About this course

This is where you stop thinking like retail and start thinking like the money that actually moves the market. Course Five shows how institutions deploy capital and why size forces them to trade differently from you. It introduces liquidity, the fuel behind every major move, then covers the order types that execute it and how volume reveals where real participation sits. Four modules that change how you see every candle from here on.
