Welcome to Cohort VI

Your first class is about getting set up and oriented. We'll walk through the three platforms you'll use throughout this cohort — TradingView, Tradovate, and FXReplay — and make sure everyone is ready before a single concept is taught. You'll also receive your full graduation criteria today so you know exactly what you're working toward from the very beginning.

• How to set up and navigate TradingView with the correct charts loaded
• How to create and access your Tradovate demo account
• How to log in and navigate FXReplay for practice sessions
• What graduation looks like and exactly what's required to earn it

This class builds your foundation. We're covering what futures actually are, how trading accounts work, and how to use different timeframes together. We'll also do a high-level comparison of trading with a prop firm versus trading your own personal funds — not deep detail yet, just enough for you to start thinking about which direction makes sense for you. You'll leave this class understanding what you're learning and why it matters.

• What futures contracts are and how they differ from stocks
• How leverage works and what it means for your account
• How to use multiple timeframes together to build a market bias
• The difference between trading a prop firm account and trading your own personal funds — an overview to help you start thinking about which path fits you

No homework this class — show up, be present, take notes.

Before you can read a chart, you need to understand the individual candles that make it up. This class teaches you how to look at a single candle and extract real information — is price moving with strength or showing signs of rejection? That skill is the foundation for everything that follows.

• Candlestick anatomy: body, wicks, and what each part tells you
• How to identify bullish vs bearish candles and what makes them strong or weak
• What rejection wicks are and how to read them in context
• How to look at a candle without projecting emotion onto it

Market structure is the backbone of everything. It tells you the story of what price has been doing — and more importantly, what it's likely to do next. This class goes deep on how to read trend, identify key swing points, and recognize when a trend is shifting. You will not be rushed through this. You need to own this concept before moving forward.

• Higher highs, lower lows, higher lows, and lower highs — and how they define trend
• How to identify the current market bias on any timeframe
• The difference between a Break of Structure (BOS) and a Change of Character (CHoCH)
• How to label structure cleanly and confidently on a live chart

Supply and demand zones are where we look to enter trades. This class is entirely focused on how to find them and draw them correctly — not how to trade off them yet. That comes after you've had time to practice. One week of clean zone-drawing before you execute anything is the difference between students who get it and students who guess.

• What supply and demand zones are and why price respects them
• How to identify a valid zone versus one that's already been used up
• How to draw zones correctly on TradingView — not too tight, not too wide
• What zone freshness means and how to assess it before taking a trade

Knowing what to trade is only half the picture — knowing when to trade, and when to stay out, is just as important. This class covers the London and New York sessions, how major news events move the market, and how to use an economic calendar. We also kick off our first dedicated psychology lesson here, intentionally placed before strategies begin, because your mental game needs to be in place before you're in the heat of execution.

• London and New York session times, characteristics, and the overlap window
• The news events that matter most for US futures: FOMC, CPI, and NFP
• How to set up and read an economic calendar so you're never caught off guard
• Why most retail traders fail — the psychology of discipline, patience, and consistency

No homework this class — show up, be present, take notes.

This is the class where everything starts clicking together. You have structure, you have zones, you know your sessions — now we add the execution layer. You'll learn the different entry types, how to place your stop loss and take profit properly, and how to calculate your risk-to-reward before you ever press a button. By the end of this week you'll build your first complete trade setup from scratch.

• Limit orders, market orders, and stop orders — what each is and when to use it
• How to place a stop loss logically based on your zone and structure
• How to set a take profit and calculate your R:R before entering (minimum 1:2)
• The full trade execution checklist: bias → structure → zone → entry → risk

Supply and demand is the foundation every strategy in this cohort is built on. This class shows you what it looks like in practice across two distinct styles — scalping, where you're targeting fast entries and tight reward right at the zone, and day trading, where you're working off higher timeframe zones with wider targets and more patience. You'll see both styles walked through and then practice both in FXReplay.

• How scalping S&D setups are structured — fast execution, tight R:R, zone-touch entries
• How day trading S&D differs — higher timeframe zones, more confirmation, wider targets
• How to decide which style fits your schedule, personality, and trading window
• Walkthrough of both setups from start to finish

This cohort teaches four strategies in total: Scalping S&D, Day Trading S&D, London X, and New York X. You covered the first two last class. This class completes the set. London X and New York X are session-based strategies that build directly on your S&D foundation — you already know how to identify zones and execute entries, and these strategies give that skill a defined session window and structure to operate within. By the end of this class you'll have all four strategies and a clear picture of which ones fit your schedule and personality.

• London X setup from A to Z — structure, zone, entry, and timing
• New York X setup from A to Z — how it differs from London X and when it sets up
• A decision framework for choosing which strategy fits your schedule and personality
• Side-by-side comparison of both setups with a full FXReplay walkthrough

Each morning of Week 4, before your evening class, La'Kera will host a live session from 9–10 AM EST exclusively for Cohort VI. She will be on the charts walking you through exactly what she sees — calling out structure, identifying zones, noting session behavior — through the lens of everything you've learned in this cohort. What you will see is how a trained eye reads the market in real time using the same tools and concepts you've been building for three weeks.

• La'Kera narrates the live NQ1! chart — structure, zones, session context, and what she's watching for
• You follow along on your own chart and start training your eye to see what she sees
• This is your bridge from FXReplay to the real market — same concepts, live conditions
• Come with your charts open and ready — participation is the point

You've practiced strategies. Now it's time to build the infrastructure that makes trading sustainable long-term. This class covers how to keep a trade journal that actually helps you grow, how to build your personal trade plan, and — critically — how to make the transition from demo to live capital. The gap between "I can do it in demo" and "I froze when it was real money" is one of the most common struggles in trading. We're naming it here and giving you a real framework for crossing it.

• How to set up a trade journal in Notion or a spreadsheet that you'll actually use consistently
• How to build a personal trade plan specific to your strategy, schedule, and risk tolerance
• What actually changes when you go from demo to live — psychologically and practically
• What a healthy first live week looks like and how to approach it with intention

You've been introduced to prop firms since Class 2. Now we go deep. This class breaks down exactly how evaluation accounts work, the rules you need to know before you touch one, which firms we recommend and why, and how to apply the strategies you've built directly to an evaluation environment. You're walking into this class as a trader who knows their strategy — and that's what makes this class land differently.

• How prop firm evaluations are structured — profit targets, max drawdown, and daily loss limits
• The consistency rules that catch traders off guard and how to avoid them
• Which prop firms are recommended, why, and how to evaluate others on your own
• How to apply London X, New York X, and your S&D setups within evaluation account rules

No assignment this class — show up, be present, take notes.

The final class has two parts. First, a full trade review — every student presents one real trade from their FXReplay journal or live account. You'll walk the cohort through your entry, your exit, and the most important thing you took from it, and receive live feedback. Second, La'Kera closes with a "What I'd Do If I Were You" session — an unfiltered breakdown of the exact next steps she'd take coming out of this cohort, from platform decisions to prop firm strategy to building consistency in the first 90 days. This class is mandatory. It is the cap on four weeks of work.

• Full trade review — every student presents one trade with entry, exit, and key lesson
• Live group feedback on each presentation
• "What I'd Do If I Were You" — La'Kera's honest breakdown of your exact next moves after this cohort

Come prepared to present one trade. That is the only thing required of you for this class.
