The Proving Path is an online self development program for futures traders — an order of five degrees, from Ashlar to Warden.

You arrive as the Ashlar: the rough stone. Vocabulary only, no tools. The tools come later, and only for concepts you have proven you can mark by hand. One handed to someone unready teaches nothing.

A degree is earned by evidence in your own record. Never by time served, and never by paying.

The money buys a server, a domain, and development time. I take no salary, and there is nothing to buy here yet.

Supporters are named on the charter — the roll of people who paid for the foundation before there was a roof. They go in first.

Not a date. Not a seat. Not a return. Perks are thank-yous, not contracts.

Education only. Not financial advice. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss.
