ABOUT THIS COURSE

What you will learn.

Joshua's shortest course — a two-week intro for people curious about trading but not ready to commit to the full Beginner cohort.

Twenty lessons across roughly five hours of video, covering how markets actually work, chart-reading fundamentals, and the single most-important discipline of any trader: risk management. You leave with a written personal risk plan, five paper-trade journal entries, and enough grounding to decide whether the Beginner cohort is right for you.

WHAT YOU’LL BUILD

Four substantial projects.

Project 01

Personal risk plan

Draft your written risk plan — max risk per trade, per day, weekly stop rules — using the course template.

Project 02

Five paper trades

Take five paper trades with full journal entries — setup, risk, entry, exit, outcome, lesson.

CURRICULUM

Week by week.

FIT

Who this is for — and who it is not.

For you if

  • You're curious about trading and want a structured entry point.
  • You want to see whether the Beginner cohort is right for you before spending €500.
  • You've got two weeks and can commit ~2 hours a week.

Probably not for you if

  • You've already placed live trades — Beginner is where you should start.
  • You want daily research or 1:1 mentorship — Trader / Elite tier.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Taught by an operator.

Marcus spent eight years at Stripe, where he led the team responsible for the Radar risk-decisioning platform. Before that he wrote infrastructure at Square and Twilio. He thinks about LLM systems the way payments engineers think about payments — with a healthy paranoia about retries, idempotency, observability, and the long tail of failure modes that only show up at 3 a.m. on a Saturday.
