Curriculum

Our curriculum is the spine of the Commodity Chart Reading Intensive and the reference map for mentoring. It stays close to commodity boards — grains, softs, energy, metals — rather than equity index folklore.

Path through the craft

1. Market structure on continuous contracts

   Identify swing highs and lows, higher-high sequences, and ranges that deserve names. Students mark by hand before discussing any overlay.

2. Support, resistance, and roll awareness

   Separate levels that hold across rolls from artefacts created by contract stitching. Practice reading the front month inside the continuous context.

3. Volume and open interest as confirmation

   Ask whether participation agrees with the break. Commodity markets often speak through open interest changes that equity-trained readers overlook.

4. False breaks and congestion behaviour

   Study failed breakouts near prior harvest or inventory events. Learn when to stand aside rather than force a narrative onto the chart.

5. One-page trade planning

   Translate the annotated chart into bias, trigger, invalidation, and review date. No signal service — only a written plan you can defend.

Materials you will handle

Printed weekly and daily charts, a simple annotation key, historical case packs from Australian and global commodity sessions, and a homework ledger for returning mark-ups.

How curriculum meets programmes

The intensive walks the full path over six weeks. Workshops compress one or two stages around a shared theme. Mentoring and single reviews assume you already sit somewhere on this path and need critique, not a first lecture.
