Frequently asked questions
Joining courses.
Trade Speakeasy courses will start every quarter with a limited number of spaces available, this will allow students to start each course with a group of like minded students and form smaller strategy groups to discuss individual trade plans, strategies, market observations, and the like.
How much time will it take?
Each course has an open syllabus which includes the number of currently available videos, though every group will have ever expanding course material and learning materials. Trading is not a static skill, though you can become a proficient trader with strong trade management and few of you prefered strategies, it is advisable that traders remain flexible to changing markets. Therefore the course material will be always expanding with new data as changes occure that are relevant to the skills of the individual courses.
Each course takes 2-3 months and is supported with a weekly Q/A Zoom calls for current students; and we recommend at least 2 month of simulated trading before trading live.

What's different with Trade Speakeasy?
All of traders began trading with small accounts, and all of our trader maintain 1 small personal account to make sure we are offering relevant market data for those who are trading more conservative or risky, or those who’s smaller accounts may cause them to sense market changes and volatility more poignantly than those with larger accounts.
We are traders who believe it is not necessary to blow through accounts or capital while learning, we teach robust risk management strategies so that our traders can avoid the ‘right of passage’. Sound risk management for the newer or more long term trader should be sound management skills for all.
All of our teachers have been successful traders while working full time, and having young children and families to care for. Our strategies are not developed so your computer is glued to your side, we offer a diversity of trading systems that fit around you schedule. Some more profitable than others, but strategies that protect the home life balance that is often ignored by many trading systems.
