STEP 3: Trading Apprenticeship Social Agreement

This writing records what we expect of each other. This is a voluntary social commitment. It is not a legal services contract. It is not a promise of funding, a payout, a profit, or a date when this will be finished.

Program expectations.

This is an apprenticeship. I understand that this is an apprenticeship. I agree to follow Coach’s training instructions. I agree to complete the foundational and repetitive exercises, even when I do not yet see their purpose.
I will take the curriculum in order. I agree to follow the learning sequence. I will not skip steps. Coach may send a question back to the material for my current level.
I have to show it on a chart. Watching a lesson is not enough. Saying I understand is not enough. I agree to complete the required chart demonstrations and Loom submissions, and to show that I can use the software.
Access is earned. Membership gives me the opportunity to earn access. It does not give me immediate access to everything. Moving through the curriculum does not require another program payment. Trading accounts and software that I buy myself are separate. They are not included in that statement.
I will finish onboarding. I agree to complete Steps 1 and 2. I agree to leave the requested comments, post my introduction, follow the classroom instructions, and request access to Coach’s educational AI tools.
The live room is not automatic. Live-room access depends on foundational knowledge and Coach’s approval. There is no level that admits me on its own. I agree to get Coach’s confirmation before I take part as an active participant.
Paper trading comes before a prop account. I agree to show accurate entries, exits, and sizing in paper trading before I move to a prop account. Time passed is not readiness. Coach assesses the execution.
I will not buy a prop account until Coach says I am ready. While I am in this apprenticeship, I agree not to buy a prop account for use in the program without Coach’s approval. Coach decides readiness inside the program. I agree to accept a decision that says: keep training before you buy.
I will not gamble. I agree to follow the program’s risk and execution rules. I will not increase size to chase a loss. I will not buy accounts recklessly. I will not use credit to buy accounts in an attempt to recover losses. Coach will not take part in gambling behavior, and will not support it.
The aim is my own execution. Copying Coach’s trades forever is not the objective. I agree to build my own understanding and my own execution. Coach is concerned about identical trades across participants, and about prop-firm scrutiny. Being in this program does not allow me to do something a firm prohibits.
This takes time. The system can be learned. It is demanding. Independent skill may take years of practice and a large amount of chart time. I agree to study outside the live room. This agreement sets no daily hour quota and no completion date. One can be added later only if both of us accept it in writing.
Coaching follows the work. I agree to do the work and to say where I am, including the questions that matter. Coach agrees to respond and to guide me as I move through the program. Progress comes from work and demonstrated skill, not from showing up.
I am learning this system. The program teaches Coach’s DRAM777 approach. The focus is Nasdaq micro futures and practical market structure. This is not an automated trading bot. Educational AI and sizing tools help me learn and calculate. They do not do the work for me.
This teaching is not promised forever. Coach describes this teaching as an act of service. He does not expect to teach at this level forever. This agreement sets no end date, no lifetime access, and no guaranteed length of personal support. One can be added later only if both of us accept it in writing.

What is not promised. Funding, payouts, profitability, and a completion date may be named as goals. They are not results this agreement promises. Finishing the program does not create a dependable income. It does not create a deadline for paying debts. You remain responsible for your own money decisions. Coach’s approval to train, or to buy an account, is not a promise that the trading will be profitable. If a level or a paper-trading time is written in the margin, it is only a note of what was discussed. It does not admit you to the live room. It does not make you ready.

My five commitments.

Take learning seriously. I commit to treating the learning process seriously and giving it sustained attention.
Follow the process. I commit to listening to Coach and following the training process.
Give full effort. I commit to doing the work and completing the assigned exercises.
Become independent. I commit to understanding the strategy and learning to execute on my own.
Prove it in practice. I commit to applying what I learn and submitting the demonstrations required to progress.

POST THIS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW:

"I have read all 14 expectations and all five commitments. I have had the chance to ask questions. I accept them voluntarily. A change counts only if both of us accept it in writing."
