A free, full-day seminar in Lusaka. Seven sessions covering financial literacy, market analysis, weekend trading on Deriv synthetics, and the discipline that separates serious traders from gamblers.
If you have a day-job or course-load and want to build trading as a real second income — without quitting first — this seminar is built for you.
Working full-time but want to build a second income stream that fits around your job. Synthetics-led approach makes this practical.
Already entrepreneurial — want to add trading as a parallel skill. Treat it like the business it should be.
Studying or recently graduated, ambitious to build skills that compound. Foundations set early pay off for decades.
Every session is delivered live, with practical exercises and a real Deriv platform walkthrough at the appropriate moment.
The foundation. Income vs expenses, the role of saving and investing, the cost of debt, and why understanding the Kwacha-Dollar relationship matters even if you never trade currencies directly.
Trading as a business. Building a written trading plan, calculating risk per trade, drawdown control, and earning the right to scale up your position size.
Why Deriv synthetic indices are the perfect weekend market. Volatility 75, Boom & Crash, Step Index — the 24/7 markets that work whether you're trading on a Saturday morning or a Tuesday lunch break.
Reading candlestick charts properly, support and resistance, multi-timeframe analysis, and the four indicators you'll actually use day-to-day. No lecture on the 50 you won't.
How to read individual companies. Stocks vs synthetics — the trade-off. Live walkthrough on Deriv MT5 from login to first demo trade.
Diversification in plain English, the core-and-satellite approach, and how to build a Zambian-anchored portfolio with global exposure through Deriv.
The honest conversation about going full-time. Income milestones to hit before you quit. Why most successful retail traders started by trading weekends. The psychology of self-employment. And critically — when NOT to quit your day job.
From registration through Q&A close — the full timeline of 20 June 2026.
No certificates, no funded accounts, no false promises. What you actually take home is more useful than any of those.
Set up live in the room — your own login, ready to practise on synthetics from the moment you walk out.
The rules you commit to: which synthetics, what timeframes, position size, and what triggers entry or exit.
Position-sizing maths so you never risk more than 1–2% of capital on a single trade — survival as a strategy.
A practical Saturday/Sunday session structure that fits around a full-time job or full course load.
Attendance qualifies you to apply for our follow-on programme — multi-week training and one-on-one mentorship.
