Corellian Academy

Informed and Successful Trading is Within Your Reach

A structured programme led by mentors who have traded the markets they teach.

What the Academy is, and what it is not

The Corellian Academy is a structured trader-education programme designed for serious learners. It is built around mentors with decades of practical experience in the markets they teach, and around a clear progression from market intelligence and analysis through to applied trading capability.

It is not a signal service. It is not a motivational programme. It is not a funnel into a broker. We do not promise returns, we do not promote shortcuts, and we do not teach formulas. We teach method. The work is rigorous, the standards are honest, and the progression is yours to make.

Mentors who have traded the markets they teach

Chris Ashton

Mentor, Corellian Academy

Chris Ashton brings several decades of senior experience across global currency markets, having held trading and risk-management responsibilities at leading institutions through periods of significant market dislocation. His career has spanned tactical short-horizon trading, structural macro positioning and the design of execution frameworks for institutional capital.

Within the Academy, Chris leads on the integration of market structure, behavioural discipline and risk sizing, the elements that, in his view, separate competent traders from consistently profitable ones. His teaching emphasises judgement over rules, and the cultivation of conviction without arrogance.

He is a long-standing advocate for structured education in financial markets, and has mentored junior traders across both buy-side and sell-side environments. His sessions are characterised by directness, real examples drawn from his own desk experience, and a focus on the practical decisions traders actually make under pressure.

Chris’s contribution to the Academy is anchored in the belief that the gap between knowing and doing is closed only through deliberate practice, framed by rigorous review.

Richard Adcock

Mentor, Corellian Academy

Richard Adcock brings extensive experience in technical analysis and market structure, having spent his career applying systematic frameworks to currency, rates and broader risk markets. His work has supported trading and investment decisions for institutional clients across multiple market cycles, including environments where prevailing assumptions broke down.

Within the Academy, Richard leads on technical analysis as a working discipline rather than a collection of patterns. His teaching emphasises the construction of repeatable frameworks, the calibration of those frameworks against changing market regimes, and the integration of technical work with the broader macro and fundamental picture.

He is a measured and methodical teacher, known for translating complex analytical work into clear, executable steps. His sessions move learners from the descriptive to the diagnostic, from “what is the market doing” to “what does the market doing this imply for what I should consider next”.

Richard’s contribution to the Academy reflects his conviction that technical analysis is most valuable not as a forecasting tool, but as a structured way of asking better questions.

Maurice Pomery

Mentor, Corellian Academy

Maurice Pomery brings deep experience in macro and fundamental analysis, having spent his career interpreting the economic, political and policy forces that shape currency, rates and broader risk markets. His commentary and analysis have been read by institutional clients across global financial markets through some of the most consequential macro environments of recent decades.

Within the Academy, Maurice leads on macro and fundamental work, building, in learners, the capacity to read what is actually moving markets and to translate that reading into views with practical trading implications. His teaching emphasises clarity of thought, source discipline, and the cultivation of independent judgement.

He is a candid and unhurried teacher, known for cutting through noise to the underlying drivers, and for resisting the false confidence that often surrounds macro narratives. His sessions address what to read, how to read it, and how to know when consensus is leading or lagging.

Maurice’s contribution to the Academy is informed by his long-held conviction that good trading requires good thinking.

What you will study

Four working disciplines

Market Intelligence

The disciplined gathering, filtering and interpretation of market information, what to follow, why, and what to ignore.

Macro and Fundamental Analysis

The economic, political and policy forces that shape currency, rates and broader risk markets, read with judgement, applied with humility.

Technical Analysis

Repeatable frameworks for reading price and structure, built as working templates, refined against live markets, integrated with macro context.

Trading Education

Position sizing, risk management, behavioural discipline, and the practice of decision-making under pressure, turning analysis into outcomes.

What we publish

The Academy in practice

Real Time Analysis

Live, considered analysis as markets move. We publish what is changing, what it implies, and where the risks now sit, without filler, without alarm.

Macro Intelligence

A structured view of the macro forces shaping currency, rates and risk appetite. Considered, not breathless. Designed to inform thoughtful decisions.

Technical Analysis

Rigorous reads of price and structure across the major currency pairs and adjacent markets. Charts annotated with intent, frameworks explained in plain language.

Morning Meeting

A daily cadence anchor. The themes, levels and risks our team is watching at the start of the trading day, written for working traders, read in minutes.

Webinars

Live sessions led by Academy mentors, focused on specific market conditions, themes or analytical techniques. Recordings made available for review.

Education

The structured Academy programme itself, modular, mentor-led, and built around a clear progression from market intelligence and analysis through to applied trading capability.

What you will be able to do

By the end of the Academy programme, learners will be able to read the macro environment with informed judgement, apply consistent technical frameworks to the currency pairs and markets they trade, size and manage risk with discipline, and make trading decisions anchored to clear theses rather than to mood. Beyond technique, learners will leave with a sustainable practice, habits of preparation, review and self-honesty, that compounds over the long horizon their development requires.
