The vision
Why this academy exists.
Markets are not complicated because price is complicated. They are complicated because
of everything that has been stacked on top of price — dozens of indicators, each one
lagging, each one contradicting the next. A retail trader opens a chart, adds six tools,
and ends up further from the market than when they started.
A retail trader should be able to look at a raw chart and know what the
market is doing — without a single indicator on it.
That is the whole purpose of MFTC Trading Academy. Take what institutions read — structure,
levels, where price is trapped and where it is free — and teach it in a way an ordinary
trader can follow, in their own language, step by step. Not signals to copy. The ability
to read the chart themselves, so the decision is theirs and they can repeat it tomorrow
without anyone's help.
Every concept taught here was built for that one test: can someone with no background
learn it, and still use it six months later under live-market pressure?
Concepts that changed how my students read a chart
Every framework below is my own — developed, documented and traded, not
borrowed from someone else's course.
MFTC
Market Footprinting Trading Concept
The parent framework. Price leaves a footprint as it moves; MFTC is the method for
reading that footprint structurally — on any market, on any timeframe.
I.R.
Initial Reversal
A low is only valid support if the high before it was broken first. The first failure
of that valid level is the Initial Reversal — and it happens exactly twice in a full
swing cycle. Everything in between is a break of structure, not a turn.
E/I
External & Internal Structure
The big swings are external, the small ones inside them are internal. An internal
breakout means nothing while the external structure still stands — and that single
mistake is where most retail traders get trapped.
3WS
3 Wedge Structuring
Rising, falling and consolidation wedges, read against convention: the rising wedge
as a correction inside a bearish move, the falling wedge as the more bullish one. They
cycle into each other, so price can be mapped continuously.
Peer-reviewed · IOSR Journal
CRT
Candle Reversal Theory
Reading the turn candle by candle, as it forms — instead of waiting for a confirmation
that only arrives once the move is already gone.
MC
Mother Candle Consolidation
Any candle can be the mother candle, but it only counts once the next two or three
stay inside its wick-to-wick range. That range is the box, with a 50% midline — and
the break of the box gives direction.
TCP
Third Candle Principle
Two candles opening and closing at the same levels show absorption. The third breaks
out in the direction the second closed — the entry trigger inside a reversal zone
marked on a higher timeframe.
SM
Structure Mapping
Marking the external highs and lows as boxes so support and resistance stop being a
guess, and every later decision has a level to stand on.
RM
Risk & Discipline
Position size from the structure, not from a feeling. Along with the journal and the
discipline tracker, this is the part that decides whether the rest of it ever earns
anything.
What MFTC Trading Academy is
One method, taught four ways — because reading about a market and
trading one are different skills.
The course
MFTC — beginner to advanced
Recorded video classes that open one at a time, in order, from a raw chart to advanced
structure reading. A class unlocks only when the one before it is genuinely finished.
The room
Elite Circle — live trading
Live sessions on market days, where the method is applied while the market moves.
Sold in three, six and nine month plans; every seat is verified by hand before it
opens.
The batch
Live mentorship
A month of live classes with a small batch, taught by me, with your questions answered
in the session — plus a month inside the Elite Circle room alongside it.
The habit
Dashboard & discipline tracker
Your own view of what you have watched, what you have skipped, and where you stop
coming back. Not a percentage bar — a record of the habit, which is what actually
separates traders.
Live sessions and doubt sessions run in the MFTC app; the website
handles enrolment, verification and your recorded classes. Certificates are issued once the
programme is genuinely complete — and for live mentorship, released by hand after the batch
ends.

Original concept
Creator of MFTC — Market Footprinting Trading Concept
A trading framework for mapping live price movement structurally rather than
pattern-by-pattern. 3 Wedge Structuring, Candle Reversal Theory, the Initial Reversal
and the Third Candle Principle are all components of it. It is the foundation of
everything taught here.
Published research
3 Wedge Structuring Concept
Published in the IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance. The paper sets out three wedge
formations — rising, falling and consolidation — and inverts the conventional reading of
them: a rising wedge is treated as a correction within a bearish trend, and a falling
wedge as the more bullish structure. It defines how the three cycle into one another, so
price can be mapped continuously on any timeframe, and gives the entry rules for trading
each one.

Why this matters for what you're paying for: I'm not repackaging
someone else's course. The concepts taught here are ones I developed, documented, and trade
myself — and the results are public.
How I teach
Four principles that shape every course and every live session.
-
01
Sequential, not buffet-style
Lesson 2 stays locked until lesson 1 is genuinely finished. You can't skip to the "good part," because the good part only works if you understood the boring part first.
-
02
Structure, not tips
You learn to read what price is doing — wedges, zones, reversals — instead of waiting for someone else's call. There are no signals here and never will be; the goal is that you stop needing them.
-
03
Discipline you can measure
Your dashboard tracks what you actually did — which classes you finished and when — so consistency is something you can see, not something you tell yourself.
-
04
I trade where you can see it
Every month I take a live challenge to grow $5,000 in front of elite students. Wins and losses both get published. You see the process under real pressure, not a highlight reel.
Verified track record
Don't take my word for it — audit it.
LIVE · PUBLICLY SHARED
My full monthly P&L is published openly on TradLog — every trade, wins and losses, timestamped as they close. No screenshots, no selected wins.

Common questions
Asked often enough to answer here.
Is the mentorship live classes or pre-recorded videos?
Both, and they do different jobs. The course is recorded and unlocks one class at a time, so you learn the concepts in order. The live sessions are where charts are read in real time, questions get answered, and you see decisions made under live-market pressure. Recordings alone can't teach that part.
When are the live sessions?
Live session timings move with the market, so they are not fixed to the same slot every week. Each one is announced on your student dashboard, and every session is recorded and stays there.
How do the classes unlock?
The first class opens as soon as you enrol and a new one opens each weekday. A class only opens once you have watched the one before it — you can't skip to the “good part,” because the good part only works if you understood the boring part first.
How long does it take to learn Market Footprinting?
Plan for at least six months. The videos themselves take a few weeks to work through — but watching them isn't learning. What builds real confidence is six months of consistent study and daily practice on live charts, where the concepts stop being theory and start being something you recognise instinctively.
I'd rather tell you that upfront than sell you a weekend transformation. The lessons unlock one at a time precisely because rushing the sequence produces traders who can name a wedge but can't trade one.
Do I need any experience to start?
No. The course starts from reading a raw chart and assumes nothing, then builds up to advanced structure.
What language is it taught in?
Hindi and Hinglish, with trading terms in English.
Can I use my account on more than one device?
You can use it on any device — phone, laptop, tablet — but only one at a time. Signing in somewhere new automatically signs you out everywhere else. What it prevents is one login being shared between several people.
Can I join from outside India?
Yes, if you are comfortable learning in Hindi/Hinglish. The course is recorded and every live session is recorded, so a different timezone is not a problem.
