6-month programme · Volume analysis · Live from Frankfurt
Read the volume.
Size the risk.
Then trade.
Not a signal group, and not a video course that leaves you on your own. Six months of structured training with weekly live sessions, your own mentor and a rulebook you can still apply once we're out of the picture.
Trading carries the risk of substantial loss. We provide education — not investment advice, and no promises about returns.

Why most people
quit after four months
Not for lack of motivation. They quit because they started with a strategy they never worked through themselves. While the hit rate holds up, that's fine. At the first extended drawdown there's no basis for telling the difference: is this the normal variance of my system — or is my system broken?
Anyone who can't do that calculation switches strategy. Then switches again. Four months later the account and the patience are gone, and the market was never the problem.
A strategy you haven't worked through yourself won't survive two weeks of drawdown.
That's where the programme starts. You learn to read volume, to size the risk on every trade, and to document results so that a losing streak is a number rather than a feeling. It's unglamorous and it takes months — and it's the part almost nobody does.
Six months, six building blocks
Every block ends with an assignment your mentor reviews. Nothing moves forward until it's done — which is exactly why the cohorts stay small.
-
01
Market mechanics & the order book
How a price actually comes about: auction, liquidity, spread, slippage. Only after that does any chart make sense.
-
02
Reading the volume profile
Point of control, value area, unfair highs. You learn where the market actually traded — not where a line happens to look neat.
-
03
Risk & position sizing
Risk per trade, daily loss limit, expectancy. The part most people skip — and the one that decides everything else.
-
04
Your rulebook
From the first three months you write a rulebook: setups, exclusion criteria, exits. Ten pages that belong to you.
-
05
Simulation & journal
Four weeks in the simulator, every trade documented. What gets marked isn't the result — it's whether you followed your own rules.
-
06
Going live, small
You start at minimum size with a weekly review. Size goes up only when the numbers justify it.
What your weekly
review looks like
Every week you send your mentor this extract. What gets assessed is the rules followed column — not the one next to it. Six months of disciplined documentation leaves you with something no course can hand over: reliable numbers on your own behaviour.

Who teaches you
Three mentors, assigned for the duration. You don't get “the team” — you get one person who knows your numbers.

Voices from the cohorts
“The risk month cost me the most — time, not money. Before that I was guessing position sizes. That's the whole difference.”
Andreas, 41 · Cohort 2024-B
“Not being able to move on without handing in the assignment annoyed me at first. Looking back, it's the reason I stuck with it.”
Katharina, 34 · Cohort 2024-A
“I'd bought two courses before and finished neither. Here somebody calls you if you go quiet for a week.”
Sven, 29 · Cohort 2025-A
Individual accounts say nothing about typical results.
How admission works
-
Step 1
A 20-minute call
By phone. We go through where you are, how much time you have, and whether the programme fits at all.
-
Step 2
An honest answer
Roughly one in three gets a no from us, or a suggestion to come back later. That saves both sides six months.
-
Step 3
Start with the next cohort
Cohorts start every eight weeks with twelve students at most. The group then stays together.
Common questions
What does the programme cost?
We give you the price on the intro call, because it depends on the scope you pick (group format or extended 1:1 support). Instalments are possible. What we don't do: withhold the price until you've sat through three sales calls.
How much time does it take?
Around eight to ten hours a week: four live sessions (60–90 minutes each, recordings available) plus your assignment. Anyone regularly below five hours won't keep up with the material.
Do I need prior knowledge?
No. Block 01 starts at market mechanics. Students with experience skip nothing — in practice, risk sizing is the biggest gap precisely for them.
How much capital do I need to start?
For the first five months, none: everything is taught and simulated without real money. For going live in month six, our position is that you only ever deploy capital whose total loss wouldn't change your circumstances.
Do you guarantee I'll be profitable?
No, and nobody serious does. What we guarantee is the teaching: fixed sessions, a fixed mentor, every assignment marked. The trading result depends on you and on the market.
Is this investment advice?
No. We pass on knowledge only and make no recommendations on individual financial instruments. No investment advice and no portfolio management takes place — see the risk notice below.
Do I need to speak German?
No. Live sessions and mentoring run in English for the international cohort; recordings and the written material come in both languages.
Request your intro call
We call you back within one working day. No countdown sales pitch — 20 minutes in which you might also hear that this isn't the right moment.
Risk notice
Trading financial instruments, and leveraged products such as futures and CFDs in particular, involves substantial risk and can lead to the total loss of the capital deployed. Past performance, worked examples and individual student accounts allow no conclusion about future results.
