Project briefs for this course are being finalised. The capstone is described below where available.

Capstone

Documented Trading Strategy with Back-Test Data

Document a complete trading strategy — entry and exit rules, stop-loss method, position-sizing rules, market-condition filters and preferred timeframes — manually back-test it on at least 30 historical trades using bar replay on NSE data, and present the document and annotated chart examples to the batch.

Practice on AlphaSync

Coming Soon

Practice exercises in AlphaSync's simulated environment are planned for this course. Until AlphaSync is available, practice uses paper trading and the tools named in the curriculum.

Instructors

Instructor profiles are published once each instructor has approved their profile and credentials have been verified.

Assessment

Annotated chart assignments, a manual back-testing project (minimum 30 trades) and a capstone strategy presentation.

Certification

Certification details available soon.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to complete the Foundation Program first?

Strongly recommended. This course builds directly on concepts from the Foundation Program: candlestick reading, basic support/resistance and basic indicators are assumed knowledge. If you are a self-taught trader with six or more months of chart experience and you understand market structure, RSI and moving averages comfortably, you can likely join directly — but we recommend contacting us first.

What is Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and how is it different from regular TA?

Traditional technical analysis looks at patterns and indicators from a retail perspective. Smart Money Concepts looks at the same charts from an institutional perspective — where large participants placed orders and where liquidity sits. SMC is not a secret system; it is a structural, logical framework for understanding why price moves where it does.

Is this course relevant for intraday traders or just swing traders?

Both. Market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps and multi-timeframe confluence apply to intraday charts (5-minute, 15-minute) and to swing trading (daily, weekly). Concepts are taught on multiple timeframes so you can apply them to your preferred style.

How long does the back-testing exercise take?

The back-testing project (minimum 30 trades) typically takes 3–5 hours spread across two or three sessions once you understand the process. The methodology is taught in Module 6 using TradingView's bar replay feature.
