Making Remote Trading Education Actually Work
Position trading doesn't require you to stare at screens all day. But learning it remotely? That takes some intentional setup. We've been teaching traders from Rạch Giá and across Vietnam since 2019, and we've learned what separates those who finish from those who fade out after week two.
Our next intake starts September 2025. Most participants need around eight months to feel comfortable applying position trading principles independently. That's not a promise—just what we've seen with folks who stick with the weekly rhythm.
Your Physical Space Matters More Than You'd Think
- Find a corner where you won't be interrupted during session times. Family walking through works—constant disruption doesn't.
- Two monitors help if you're comparing charts while following along, but one good screen and a tablet can work fine.
- Stable internet is non-negotiable. We stream live analysis sessions and you'll need to access historical data without constant buffering.
- Keep a physical notebook nearby. Something about writing things by hand makes pattern recognition stick better than typing ever did.
- Lighting matters for those evening sessions after work. Eye strain will kill your focus faster than anything else.
Questions We Get at Different Stages
What people actually ask changes as they move through the program
How much time should I actually block out each week?
Figure on three hours for the core sessions, plus another two to three reviewing your own analysis. Some weeks you'll spend more because something clicked and you want to dig deeper. Other weeks life happens and you'll just hit the basics. Both are fine—this isn't university with rigid deadlines.
Do I need any trading experience before starting?
Not really. We start from fundamentals. What helps more is comfort reading financial news and basic chart literacy. If you can look at a price graph and understand what it's showing over time, you're good to go.
Why does everyone keep talking about "position sizing" so much?
Because it's the thing that protects you when you're wrong. And you will be wrong—regularly. Position trading isn't about being right more often, it's about managing risk so that being wrong doesn't wreck your account. We probably sound repetitive about this because it matters that much.
Should I be taking actual positions while I'm learning?
Only with money you're genuinely okay losing while you learn. Most folks start with paper trading for the first twelve weeks. There's no shame in that—in fact, it's usually smarter. The emotional part of trading is totally different when real money is involved, but you need the mechanics down first.
What kind of ongoing support exists once the main program wraps?
You'll keep access to our monthly market review sessions indefinitely. Many graduates still join those years later just to hear different perspectives. The community chat stays open too. Position trading works better when you're not doing it in complete isolation—having others to bounce ideas off matters.
How the Learning Path Actually Unfolds
Market Structure Basics
Understanding how markets actually move, what drives longer-term trends, and why weekly charts matter more than you'd think for position work.
Focus: Trend identification, support/resistance concepts
Risk Management Frameworks
This is where most people's assumptions get challenged. We spend serious time here because getting this wrong is how accounts disappear.
Focus: Position sizing, stop placement, portfolio heat
Entry and Exit Timing
Finding spots where risk/reward makes sense for positions you might hold for weeks or months. This part takes practice—lots of it.
Focus: Technical setups, confirmation signals
Trade Management
What to do once you're in a position. How to let winners run without being stupid about it. When to cut losses before they get painful.
Focus: Trailing stops, partial exits, adjustment triggers
Psychology and Routine
The mental game is real. Building habits that keep you consistent when markets get weird or boring. Both states mess with your head differently.
Focus: Journaling, routine building, emotional awareness
Building Your System
Taking everything and shaping it into something that fits your life, risk tolerance, and personality. This is where it becomes yours, not just theory you memorized.
Focus: System design, backtesting, personal adaptation

What Actually Helps Students Finish
Consistency Beats Intensity
I've watched people try to cram everything into marathon weekend sessions. Doesn't work. The ones who finish show up for the regular weekly sessions and do a bit of chart review between them. That's it. Not glamorous, but way more effective than heroic bursts followed by three-week gaps.
Community Connection
Trading is solitary work, but learning it doesn't have to be. The students who engage in our discussion boards—asking questions, sharing their analysis even when they're not sure it's right—they progress faster. Something about articulating your thinking to others clarifies it for yourself.
Realistic Expectations
Position trading is not exciting in the day-to-day. If you're looking for the thrill of rapid-fire decisions and constant action, this approach will bore you to tears. It's for people who want market exposure without markets consuming their entire life. Set your expectations accordingly.
