Investors Underground All Courses brings the platform’s separate day-trading programs together in an ordered curriculum built around intraday momentum trading. Founded by Nathan Michaud in 2008, Investors Underground teaches a progression from market fundamentals to reviewing completed trades.

Connecting the pieces of day-trading education

A trader can encounter lessons on subjects such as VWAP or chart patterns without learning how those topics fit into a complete process. The curriculum organizes the platform’s separate programs into a sequence, beginning with market mechanics and moving toward the intraday momentum approach associated with Investors Underground.

That structure connects the study of setups with the decisions involved in planning and executing a trade, rather than treating each topic as a stand-alone idea.

What the trading curriculum covers

The opening material introduces trading fundamentals and market mechanics, including exchange behavior and the role of volume and float in a stock’s intraday range. The curriculum then turns to momentum strategies and technical analysis.

Later sections address risk frameworks and the process of planning and executing trades. Market psychology and discipline receive separate attention, alongside pattern recognition and setup identification.

The final part of the curriculum covers trading journals and performance analysis, adding a review process after the material on finding and executing trades.

Nathan Michaud and the momentum trading focus

Nathan Michaud has traded since 2003 and founded Investors Underground in 2008. He holds a finance degree from the University of New Hampshire.

His primary style is intraday momentum trading, which shapes the curriculum’s focus. The platform’s teaching style draws on examples, including the reasoning behind nightly watchlists and scans, video lessons and trade recaps. Its wider educational output includes several hundred video lessons and recaps.

Who the curriculum suits

The fundamentals provide a starting point for beginners who want an ordered introduction to trading. Intermediate traders can also study the sections on risk management and psychology.

The emphasis is on intraday momentum, but swing traders and self-directed investors who use technical analysis may find the pattern-recognition material applicable to positions held over multiple days.
