SYLLABUS
Master in Trading​

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Master in Trading Course is a comprehensive and highly personalized (i.e., private) course which provides you with the skills and knowledge to trade with confidence in an any market, in any time frame: day trading, swing and positional. You will develop a highly structured trading method that is designed for your specific trading objectives, aptitudes and schedule. 
 
You will acquire a deep understanding of the factors that move markets on a technical and macro fundamental basis, and learn what professional traders look for – which is beyond technical indicators and standard ‘book’ knowledge. You will learn how and when institutional traders move markets, how they shake out amateurs, and how they “read the tape”. In brief, you will learn the tricks of the trade and acquire a practicable method of managing your capital. You will see how, where, and when to place trades and set profit targets and stops and see how these methods work through back testing. Much of what you learn will be counter-intuitive; that is, you will see why generally accepted trading ideas do not work when subject to significant back testing! 
 
You will learn how to use market profile, volume profile, and order flow. You will learn how to distinguish between legitimate high probability chart patterns and dubious ones. You will learn to assess when markets are likely to trend or range; retrace, or breakout. You will learn which levels are most likely to hold and intuit where market phenomena such as short squeezes, short covering and long capitulation are likely to occur. You will also gain a deeper understanding of your own trading personality and develop and execute a trading method that is grounded in tried and true risk management principles. 
 
*This course is customizable: the modules in this syllabus are subject to change according to a student’s needs and current level of knowledge. 

Key ‘takeaways’ and topics to be covered in this course:
  • Understand financial market movements from the perspective of classical physics and human psychology as you develop an intuition for developing chart patterns
  • Learn high probability technical (chart) trade setups in futures and forex and understand ideal entry and exit points for a variety of market products

FEEDBACK ON ADAM JAGIELLOWICZ

Marco Ruiz
"In 2016, I took a Master in Trading course with Adam Jagiellowicz. He explained all the aspects of trading fundamentally and technically, making emphasis on Market Profile, price action and trading patterns. Adam made sure I understood all the subjects he explained, and to help me make continuous progress on my trading abilities, he continued to help me after the course. The market understanding and knowledge I got after the program is priceless and is something no school or university will provide"
