    Who we are

    Institutional expertise, taught one person at a time.

    We give serious investors the knowledge, strategies and discipline that professional hedge fund managers use — without asking them to hand their capital to someone else.

    The difference is structural. Most of our compensation comes from a share of the profits you realize on your own trades. If you don’t make money, neither do we.

    Meet the founder

    Joshua Brown

    Former hedge fund owner and manager. Professional equity and options day trader who has navigated bull markets, bear markets, crashes and recoveries — and built proprietary strategies through all of them.

    I realized the greatest impact I could make wasn’t managing other people’s money — it was teaching them to manage their own with the same strategies professionals use.
    Joshua Brown, Founder

    Why education

    After years of managing institutional capital, Josh moved to the side of the table where the knowledge transfers — and stays with you.

    Jacksonville roots

    Born and raised here. Committed to bringing Wall Street–caliber education to investors nationwide while keeping deep ties to the local community.

    Professional journey

    From running a fund to teaching the next generation of sophisticated investors, every relationship draws on two decades of real desk experience.

    Why it works

    Four pillars, taught as one connected system.

    Most investors learn one lens and trade blind through the others. The curriculum covers every angle of market analysis, then teaches you how they inform each other.

    Technical Analysis Mastery

    Reading what price and volume are actually telling you.

    • Chart pattern recognition and interpretation
    • Indicator systems — RSI, MACD, moving averages, volume analysis
    • Support and resistance identification, and the strategies built on them
    • Entry and exit timing optimization
    • Risk management through technical signals

    Fundamental Analysis Deep Dive

    Knowing what a business is worth before you take a position in it.

    • Financial statement analysis — 10-K and 10-Q mastery
    • Valuation methodologies — DCF, P/E ratios, comparative analysis
    • Earnings report interpretation and the strategies around them
    • Sector and industry analysis
    • Balance sheet health assessment

    Qualitative Analysis

    The parts of a company that never show up in the numbers.

    • Management quality evaluation
    • Competitive advantage assessment — identifying real moats
    • Industry positioning and market share analysis
    • Brand strength and customer loyalty metrics
    • Corporate governance and leadership evaluation

    Macro Analysis & Market Context

    The tide that moves every position you hold.

    • Federal Reserve policy interpretation and its trading implications
    • Economic indicator analysis — GDP, unemployment, inflation
    • Interest rate environments and sector rotation strategies
    • Global market interconnections and currency impacts
    • Geopolitical events and how markets actually react to them
    Options trading strategies

    Where precision pays the most.

    Options reward preparation and punish guesswork. We work the mechanics until the Greeks stop being vocabulary and start being a decision framework you can run under pressure.

    Who we take on

    We work with a narrow group, on purpose.

    Our performance-based model means we only succeed when you succeed. These four standards make sure you have the foundation, resources and temperament to implement sophisticated strategies effectively.
