02 / CONTINUING MEMBERSHIP

Weekly market study.
A monthly founder session.

GUS and ROXY lead the weekly live format. James joins once a month. Beginners, intermediate and advanced learners can share the conversation.

Knowledge level and membership tier are different. Attendance and replay access depend on the final benefit matrix.

Explore the live format

Later programs are optional, separately priced stages with their own scope. Existing annual membership prices cover 12 months of membership; they are not the price of this eight-week program.

A pathway,
not a video dump.

Each planned lesson connects a learning objective to an explanation, example, knowledge check and practice task. Progress should reflect understanding, not simply time spent watching.

Futures and options branch after shared foundations. E-mini education is optional; a larger contract is never a promotion or a requirement for studying options.
