When I First Found Trading…

I thought: “Okay, I’ll learn the basics, watch some charts, and figure this out.”

Instead… I got smacked in the face with so much freaking lingo.

Liquidity voids. Order blocks. Mitigation zones. Buy-side/sell-side imbalance.

(Seriously, do these people get paid by the syllable?)

And honestly? It turned me off.


Why the Lingo Was a Problem

So listen, I’m smart. You’re smart.

But being smart doesn’t mean we want to memorize a finance dictionary just to read a chart.

Most of the trading world feels like it was built by (and for) trader bros and finance pros. People who love flexing how complicated they can make things sound.


That’s not me.

Who I Write For

When I started building my system, I thought about two people:

My almost 80-year-old dad

My 15-year-old nephew

If I can explain the dealer cycle forex traders use in a way that both of them get it… then anyone can.

Because trading shouldn’t be about who can sound the fanciest — it should be about who can recognize what’s happening on the chart and act on it.


Pattern Recognition: The Box Trick

That’s why I built my teaching around one thing: pattern recognition.

Because no one needs more theory.


If you can draw a box, you can trade with us.

We literally box the dealers’ moves — Trap, Move, Anchor.

We box the patterns — M’s, W’s, continuations.

We box the sessions, the ranges, the zones.

Once you see it? You can’t unsee it.

Suddenly the market stops feeling like chaos and starts looking like a game you actually know the rules to.

And hey, if you want to geek out on theory later? We’re here for it. But it’s a lot more fun once you already see the cycle behind the charts.


Look Closer- It's kinda simple

ABC…123…over and over again.

That’s all the dealer cycle really is: a repeating structure. Reset → Markup → Distribution → Markdown.

The “secret” isn’t complicated vocabulary.The secret is seeing the pattern.


The Point Is…

The lingo almost made me walk away.

So I decided to build a system where normal people — teachers, parents, retirees, teenagers — can learn to trade without needing a finance degree.

Because trading isn’t about flexing vocabulary.

It’s about spotting the cycle, recognizing the pattern, and taking your trade.

And if you can draw a box… you can do that.
