How long will it take?

Each of Apiary’s 12 courses are designed to take about a week, but every associate should learn at the pace that works best for them. Most everyone has a dayjob, kids, or some other aspect of their life that take the majority of their time. For this reason, the training is designed to work with as little as an hour each weekday, but there’s plenty more available in our Full Library.

As you move through the courses, we encourage you to get to know the supplemental materials as well. From our live streaming discussions to our library of ebooks and training documents... we know you’ll have all the resources you need to succeed - so dive right in!

Trader Development Program Some of the best material has been organized into 12 courses. Each course has been designed to be done in about a week, spending around 1 hour each day, but you’re free to go as fast or as slow as you’d like!

Market Basics

This first course covers currency market basics, forex basics, market structure, and more! It was created to help you learn all the essential information you need to know about the market.

As you begin on this week’s material you should also be getting started in your demo trading account. By the end of this course, you’ll have the software set up and running smoothly - just the way you like it!

In this course you’ll learn about position size, price movement, and leverage - all considerations you’ll use in your personal risk management system.

Advanced Strategies

Learn to recognize expansions and contractions in the market.

Your ability to identify patterns and characteristics of the market will go a long way in helping set up successful trades!

Learning to use tools in your trading will help you set up a perimeter around your trades. As you look for setups, you can use the Price and Time Cycles to analyze your findings and quickly see high probability trades.

The simplest strategies are often the best. Here you’ll learn about some of the basic ways to determine your entry and exit points.

Continue with more strategies including the tried and true breakout system. We’ll introduce more variables to influence your trading decisions.

These trading strategies implement more analysis elements like multiple trading indicators, or inter-market effects. You’ll be able to keep your system as simple or complex as you want.

9

Money Management Use multiple time frames to help hone your perspective on price action. Learn how analyzing your statistics will help you improve your trading.

10 Trading Psychology

You may be surprised to learn how psychology, habits, and emotional experiences factor into your trading. Sometimes it’s not the system, but the trader that needs consistency.

11

Intermarket Analysis Intermarket Analysis is the tracking of world fundamentals that determine the flow of money through the various markets and currencies. Familiarize yourself with the state of world economics and how it will influence your daily trading.

12 Risk Manager Interview

This course is devoted to getting you prepared for a funded account. The Risk Managers of the Apiary Fund determine whether you have learned how to manage risk effectively while trading consistently toward profitability. Which brings us to the next section...

Track Record Statistics Going through the Trader Development Program, you’ll be practicing in a safe, simulated account.

While you do so , detailed statistics of your progress will be sent to the website. You’ll be able to see trends in what works and what doesn’t for your trading style.

Don’t worry too much if your stats aren’t perfect.

We understand that becoming consistent and profitable is a process and there will be losses along the way.

In fact, many of our associates’ equity curves are a “smiley face,” starting out with losses before going through the training, adjusting strategies, and eventually figuring out a system that works for them.

Training is mobile-friendly

All That and a Bag of Chips As an Apiary member, you also get access to lots of other useful tools like proprietary indicators, expert advisors, an economic calendar, a trading sessions clock, and mobile apps.

We’ve Got Your Back!

You also have access to our Trader Support department. The helpful folks of Trader Support are available to answer calls and emails with questions ranging from computer trouble to trading systems.

Why do we do it?

We know there are folks who charge five times as much for less training. One major difference is motivation. The Apiary Fund’s goal is to get you qualified for a funded account. Our purpose is to put financial freedom within reach for everyone -

“To help ordinary, everyday people become successful money managers.”

To accomplish that purpose, we’ve built a comprehensive training program where everyone’s motivations are aligned. We built a distributive network so anyone in the world can participate in a positive community. We hold no information back and continue to work with you as long as it takes.

Head Trader Shawn Lucas accepts the Emerging Elite award from Mountain West Capital Network on behalf of the Apiary Fund.

We’re excited to work with you in our unique crowd-sourced community!

Welcome to the hive and...

Happy Trading!
