The program is ideal for both novice and experienced traders who have been stuck in the “trading merry-go-round” and are seeking consistency through a structured approach, focusing on developing a clear strategy and risk management system.

The Accelerator Program isn’t a passive course and doesn’t just focus on technical setups. It dives deep into process, error detection, and market context. Unlike other programs that provide isolated strategies, the Convergent Accelerator Program focuses on integrating everything into a coherent and repeatable process. We’ve also designed the course to be interactive, structured, and include live trading sessions, allowing traders to actively apply the concepts and receive feedback.

While Convergent Trading Community members can access a wealth of information and pro-trading tools, the Accelerator Program has been developed to offer an intensive, structured and elevated level of training. The unique combination of self-study lessons, weekly AMAs and the Live Intensive Week allows traders to learn and implement the program content with guidance and support, while being accountable to other traders going through the program at the same time. It really is our most extensive offering to date!

Yes, the Accelerator Program is taught by FuturesTrader71 (FT71) and CT’s Head Trader, John471. Much of the program’s content has been developed by FT71 and our team of pro-traders, who have channelled decades of trading knowledge and prop-firm experience into our most comprehensive offering yet! 

The entire program runs for six weeks, with five weeks of self-study and live AMAs, followed by a one-week Live Intensive Week. Six months of access to the Convergent Trading community is also included for continued learning, development and access to amazing trading resources.

Our next Accelerator Program will take place in Spring 2025, from Friday, April 18th – Friday, May 23rd, 2025. We will run the program again in the future but dates have not been set yet. Be sure to join our VIP mailing list to get the first access to our upcoming cohort!

On average, you should plan to dedicate four to five hours per week for self-study. However, the final week is more intensive with four to five hours of activity per day, involving daily live trading sessions and workshops, so it’s recommended to block off additional time for that. The Live Intensive Week will consist of two sessions each day, a Trade Execution Labs (2.5 hours each) and Skills Workshops (2 hours each).

Absolutely! The five-week self-study portion can be completed at your own pace during evenings or weekends, and live weekly AMAs are recorded for flexibility. We do recommend traders adjust their schedule to attend the daily sessions in the Live Intensive Week. For the Spring 2025 cohort, this will be Monday, May 19th – Friday, May 23rd, 2025, with sessions at 9:00am-11:30am ET and 12:30pm-2:30pm ET each day.

While the program focuses on futures trading, many of the strategies and risk management principles apply across different markets, making it versatile for traders in other asset classes.

Totally! Whether you’re new to Convergent Trading, or are a long-time member, the Accelerator Program will provide you with a great opportunity to learn and take control of your trading journey. Each attendee also receives six months of Community Membership. There’s never been a better time to join us!

The course deeply explores market structure and auction theory, helping you understand how the market moves and how to interpret price action in real time. This foundational knowledge is key to developing a successful trading strategy.

While FT71 typically focuses on trading the ES, our Accelerator Program is designed to help traders apply their new skills and processes to various markets. The Accelerator Program lessons and live sessions typically look at the ES as well as the NQ, RTY and CL futures. 

Yes, the program goes beyond vague principles. It provides specific setups and teaches you how to tailor these setups to your trading style and risk appetite. You will also learn to develop your own setups through the tools provided.

Yes, a significant focus is on building a repeatable edge. You’ll learn how to find, test, and validate setups that fit within a larger market context. The goal is to develop confidence in executing your edge consistently.

Yes, a significant focus is placed on managing risk, setting limits per trade, day, or week, and developing a plan that adapts to market volatility.

Yes, in the final week is a Live Intensive Week with Trade Execution Labs, where participants trade alongside the instructors and other experienced traders to apply the lessons learned in real market conditions. During live trading sessions, instructors share their screens, walk through setups, and trade in real time, demonstrating how to apply the concepts taught in the course.

Yes, group mentoring is a critical part of the Convergent Accelerator Program. In addition to self-study modules, you will have weekly Ask Me Anything Coaching Sessions where you can ask us for guidance and feedback.

The weekly live AMA (Ask Me Anything) Coaching Sessions run for two hours and allow participants to ask questions and clarify topics from the current week’s lessons, with FuturesTrader71 and CT’s Head Trader, John471, providing personalized responses in a group mentoring environment.

Yes, our weekly AMA sessions offer traders the opportunity to ask questions and have their work reviewed by FuturesTrader71 and John471. Traders will also join an exclusive Discord channel for their Accelerator Program Cohort, providing support and guidance from you peers as well as FT71 and John471. 

The course emphasizes error detection and how emotional capital impacts your trading. Rather than focusing on controlling emotions, the program teaches you how to reduce errors that lead to emotional volatility, making your trading more consistent. The included Community Membership also provides lots of tools and resources to help work on your trading mindset.

The program focuses on a process-driven approach, helping traders identify their edge, develop discipline, and reduce errors that hinder consistent profitability.

The final week of the program consists of the Live Intensive Week, with daily live events, including Trade Execution Labs and Skills Workshops. These are designed to help traders put the self-study material into practice, with Trade Execution Labs each morning from 9:00am – 11:30am ET, and Skills Workshops each afternoon, from 12:30 – 2:30pm ET.

You don’t need a specific platform to join the Accelerator Program. What matters most is having charting software that can clearly display intraday volume profile charts. Many of our members use platforms like Sierra Chart, Investor/RT, CT Bookmap, EdgeProX, MotiveWave, NinjaTrader, Jigsaw Trading, and others—so you’re in good company, whatever you choose.

No, live trading is optional, and not required during the program. We suggest you focus on learning the material and building confidence before executing live trades. Simulation trading is encouraged during the program to help you practice what you’ve learned without financial risk. You can choose to trade once you’re confident in the plan you develop during, or after, the program.

If you choose to trade live, there’s no specific account size requirement. The program focuses on developing a structured approach to trading. If you’re new, you may want to start with smaller contracts, like micros, to gain experience.

Absolutely! While many of the traders participating in the Accelerator Program are focused on day trading, the fundamental lessons, skills and processes we teach will allow traders to develop a tailored approach to the markets. By applying what you learn in the program, you’ll be well-equipped to develop setups that fit your plan – whether that’s day trading or swing trading. 

You can put your newly honed trading skills and process into action and take control of you trading journey! Participants also gain six months of continued access to Convergent Trading resources, including group mentoring sessions, to help solidify their learning and support ongoing development.

Once you enroll, you get six months of access to the Convergent Trading Community. As an Accelerator Program graduate, this includes extended access to the course, allowing you to revisit lessons as needed during that time. Traders might choose to take the course again at a different stage of their trading journey, as they may take away different points and benefits as a newcomer, vs. experienced trader looking to refine their approach.

Absolutely. The Convergent Accelerator Program connects you to a community of like-minded traders through Discord and live trading sessions. This provides a supportive environment to share experiences, ask questions, and stay motivated. You’ll also love our Community, where you can connect with traders, engage in the Live Trading Chat and find an Accountability Partner.
