Curriculum

Learn the framework
I trade every day.

Eight modules covering setup grading, entries, exits, sizing, discipline, and the recursive learning loop. Module 1 is free forever. During founding preview, Modules 2-8 are open so early customers can judge the full paid curriculum before the launch wall returns.

Every module and long-form article includes optional audio narration — press Play on the lesson page; nothing downloads until you start listening.

The 5-Layer Framework

Compression precondition. Anticipatory positioning. Paint + range trigger. HTF target. Session discipline. The actual decision framework I run on every trade, broken down with examples from real journal trades. ~15 minute read.

  • Why "the framework" beats prediction
  • Each layer in plain English with examples
  • How the layers grade A through F
  • The two grade caps that override technical quality
  • What an A-grade setup actually looks like

Stop-Loss Discipline (the only thing that kept me alive 9 years)

Hard stop placement. The breakeven trap that kills more winners than losses ever did. Why "our entries turn to support way too often" and the mental-trail rule I use instead. Stops beyond wick zones, targets at labels.

  • Initial stop placement by setup type
  • The premature-BE killer pattern
  • Stop-distance must match instrument noise, not desired R
  • Wide stops beat tight stops in noisy futures
  • The asymmetric rule: wicks through label for stops, label for targets

Anticipatory Entries — Buy Before the Breakout, Sell Before the Breakdown

How to enter near a structural HTF label with risk defined just past it — instead of chasing the breakout from above. The 200-tick cost-basis advantage demonstrated on the CL +4R trade. When to chase and when not to.

  • Reading JalenLabels — pDHigh, 1W Open, 3M Open, etc.
  • The compression-coil recognition pattern
  • Entry execution: limit vs market vs stop-buy
  • Multi-leg averaging into anticipatory positions
  • When chasing IS the right move (rare but real)

Trail Rules — Closing the R-Capture Gap

Wicky-expansion reversal exit. Label-anchored trail with breakeven floor. Paint-flip trail. The three trail rules I use and when each applies. Why I stopped trailing my hard stop forward and started mentally trailing instead.

  • Rule 4: wicky-expansion reversal (the spec ship-first rule)
  • Rule 2: label-anchored trail with BE floor
  • Rule 3: paint-flip trail for B-grade setups
  • Composite Rule 5 — when to use which
  • How to read climactic range expansion at HTF target as exit

Sizing — Math the Year, Then Math the Day

The 3-tier discrete sizing model (1x base, 2x B, 3x A+). Why size scales to current drawdown, not flat. The annual P&L math: 5 funded × $100/trade × 50% hit × 2.5R × 250 days = $93,750 net. If you can't math it, you're hoping not planning.

  • The 3-shots-a-day cap (TradeNet 2018 lesson, still true)
  • Daily risk = 3x per-trade max
  • Drawdown-aware sizing (the $250-up-and-down mistake)
  • The annual P&L equation worked in detail
  • Adding within risk vs adding past risk

Session Discipline — RTH, Asia Open, and the 3-5pm PT Dead Zone

Why I don't initiate new trades 3-5pm PT. Why held positions can ride through. Why 7-10am PT and 5-9pm PT are the sweet spots and what to do during the rest of the day. The 5th framework layer that catches sloppy late-day trades.

  • The 3-5pm PT no-trade window rule
  • Hold-through-dead-zone vs new-entry-in-dead-zone
  • The Asia open at 5pm PT — what I look for
  • Why power hour is operator-disliked
  • Building your own session-discipline schedule

The Spiral — How to Recognize It and Stop It

"Most of my losses come in 1-2 days when it took me 6-7 days to run up the bag." The pattern: 1 loss → forced re-entry → 2nd loss → reverse → 3rd loss → tilt → done. Anti-spiral rules built from real journal evidence.

  • The 2-loss pause rule
  • Forcing shorts on green daily paint (the most-violated rule)
  • FOMO entries detection
  • Revenge trade self-recognition
  • The "step away" decision tree

Override Capture — How the System Learns Where Your Instinct Beats the Rules

Layer 4 of the product: every override you log becomes evidence. After 30+ overrides, patterns emerge: "you override wicky-expansion exits on CL — and you're right 75% of the time." The recursive-learning loop that turns the bot from a graders into a coach that learns YOU.

  • How override capture works (no fric​tion required)
  • Verdict resolution: operator-right / bot-right / inconclusive
  • The 30-day analyzer + suggestion threshold
  • Examples of refinements the system has surfaced
  • Why this is the hardest competitor moat to clone
