Stryker Trading Academy breaks down ICT concepts and SMT divergence into a chapter-by-chapter curriculum — from candle basics to liquidity engineering — taught the way a trading desk would train a new analyst.
Trusted by traders currently working across FX, indices, gold & crypto desks worldwide
Every chapter is sequenced the way a mentor would actually train a junior analyst — concept, chart drill, live market example, then a graded review before you move forward.
Chapters unlock in order — foundations, then market structure, then advanced ICT/SMT — so nothing is learned out of sequence.
Every concept — order blocks, FVGs, liquidity sweeps, SMT divergence — is taught directly on real chart examples, not slides.
Weekly live market breakdowns during London and New York killzones, recorded and added to your dashboard.
Short chart-marking exercises after each chapter confirm you can identify the concept before you advance.
A private desk-style chat for daily bias, journaling accountability, and SMT correlation checks across pairs.
Track chapter completion, streaks, and journaling stats in a dashboard built for how traders actually review performance.
Institutions don't chase price — they engineer liquidity, then move it. Stryker's curriculum is built entirely around that premise: every lesson maps directly to how smart money accumulates, manipulates, and distributes.
A working glossary of what ICT and SMT trading actually means — covered in depth, in order, across the curriculum.
Reading swing highs/lows to define trend, ranges, and structural shifts.
Confirming continuation vs. reversal through structural breaks.
Locating the last opposing candle before an institutional displacement.
Spotting imbalance left behind by aggressive one-directional moves.
Mapping resting orders above highs and below lows before they're swept.
Comparing correlated pairs to catch reversals other traders miss.
Using equilibrium ranges to judge where price is expensive or cheap.
Trading the London and New York windows where displacement is most reliable.
A preview of the path. The full curriculum — all 42 chapters — is on the courses page.
Candlestick anatomy, timeframes, and how to read a chart the way a desk analyst does.
Identifying swing points, trend direction, and confirming BOS vs. CHoCH in real time.
Using DXY, ES, and correlated FX pairs to confirm liquidity sweeps before they reverse.
"The chapter order actually matters here. By the time I got to SMT divergence, market structure was second nature — nothing felt rushed."
"First academy that treated order blocks and FVGs as things to mark on my own charts, not just watch someone else mark."
"The killzone live sessions alone were worth it — watching a real sweep and OB form in real time versus a backtest screenshot is different."
Every plan includes the full 42-chapter curriculum. Higher tiers add live sessions and direct mentorship.
