§01
Designed for a patient pace
Readable text, Canadian examples and written explanations. Take time to study a lesson, review key terms and return to a section when you need to.
Our methodology
How we actually teach.
What follows is the curriculum framework — what we cover, in what order, and why. Written plainly so you can decide for yourself whether it suits you.
We teach trading like a craft, not a casino.
Our approach combines plain-language study, simulated examples and attention to risk. These four principles explain that approach.
§01
Practise with a simulation
The free Foundations course introduces a paper-trading exercise. Use a simulated example to study order entry and record the result while learning how trading works.
§02
Risk is the first skill
Ask what could go wrong as you study how trading works. The free Foundations course introduces trading costs and a simulated plan with an entry, stop and target.
§03
Plain language, repeated often
Written Foundations lessons explain key terms and include glossary entries you can revisit as you study.
§04
Slow and deliberate
Read the written lesson at your own pace. Use quiz questions to check what you understood, then return to any section you want to review.
Range: sideways prices.
Breakout: price leaves range.
Review: compare with a plan.
Six things we got right for patient learners.
These principles describe our approach to market education: plain-language study, a patient pace and attention to the risks of trading.
§02
Understanding risk
We place risk alongside market mechanics. Trading involves the possibility of loss; learning the vocabulary does not remove that risk.
§03
Learn at your pace
Study the written Foundations lessons at a pace that suits you. Return to an explanation or glossary term whenever you want to review it.
§04
Plain English, with definitions
The written Foundations lessons include explanations of market vocabulary, glossary entries and quiz questions to help you review.
§05
Canadian context
Examples use Canadian dollars and introduce checking a broker's registration. The academy provides general education; personal investment advice belongs with a registered professional.
§06
