What does the Academy cost?

The Operator Base is free. The Operator Membership costs €99 a month or €890 a year. The live cohort costs €4,997 one-time, with the membership included for its 90 days. All prices include VAT.

Can I cancel the membership?

Yes. The membership can be cancelled monthly and has no minimum term. The Operator Base with the journal stays open to you free of charge afterwards.

How do I get the founding price?

Join the waitlist by 31 March 2027 and become a member by 30 April 2027. You then pay €69 instead of €99 a month for as long as you stay. There is no quota and no deposit.

What happens before 1 April 2027?

Only the waitlist. You cannot buy or prepay anything; if you sign up, you get the build progress in the devlog and the founding terms by email until then. The live cohort can be booked from 1 July 2027; before that, only a non-binding expression of interest is possible.

Where does the data for the blind replay come from?

From you. You import your own price data, for example a CSV export from TradingView, or connect ATAS via the bridge. The Academy does not distribute market data. The replay still stays blind: it draws a random window from your data and hides date and instrument.

Are there forecasts, signals or trade ideas?

No. The Academy trains a method and gives no forecasts, no signals and no investment advice. The AI mentor declines questions about price direction or buy decisions, and the live session only discusses historical charts.

Is my edge verdict public?

No. Only you see your verdict, in your cockpit. There is no leaderboard. Should the accountability report ever show a distribution of verdicts, it will be anonymous, only after a legal review and only for groups of at least 20 people.

Do I get a certificate?

No. There is no exam, no title and no certificate. What you hold at the end is your journal and the verdict on your edge.

What counts as an active operator?

At least 5 complete journal entries in the last 90 days, all from real-time decisions, meaning a forward test in the simulator or real money. Replay trades count as practice and are shown separately in the accountability report.

Do I need prior experience?

The Academy is built for people with some experience. If you have traded for less than 6 months, simulator included, or the diagnostic test shows gaps in the basics, you start with the primer track. It is part of the free Operator Base.

How much time do I need?

That is up to you. The lessons are modular, the drills short. For the edge verdict you need at least 100 evaluated trades, and how quickly they add up depends on how you trade. We do not promise “pro in X weeks”.

What happened to the Cave, the Ascent and the Return?

They are the stages of maturity on the learning path in the membership. They are no longer sold as separate products; the whole path is included in the membership.

Waitlist open · starts 1 April 2027

Skill. And an honest verdict on your edge.

The Operator Academy trains the WVPO method until you can apply it yourself. After at least 100 evaluated trades you get a verdict on your own edge, computed from your numbers: validated, on probation or rejected.

Until the start there is nothing to buy and nothing to prepay, only the waitlist. Join it by 31 March 2027 and become a member by 30 April 2027 to pay €69 a month for as long as you stay.

To the waitlist

The promise

You leave with two things.

Skill

A verifiable method you apply yourself: Wyckoff, volume profile, price action and order flow, trained on charts and on your own journal.

A verdict on your edge

It comes from the three-phase gate in Chapter 17: replay, forward test, evaluation of at least 100 trades. The verdict is stated in numbers, even if you don't like it.

Three possible verdicts

Validated
Expectancy above +0.3 R and profit factor above 1.75
On probation
Expectancy above 0 R, but not both thresholds met
Rejected
Expectancy at 0 R or below

Thresholds from Volume I, Chapter 17. Everything is measured in R, multiples of your risk per trade, never in euros.

The verdict is yours.

It stays private in your cockpit; nobody else sees it. The Academy holds no exam and awards no title and no certificate.

The verdict describes your past trades. It is not a forecast and no promise of future results.

The learning path

Three stages of maturity, one path.

Cave, Ascent and Return are the stages of maturity from the book series. In the Cave you build the foundation, in the Ascent the process is installed, in the Return you pass on what you have proven yourself. You cannot buy the stages separately: the whole path is part of the membership.

The stages of maturity on the learning path. The diagnostic test suggests where you begin.

WVPO Journal: 15 fields; per trade, from Volume I, Chapter 17, free in the Operator Base
Path to the verdict: 3 phases; replay, forward test, evaluation
Minimum: 100 trades; only then is there a verdict on your edge

Blind replay

Date and instrument are hidden, the chart runs candle by candle. You decide without knowing how it ended, and every trade goes into the journal automatically.

Pre-trade Socrates

Before every replay trade, Socrates asks about bias, zone, signal and stop. It gives no answers. It checks whether you have your own.

WVPO Journal

The 15 fields from Chapter 17 for every trade, forward test or real money. You can import your broker's CSV export; you add setup, regime and filters yourself.

For the replay you bring your own price data, for example as a CSV export from TradingView or via the ATAS bridge. The Academy does not distribute market data. It still stays blind: the replay draws a random window and hides date and instrument.

The AI mentor

Four roles and one clear limit.

The AI mentor is part of the membership. In the audit, the same six subagents from Chapter 37 that drive the Composite Engine review your trades: five analysis agents for Wyckoff, volume, price action, order flow and AVWAP, plus the risk engine with its veto.

AI audit: Assesses every trade against the method, with reasons per layer.
Pre-trade Socrates: Asks about your plan before the trade instead of praising you afterwards.
Method tutor: Answers questions about the method around the clock. Every answer names its source in the volumes; where there is none, it says so.
Curator: Spots recurring patterns in your journal and suggests the lesson that fits.

The limit

The mentor gives no forecasts and no trading recommendations. It declines questions like “Should I buy now?” and shows instead how the method reads such a situation.

The six-subagent architecture from Chapter 37: an audit in the Academy, a live copilot in the app.

What we measure ourselves by

Active operators, not sign-ups.

The Academy measures itself by one number: active operators. Active means at least 5 complete journal entries in the last 90 days. Complete means every required field of the scorecard is filled in.

What counts: Real-time decisions: a forward test in the simulator or real money.
What doesn't count: Replay trades. They are practice and have a line of their own in the report.

Announced · first report July 2027

The accountability report

From July 2027 we will publish every quarter how the Academy is working. It will show:

how many operators are active, split by simulator and real money
how many replay trades were added as practice
how many operators are still active after three and after twelve months
how blind replay, the tutor and learning pairs are used

Returns, account balances and money amounts never appear in the report.
