Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before you apply.
Straight answers about how the mentorship works, what's included at each tier, and what to expect from enrollment through your first live session.
Getting Started
What is ICT / Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and why do you teach it?
ICT and Smart Money Concepts are a framework for reading price through liquidity, market structure, and institutional order flow — instead of reacting to lagging indicators. It's built around cause and effect: where liquidity is resting, how structure shifts, and when probability genuinely stacks in your favor.
Tereda Trades teaches this framework because it's the same lens used throughout our curriculum, live sessions, and case studies — see the Core Framework section for a breakdown of liquidity, structure, and execution.
Do I need prior trading experience to join?
No. Applicants range from absolute beginners (0–6 months) to advanced traders (2+ years). The application form asks about your current experience level so your roadmap and pace can be matched to where you're actually starting from, not a generic curriculum.
What markets and sessions do you focus on?
Forex, gold (XAUUSD), and major equity indices like the Nasdaq-100 (NQ/US100). Live trading sessions run during the London and New York killzones, when institutional order flow tends to be most active.
Programs
What's the difference between Starter, Elite Mentorship, and 1-on-1 Coaching?
Starter gives you the full core curriculum, weekly group chart markups, execution playbooks, and community access — a solid structural foundation.
Elite Mentorship includes everything in Starter, plus biweekly 1-on-1 live calls, live session access during London and New York killzones, and custom risk management blueprinting.
1-on-1 Coaching is application-only and includes everything in Elite Mentorship, plus direct trade journal critiques from your mentor and twice-weekly 1-on-1 check-ins.
Full breakdowns are on the Mentorship section.
Why is 1-on-1 Coaching "by application only"?
Because it involves direct, ongoing 1-on-1 time, enrollment is intentionally limited to keep coaching bandwidth focused. Applicants are reviewed individually rather than accepted automatically.
Can I move to a higher tier later?
Yes — message the admins in the Telegram channel and they'll walk you through upgrading from your current plan.
Enrollment
How do I actually apply?
Submit the application form with your details, experience level, and program of interest. You'll get a reference number immediately after submitting.
Then join the Tereda Trades Telegram channel and message the admins with that reference number — this step finalizes your application.
What happens after I submit my application?
Once you've messaged the admins with your reference number, your application is reviewed and you'll be contacted directly on Telegram to schedule a strategy call and next steps.
Is there a minimum age requirement?
Yes. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is greater. It's your responsibility to confirm the program is permitted under the laws that apply to you before enrolling.
Results & Risk
Do you guarantee profits or specific results?
No. No income, profit, or trading outcome is guaranteed. Individual results vary based on effort, experience, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Trading carries substantial risk of loss and isn't suitable for every investor.
Are the case studies on the site real trades?
Results shown are for educational illustration only and do not represent typical outcomes. Some examples may be hypothetical or simulated. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Is this financial advice?
No. Tereda Trades is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution. All material, setups, and commentary are for informational and educational purposes only and don't constitute financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
