Membership by application

Built for people who take
capital seriously.

A sequenced curriculum, live educational review and a private community, organized around one decision process. We review every application personally, because fit matters more than fees. New to the format? Start with what a crypto Mastermind is and how it differs from a course. Every way to learn with us, from the Skool group to one-on-one time, is on our services page.

What membership includes

  • A curriculum in decision order

    Market mechanics, thesis building, position sizing, risk limits, execution and review, taught in the order decisions happen. As Chad puts it, "You can't self-graduate here."

  • Live educational sessions

    Market sessions on a published weekly schedule, with replays in the classroom when you cannot make it live.

  • Decision review

    Bring completed decision work and your own numbers. Instructors examine the reasoning and show where the protocol broke down.

  • A private community

    Members and instructors in one place, active around the clock, with open positions and reasoning shared in the open. Without a community, Chad says, trading "would be probably pretty boring... this guy with a wall of screens... that's not the reality."

  • Portfolio frameworks

    Allocation and exposure frameworks for holding long-term positions alongside active ones.

  • Security and tax education

    General education on storing crypto safely and the tax questions worth taking to your own advisor.

The four criteria

The strength of this environment is the caliber of the people inside it. We optimize for fit, not volume.

  1. 01

    You take capital seriously.

    You treat your portfolio as a business, not a hobby, and you will do the unglamorous work of position sizing, journaling and review.

  2. 02

    You value discipline over dopamine.

    You are here to operate with consistency across cycles, not for alpha calls or the rush of a green candle.

  3. 03

    You want structure, not signals.

    You are not asking what to buy. You are asking how to build a process that makes what to buy the smallest decision in the chain.

  4. 04

    You know cycles reward preparation.

    The people who compound across cycles prepared during the quiet. They did not react during the noise.

How joining works

  1. 1

    Apply

    Answer a few questions about your experience, the capital you can set aside and your available time. About two minutes.

  2. 2

    Talk it through

    A 30-minute conversation to confirm the program fits your goals, schedule, location and platform access. If it does not, we say so.

  3. 3

    Onboarding

    An onboarding call, account setup and a first-week checklist, so you start the curriculum in the right order. Chad has a name for skipping ahead. Stage 2.5 is "a $20,000 trading account" that wants to "go full tilt, day one," on the position-size slider, sizing "willy-nilly." In his words, "We've experienced this many, many times, even in this Mastermind."

  4. 4

    First session

    Join your first live session and begin with market mechanics, the first step of the sequence.

What it costs

Membership pricing and program terms are covered when you apply for the Mastermind and talk with our team, after we confirm the program fits your situation. You will get the full picture, including what participation requires, before you decide anything.

This Program Is Deliberately Not For Everyone

It is not a fit if:

  • You need guaranteed profits.
  • You plan to invest rent money, emergency savings, or borrowed funds.
  • You want somebody else to make every decision for you.
  • You cannot accept losses as a possible part of investing.
  • You are looking for a passive investment product.

It may be a fit if:

  • You are a working professional or business owner with capital separate from tuition and living expenses.
  • You understand that crypto and leverage involve real risk.
  • You want education and feedback, not an income promise.
  • You can make time to study, practice, journal, and attend live sessions.
  • You take personal responsibility for your decisions and your results.

Membership questions

  • Yes. Many members join with no experience in crypto or trading at all, and starting fresh has an advantage: there are no bad habits to unlearn. The curriculum runs from basic to intermediate to advanced, and our coaches run eight live sessions a week, so you can watch decisions being made and ask questions as they happen.

  • It can be. If you already understand support and resistance, profit targets and basic risk management, the value is in structure: one consistent process for entries and exits, live sessions where coaches explain their reasoning as they make decisions, and a community that reviews your decisions with you. When you apply for the Mastermind, we look at where you are and tell you straight whether the program adds enough for you.

  • Platforms let you open a position with very little, so there is no hard minimum. What matters is that the capital sits apart from living expenses, emergency savings and debt, so a loss never touches the essentials. Niko's rule of thumb is to start with $1,000 to $2,500 and to risk only a small slice on any one position, usually 1% to 2%. On a $2,000 account that means a position should lose no more than $20 to $40 before the stop loss closes it. If you would need money you cannot afford to lose, the program is not a fit yet.

  • Plan on more time during setup and your first weeks. After that, most members spend a few focused hours a week across live sessions, the curriculum and their journal. Live sessions are recorded, so you can catch up on replays.

  • How to read a chart from the ground up (candlesticks, timeframes, support and resistance), how to take long and short positions, where to place a stop loss and profit targets, how to size a position and choose leverage inside a defined loss boundary, and how to review every decision in a journal. Once the process is in place, you shape your own style around your schedule and temperament.

  • No. Leverage is taught as a tool with rules, used inside a defined loss boundary and a sized position. Whether and how you use it is your decision. Leverage carries real risk, including liquidation that can happen quickly.

  • We teach by showing. Coaches run eight live sessions a week, including live trading Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon ET, and explain each decision while they make it, and you can ask questions in the moment. Between sessions there is a step-by-step training library from basic to advanced, recordings of every live call, and a member chat that is active around the clock. Niko has studied markets for close to two decades, starting with formal stock market training long before crypto futures existed, and the curriculum follows how he learned: structure first, then repetition.

  • No. We never manage positions or capital on your behalf, and we will never ask you to send us crypto. You keep full control of your own accounts and make your own decisions.

  • Pricing and program terms are covered when you apply for the Mastermind and talk with our team, once we have confirmed the program fits your goals, schedule and location. You get the full picture, including the price, the payment options and what participation requires, before you decide anything. The call itself is free and there is no obligation to join.

  • Membership is offered after you apply for the Mastermind and speak with our team, so you know what the program includes and what it costs before you pay. Access to lessons, live sessions and the community starts as soon as payment clears. You can request a refund within 5 days of your purchase, unless your enrollment agreement states different terms. After that, sales are final, except for billing errors and where the law requires otherwise. Refund decisions never depend on trading results. The full policy is on our refund policy page.

  • If your purchase renews, you can cancel future renewals at any time before the next billing date. Canceling stops future charges and does not refund the current period. If you chose a payment plan, each installment is part of the total price agreed at checkout, so stopping payment does not cancel the remaining balance. Contact us through the contact page with any billing question before disputing a charge.

  • Coaches do share their own trades and positions, with the entry price, stop loss and take profit, and explain the reasoning behind each one. But we do not want members copying them blindly. We encourage every member to build their own thesis, size their own positions and manage their own risk, so they are in the driver's seat rather than relying on someone else's calls. If all you want is signals to copy, this program is not for you.
