Curriculum
From candlestick charts to risk management: the trading curriculum
5 zones, 20 camps, 97 lessons. You can read every camp's rules and teaching here; in the app the same topic is played on realistic charts, with your own decisions. Seaside Town is free, the later zones come with Summit.
Seaside Town · Basic patterns
free- Camp 1 · Harbor · 5 lessonsThe language of candlesEach candle sums up one period: open, high, low and close.
- Camp 2 · Shipyard · 5 lessonsCandlestick patternsHammer: after a decline. Small body, a lower wick at least twice the body, a short upper wick. Sellers tried, buyers took it back.
- Camp 3 · Breakwater · 5 lessonsSupport and resistanceSupport: a zone where falling price keeps finding buyers. Resistance: a zone where rising price keeps finding sellers.
- Camp 4 · Lighthouse · 5 lessonsFollowing the trendUptrend: each peak higher than the last (HH), each trough higher than the last (HL).
Crystal Pass · Advanced patterns
1,400 rating · Summit- Camp 1 · Pass Mouth · 5 lessonsBreakout and retestA breakout is a close: the candle's body closes on the far side of the level. A wick poking through the level is not a breakout.
- Camp 2 · Mirror Cave · 5 lessonsFalse breakoutFalse breakout: price closes on the far side of the level but can't hold there, and a few candles later it comes back.
- Camp 3 · Crystal Hall · 6 lessonsChart patternsA chart pattern is the mark a recurring fight between buyers and sellers leaves on the chart. It's nothing new, just the level and trend reading you already know, put side by side.
- Camp 4 · Underground Lake · 5 lessonsLiquidityLiquidity is the orders waiting at a price, ready to trade. A big order needs a lot of orders on the other side to get filled.
Storm Ridge · Reading news and data
1,800 rating · Summit- Camp 1 · Watchtower · 5 lessonsCalendar and expectationsThe news that shakes the market most is announced in advance: the day and hour are on the economic calendar. Don't open a trade without checking the calendar.
- Camp 2 · Lightning Rock · 5 lessonsThe news candleA news candle is longer than every candle before it and often leaves long wicks on both ends: stops on both sides get taken.
- Camp 3 · Stone Bridge · 5 lessonsNews and structureThe news doesn't erase what you learned below. Levels work in a storm too: a news spike often runs into old resistance or support and stops there.
- Camp 4 · Great Rift · 4 lessonsEarnings and gapsA gap is when a candle opens well away from the previous candle's close. It leaves a rift where nothing traded.
Glacier Valley · Discipline and risk management
2,000 rating · Summit- Camp 1 · Glacier Gate · 5 lessonsRisk and stopsYour stop goes where your trade idea is proven wrong: just past the last trough on a buy, or the last peak on a sell. Not a pip count you picked out of habit.
- Camp 2 · Supply Hut · 5 lessonsPosition sizingRisk a small, fixed percentage of your account on each trade. Most experienced traders stay between 0.5% and 2%. This camp uses 1%.
- Camp 3 · Crevasses · 5 lessonsDrawdownDrawdown is how far your account falls from its highest point. Every system has drawdowns. The question is how deep they go.
- Camp 4 · Whiteout · 6 lessonsFOMO and FUDFOMO (fear of missing out): jumping in late and without a plan because you think you've missed the move. On a late entry, the stop is far away and the risk/reward is bad.
Golden Summit · Put every skill together
2,200 rating · Summit- Camp 1 · Lookout Rock · 4 lessonsMultiple timeframesThe higher timeframe gives you the direction; the lower timeframe gives you the entry. Look at H1 (or higher) first: that's where the trend and the big levels are.
- Camp 2 · Golden Canyon · 4 lessonsLiquidity trapsEqual highs and equal lows are liquidity pools: stops pile up above and below them. Price often pays them a visit first.
- Camp 3 · Sea of Clouds · 4 lessonsMarket psychologyThe emotion cycle: hope → optimism → euphoria → anxiety → denial → fear → capitulation → hope. At any point in a trend, the crowd is living through one of them.
- Camp 4 · Golden Summit · 4 lessonsComplex scenariosThe plan, in order: 1 Direction and levels on the higher timeframe · 2 The calendar (any high-impact news?) · 3 A setup on the lower timeframe · 4 Stop (where the idea breaks) and target · 5 Risk/reward · 6 Lots · 7 How you're doing today (loss limit, mood).
