LINEMAN NEW TRADER PROGRAM
30-Day Structured Bootcamp
2 Lessons Per Week | 8 Total Lessons

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
This program is designed to compress years of trial-and-error into a structured framework.
We are fast-tracking students through the most important parts of trading:
• How markets actually move
• Where institutions operate
• When to trade
• When NOT to trade
• How to protect capital
• How to remove emotion
This does not mean fast profits. It means fewer mistakes, less randomness, and faster clarity.
We give the map. The student must walk the terrain.

WEEK 1 — FOUNDATIONS (NO TRADING)
LESSON 1 — FOUNDATIONS & FAST-TRACK FRAME
(Week 1, Lesson 1)
Objective
Install the correct mental model of trading and set expectations for the program.
Opening: Why This Program Exists
Most traders waste years learning the wrong things.
They chase indicators. They chase signals. They chase YouTube strategies.
They learn by losing money.
This program exists to remove all of that.
We are fast-tracking you through the most important parts of trading — not by skipping work, but by skipping mistakes.
If applied correctly, this program can shave years off your trading journey. Not because it’s easy — but because it’s complete.
Fast-tracked knowledge does not mean fast profits.
You will still need:
• Discipline
• Repetition
• Emotional control
• Patience
What Trading Actually Is
Trading is:
• Rule execution
• Risk management
• Probability
• Process
Trading is not:
• Prediction
• Gambling
• Feelings
• Ego
We are not here to guess direction. We execute rules at locations.
How Markets Actually Move
1. Institutions move price
2. Liquidity must be taken
3. Price seeks inefficiencies
4. Retail reacts late
Core Principle: Price moves to locations. Indicators react to price.
Candlestick Reality
A candle is a battle report.
• Open → where the fight starts
• High → where buyers failed
• Low → where sellers failed
• Close → who won
If you cannot read a candle, you are blind on a chart.
Why Most Traders Fail
They:
• Trade without rules
• Overtrade
• Revenge trade
• Chase signals
• Ignore risk
Your problem is not entries. It’s discipline and randomness.
Homework (NO TRADING)
• Create TradingView account
• Join Discord
• Replay 5 days of charts
• Identify liquidity sweeps and candle strength

LESSON 2 — CAPITAL, RISK & PROP STRUCTURE
(Week 1, Lesson 2)
Objective
Remove emotional capital pressure and introduce structured risk.
Why We Do Not Trade Personal Capital
Personal capital creates emotional decisions.
Prop firms create:
• Structure
• Guardrails
• Enforced discipline
Key Principle: We are not trying to get rich fast. We are trying to stay funded.
Prop Firm Mechanics
• Evaluation → prove consistency
• Daily loss limit → protect behavior
• Max drawdown → protect account
• Consistency rules → protect psychology
One emotional day can reset weeks of work.
Discipline Over Win Rate
Trader A: 40% win rate, disciplined → survives Trader B: 70% win rate, emotional → blown accounts
Survival beats ego.
Homework
• Install NinjaTrader
• Create demo account
• Log into TradingView daily (observe only)

WEEK 2 — STRUCTURE & SYSTEM
LESSON 3 — FLB STRUCTURE & INSTITUTIONAL LADDER
(Week 2, Lesson 1)
Objective
Teach where institutions operate and where price is drawn.
What FLB Actually Maps
FLB is NOT signals.
FLB maps:
• Institutional zones
• End Caps
• Structural decision points
We trade location, not indicators.
End Caps
End Cap = institutional boundary where price must decide.
Outcomes:
• Reaction
• Break
• Chop
Our job is not to guess — our job is to wait for confirmation.
Institutional Ladder
Institutional Ladder zones are liquidity magnets.
Price seeks:
• Opposing liquidity
• Ladder zones
• Structural magnets
We target ladder liquidity — not random ticks.
Homework
• Mark End Caps on 10 days
• Identify ladder targets on replay

LESSON 4 — THE 15M / 4H CROSS MODEL
(Week 2, Lesson 2)
Objective
Introduce the structural condition for the 10 / 2 operations.
Structural Compression
The 15-minute zone must cross through the 4-hour zone.
This creates:
• Structural tension
• Liquidity compression
• Decision points
No cross = no setup.
The Trap
After the cross, we wait.
• Bull trap → break above, fail, close back inside
• Bear trap → break below, fail, close back inside
Liquidity must be taken first.
No trap = no trade.
Momentum Entry
Entry occurs on:
• Strong commitment candle
• Direction aligned with trap failure
We enter on commitment — not curiosity.
Homework
• Replay 20 cross + trap examples
• No live trading

WEEK 3 — OPERATIONAL WINDOWS
LESSON 5 — 10AM & 2PM STRUCTURED OPERATIONS
(Week 3, Lesson 1)
Objective
Teach execution during NY liquidity windows.
Operational Windows
• 10:00 AM EST
• 2:00 PM EST
We do not trade because it’s 10 or 2. We trade only if structure aligns.
Full Trade Formula
1. 4H structure
2. 15m cross
3. Trap
4. Momentum
5. Institutional Ladder target
If one piece is missing → flat.
Rules
• One attempt per window
• After a win → stop
• After a loss → stop

LESSON 6 — 6PM & 10PM SESSION ROTATIONS
(Week 3, Lesson 2)
Objective
Introduce overnight and session transitions.
Evening Windows
• 6:00 PM EST (session reset)
• 10:00 PM EST (international rotation)
Lower volatility. More patience is required.
Same structure rules apply.
Flat is a position.

WEEK 4 — RISK, PSYCHOLOGY & EXECUTION
LESSON 7 — RISK, SIZING & PSYCHOLOGY
(Week 4, Lesson 1)
Objective
Prevent account resets caused by emotion.
Overtrading & Oversizing
Accounts blow up from:
• Too many trades
• Too much size
• Emotional decisions
Teaching Line: You don’t blow accounts because you’re wrong. You blow accounts because you’re oversized.
Position Sizing Rules
• Month 1: 1 contract only
• No size increase after wins or losses
• Size increases only after consistency
Trade the Chart, Not the Dollar Amount
Trading P&L causes:
• Fear
• Greed
• Rule breaking
We trade structure, not money.
Daily goal = rule adherence. Not profit targets.

LESSON 8 — GRADUATION & 90-DAY PLAN
(Week 4, Lesson 2)
Common Failure Points
• Trading outside windows
• Ignoring structure
• Oversizing
• Chasing P&L
90-Day Plan
Month 1: 10AM only
Month 2: Add 2PM
Month 3: Selective 6PM / 10PM
Final Message
By the end of this program, you know:
• When to trade
• Where to trade
• What to target
• When to do nothing
Most traders never learn that last one.
