Module I · Foundations
The Foundation
How money works: budgeting, debt, saving and credit. The basics every adult should know.
- 01$300 a month, saved
Since 2011: kept in a drawer, in Treasury bills, or in an S&P 500 index fund. The dotted line is what it took just to keep up with prices.
- 02$300 a month, borrowed
The same $300 charged to a card every month and never paid down, at the average card rate. This is why debt comes first.
The light behind this module: the 3-month Treasury bill yield, December 2010 to October 2026: roughly what safe cash earned.
Real rates from the Federal Reserve (FRED): the 3-month Treasury bill, the credit card rate on accounts charged interest, and consumer prices. Index fund: SPY with dividends reinvested. Before taxes and fees. Past results don’t guarantee future results.
Module II · Character
Wealth Mindset & Psychology
Discipline, patience and faith: the person behind every trade.
- 01Fear, before the open
On 5 August 2024, Japan’s market fell 12.4% overnight. S&P 500 futures fell with it and hit their low at 8:32 AM.
- 02Two impulses
Fear says sell the low. Greed says chase the spike. That morning, each one was the worst price of the next hour.
The light behind this module: S&P 500 futures, minute by minute, on 5 August 2024, the day of the global sell-off.
Real S&P 500 futures (ES) prices, every minute from 4 AM ET.
Module III · Craft
Active Trading
Reading charts and price movement, managing risk on every position, and choosing between day trading and swing trading.
- 01Stop first, then 3R
S&P 500 futures, 15 October 2025. Decide where you’re wrong first: just under the swing low. Risking 1% buys 12 micro contracts, and the target three times the risk away hit in 16 minutes.
- 02Same plan, slower clock
The same plan on daily candles in October 2024. The wider stop buys one contract, and the same 3R took 25 trading days. Day trades answer fast; swing trades fit around a job.
The light behind this module: S&P 500 futures, every trading day from June 2010 to October 2026.
Real S&P 500 futures (ES) prices. Sized in Micro E-mini contracts ($5 a point) on an example $50,000 account, before fees. Real trades, shown to teach the plan: where the stop goes, how big to trade, where the target sits. One trade isn’t a strategy.
Module IV · Craft
Options
What options are, how they’re priced, and how to use them with defined risk. Here’s a real same-day put on SPY, bought at 10:01 and held to the 4 PM expiry: where it makes money, where it loses, and what actually happened.
- 01Long put
Buy a put: the right to sell SPY at the strike. At 10:01 the $562 put cost $1.16. SPY slid all day and closed at $555.66, so it finished worth $6.34. The most you can lose is what you paid.
The light behind this module: SPY, every trading day since January 1993, dividends reinvested.
Real SPY prices (5-minute candles) and a real option quote: the bid/ask midpoint at 10:01 AM ET on 28 March 2025. The option expired at 4 PM the same day, settled on SPY’s official close. Profit and loss for one contract (100 shares), before fees. Same-day options can lose their whole price in hours.
Module V · Craft
Institutional Price Action
Market structure, and how the biggest players move price.
- 01The sweep
Lower highs and lower lows: sellers in control. Nasdaq-100 futures, 12 November 2025. At 11:45, price dipped below the obvious low, filled the stop orders there, and closed back above.
- 02The shift
At 12:35, one strong candle broke the last lower high, and price made a new high by 12:55. It doesn’t usually go this cleanly: of the 235 times this pattern formed on NQ since 2019, 23% reached a new high.
The light behind this module: Nasdaq-100 futures, every session from September 2022 to October 2026.
Real Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) prices, 5-minute candles, regular hours. The pattern was found by a fixed rule and drawn after the fact. The same rule, run on every NQ session from 2019 to 2026, found it 235 times, and 23% went on to a new high. Patterns are clearest in hindsight, which is why every trade still has a stop.
Module VI · Craft
Crypto & Alternative Assets
Digital assets and alternatives, approached with the same discipline.
- 01The ride
Bitcoin went from $27,945 to a peak of $124,720, then fell 53% in under nine months.
- 02The swings
Over three years, Bitcoin moved 4% or more in a day 109 times. SPY did it 4 times.
The light behind this module: Bitcoin, every day from October 2023 to October 2026.
Real Bitcoin daily closes (Coinbase) and SPY with dividends reinvested, October 2023 to October 2026.
Two of the six modules are finished; the rest are in production for launch.
