Intake open

Every phase is one rank. You advance when you are ready.

Every phase ends at a gate.

Each phase is a chapter of the game. Your pawn moves up a rank only when the gate before it opens.

A board of 4 ranks, one for each phase. A pawn climbs one rank per phase, through a gate that opens only on approval.

    Inside the Bootcamp

Phase durations are confirmed for each intake in your offer letter.

Finished is not the same as passed.

Finishing the lessons in a phase is not the same as passing it. Your mentor recommends you for the next phase, and the faculty lead approves it against a checklist for your curriculum version.

  1. Lessons complete

    You have worked through the material and submitted the assignments for the phase.

  2. Mentor recommends

    Your mentor reviews your work and your journal, then recommends you for the next phase.

  3. Faculty lead approves

    The faculty lead checks the recommendation against the checklist for your curriculum version.

How you learn.

Four habits, repeated until they hold.

  1. Structured study

    Lessons are organised by phase and week, with material you can download for patchy connections.

  2. Practical assignments

    Each topic ends with work you submit. You can see every version you sent and every piece of feedback.

  3. Journaling

    From phase 3 you journal every trade: plan, risk, screenshots, result and what you learned.

  4. Mentor feedback

    An assigned mentor reviews your work against a rubric and tells you exactly what to correct.

Who it is for.

Eligibility

Anyone serious about learning to trade with a professional, system-based approach can apply. You need time to study each week, a computer or phone with a charting platform, and willingness to have your work reviewed.
