01
When a session moves away from the plan.
Extra trades and unplanned changes can make a session difficult to review. A written stopping rule gives you a clear point at which to step away.

01 / THE PROBLEM
Build around the challenges you recognize.
The course focuses on practical situations that can interrupt an otherwise considered trading plan.
02
When evaluation rules are hard to manage.
Drawdown limits, position size, and evaluation conditions can interact in unexpected ways. Work through the applicable rules and define your risk limits before trading.
03
When waiting becomes the difficult part.
Fast-moving charts can create pressure to act. A setup checklist makes the conditions you are waiting for explicit.
04
When results are difficult to interpret.
A sequence of wins or losses does not explain the quality of a process by itself. Structured records help you examine execution, variability, and recurring mistakes.
05
When knowledge needs a practical routine.
Knowing several setups is different from having a daily process. The course connects preparation, a focused playbook, and post-session review.
The aim is a process you can describe, practice, and review—not a promise of profitable results.
02 / THE MECHANISM
A setup is one part of the process.
Build the routine around it.
Preparation, execution rules, and review give a setup a consistent context. The course brings those activities together in a practical workflow.
Define the plan. Practice it. Review the evidence.
The 31 videos start with futures and chart foundations (contract units, candles, wicks, volume and data labels), then cover a focused playbook, orders and fills, risk, and structured recordkeeping. Module 8 covers tools, records and combined account exposure. The suggested practice schedule spans eight weeks; progress depends on your circumstances and review results, not the calendar alone.
03 / WHAT YOU WILL PRACTICE
A framework to practice and evaluate.
Work through the exercises, record your observations, and assess how well the process fits your trading.
- 01 Read futures charts from the ground up: contract units, candles, wicks, volume and data labels.
- 02 Study liquidity, volume profile, and VWAP bands as frameworks for reading market structure.
- 03 Practice the liquidity sweep and reclaim and VWAP reversion setups with defined entry, stop, and target rules in simulation.
- 04 Use the Go/No-Go decision matrix to compare a potential trade with your written criteria.
- 05 Compare the course’s session windows with observed market conditions and plan periods when you will not trade.
- 06 Calculate risk from remaining loss capacity, and expectancy after costs.
- 07 Follow how orders and fills work, including a Tradovate web replay order walkthrough.
- 08 Learn platform lockout settings and verify them before relying on them.
- 09 Build a pre-session routine that records the session context and relevant events.
- 10 Record MFE/MAE and execution notes to review the process as well as profit and loss.
- 11 Use the SIM Crucible as an evidence review of rule adherence and expectancy. Meeting a practice benchmark does not guarantee live results.
- 12 Work through copied accounts and combined account exposure on paper, and check each provider’s current rules.

08 / IS THIS FOR YOU?
Is this the right fit?
This is for you if:
- You trade NQ, ES, or their Micros (MNQ, MES) intraday.
- You want a structured process, whether you are new to futures charts or already read them; the course starts with contract units, candles, wicks, volume and data labels.
- You're preparing for a prop firm evaluation, already in one, or practicing in simulation first.
- You want to document recurring execution challenges and work on them.
- You're willing to practice in simulation and let documented review guide your next steps.
- You prefer focused practice with a small playbook.
This is NOT for you if:
- You want continuous platform recordings; the replay walkthrough uses diagrams and stills.
- You trade swing or position; this is intraday scalping content.
- You need instruction specific to crypto, options, or stocks; this course focuses on NQ and ES futures.
- You're looking for signals, alerts, or a Discord room to follow.
- You prefer a live trading room rather than self-directed study.
- You are looking for immediate live-trading results rather than a simulation practice program.
09 / QUESTIONS
Questions about the course.
Q01 How long will it take me to complete the course?
The 31 videos total about 2 hours 52 minutes. Working the 86 practice exercises and the simulation practice takes longer. The suggested practice schedule is eight weeks, but progress and readiness vary by person. Your access lasts 12 months from purchase.
Q02 Do I need NinjaTrader 8 or Tradovate?
No. The supplied cases need only the videos, a calculator and a journal. Some demonstrations use NinjaTrader 8, and the Tradovate / NinjaTrader web replay and SIM walkthrough is shown with diagrams and stills, not continuous platform recordings. Optional platform practice uses a supported simulator or replay environment; its availability, data access and any fees are separate. The course does not include software or a license.
Q03 Will this work for $YM, $CL, $GC, or other futures contracts?
The course examples and timing discussions focus on NQ, ES, and their Micro contracts. Applying a framework to other markets requires separate review of contract specifications, sessions, volatility, and risk.
Q04 How is this different from ICT, Smart Money, or institutional concepts courses?
This course emphasizes the workflow around two setups: preparation, execution rules, simulation practice, and post-session review. Review the curriculum to judge whether it adds something useful to what you already study.
Q05 Does the course guarantee trading results?
The course teaches an analytical and operational framework. It does not promise income, profitability, funding, or a particular win rate. Simulation and live outcomes can differ substantially.
Q06 How can I tell whether the course fits my needs?
The exercises connect the setup rules to written routines and review records. You can assess the curriculum against your needs; no course can ensure that a method will work for every trader.
Q07 Is there a community or Discord?
A Discord community is not included with this course. The course is intended to be self-contained. SteelySystems indicator users have a separate community.
Q08 What happens after I pass the SIM Crucible?
Module 7 treats the SIM Crucible as an evidence review, explains why a possible live transition needs its own review, and covers an optional scaling plan on paper. Module 8 covers tools, records and combined account exposure. Passing a practice benchmark does not establish live readiness or guarantee funding. Progress and provider rules must be assessed separately.
Q09 Can I enroll now, and what are the purchase terms?
Yes. Enrollment is on Whop: $199 USD, paid once, for 12 months (365 days) of course access from purchase, with no automatic renewal. Course updates during your access period are included. Course purchases are non-refundable unless the course is damaged or inaccessible, meaning a technical problem with the course prevents access to or use of the purchased content. Report the problem through Whop or email [email protected]. Course access ends when a purchase is refunded.
Q10 How many lessons are there?
31 captioned videos across eight modules. The Whop course lists 40 entries in all: the 31 videos, eight module quizzes (81 questions) and a written orientation with the downloadable resources (31 transcripts and 86 practice exercises).
Q11 How do I get help if I have questions?
Email [email protected] with your course question; we aim to reply within two business days. Include the module or video where possible so we can understand what you need. Software, market data and individual coaching are separate.
