"Joining this trading Discord mentorship has genuinely changed the way I understand the market. Before, I was mostly guessing and relying on basic support and resistance, but the mentorship broke things down in a way that actually made sense. Learning about LVNs, HVNs, and AMT gave me a completely different perspective. Instead of just looking at price, I now understand why price moves the way it does."
NQ · futures education

mentorship, not a course alone
the flagship
full mentorship
$1,500
one time · application required
one on one, built around your account size, your schedule, and the specific thing that's costing you money. not a course you watch alone — i work the problem with you until the process is yours.
01 · the one on one work
live sessions, screen shared
we sit on your charts, not mine. your broker, your account size, your timeframes, your setups. you ask, i answer, we fix it while you watch.
your trades graded, not glanced at
you send trades, i run them through the same six slots the grader uses — context, liquidity event, flow evidence, trigger, entry zone, named draw — and tell you exactly which one was missing.
a plan built for your actual life
what you can trade around work or school, what size your account can survive, and which sessions you should be skipping entirely.
direct line to me
dm me mid session when you're stuck. you don't sit on a bad habit for three weeks waiting for the next call.
02 · the academy, lifetime
281 lessons across 18 courses
ordered easy to hard, beginner bootcamp through market microstructure. the full list is below.
three depth levels per lesson
take the surface version when you're learning it, go deeper when you're ready. the same lesson grows with you instead of going stale.
nick’s strat, the house strategy
8 lessons on the volume based process i actually trade on nq. this is the one thing not taught anywhere else.
quizzes, assignments, and a playbook
you build your own playbook as you go. by the end you have a written process in your words, not my notes.

the grader is the one you'll live in. tick the slots a trade actually had, tag the violations, and it hands you a grade, the size that trade deserved, and the exact lessons to go review. copy the whole review straight into discord for feedback.
04 · tooling and access
plbk profile indicator
the private tradingview script, plus the 13 lesson course on every setting and how to run it.
private discord
daily breakdowns, session level maps, and the mentorship only channels where the real conversations happen.
everything added later
new courses and tools land in your account automatically. you paid once.
no expiry
lifetime means lifetime. there is no renewal and no second invoice.
how it runs
what the first month looks like
consistency before complexity. we fix the process before we add anything to it.
we find the actual leak
you walk me through recent trades. nine times out of ten the concepts are fine and the entry timing is what's bleeding — reading levels without volume confluence.
one process, locked
session bias, the levels that matter, and the invalidation stated before the entry. same read every day until it's automatic.
risk and journaling
sizing, daily loss limits, and a journal you actually fill in. the boring half decides whether you're still here in six months.
then we add
only once the base is consistent. gex context, session nuance, the stuff that helps a structured trader and destroys an unstructured one.

the tool
plbk profile
a private tradingview script that draws the levels for you and tells you why each one is there.
nq 1‑minute, a normal session. every line above was plotted automatically.
levels with a reason attached
each line is labelled with its price and why it matters — shelf, ib high, rej, pdh. you're never looking at a line and guessing what it was drawn from.
shaded acceptance zones
the bands are areas price traded through and accepted, not single ticks. you get a zone to work inside instead of one exact number to defend.
session volume profile
the shape down the right side is where volume actually sat. the fat part is where business got done, the thin parts are where price moved fast and tends to move fast again.
gex context on top
the call wall up at 30,933 comes from options positioning. different data to everything else on the chart, which is the point — it tells you where dealers have to act.
the script plots the levels. it does not tell you to buy or sell, and there are no entry or exit signals in it.
what you actually get

individual member results shared in the discord. read the note underneath before you read anything into them.
about these results
These are individual results from specific members and they are not typical. Most people who attempt funded futures trading do not reach payouts, and a large number lose the money they put in. Nothing here is a projection of what you will make, and nothing here is promised or guaranteed.
Members shown chose to share these publicly and were not paid for doing so. Results depend on the individual, and no past result indicates a future one.

what members say
posted in the testimonials channel, unedited apart from trimming for length.
"The way he breaks down the market, the focus on structure, and the daily callouts helped me finally understand what I was doing wrong. This is the real deal. It's not one of those overhyped servers — even though it's low profile, the quality is insane. Most importantly, you actually learn how to trade properly instead of relying on signals."
"Teaching on LVNs, HVNs, and all of the deep stuff inside of trading opened my eyes to a side of trading most people never even learn about. The callouts are honestly insane too. They're not random signals — every setup is explained with context, confidence, and proper execution. Watching the live sessions helped me develop patience and discipline instead of overtrading every move."
"I've spent two years trying to make this trading shit work day and night. Stuff wasn't working out for the longest time. I was extremely skeptical and thought it was a scam because of all the people in this space that scam, but I gave in and decided to join. My life is fully changed."
"It's actually crazy, the amount of knowledge and support that Nick provides for this community. Every single week it feels like there's something new that I'm learning that is only making me better as a trader and a person."
"I had started this course knowing nothing about trading. Nick just helped me get my second funded account passed, and honestly I'm incredibly thankful for all the guidance and knowledge I've received. I know there's still a long road ahead, but being able to get to this point means a lot to me."
"Came from trying iFVGs, a bunch of other mentorships and servers, and nothing has ever come close to The Collective. The amount of material and support feels like a university."
"I'm not saying this to make it look like trading is easy or that you're going to get rich overnight. You're going to lose. You're going to struggle. You're going to question yourself. But if you're willing to actually learn the market and build a process — it wasn't overnight for me. There were blown accounts, losses, and plenty of moments where I genuinely wanted to quit."
before you apply
who this is and isn't for
good fit
- you can be at a chart for the new york open, or you'll rearrange to be
- you have money set aside you can afford to lose entirely
- you've traded before and know roughly where you're stuck
- you want to learn the read, not be handed entries
not a fit
- the money is borrowed, on credit, or needed for rent
- you want to replace your income in the next few months
- you're looking for guaranteed results — nobody can give you those
- you won't journal or track anything
questions
the ones i get most
do i need experience?
for the academy and community, no. for the one on one mentorship it helps a lot — the value is in fixing what's already broken, and if you've never traded there's nothing to fix yet. if that's you i'll usually point you at the community first.
what do i need to start?
tradingview, a futures broker or a funded account, and money set aside you can afford to lose. i'll walk you through the setup either way.
is this signals?
signals are a separate product and they're the smallest part of what i do. everything else is teaching you to build the read yourself, because following someone else's entries stops working the moment they stop posting.
how much time does it take?
the new york open is where the work happens. plan on being at a chart for that, plus a few hours a week on the course material and your journal.
will i make money?
i can't tell you that and nobody honest will. most people who try futures lose money. what i can do is give you a process and tell you straight when you're not ready.
refunds?
because everything is digital and access is granted immediately, sales are final. if you're on the fence, apply and we'll talk first — i turn people away when it isn't the right time for them.
