Three foundations of an honest curriculum.
Foundations
Markets, Mechanics & Microstructure

Execution
Practical API Trading with alpaca markets
A hands-on path through paper-trading workflows on the alpaca markets API — from authentication through reconciliation.
Risk
Position Sizing & Drawdown Control
The risk module every self-taught trader skips — and shouldn't. Real frameworks, no clichés.
Student Voices
What our students take away.
★★★★★
"Qferri taught me to think in process, not outcomes. The simulations against live data made the lessons stick in a way no book ever did."
Ethan Caldwell
Software Engineer, San Francisco
★★★★★
"The mentor sessions are the difference. They watched me trade for a quarter and gave me actionable feedback that ended my biggest losing pattern."
Madeline Voss
Data Scientist, Seattle
★★★★★
"The alpaca login walkthrough alone was worth the course. Two hours and my API workflow went from broken to dependable."
Jordan Reyes
Independent Trader, Austin
★★★★★
"This is the first course I have completed end-to-end. The structure does the work — you just have to show up consistently."
