About This Course
The Director is the flagship institutional trading masterclass in the School of Forex curriculum. It transitions you from classical retail charting to the precision frameworks used by institutional order desks and algorithmic market makers. You will see every candle not as random movement, but as a deliberate delivery of price to liquidity.
This 15-lesson comprehensive course covers the complete Smart Money Concepts and ICT framework: Market Structure, Liquidity Sweeps, Order Blocks, FVGs, Premium vs Discount OTE, Inducement (IDM), Breakers & Mitigation Blocks, Power of Three (AMD), Kill Zones, SMT Divergence, and Judas Swings. The final integration lesson binds these into a high-probability trading blueprint.
