Three ways to trade the markets. One set of rules.
A live-taught course in swing trading, position trading and buy-and-hold investing — with the platform, the evidence and the exact entry, stop and target for every setup.
OCT 15 Doors open Wednesday 15 October 2026
KriekTrade Strategy CourseEducational purposes only — not financial advice
Presenter: open by asking what they trade now and how they decide when to get out. That answer sets up slide 2.
The problem
Most people trade on opinion, then discover the plan afterwards
Ask someone why they bought and you get a story. Ask where they are getting out and the answer changes depending on the price. That is not a strategy — it is a running commentary, and it is why the same account gives back in one week what it took a month to make.
What goes wrong
No exit decided first
The stop moves because the loss feels temporary. A 1% risk quietly becomes a 9% one.
What goes wrong
Size chosen by mood
Bigger after a win, bigger again to make it back. One bad week undoes a good year.
What goes wrong
No idea if it works
Nobody can tell you their win rate or their worst drawdown, because nobody measured.

Do not sell yet. Get them to agree the problem is real — most will volunteer their own version of it.
What is taught
Three strategies, chosen by how much time you have
The same rules, applied over three different horizons. A customer picks the one that fits their life, not the one that sounds most exciting.
Days to weeks
Swing trading
Catch the next leg of a move. You will find setups with a scanner, plan the entry, the stop and the measured Fibonacci target before you place the trade. A short daily check.
Weeks to months
Position trading
Ride the big trends. You will read the macro backdrop, identify which markets are in a favourable regime, and hold through the noise as it develops. A weekly review.
Months to years
Buy and hold
Build long-term positions on purpose. You will value an asset before buying it and use long-cycle risk gauges to decide when to add and when to wait. A monthly check-in.

Ask which one sounds like them. Whatever they say, the next slide shows how that strategy is actually constructed.
How a trade is built
Two prices produce the entire plan
Patterson-UTI (PTEN), hourly, 19 September 2026. The low at 8.50 and the high at 12.47 are 3.97 apart — every other line is that 3.97 times a fixed ratio.
Entry11.37
Stop — risk 2.878.50
Target — reward 7.5218.89
1 : 2.6Risk $100 to make $262
KriekTrade × MTI4 / 14
Point at the green and red blocks — they are drawn to scale, so the ratio is visible before you say a number. This setup was LIVE when captured; do not claim it paid.
The same five rules, every time
Nothing on that chart was a judgement call
1
Measure the move. Low 8.50, high 12.47, range 3.97. Both points are found by the software, not by eye.
2
Wait for the pullback. Price fell to 11.05 — 35.8% of the move. A shallow pullback is what selects the far 2.618 target instead of a near one.
3
Take the trigger, not the guess. The entry fires when momentum confirms — RSI turning up at C. No trigger, no trade, however good the chart looks.
4
Put the stop where you are wrong. 8.50, below the low that started the move. If price gets there the reason for the trade is gone.
5
Let the ratio decide. 2.87 risked against 7.52 — 1:2.6. Anything under the customer's minimum ratio is simply not taken. Most setups are not taken.
This is the sales point: a customer can check every one of these numbers on their own chart tonight. Nothing here depends on believing us.

If they push back on Fibonacci, do not defend the theory — move to slide 6 and let the test results answer.
Evidence
Every number was produced by MetaTrader, not by us
221 Strategy Tester reports across two platforms and three broker accounts. The customer is shown how to reproduce each one on their own machine.

Lead with the drawdown, not the return. Experienced traders trust the person who volunteers the worst number first.

Why the top row and not the third: the same 1,180 trades at 1% risk turned $10,000 into $39,628 — but the account held 77 positions open at once, putting 77% of its equity at risk simultaneously, and fell 34% at its worst. 0.25% is the version a real account survives.

This slide earns more trust than any other. You are showing them a bigger number and then talking them out of it.
Their number, not ours
What the tested result does to a real starting amount
The same 4.9-year test, applied to the amount the customer would actually start with — and the drawdown they would have had to sit through on the way.

Not a forecast. This applies the tested return and the tested drawdown to the starting capital — compounded from 1,180 trades over 4.9 years. The website has a calculator that does this live for any amount.

Always read the drawdown column out loud with the gain. Never quote the gain alone.
Independent verification
Checked on someone else's software, someone else's data
Strategy Tester reports221182 on Ava Trade, 37 on RoboForex, 2 on MT4 — most at 100% real-tick quality.
Trades the macro filter refused2,531Of 3,747 valid setups, 68% were declined because the macro regime was against them. Losses avoided, not opportunities missed.
Forward testLiveRunning on a RoboForex MT4 demo since 14 August 2026, forex only, using the same signals the customer receives.
The New Zealand dollar pairs and the VIX are excluded because five years of testing said they do not work — and the customer is shown that evidence too.
KriekTrade × MTI9 / 14
The 2,531 refused trades is the strongest line on this slide. A filter that says no is worth more than one that says yes.
Curriculum
Nine modules, in the order a trader actually needs them
Risk and disclosures first, then the setup, then the platform, then the automation — and finally the two things that decide whether any of it works: position size and the customer's own head.
01
Disclosures & reading a signal
What the platform is and is not allowed to tell you, and why every signal carries an observation.
02
Core concepts
Trend, support, resistance, the Fibonacci ratios and the moving averages that define the regime.
03
The macro regime
Rates, inflation and the cycle — and why 68% of valid setups get refused.
04
The strategy, rule by rule
A to B to C, the trigger, the stop and the measured target. The slide-4 chart, taught properly.
05
Reading the platform
Scanner, charts, alerts, briefing, risk calculator and Options Lab — one session per screen.
06
Evidence
How the tests were run, and how to reproduce any of the 221 reports on your own machine.
07
Automation
The Expert Advisor on MT4 and MT5: installation, settings, and the minimum reward-to-risk gate.
08
Equity management
Position size, correlation, and why the same trades make either 43% or 296% — and why you want 43%.
09
Trading psychology
Built around the platform's own guardrails, so discipline is enforced rather than promised.

If they only care about one module it is usually 07 (automation). Use that to open the platform conversation.
Who teaches it
Tian Kriek
25+ years in the financial markets. 15,000+ traders trained. 2017 Instructor of the Year, Market Traders Institute.
Tian started as a markets analyst and instructor in South Africa in the early 2000s, went on to trade futures and options, and spent nearly a decade at Market Traders Institute as an analyst, instructor and Senior Currency Strategist.
He founded KriekTrade to put the rules he teaches into software: a scanner, chart targets and macro risk gauges built for traders who want a process instead of predictions. This course is those rules, laid out strategy by strategy.

Mention the MTI years early — for an MTI customer this is the credential that lands hardest.
What the customer gets
Taught live, then kept for good
Live
Taught in the room
Sessions run live with Tian from 15 October, with questions answered as they come up — not a pre-recorded library nobody finishes.
After
Kept on demand
Every session is recorded and stays available, so a missed week is not a lost module.
With it
The platform itself
The scanner, charts, risk calculator and the Expert Advisor — the same tools the evidence was produced with.
Seats are limited by the size of the live room. This is a real constraint, not a countdown gimmick — when the live sessions are full, they are full.

Do not invent a discount or a deadline that is not on the website. The date is the urgency.
Straight answers
The four questions you will be asked
Q
“Do I need experience?” No. Module 1 starts at how to read a signal. An experienced trader can skip to module 3 and lose nothing.
Q
“How much time does it take?” Swing trading is a short daily check, position trading a weekly review, buy-and-hold a monthly one. The customer picks the horizon that fits their week.
Q
“Is this financial advice?” No. It is education. The platform states an observation and the rules; the decision and the account are always the customer's.
Q
“Will I make 43% a year?” Unknown — that figure is a simulation on past data, not a promise. What is being sold is a tested process and the evidence behind it, including the losing parts.
KriekTrade × MTI13 / 14
Answer the last one exactly as written. Never soften it into a projection.
