How you learn
Day 1 is the day you enrol.
Four-stage training path
Cadet to Captain. And beyond.
Cadet → Second Officer → First Officer → Captain. The 90 core lessons and 14 new extension chapters are readable free across four ranks. Ten published Cadet lessons support graded mastery; the other 80 are labelled beta drafts pending instructor approval.

Enter the Captain programme
Captain is a milestone, not a finish line
Your learning, trading journal, technical research and decision discipline continue beyond all four stages. The first 52 weekly missions structure the foundation; no further credentials or paid programmes are implied until separately approved.
Beta chapters and their educational illustrations are available for review; assessments and certification for the unreleased ranks await instructor sign-off. Redesigned Captain CP01–CP06 differs from historical P01–P06, so old scores never grant new credit.
These 52 optional weekly missions support practice alongside the complete 104-lesson syllabus. A mission is not itself a released lesson, exam or qualification. Rank progression is based on approved assessments, not weeks elapsed.
Weeks 1–13
Foundations & chart literacy
Markets, candlesticks, leverage, a written demo plan, your first journal and handling losses.
Weeks 14–26
Orders, sizing & macro context
Contract maths, execution, economic calendars, central banks and cognitive bias.
Weeks 27–39
Chart analysis & strategy tests
Price structure, indicator limits, rules, chronological backtests, forward demo tests and Monte Carlo basics.
Weeks 40–52
Independent research & operations
Risk, psychology, research questions, data quality, trading manuals and incident reviews.
The 52 personal missions
Each week can suggest an optional practice mission. Some missions are optional practice beyond the taught lessons; use the 104-lesson review syllabus for the exact student-facing teaching content. Lessons do not unlock on a calendar schedule, and the journal continues beyond the first year.
