TradeTM FAQ | Get Your Questions Answered

Can I get my membership reimbursed by my company?

Yes. After admission you can request a GST-compliant invoice in your employer's name, or we can invoice your company directly and share bank transfer details. Write to contact@tradetm.org for help.

Can I speak with current TradeTM members?

Yes. You can connect with members on LinkedIn or X. If you'd like an introduction, email us and we'll facilitate it.

How do I contact the TradeTM membership curation team?

Email contact@tradetm.org and we will get back to you promptly.

Can I defer my enrolment to a future cohort?

Yes. If an emergency or major work commitment affects your pace, you may request a one-time deferral to the next cohort at no extra cost. Email contact@tradetm.org within two months of your start date.

How do I access my membership? Is this remote?

Yes. All sessions are online and accessible via the TradeTM App on Android and iOS. Your cohort lectures, recordings, assignments, and resources are available in-app.

Does everyone who applies get accepted?

No. We review every application carefully and select people who show potential to become strong, disciplined traders and constructive community members. Short-listed candidates are invited to a Discovery Call to discuss their journey, goals, and alignment with our principles. We keep cohorts intentionally small to ensure focused attention and meaningful progress.

How is TradeTM different from other trading courses?

We do not sell tips or shortcuts. You learn a complete, first-principles framework: reading structure and price bar-by-bar, building a robust execution plan, managing risk before and after entry, and reviewing trades with rigour. Small cohorts, 1:1 reviews, and a capstone ensure the learning translates into results.

What support is available after the cohort ends?

Alumni will always stay connected through community channels and resources. We also run Deep Dives through the year with selected participants who want to continue advanced research and application.

What happens if I fall behind?

Use recordings to catch up, then book a 1:1 to prioritise what matters most. If major disruptions occur, the one-time deferral option is always available.

What backgrounds do successful members come from?

Finance and markets, business owners, technology and product, consulting, engineering, medicine, and more. The common traits are discipline, curiosity, and a willingness to do the work.

What if I miss a live session?

Recordings are provided. You'll get catch-up tasks and can use your 1:1 to close gaps quickly.

Can I complete this at my own pace?

No. The program follows a structured schedule. Accountability and weekly participation are central to how we drive real improvement.

I have a full-time job. How much time will I need? Is this for me?

Plan for 10 hours per week for sessions and assignments. For faster progress and deeper mentor feedback, budget 15–20 hours weekly.

Is this full time?

No. Most members are full-time professionals. Mid-week reviews and 1:1s run on weekday evenings, and intensive sessions are on weekends, typically between 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM IST.

I'm primarily a fundamental investor. Will this benefit me?

Yes. We bridge fundamentals and price behaviour. Many of our strongest members began as investors and transformed their edge by adding TradeTM’s execution frameworks, tape reading, and risk discipline to their research process.

How advanced is the TradeTM program?

You do not need deep technical expertise, but a basic understanding of markets helps. We provide curated pre-work to build your foundation. Our community includes newcomers and seasoned professionals; what unites them is curiosity and first-principles thinking. Through clear frameworks and mental models, you will learn to see through market complexity and make better decisions.

What is your refund policy?

Because seats are limited and preparation begins immediately after admission, fees are generally non-refundable once enrolment is confirmed. If life intervenes, the one-time deferral option is available as described above.

I require a GST invoice. Do you provide it?

Yes. After payment, share your GST details with contact@tradetm.org and we will issue a GST-compliant invoice.

Do you provide EMI or financing options?

We are currently in the process of setting up EMI options. Soon, we will accept credit-card EMI from leading banks, as well as debit cards, UPI, and internet banking. For wire transfers, email contact@tradetm.org.
