Who it is for

Adults who trade or invest personally and want a repeatable way to mark support, resistance, and trend without relying on tip sheets. Suitable for beginners who can already open a price chart.

What you leave with

You leave able to sketch market structure on a blank chart, name the invalidation for a setup in plain language, and keep a simple session journal that matches how we work in class.

Scope

  • Six live evening sessions (studio seat or remote video)
  • Printed and digital workbook with ASX case charts
  • Weekly homework charts reviewed in the following class
  • Access to the cohort discussion board for the intake window
  • Certificate of completion for attendance and submitted charts

Not included

  • Broker recommendations or personal financial advice
  • Automated signal alerts or trade copying
  • One-to-one mentoring hours (available separately)

How the course runs

  1. 1

    Orientation and chart hygiene

    We set timeframe habits, candle anatomy, and how volume confirms or questions a move on Australian equities.

  2. 2

    Structure before indicators

    Swing highs and lows, trendlines that survive noise, and zones drawn from reaction rather than round numbers alone.

  3. 3

    Pattern vocabulary with evidence

    Flags, failed breakouts, and range behaviour taught against charts that did not resolve cleanly.

  4. 4

    Risk framing and journaling

    Position sizing language, stop placement tied to structure, and a short review ritual after each session.

Duration

Six consecutive weeks, Wednesday evenings 18:30–21:00 AEST

Delivery

Hybrid from the East Samanthastead studio with a capped remote cohort

Preparation

Install or open your preferred charting package, print the warm-up PDF we send a week before day one, and bring three charts you have already marked — rough is fine.
