The complete system for finding, buying, and selling stocks.
Whether you're sitting on cash and don't know where to start, or you're investing but giving back gains because you have no exit rules — the Academy gives you a mechanical framework for every decision. What to buy, when to buy, how much to risk, and exactly when to sell.
The 3 biggest mistakes that destroy returns
These aren't edge cases. These are the patterns we see in the majority of people who come to us — and the exact problems the Academy was built to solve.
Treating the market like a casino
Gut feelings, hot tips, day trading. The data shows only 1-2% of day traders are profitable long-term. You're competing against HFT algorithms and MIT quants on short timeframes. But retail investors have a massive edge they're ignoring: time horizon.
Not knowing when to sell
This is the #1 struggle — 45% of our students came to us because they had no exit system. Most courses obsess over entries and ignore management. The result? Holding losers too long, cutting winners too early, and never knowing whether to stay or go.
Following signals instead of learning
Signal services create dependency. When the service stops, you're back to square one. Education compounds — every concept you learn makes the next one easier. We teach you to fish, not sell you fish.
The 1-4-10 Method
A complete investing framework built on three constraints that filter out the noise and give you clear rules for every single decision — entry, exit, and everything in between.
One Country
The US market only — the largest and most liquid in the world. This is where institutional capital flows. You follow the money.
Four Moving Averages
The 20, 50, 100, and 200-day MAs tell you when to get in and when to get out. Every entry and every exit is defined by these four numbers.
$10B+ Market Cap
Established companies only. No penny stocks, no speculation, no hoping. Companies with real revenues and proven demand.
Five phases from beginner to confident investor
Not a pile of videos. A structured learning journey — each phase builds on the last, with a clear outcome at every stage.
Reset Your Thinking
Unlearn the gambling mindset. Understand why day trading fails, why cash isn't safe (£517bn sitting in UK Cash ISAs losing to inflation), and where retail investors actually have an edge. Build the foundation for systematic decision-making.
The 1-4-10 System
Learn the core framework: 1 country (US), 4 moving averages (20/50/100/200-day), $10B+ market cap stocks. Master the Filter Model for systematic stock selection — 5 criteria that tell you exactly what qualifies and what gets ignored.
Trade Management
The part most courses skip entirely. Learn the MA cascade exit system (20 → 50 → 100 DMA), fast trend management for rapid movers (10/20 DMA), and the three post-entry scenarios. This is where the money is made — not entries, but management.
Build Your Portfolio
Position sizing calibrated to volatility. Portfolio structure (55-60% S&P base + 40-45% individual stocks). Correlation awareness so you're not accidentally doubled up. Account types, product selection, and practical execution.
Read the Market
Four economic regimes and how to position for each. How to read data releases (ISM, employment, inflation). The surprise premium — why expectations matter more than absolutes. News literacy: signal vs noise.
Everything inside the Academy
Tangible tools, frameworks, and resources — not just theory.
Students using the same system
These results come from students applying the 1-4-10 method. The exits weren't guesses — they were defined by the rules before the positions were opened. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
"Very welcoming community for a beginner. Open to 'dumb' questions. Makes investing simple even for a novice."
"Saves me tens of hours a week. The best possible knowledge for running a stocks portfolio, especially as someone who works full time in a demanding job."
"David / Fink = Honesty. He speaks from a place of genuine care. Not a 'hype merchant.' Professional and trustworthy."
"My lifetime membership more than paid for itself quickly. The insights are in a league of their own — my win rate took an immediate positive hit from day one."
"By far the best macro content service I've ever encountered. Impeccable subject knowledge. Not a signal service — an institutional-level educational community."
"David gives a different insight and ignores the noise. Helped me go from the typical pump and dump route to actually picking the right stocks using a proper system."

Before You Decide
The system is designed for exactly that. Once you've learned the rules (most finish in 2-4 weeks at a comfortable pace), the daily routine is about 10 minutes: check the dashboard, review your positions, act if the rules say to. Gareth says it saves him tens of hours a week compared to how he used to invest. This is the opposite of chart-staring.
The 1-4-10 method is a mechanical framework — it doesn't rely on talent, intuition, or experience. 1,500+ students have used the same rules. The exits are defined before you enter a position. The Filter Model tells you exactly what qualifies. If you follow the system, the system works. It's designed to remove the variables that make investing fail.
Signal services tell you what to do. We teach you how to think. The Academy gives you a complete framework you own — the Filter Model for finding stocks, mechanical entry and exit rules, position sizing — so you can make every decision yourself. The goal is independence, not dependency. You'll never need to wait for someone else's call again.
Consider what you've already lost to bad decisions — the gains you gave back, the years sitting in cash while inflation ate your purchasing power, the money lost following tips on Twitter. A financial adviser charges £1,500-3,000 per year and doesn't teach you anything. This is a one-time investment in a system you'll use for decades. One well-managed exit can return the cost of the entire course.
Yes. Phase 1 starts from the ground up — what a brokerage account is, which one to open, how markets work. About 23% of the people who come to us have never invested before. If you'd prefer to start with something smaller, our Bank Statement Method (£29.99) walks complete beginners through their first three investments. But many beginners come straight to the Academy and do brilliantly.
This is the most common reason people join. Phase 3 gives you specific, mechanical exit rules: below the 20-day MA, cut 25%. Below the 50-day, cut to half. Below the 100-day, exit completely. You'll also get the fast-trend management rules for stocks that move quickly, plus the volatility-adjusted sizing model. If exits are your weak point, that's the core of what we teach.
The course gives you the complete 1-4-10 system with one monthly support session. The bundle adds daily community access — real-time insights from David and Tim, weekly video updates, direct Q&A, and ongoing discussion in Discord. Most students choose the bundle for the accountability and live support while they're getting started. You can always add community later.
Yes. The community is quarterly (£250€290$315/quarter after your first quarter at 50% off). Cancel anytime and keep full lifetime access to the course content. Many students stay for the ongoing insights and market context, but there's no lock-in.
You've read this far. You already know.
The cost of staying where you are — guessing exits, chasing tips, watching gains disappear — only compounds. The Academy gives you a complete framework: what to buy, when to buy, how much to risk, and exactly when to sell. One purchase. Lifetime access.
