What you'll learn
Most traders collect setups. They hoard patterns, indicators, and rules the way a hoarder collects newspapers, and then wonder why the stack never turns into a decision. The problem is not a shortage of information — it is a shortage of structure. This course installs twelve thinking frameworks — base rates, expected value, convexity, inversion, second-order thinking, and the rest — and drills each one until it terminates in a concrete decision on a real instrument, with dollars attached. By the capstone you will run five lenses on a single ES trade and size the position by how many of them agree.
