“My biggest takeaway is that I now have a process I can repeat and learn from. I feel more prepared before a trade and more purposeful about reviewing it afterward.”

From knowing the process to practicing it

The chart changes.
Your decisions matter.

A candle signal can be clear. The next decision may not be. Decision Lab takes the complete trading process deeper, helping you examine the choices behind your entries, management and exits.

Bring your questions and trade ideas. Explore alternatives with the coaches, explain your reasoning, and refine the rules that guide your next decision.

Is this confirmation—or am I chasing?
Should I give the trade room or respond to a warning?
Does this exit follow my plan?
What can I learn even when the outcome disappoints?

Build on Trading Lifecycle.
Explore deeper scenarios, more detailed blueprints and deliberate review of your decisions. Prior participation in Trading Lifecycle is not required—the bonus Pre-Program Prep Video reviews the essentials so new students can get up to speed.

What we’ll work on together

Six connected parts.
Deeper decisions at every step.

Observe. Plan. Execute. Manage. Exit. Review. Each part connects to the next, so the coaching follows the whole trade.

01 / OBSERVE

Is this setup worth taking?

Read candle signals in the context of trend, support and resistance, and multiple time frames. Learn to explain why one opportunity deserves attention while another deserves a pass.

Inside the lab: Compare similar candle signals in different chart contexts. Rank the opportunities and defend your choices.

02 / PLAN

What would change your mind?

Build a blueprint that includes your entry trigger, stop, targets, position size and invalidation criteria. Prepare for gaps, delayed confirmation and an immediate reversal after entry.

Inside the lab: Pressure-test a trade plan with “if this happens, then I will…” scenarios.

03 / EXECUTE

Enter now, wait, or pass?

Weigh earlier entries, confirmed entries and pullback entries. Examine how each affects your planned risk, available reward and the possibility of missing the move.

Inside the lab: Make a decision as a chart unfolds, before the next candle is revealed.

04 / MANAGE

Is this a pullback—or a warning?

Explore what deserves a response after entry. Compare holding the original plan, adjusting a stop, taking a partial exit and closing a position when the original premise weakens.

Inside the lab: Pause at key decision points and explain your response using the evidence available then.

05 / EXIT

Does this exit fit your plan?

Compare fixed targets, trailing approaches, partial exits and exits based on a failed premise. Evaluate the reasoning behind the exit without letting later price action rewrite your judgment.

Inside the lab: Apply different exit approaches to the same example and discuss their tradeoffs.

06 / REVIEW

What should you improve next?

Separate the quality of your decision from the outcome of the trade. Use your blueprints and Journal entries to examine recurring behaviors and identify a focused area for practice.

Inside the lab: Choose one behavior to improve and define how you will track it over the next 30 days.

Flexible sessions. Complete coverage. These themes are woven throughout the six sessions, rather than assigned one per date. Charts, participant questions and trade reviews help shape the discussion.

A working session, every time

Bring your reasoning into the room.

See the decision unfold.

Work through chart examples at key moments. Consider what you know, what is uncertain and what evidence would justify your next action.

Put your blueprint to work.

Discuss entries, stops, targets and contingencies. Use coaching feedback to make your plan more specific and easier to evaluate.

Turn review into practice.

Revisit decisions and compare them with the original plan. Identify a focused adjustment you can practice and track.

A few helpful answers

Before you join.

How does this build on previous small group coaching programs?

Decision Lab builds on previous small group coaching programs with deeper scenarios, more detailed blueprints and review of the choices behind a trade. Participation in previous small group coaching programs is not a prerequisite. New students are welcome: the included bonus Pre-Program Prep Video reviews the essential concepts to help you catch up, feel comfortable and arrive ready for the first session.

Is one topic assigned to each session?

No. Each session can draw on several parts of the process. The six themes are covered across the program, with flexibility for relevant charts, participant questions and trade examples.

How can I prepare for the first session?

Both registration options include the bonus Pre-Program Prep Video. It reviews the essential concepts before the first live session, whether you’re new to our programs or would like a refresher. You do not need to have taken Trading Lifecycle. Watch the video before October 13 so you can arrive comfortable, prepared and ready to participate.

When are the sessions?

The six coaching sessions take place October 13, 15, 20, 22, 27 and 29, 2026. The bonus session is November 4, 2026. Every session runs from 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern time.

What Journal access is included?

Decision Lab includes Candlecharts Journal access through November 4, 2026. Choose Decision Lab + Lifetime Journal Access if you want lifetime access to the Journal beyond the program.

What if I already have the Candlecharts Journal?

If you already have lifetime Journal access, choose Decision Lab + Program Journal Access; you do not need to purchase lifetime access again.
