There was a time when technical indicators dominated trading. Then came indicator combinations, new charting methods, and the rise of pure price action.
The tools changed. The deeper challenge remained: how to transform a market observation into a robust trading methodology.
This live sample Master’s class offers a direct look inside ITI’s Master’s in Trading program, where market observation becomes the foundation for structured analysis, testable hypotheses, edge evaluation, and practical execution planning.
Led by Gonçalo Moreira, CMT, lead faculty for the Market Structures & Trading Mechanics course, the class uses a real strategy as a case study to walk through the research process: from market observation and hypothesis generation to validation, operational rules, and finally a trading plan.
You’ll Learn:
- How professional traders move from market observation to structured trading ideas.
- Where trading ideas can emerge across market structure, liquidity, volatility, positioning, macro themes, intermarket relationships, cycles, seasonality, and participant behavior.
- How recurring market behavior can be framed as a conditional, testable hypothesis.
- What evidence is needed before a trading idea can be considered a potential edge.
- How repeatability, asymmetry, robustness, risk, execution constraints, and market conditions shape edge evaluation.
- How a trading methodology differs from a trading plan.
- What belongs in a professional trading plan, including setup logic, trigger, invalidation, risk model, execution protocol, and review process.
Who This Master’s Class Is For
This class is for serious traders, active market participants, and prospective Master’s in Trading students who want to experience ITI’s teaching approach before the next cohort begins in October 2026.
It is especially relevant for traders seeking a more structured way to evaluate opportunity, develop evidence-based trading ideas, and connect analysis to execution, risk management, and review.
