It's Live! Excited for everyone to read and learn. I think the Intro section sets the stage well. Have some fun. Maybe you'll take in some information that will keep you in the game longer. Here's the preview The Absolutely Free* Course How in the hell did we get here? If you told me a few years ago that I would be trading full-time in front of an audience, I would have told you you're insane. I've always been a very private and introverted person, and to this day it's something I'm constantly working on. Sharing my thoughts was never my strength. I was always more comfortable alone and in quiet settings. Back in my old life, a senior leader who I have a ton of respect for said to me: "Nick, you're the smartest guy in the room who never has a fucking thing to say." A decade later I still think about that and have been trying to adjust ever since. Who This Is For If you're trading NQ or ES (or seriously thinking about it) and you're tired of content that either tells you nothing useful or drowns you in concepts that sound smart but don't help you in the moment, this is for you. I'm also going to be honest about something before we go any further, because I think about it every time someone asks me about trading education: this space is genuinely toxic. Not universally (there are good people in it) but the incentive structure is broken. The easiest way to make money in trading isn't to trade. It's to sell courses to people who want to trade. And a lot of people figured that out a long time ago. Two things have always pissed me off more than anything else in the trading world: The first is gatekeeping. Concepts documented for decades: Volume Profile, Market Profile, order flow, the DOM. Repackaged and sold like they're someone's proprietary discovery. They're not. Most of what's in this course you can find for free if you're willing to search for it. I'm not hiding that. Steidlmayer published Market Profile in 1984. Dalton wrote the book on it. The footprint chart has been around forever. None of this is a secret. The second is the performance of complexity. Taking something straightforward and making it sound so complicated, so layered, that it justifies a price tag. That's a sales tactic, not education. If you hear someone tradesplaining an idea, they either don't understand it or they're trying to impress you. Neither one helps you trade better. The real value I've gotten from this world isn't any single concept or framework. It's the people. The mentors who gave me their time and asked for nothing. The trading buddies who've talked me through bad weeks. The community that exists outside the gated Discord servers and the paid rooms. If there's one thing I'd want you to take from this course beyond the technical stuff, it's that. Find your people. The knowledge is the easy part. So that's what this is. No secrets. No gatekeeping. Just what I actually use, explained as clearly as I can manage.

If you’re tradesplaining, you’re wasting your time and insulting your mate.

LOL. I'm guilty of it. I do it more to start a dialogue than to just blindly send him a cold offer with no context. I find the tradesplaining gets more feedback.

Tradesplaining (verb) - when someone makes a fantasy football trade offer and sends you a lengthy paragraph explaining why the trade will benefit you

Is comparative advantage valid in a geopolitical world? See my new Factful Factful at Linked1n 👉As The Trump Tariff Show, Season 2, is about to start, the age-old comparative advantage principle is under fire. Is the classic argument for free trade still relevant? This Factful Friday argues that comparative advantage is a guide to the efficient allocation of productive factors in a risk-free global economy. The guide is still valid, but the “risk-free” assumption has become a dangerous simplification. In any world that I can think of, considerations of economic efficiency should be part of the policy formation process. But in no world that I can think of should efficiency be the only consideration. Indeed, there have always been sectors, like farms and arms, where security was prioritized. Geopolitics has simply expanded the list of sectors that should be on the security-first list. @AdamPosen @piie @DmitryOpines @TradeExperettes @TradeDiversion @Lucian_Cernat @leemakiyama @scottlincicome @SimonEvenett @snlester @alanbeattie @SoumayaKeynes @CLMannEcon @BJavorcik @genevatrade_gtp @TradeSplaining @women_trade @PeterDraper5
