Lesson preview

My idea is invalid if ______ happens, because it would show ______.
01
Name the structural condition, not a feeling.
02
Place the decision on the same time horizon as the thesis.

Academy questions
Before you begin
Do I need trading experience?
No. The Foundation path begins with market mechanics and vocabulary. Experienced learners can use the diagnostic to start later in the sequence.
Does SEG provide trade signals?
No. SEG teaches research and decision frameworks. It does not tell members what to buy or sell and does not guarantee outcomes.
How quickly should I complete the curriculum?
The material is self-paced. Progress is better measured by your ability to produce and review a complete plan than by lesson count.
Can I use the materials in Chinese and English?
Yes. Core site and learning content are designed for both languages, with terminology kept consistent across versions.
Begin with a stronger question.
Not 'What will price do?' but 'What evidence would justify my decision?'
