Introducing Ratigan Capital, trading education built in public

What this site is, what launches on January 1, 2027, and the rules it holds itself to. No results yet, on purpose.

Ratigan Capital is a free education hub for trading and financial education. It is not a fund, and it does not manage anyone else’s money. The goal is to teach: risk management, written strategies and playbooks, documented research, and the honest story behind sticking to a plan.

Why do this in public

Most trading content online shows the wins and skips the rest. That makes trading look easier than it is and teaches the wrong lessons. Writing everything down where anyone can check it makes it harder to drift from a plan or pretend a lucky outcome was a good decision.

What launches on January 1, 2027

  • Strategies and playbooks with written rules for entries, exits, and risk.
  • Tested results, wins and losses together, each one labeled as a hypothetical backtest, paper trading, or live trading.
  • Research notes that follow a published research standard: data source and dates, sample size, rules, fee and slippage assumptions, in-sample and out-of-sample periods, drawdown, and limitations.

What you will not find here

  • Guaranteed returns, signals to copy, or “get rich” promises. Financial freedom is a learning goal, not a promise.
  • Invented numbers. Until results are verified, pages show empty states instead.

Where to start

The Academy starts with risk management, because that is the part that decides whether anything else matters.
