The free trading school · since 2011

Fifteen years of trading education. Now free.

Know your entry, stop and target before you click. That's what the AIMS Academy teaches — one rulebook for structure, entry and exit, taught in the same chat room since 2011. All 11 courses are now free for everyone — and the rulebook works on whatever platform you already trade. No card, no trial clock — and the reason it's free is right below.

SCANNING…
The obvious question

Why would fifteen years of education be free?

In 2009, ten traders — burned by one "guaranteed" system after another — stopped buying promises and started writing rules. Those rules became AIMS, and we've taught them in the same chat room since 2011.

Traders have paid up to $497 for this material. As of this year, it's free — all of it.

The honest reason

Our business isn't selling courses — it's the indicators and automation that run the method on your charts. We'd rather you learn the rules first, for nothing, and only pay if you want the tools that draw them for you. A trader who understands the method keeps the tools; one who doesn't, refunds them.

Free education isn't charity. It's the most honest sales funnel we could build — and we'd rather tell you that than have you wonder.

The problem

Your chart isn't missing an indicator. It's drowning in opinions.

Drag the slider. Same market, same candles. Left: the terminal most traders actually run — five overlays and two subwindows all shouting. Right: the AIMS chart — the wave count, one signal, entry, stop and targets. Nothing else.

INDICATOR SOUP THE AIMS METHOD
The AIMS method

One rulebook. Three steps. No opinions.

1

Read the market's shape

Markets move in impulses and pauses. AIMS maps that structure — the box, the wave — so you know whether the market is trending, resting, or turning before you think about a trade.

2

Enter with the trend

A signal is a shallow pullback with the trend — never a top or bottom call. The rules say exactly which bar qualifies, or the indicator draws it for you.

3

Know your exit first

Stop under the signal. Targets measured in R. You know what you're risking and what you're aiming for before you click — every trade, same rules.

Why "Banana"? Traders in our chat room started calling the curved pullback pattern the banana years ago — the name stuck, so we kept it. An in-joke that became a product line. The rules underneath are serious.

Read this before you sign up

Most retail traders lose money. That includes people who buy tools.

Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs — that range comes from the risk warnings regulated brokers are required to publish. A rulebook does not change that on its own. What it changes is why you lose: rule-following losses are tuition. Random losses are just losses.

The most dangerous belief in trading is “I’ll know when to step in.” Under pressure, judgement degrades — and the impairment hides itself, so you feel most certain at exactly the moment your judgement is worst. That isn’t a discipline problem you can willpower away; it’s why the rules have to live outside your head. It’s also why the education is free — you should know all of this before anyone asks you for money.

Before you ask

Straight answers

Is the Academy really free?
Yes — a free account, permanently, no card. The "why free" section above is the honest answer to why: we make our money on the optional tools, not the education.
Do I need to buy anything to use it?
No. The method is fully teachable on a bare chart — every rule works with nothing installed. The paid tools draw the rules for you; they don't unlock them.
Will this make me profitable?
No one can promise that, and anyone who does is selling you something. What we can promise: clear rules, published losing streaks, and fifteen years of teaching the same method.
Do the AIMS indicators repaint?
No. Signals evaluate on a confirmed close — what printed stays printed.
Which platforms do I need?
MT4, MT5 and TradingView are all supported; each tool's page lists exactly which. The Academy itself needs nothing but a browser.
What happens after I sign up?
You land in the Academy at lesson one. Start there — the path orders everything else, and the community is one click away.
