Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the program, the application process, and what to expect.

What is The Trader's Full Circle? +

The Trader's Full Circle is a 10-week live, cohort-based program built to mirror the real conditions of a renewable energy trading desk. It is practical, technical, and built entirely around learning by doing. Led by an active Head of Renewable Energy Trading, you work through real market simulations across Day-Ahead, Intraday (IDAS, XBID), and Balancing markets, alongside a Human Edge track covering performance psychology and professional readiness. No theory for theory's sake. Every session is designed to put you in the seat and make you perform. The goal is simple: to make you the candidate companies trust from day one.

Who is this program for? +

The program is built for ambitious professionals who know they belong at a trading desk but have not yet found a structured path to get there. Career transitioners, recent graduates in engineering or energy-related fields, junior energy professionals seeking front-desk exposure, and high performers from competitive backgrounds ready to bring that edge to trading. While our current cohorts are concentrated across Europe, Singapore, and Dubai, the program is fully online and open to the right candidates globally.

Is the program fully online? +

Yes, entirely. The program is delivered live on Zoom, which means it is open to professionals anywhere in the world. Our current cohorts draw from Europe, Singapore, and Dubai, and we welcome applicants from any location where a serious energy trading market exists. Every session is live and interactive. Nothing is pre-recorded. If you ever have to miss a session, a recording is available so you can catch up, but the real value is in showing up: the live pressure and real-time decision-making are the heart of the program.

How long is the program and how many sessions are there? +

10 weeks, 15+ live sessions across two tracks. Track A, the Trader's Edge, covers technical energy trading including market structure, intraday trading, and real market simulations. Track B, the Human Edge, develops the psychological and mental capabilities that determine how you perform when the pressure is real: emotional regulation under volatility, decision-making with incomplete information, mental resilience when positions move against you, and the composure that separates traders who belong at the desk from those who only studied for it. Together these two tracks are Phase 1: The Complete Trader. Graduates can optionally continue into Phase 2: the Quant Edge, an 8-session continuation.

What energy markets does the program cover? +

European power markets including Day-Ahead (DAM), Intraday (IDAS and XBID), and Balancing markets, with a focus on renewable energy trading. Participants work through real market simulations and live case studies.

When does Cohort 2 start? +

Cohort 2 begins Sunday, September 20, 2026. Applications are now open and cohort sizes are deliberately kept small. Apply early as places are limited.

What makes this program different from other energy trading courses? +

Most energy trading courses give you theory and leave you to figure out the rest. The Trader's Full Circle is different because everything happens live, in real time, with real market conditions. Your Master Energy Trader is an active Head of Renewable Energy Trading, currently operating in the power markets, not a trainer who once traded. This means you are not learning from a textbook or a simulation of a simulation. You are learning from someone making real decisions in the same markets you are preparing to enter.

For the first time, you get genuine exposure to how a real trading desk operates: reading live positions, making calls under time pressure, and going through structured debriefs so you understand not just what happened, but why, and what you would do differently. This is how market intuition, mental resilience, and professional composure are actually built. Not by studying. By doing, being evaluated, and doing it again.

What is the TTFC Core Community? +

Every participant who joins The Trader's Full Circle becomes part of the TTFC Core Community, a private, permanent professional network of people who have gone through the same program. The community lives in Slack, a private workspace for your cohort, where members discuss real market moves and trading decisions, lean on each other through the program and beyond, learn from peers across different markets and countries, and support one another into their trading careers. In trading, your network is your net worth. The TTFC Core Community is where yours begins.

What tools do you use to run the program? +

Live sessions run on Zoom, always live and interactive, so you take part in real time from anywhere in the world. Your cohort community lives in Slack, a private workspace where you stay connected to the instructors and your peers between sessions and long after the program ends. Course materials and resources are shared in a dedicated participant portal. Everything is designed so you can focus on the work, not the logistics.

How do I apply? +

Step 1: Submit your application through our online form. Step 2: Immediately after applying, you book a 20-minute discovery and assessment call. By the end of the call, you will know whether you are a fit for the program and we will know whether the program is a fit for you. Places are limited and offered to candidates who demonstrate genuine commitment and readiness.
