Developed in partnership with renowned NYSE trader Peter Tuchman and professional trader David Green!
This exclusive program goes far beyond theory. Students learn how real traders think, analyze markets, and make decisions under pressure—then apply those skills themselves.
Core trading fundamentals include:
- Market vocabulary
- Chart reading
- Futures mechanics
- The curriculum progresses into technical analysis, risk management, and proven trading strategies for any market condition.
Each participant household will receive access to an APEX Trader Funding evaluation account—a leading futures prop trading firm with a model built for newer traders. Rather than risk your own capital, you complete an evaluation and, if you pass, trade with APEX's money — keeping the profits.
