How it works

6 modules, 20 lessons, about 3hours total. Most lessons end with a short quiz — 70% to pass marks it complete, and your progress saves once you're signed in. It's free, there's no email wall, and you go at your own pace.

An honest note

This is general financial education — not investment advice or a personal recommendation. Investing puts your capital at risk. Anything named is illustrative; do your own research, and speak to a licensed adviser or Steuerberater for decisions specific to you.

Module 1

Are you actually ready?

Investing vs everything else

Before any broker, any ticker, any strategy — the honest check. What investing actually is, whether your finances are ready for it, and whether you are.

Module 3

Build the foundation

Asset classes, diversification, sizing — the boring fundamentals that decide your outcomes

The mental model Nordsight expects you to think in — satellites, asset classes, diversification done right, sizing without going all-in on one ticker.

Module 4

Your first satellite

Pick the theme, set the rules, write it down before clicking

Apply what you've learned. Define your first satellite end-to-end: theme, risk, instruments, entry, target, stop. Then save it as your written commitment.

Module 5

Live with the portfolio

Most outcomes are decided by what you don't do

When to rebalance, when to ignore the noise, when not to trade. The patience problem is the hardest part of investing.

Use Nordsight

You're ready. Here's how the tool helps from here.

Wire your portfolio in (read-only), read the Signals feed, and see what the paid tier adds — then decide whether you actually need it yet.

Specialise

Core course first — then pick your lane.
