FortellThe Academy
Three levels from zero to a fundable record. Lessons unlock in order, quizzes check you actually got it, and the capstone lays out the pass criteria, the measured odds of passing without an edge, and exactly how a funded trader claims their share. Where a number has not been measured on the venue you will trade, the lesson says so rather than borrowing one. Stuck on a term? The glossary has it.

Level 1 · Basics
From zero to your first call, no jargon assumed.
What a prediction market is
Shares that pay $1 if you are right. Prices that are probabilities.
The venue Fortell trades, and the one it does not
Jupiter Forecast, USDC settlement, and why World is off the board.
Reading prices like probabilities
The one mental move that separates traders from gamblers.
Your first calls, and what they cost
Two free practice buys, then a paid challenge. Know the shape before you spend one.

Level 2 · Fundamentals
The math and the microstructure that decide who is left after 100 calls.
Calibration: what a price is claiming
A price is a testable claim about frequency. Test it before you trade against it.
Closing line value: the metric that outruns luck
P&L says what happened. CLV says whether you were right to do it.
Know the venue: how your order actually fills
One AMM, no order book, a stale-quote rule and a cent of friction. The microstructure in plain language.
Bankroll management for binary markets
A real 60% edge still loses four times in ten. The rails are built around that, and so should your sizing be.

Level 3 · Practical
The rails, the honest odds, and what a funded seat actually pays.
Favorites, and the band you are allowed to trade
The classic mispricing is real in some markets. Whether it is real here is unmeasured, and the rails narrow where you can look.
Longshots, and why the band cuts them off
The cheap tail is where variance lives. On Fortell you cannot buy it, and that is deliberate.
Sizing inside the rails
The caps are not advice. They refuse the order, and one of them dominates the rest.
Luck vs skill: what the fscore measures
One trader made $500 on one call. Another made $300 over two hundred. The score can tell them apart.
Capstone: the challenge, the seat and the claim
What you are buying, what decides it, and how the money actually reaches you.
