For traders who want to understand it first

Learn to trade with statistics, not opinions.

Why most strategies stop working, what a win rate really tells you, how long a losing run can get on a setup that works, and how to size a trade so that run does not end the account. Two video courses and a set of exercises that prove each idea, then the live terminal to see it in real markets.

The tourRecorded in the live terminal: the Quick start lessons, then the STS course exercises.

Most trading education sells a pattern. Very little of it teaches the arithmetic.

A strategy that wins 40% of the time can make money. One that wins 70% can lose it. A run of eight losses can be completely normal. None of that is intuitive, and all of it decides whether a trader lasts long enough to find out what works.

Win rate taken at face value

A high win rate feels safe, whatever the size of the losses.

Exercises that show why expectancy, not win rate, decides the result.
Losing runs taken personally

Five losses in a row feels like the strategy is broken.

Simulations of how long losing runs get on setups that work.
Theory with nowhere to test it

The idea makes sense on a slide and is gone by the next trade.

The same ideas on live setups, with their real record, in the terminal.

What you learn with, and where you use it.

Every lesson and every exercise is in the same terminal as the live markets.

The Quick start lesson list

Two courses, start to finish

Quick start takes you from installing MetaTrader to your first trade and your first portfolio in 15 short lessons. The STS course covers the foundations of probability and edge, then how to build an edge of your own, in 17 more.

  • Quick start: 15 lessons, about 53 minutes
  • The STS course: 17 lessons, about 87 minutes
  • Progress counts the time you actually watched
The STS course exercises, each with the one thing it proves

Prove it to yourself

Each of the course's 17 exercises says the one thing it proves and what it means when trading, with worked numbers. Then try the same idea at home with a coin, a dice, a free spreadsheet, MetaTrader or pen and paper, and generate random price charts to see how convincing pure chance can look.

  • 17 exercises, with calculations you can change
  • 17 home experiments, spreadsheet formulas included
  • A random chart generator for MT4 and MT5
Coach: four questions, then a short list of setups with their record

Then let it guide your first setups

Coach asks what you are here to do. Choose to learn first and it points you to the courses, then to one market, before anything else.

  • Four questions, one clear starting point
  • Live signals on AUDCHF and CADJPY while you learn
  • All 100 markets when you are ready

    Watch the ideas live

    Follow real signals on AUDCHF and CADJPY, with their full record.

Read this before you sign up.

  • The courses teach how to read and judge statistics. They are not financial advice and they do not tell you what to trade.
  • A free account shows live signals on AUDCHF and CADJPY to watch. It does not place trades.
  • Backtested and simulated results show what has happened or could happen, not what will. Trading carries risk and you can lose money.

Start on the free plan.

The courses, the exercises and live signals to watch are free with an account. Pay only when you want to trade at a broker of your choice.

Get funded with more
than you put in.

We have a first loss agreement with our partner broker, and it is not available anywhere else. Fund your own live account with them and they bring it up to a multiple of what you put in: 5x on the free plan, 10x on Pro, and up to 20x on Elite through the fund manager programme. Your own account, your own name, real money in the market.

What you actually trade with

Your deposit stays yours. The credit brings the same account up to the multiple.

You depositFree, 5xPro, 10xElite, up to 20x
$500$2,500$5,000$10,000
$1,000$5,000$10,000$20,000
$5,000$25,000$50,000$100,000
$10,000$50,000$100,000$200,000

Elite's is the fund manager programme, assessed rather than automatic, which is why it is written as "up to" and why it replaces the 10x rather than adding to it.

The terms

And nothing you have to do to keep it.

Nothing to pass first
No profit target
No number to hit by a date
No drawdown rule

    5x on Free, 10x on Pro, up to 20x on Elite.

  2. 02
    Fund your own account

    At the broker, in your name. STS never holds it.

  3. 03
    Trade the bigger balance

    Same signals and sizing, on the larger account.

Trading on credited capital magnifies losses as well as gains: a larger balance means a larger position for the same percentage of risk, and losses come off your own deposit first. The credit is provided by the broker under their terms, and their account agreement is the one you sign. STS is not a broker, does not hold client funds and does not provide the capital. Trading carries risk and you can lose money, including your deposit.

Questions worth asking.

Yes. Both courses and their exercises are open to every member, including the free plan, with no card.
