Curriculum
A path through the auction
Not every trader needs every stage. Use this map to choose where to enter—and when to stop adding programmes.
How we sequence learning
Mark. Pause. Decide.
Volume profile skill grows from deliberate marking under time pressure, then honest review. Our curriculum mirrors that loop: learn the anatomy, practice reading auctions, receive live critique, then refine alone with a private chart review when needed.
-
Stage 1 — Foundations
Two days on profile anatomy: session vs fixed-range, POC, value area, HVN/LVN. You build a pre-open checklist and mark three liquid markets with instructor guidance.
-
Stage 2 — Auction Market Lab
Three days connecting shape to auction behaviour: initiative vs responsive trade, overnight inventory, excess and unfinished business. Replay drills force a committed read before the next bar.
-
Stage 3 — Live mentoring
Four weekly sessions where your own setups are marked live. Focus shifts to location quality, stop framing outside accepted value, and standing aside when profiles conflict.
-
Optional — Private chart review
A 75-minute one-to-one when you need a blunt read on recent execution. Useful between stages or months after mentoring to recalibrate habits.
