How Our Training Process Creates Consistent, Profitable Traders
Anyone can learn a strategy. But turning that strategy into consistent profits takes more than knowledge—it takes a structured process, guided practice, and real accountability.
That’s exactly what our coaching system delivers.
We don’t teach shortcuts—we train professionals. Our process is inspired by the ancient Japanese learning model Shu-Ha-Ri—a framework for progressing from student to master, used by elite martial artists, craftsmen, and now… traders.
The 3 Phases of the 0-DTE Training Journey
Phase 1: Shu (Foundations)
Weeks 1–6
You start with a beginner’s mindset. That means you don’t improvise—you follow the routine, trust the system, and absorb the fundamentals.
Your focus:
- Understanding the philosophy: asymmetric risk-to-reward, capital preservation, and process over outcome.
- Learning the basics of Volume Profile, VIX, and Butterfly trade structure.
- Building your daily and weekly routine.
- Practicing structured paper trading to build confidence without risk.
- Logging trades, journaling thoughts, and developing discipline.
This is the most important phase. Everything starts with the routine.
Phase 2: Ha (Competence)
Ongoing Weeks
Here, you begin to make the process your own.
You:
- Start recognizing patterns in volatility and price behavior.
- Develop your personal trade setups and hypothesis framework.
- Refine your risk management and adjustment skills.
- Strengthen your journaling and retrospective process.
- Start stacking wins—not just in P&L, but in self-awareness, discipline, and decision-making.
You’re no longer copying—you’re thinking critically and adjusting with intent.
Phase 3: Ri (Mastery)
Ongoing and Evolving
Mastery isn’t about perfection—it’s about independence.
At this point, you:
- Trade consistently, using size and structure appropriate to the volatility regime.
- Manage your own playbook of strategies.
- Participate in the community as a leader and example.
- Continue refining, optimizing, and teaching what you’ve learned.
- Understand that your greatest edge is now your mindset, process, and patience.
This is where you become antifragile—where market chaos becomes your opportunity.
The Daily & Weekly Routine (What You’ll Actually Do)
Daily Routine

- Execute (paper or live): Manage your trade through the day.
- Log & Journal: Record every step—what worked, what didn’t, what you’ll do tomorrow.

- Playbook Development: Start identifying repeatable setups. Note adjustments for each volatility condition.
- Live Q&A & Coaching Calls: Join sessions with Coach Ernie and your peers to get feedback, solve problems, and improve faster.
The Power of Community & Coaching
This is not a lonely path. You’ll be surrounded by:
- A tight-knit trading floor in Discord where members help each other grow.
- Regular Zoom coaching sessions to dive deep into strategy, mindset, and market structure.
- Direct access to Coach Ernie—ask questions, get clarity, stay accountable.
Our most successful traders are the ones who engage consistently—because consistency compounds.
