Structured tracks from zero to a working process. Lessons stay readable; deeper mechanics, provenance, contradictions, validation status, and implementation references live in the Concept Wiki. Start with Trading Core, pick your asset track, then study validation before treating any idea as edge.
Follow ordered lessons, examples, calculators, and practical interpretation.
Open Evidence for public-safe claims, caveats, sources, tested ideas, rejected hypotheses, and forward-test state.
Separate catalogued ideas from demonstrated edge using out-of-sample and forward evidence.
Asset-agnostic fundamentals: order types, risk management, expected value, position sizing, and the 8 fatal retail mistakes.
Pairs, pips, lots, leverage, spread & swap, and the session clock — everything specific to currency markets.
24/7 market structure, spot vs perpetuals, funding rates, basis, the 4-year halving cycle, and on-chain basics.
Sessions and gaps, indices vs single names, earnings, options flow (IV, max pain, gamma), and institutional positioning.
What actually drives gold (real yields, USD), COT positioning, seasonality, and futures curve basics.
Merriman cycles, lunar phases, planetary aspects, and vibrational timing (astro × Fibonacci) — with the documented backtest numbers and the peer-reviewed source.
Why most backtests lie: overfitting, multiple testing, sample size, indicator redundancy, costs, and verification rot — how this system separates edge from noise.
// suggested path
1. Trading Core → 2. your asset track → 3. Edge Validation & Statistical Traps (before you backtest anything) → 4. pick ONE strategy from the Strategy Library and backtest it properly → 5. layer Astro & Cycle Timing on top as an entry-timing filter — never as a standalone signal. The public market context referenced across these tracks is on the Markets page.
