What is the difference between the Professional Trading Masterclass (PTM) Video Series and the Professional FOREX Trading Masterclass Video Series?

The Professional Trading Masterclass (PTM) Video Series and Professional FOREX Trading Masterclass (PFTM) Video Series are both high level Professional Grade educational Video Series’ that are broken down into formats that are understandable to Retail Traders globally. Both courses are designed to deliver a Professional Trader level education to Retail Traders so that Retail Traders can implement and emulate the same approach as used by Professional Traders at Hedge Funds and Investment Bank Proprietary trading desks in their Retail Brokerage Trading Accounts.

The PTM Video Series covers a full Top Down Multi Asset Class Systematic generalist Framework across the four major asset classes (Equities, Currencies, Commodities, Rates) with specific focus on the Stock Market (Equities), combined with a Bottom Up overlay. The PTM Video Series is the perfect educational course for Retail Traders aiming to take the same approach as Professional Traders in their Retail Brokerage accounts and for university students seeking employment in the Hedge Fund or Proprietary Trading side of the Investment Banking Industry.

The Professional Trader approach is taught in the PTM Video Series by utilising 80% Fundamental Analysis and 20% Technical Analysis and Price Action overlay with Professional Risk Management and Trader metrics utilised. Applied Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Fundamentals are directly drawn on from the Professional Trader world, whereby the Fundamentals used are frequently handled in the reverse way to the way in which Retail Traders perceive they are used. This set of disciplines taught in the PTM Video Series also applies to Technical Analysis, Price Action and Risk Management. Many of the disciplines taught to Retail Traders relating to Fundamentals and Technicals are simply wrong and Professionals actually see and use these disciplines in totally the opposite way to the way in which Retail Traders are generally taught. The PTM Video Series deals with this in a systematic way and re-programs Retail Traders into the way of thinking of the Professional Trader to enable a much higher probability of long term consistent profitability in Financial Markets.

Graduates of the PTM Video Series have the right but not the obligation to become an Institute Trader once they have passed the exam of the PTM Video Series. The PTM Video Series is one of the pre-requisite educational courses at the Institute in order to become an Institute Trader and join the Institutes global community of highly educated Retail Traders. By taking this course and passing the exam, any Retail Trader in the world can then apply for Becoming an Institute Trader.

Many of the Institutes students globally, purchase either the PTM or the PFTM Video Series on an individual (1 Month or 12 Month Subscription Access) basis and then go on to complete the other course as and when they want to progress in doing so. Also, many of our students purchase both courses upfront (typically more so on a 12 Month Subscription basis) allowing them to complete both courses at their own pace. The structures of online course access at the Institute are designed so that students can choose the most suitable options based on their own timetable and expertise.

The PFTM Video Series is also a Top Down Multi Asset Class Systematic Framework, however unlike the PTM Video Series that provides a generalist framework and then concentrates specifically on the Stock Market (Equities), the PFTM Video Series concentrates specifically on the Currency (FOREX) markets. No Bottom Up overlay (Microeconomic) framework is required when taking a Systematic Professional Trading approach in the FOREX Markets. The PFTM Video Series teaches students exactly how Professional Traders at Hedge Funds and Investment Banks utilise Macroeconomics in order to build a robust and repeatable Systematic Framework for assessing trading opportunities specifically in the FOREX markets.
