The curriculum map
The subject areas the Academy teaches.
These are the disciplines the ValorEdge curriculum is built around, from market foundations through portfolio construction. Market Ready covers the foundational ground across its 20 modules; the deeper tracks below are being developed as standalone courses, and members receive 10% off each one as it is released.
Technical Frameworks
Trend, key levels, volume behavior, and confirmation — a disciplined way to read a chart and plan scenarios without overloading it.
Risk & Position Sizing
Risk units, invalidation, drawdown math, and review — the habits that preserve capital and let conviction compound over time.
Trading Psychology
Decision discipline, journaling, and emotional control — building the repeatable personal operating system that separates traders from gamblers.
Options & Derivatives
Contracts, the greeks, defined-risk structures, and hedging logic — leverage understood as a tool, with its risks treated with respect.
Portfolio Construction
Allocation, correlation, and position management at the book level — thinking like a portfolio, not a sequence of isolated trades.
Before you choose
Questions about the courses.
How many courses are there?
One is available today: Market Ready, a 20-module beginner course covering investing, trading, analysis, risk management and portfolio building. Further courses are in development, and members receive 10% off every course released after their enrolment.
Which course should I start with?
Market Ready. It assumes no prior experience and begins with how a market works before moving into analysis, risk and portfolio construction — the right entry point whether you are new or filling gaps in self-taught knowledge.
Are the courses self-paced?
Yes. Self-paced video lessons with a quiz at the end of every module. Access is for life, including future updates, so you set your own timeline and can revisit any module whenever you need to.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Reaching the completion standard on the module quizzes issues a verifiable certificate of completion from ValorEdge Academy, and lessons remain open for review afterwards.
Is the certificate accredited?
No, and we would rather be plain about it. ValorEdge issues a certificate of completion confirming you finished the course and met the quiz standard. It is not a degree, carries no academic credit, and is not a professional licence or a qualification to work in the financial industry. It is for people learning to trade their own accounts.
How much do the courses cost?
Market Ready is $297, one time, with no subscription — including every future update plus free Practice Desk access, weekly live sessions, daily market commentary and monthly newsletters. Full details on the course page.
