Built to teach the market from zero.

Maxamed Aideed

Founder & Lead Instructor

“We weren’t trying to build another place that tells people how to make money in the stock market. We set out to build the trading education we would have wanted starting from zero — a room where you can ask questions, get your hands on the market, and learn how it actually works.”

— Founders Maxamed & Jamarti Aideed

  • 5+ Years in the MarketExperience in the same U.S. market the curriculum teaches you to read.
  • Learn by DoingLearn the decision, then make it yourself at your own screen using simulated capital in the live U.S. market.
  • EconomicsStudied at the University of Minnesota.
  • Accounting & Management Information SystemsStudied at Metropolitan State University.
  • FINRA SIE ExamPassed the Securities Industry Essentials exam.

Not a registered representative or investment adviser.

The goal isn’t to copy what we teach. It’s to learn how to make trading a part of your life.

The two questions we get asked most

  • “Am I going to lose money?”

    Not in class. Every trade you place here is on simulated capital — you learn the discipline in live market conditions, so none of your own money is ever in the market while you are learning.

  • “Why not just learn this free online?”

    Because a feed cannot watch your screen, and it cannot answer while the decision is still in front of you. Here the instructor is in the room, and he can.

Still unsure? That is exactly what Fridays are for — take a station, place one trade in live conditions, and decide before any money changes hands.
