Two weeks to learn the auction from the inside.
Ten sessions with Charles on how markets actually move, how to read the two-way auction, and how to keep your own psychology from wrecking the trade. Entry level to advanced. No signals, no easy system, no nonsense.
- Ten 4-hour live sessions over two weeks
- 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET, weekdays
- Every session recorded, yours for a year
- Live Q&A, and optional one-on-one coaching
- Attendance capped to keep the room useful
You watched me read the auction live. This is where I teach you to do it yourself.
On the streams you see the read happen in real time: where the market is doing business, where it isn’t, what I’m watching for next. What you don’t see is the framework underneath it, the one that makes the read repeatable instead of lucky.
That framework is the whole workshop. Two weeks, in a room small enough that I can answer your actual questions, building the same process I run every morning.
There is no easy in trading. There is simple.
New traders are sold a lie: that somewhere out there is an easy system that beats the market. There isn’t. Like a pro athlete, a trader has to build a real skill and then perform it at a high level every single day the market is open. This workshop is the education and the coaching to get you doing that: not a shortcut past the work, a straighter path through it.
An immersive look at the market, and at yourself.
Six things you leave with, none of which is a magic indicator.
Read the auction
Interpret the market’s continuous two-way auction: who is in control, where business is being done, and when that is changing.
Hone your intuition
Learn which information to use for what, and when. The judgment that turns a chart full of data into a read.
Understand yourself
Make your psychology work for you instead of against you. The part of trading that decides whether the rest matters.
Manage risk
Protect yourself from the drawdowns that end trading careers. Staying in the game is the whole game.
Think in probabilities
Trade a repeatable, systematic process instead of a running argument with your own emotions.
Know the market’s habits
Tell common market behavior apart from genuine anomalies, and know which one you are looking at in real time.
Have a day job? You can still do this.
Four hours a day for two weeks is a lot if you work regular hours. Here is the part the emails always ask about: you do not have to be there live. Most students take some or all of it on the recordings.
Every session recorded
All ten sessions are recorded and posted for you to watch whenever you can. Miss one live, or miss all ten, and you miss nothing.
Yours for a full year
The replays stay available for a year. Rewatch the hard parts, and come back to them after you have traded the ideas yourself.
Built around real schedules
Plenty of students work full time and take the whole thing on replay. I read out every question and answer it on camera, so you hear all of it in the recording.
Attend live for the real-time Q&A and the coaching if you can. If you can’t, the workshop still works. That is the honest answer, and it is why the replay access exists.
What we cover, in order.
Built from the tools up to the mindset that runs them. You do not need to attend live: every session is recorded and yours to rewatch for a year.
The tools
How to actually read the auction profile, Bookmap order flow, and market internals. The instruments before the music.
The path to profitability
The real, unglamorous road a trader travels from day one to consistency. What the milestones are, and how long they take.
The two-way auction
Making sense of why the market moves, through the lens of longer-term investing and swing trading first.
Weakness, trends, and rotation
Reading the two-way auction on an intraday timeframe, for scalpers and day traders.
Thinking in probabilities
Retraining the brain to trade a calculated, repeatable system instead of reacting with emotion.
Gamma exposure and Charles’ setups
The actual intraday setups Charles trades in futures and options: how he finds them, enters, sets stops, and takes profit, plus how he uses gamma exposure. (SpotGamma is an affiliate partner; that is disclosed on every mention.)
Developing edge
Telling a technical problem apart from a psychological one, and a system for fixing whichever is actually holding you back.
Habits and routine
The boring infrastructure that quietly separates you from the competition.
Mindset
How much of your result is decided by your psychology, and a system to improve it on purpose rather than by accident.
Review and compound
Putting it together, and the plan for the part that matters most: what you do on your own after the workshop ends.

We will not promise you profits, because nobody honest can. Here is what we will promise: if you look at the workshop and decide it is not worth your time or money, email us any time before the start date and you get every dollar back.

Who this is for, and who it isn’t.
A good fit if you
- Are willing to do real work and hear the truth about what trading takes
- Want to understand how markets move, at any experience level
- Can stay flexible when conditions change, because the auction changes second by second
- Would rather learn to think for yourself than be handed signals
Not a fit if you
- Are looking for an easy system or guaranteed trade signals
- Need rigid rules and struggle to adapt when the market shifts
- Expect to be profitable the week after, because you won’t be
- Want a promise instead of a skill
The odds are why the skill is worth having.

We put this here on purpose. Most of this industry hides it. The point of the workshop is not to pretend those numbers do not exist, it is to give you the tools, the routine, and the mindset to be in the small group that lasts.
What past students say.
Real reviews from traders who took the workshop.
“This course was far more than I expected, and the cost is far less than any other course on the market. Charles leaves no stone unturned in providing a full understanding of day trading the futures.”
“By far the best value bar none. I’ve taken many workshops and webinars studying various trading methods and this one is my favorite. His teaching style is very conducive to learning and the pace is perfect. Don’t give it a second thought.”
“I cannot recommend Charles’ workshop highly enough. A very talented mentor with a keen understanding of market dynamics who delivers extremely clear, actionable information. A true mentor that every aspiring trader would be lucky to have.”
“Charles knows his stuff! Learned so much in the 2 weeks and was able to ask questions while the market was live. Very thorough, from the technicals to risk management and mindset. Invaluable, and a steal for the price he is charging.”
“Outstanding, in-depth course covering far more than one could imagine. I highly recommend it no matter what experience level you’re at. I consider myself a moderate to advanced trader and was still able to gleam hours of helpful information.”
“Great 2 weeks of market behavior understanding! Charles knows his stuff and puts it all in a much easier way to understand. My only regret is I did not come across him sooner. I honestly can not believe he does this for so little cost.”
Frequently asked questions.
What if I can’t attend the sessions live?
You are covered. Every session is recorded and posted, and stays available to you for a full year. Many students with day jobs take the entire workshop on the recordings and never attend a live session. Attend live if you can for the real-time Q&A; if you can’t, you miss nothing.
Should I join if I am new to trading?
Yes. The workshop is built for every level, and starting with the auction beats starting with a pile of indicators. You will not be behind for being new; you will be ahead for learning it right.
How do I know if Charles’ approach is right for me?
Most traders find learning to read the two-way auction extremely valuable. The honest exception: it is not a great fit if you struggle with change. The auction shifts second by second, and mastering it requires real flexibility.
Will I be profitable after the workshop?
Not right away, and anyone who promises otherwise is lying to you. Trading is a hard skill learned in a random environment, and it takes a long time. This gives you the tools to grow on your own. Profitability comes from how you use them, plus discipline, patience, and time.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Full refund up to 24 hours before the workshop starts, no questions asked. Requests by email to ahoy@piratetraders.com. (The separate video course is final sale, no refunds.)
Do you teach setups or give trade signals?
No signals, ever. The whole point is teaching you to think for yourself. Charles shows the setups he personally trades as examples to learn from and build your own from, not to copy.
The next cohort starts October 19.
Seats are capped on purpose, to keep the Q&A useful. The early rate of $420 holds until September 14, then it goes to $495. And if you change your mind, full refund up to 24 hours before we start.
