Smart Money Concept (SMC) Mastery
10-day live course on institutional trading concepts.
PKR 30,000 / 10-day live course
The Smart Money Concept (SMC) Mastery course is a 5-day, live, instructor-led program designed to teach you how institutional players — banks, funds, and market makers — actually move price, and how to read their footprints on a chart.
Most retail traders lose money because they're taught indicator-based strategies that lag price and get trapped by the very moves institutions engineer to trigger retail stop-losses and breakout entries. This course flips that approach. You'll learn to read raw price action the way liquidity providers do: where they're likely to hunt stops, where they accumulate positions, and where they let price run.
By the end of five days, you'll have a complete, repeatable framework — from identifying market structure and liquidity pools, through order blocks and fair value gaps, to a full entry, stop-loss, and risk model you can apply to PSX equities, Forex, or commodities from day one.
This course is taught live over Zoom/Google Meet, with each session recorded and made available in your account within 24 hours, along with a short comprehension check after each day so you can track your own progress.
Format: 5 live sessions, ~2 hours each, plus recordings and quizzes
Level: Beginner to intermediate — some basic chart-reading familiarity is helpful but not required
Delivered by: A SECP-licensed technical analyst with hands-on PSX, Forex, and Commodities experience
