TCP Loyalty
Show proof of 50 purchases made with eligible TrueCostProp codes or partner links and, after we review the proofs by hand, we will email you the full zero-to-pro Order Flow course — the complete TCP path materials plus bonus files — once that packaged course is ready.
This public video path stays free for everyone. Written Academy lessons are already free to read. The loyalty reward is extra materials delivered by email after approval. It is not a cash rebate and it does not change any partner’s checkout price. We do not promise a calendar date.
- Keep a receipt or order-confirmation screenshot for each purchase. Crop out card numbers, CVV codes, passwords and full account numbers. We only need the merchant, date, amount, and that a TCP code or partner link was used.
- Email the proofs to [email protected] with the subject line
TCP Rewards proof. For general site questions you can also write to [email protected]. There is no upload form on this site. - We review proofs manually and may check them against a partner dashboard. Refunded, charged-back, duplicate or self-referred orders do not count.
Only some partners’ affiliate terms allow a purchase-tied educational reward. FundedNext remains our first recommended futures partner (#ad), but FundedNext purchases do not count toward this reward unless they authorise it in writing. The full eligible list and terms live on the TCP Rewards page — read that before you send proofs.

External lessons by ATAS
Learn the ATAS platform from ATAS
Free lessons published by ATAS on their own channels. They open on ATAS's YouTube channel or learning center. Created by ATAS, not TrueCostProp. We picked them by title and topic and added a short exercise for each. Links checked 2026-11-08.

Two focused learning tracks
Read a complete explanation, work through a hypothetical example, then test yourself before revealing the reasoned answer. Start with price structure if you are new; keep execution data and options models separate.
Seven original written lessons with exercises and answers. They are educational readings, not a completed video academy or a validated trading system. Education only — not trade signals or financial advice.
1 · ICT / SMC foundations
Focused price structure, possible liquidity areas and invalidation. These labels do not reveal institutional intent or guarantee an edge. Complete in order.
- Read structure without hindsight — 484 words, worked example and answers.
- Liquidity hypotheses and failed breaks — 446 words, worked example and answers.
- Imbalance labels: define, test, invalidate — 446 words, worked example and answers.
2 · Order Flow, then Option Flow
A. Order Flow: executed trades and context
Read price/delta first, then profile/VWAP. Aggressive volume is not the same as future direction.
- Read price before delta — 1868 words, worked example and answers.
- Volume profile and VWAP: build context — 450 words, worked example and answers.
B. Option Flow: positions and conditional models
Prerequisites: both Order Flow units and the difference between execution delta and option delta. Options context is optional, not an entry system.
- Options, open interest and Greeks — 491 words, worked example and answers.
- GEX: hedge mechanics and a data-admission audit — 545 words, worked example and answers.
- Option Flow video track — official TradeGEX Academy + Strategies and ATAS options tutorials, mapped to the steps above.
Keep learning separate from buying
The seven readings above are fully readable on-site and include their exercises and answers. They are not locked previews. Prop-risk foundations remain free. The existing six-chapter paid v1 Blueprint is a different delivered product; these new written drafts do not claim new video chapters or alter buyer entitlements.
Optional outside references and rights
These are external references, not partners or permissions to copy: Noam Antar: advertised free beginner course (registration/playback not verified here); Lior Amrani: public knowledge hub; advertised free risk lesson (video playback not tested). Their paid academies are not included. No third-party scripts, media, translations or proprietary teaching systems were copied. Public availability does not grant republication rights.
