This is built for traders who already know the basics

Experienced, but inconsistent

Years in the market, but no written plan you actually follow.

Good at entries, need a plan for exits

It’s what happens after you’re in the trade that costs you money.

Tired of reacting

You want a system that tells you what to do next.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

Build your personal trading playbook in four live sessions

The Risk-First Trading Playbook is a repeatable framework for finding, planning, managing, and exiting trades – grounded in the same principles developed from 25 years on Wall Street and used to build CappThesis’ Chart Trades system. You won’t leave with more theory. You’ll leave with a playbook you open before every trade.

"As a professional trader, I rely heavily on fundamental analysis, macro probabilities and technical analysis. From my experience, there is no one better than Frank Cappelleri at technical analysis. I look forward to his market analysis at the beginning of each trading day. What makes Frank unique is his ability to convey the information I need to make informed decisions in a clear, concise and easy to understand manner. CappThesis is the only service I pay for, and it's well worth the cost. Frank is also one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know. Even on days when he is appearing on CNBC, he goes out of his way to be present and available to everyone at CappThesis. Frank is a bright spot in the cut throat world of stock trading, and I highly recommend CappThesis."

FAQ

Do I need to be an active trader?

No. The framework applies whether you hold positions for days, weeks, or months. The focus is building a repeatable decision-making process, not a specific trading style.

No. This cohort teaches a process, not stock picks. We’ll use real-world examples throughout, but the goal is a framework you can apply independently.

No. Familiarity with charts helps, but the focus is on structured decision-making, not advanced technical concepts.

About 1.0-1.5  hours per live session, plus 15-30 minutes of homework between sessions.

All sessions are recorded, and recordings are available shortly after each live session. You’ll still receive the assignments and templates for that session so you can stay on pace with the group.

None required. The playbook framework works with whatever broker or charting platfonm you already use.

No. This cohort is educational. It teaches a process for evaluating and managing trades, not personalized investment advice. All trading involves risk, and you’re responsible for your own decsions.

Yes. You1I build a personalized trading playbook including watchlist criteria, trade planning rules, position sizing guidelines, and a trade review process.

“CappThesis is an absolute standout in the field of technical research. The reason is simple : Frank is an experienced pro dissecting the market each day and placing heavy emphasis on what’s relevant while cutting out noise. His unique blend of top down and bottom up research highlights prevailing patterns and enables risk to be intelligently managed. The best minutes you will spend preparing for each market day will be spent on the CappThesis daily note.
Anthony ChiassonPortfolio Manager, Aurmedis Global Investors

The research pros trust to prep for the trading day.

"In my humble opinion, your service is far and away the best " bang for your buck ". I have subscribed to many services in the past couple of years and none have been as objective, concise and comprehensive as yours. You don't hype, you don't engage in political discourse and you keep the headlines out of your analysis (rumor has it your mentors Shaw and Yamada had black paper on the windows of the war room to maintain objectivity). Thanks again for the services you provide and the opportunity to subscribe to them"
Bob ConklinPrivate Investor

Objective analysis.
No hype, no noise, just process.

"Working with Frank and subscribing to CappThesis has been an incredibly valuable experience. Frank’s technical setups and risk management levels are exceptionally precise, providing a masterclass in how a true Wall Street professional operates. But what truly sets CappThesis apart is Frank himself: his extraordinary transparency, honesty, and genuine willingness to engage and support his members in chat is a rare find in this industry. He doesn't just show you 'what' to trade, but teaches you 'how' to look at market regimes and protect your capital. I highly recommend his research to anyone serious about mastering the markets."

“CappThesis truly keeps me on “the right side of the markets.” Before subscribing, I had little understanding of the true meaning behind that phrase and the added benefits of technical analysis... Now, I am provided with data driven insights that are clear and actionable. Frank’s expert analysis identifies conditions when momentum and trend align, empowering me to confidently ride profitable moves while also signaling when to protect capital.”
Michael RicePrivate Investor

Data-driven signals.
Confident execution.

“I have tried several independent financial research and technical analysis firms in the past few years and I can confidently say that CappThesis has been the most useful to me. Their daily newsletters before the market opening consistently provide reliable information that is objective, concise and spot on. These monthly webinars and videos are essential for any investor and trader who wants to make intelligent decisions based on technical analysis. I read and watch everything religiously and always consult past newsletters, videos and webinars before deciding on a trade. Frank replies to queries promptly and is always helpful. Fees are surprisingly reasonable and it is money well spent considering the information I get out of it, not to mention the resulting gains! In fact, I would go so far as to say that trading and investing without CappThesis and Frank’s advice would be a mistake as you might miss out on valuable technical information. Would highly recommend it.”
Chris D., Hong KongPrivate Investor

Trading without CappThesis means missing the moves that matter.

“I have been following Frank on social media for a couple of years and recently subscribed to CappThesis. I am a huge fan of the Opening look newsletter. I enjoy it with a cup of coffee every morning and am able to focus in on what really matters thanks to the specifics of the note. Frank is great at honing in on the internals and technicals of the major indices, important etfs, and specific stocks. I am a huge fan of his work and am a very happy subscriber. ”

“Many can point to an idea or a trade — that might be the easier part, just the beginning. A chart might look clean from left to right, in hindsight. What it doesn't show you is how many people got trapped along the way. But as they say, 'it's not what you know, it's what you do.' The real skill is what comes after: knowing when to hold, when to add, when to cut, when to walk away. That's where Frank at Cappthesis truly earns his keep. When markets get harder, Frank is there in the moment — filtering the noise, staying calm, present. That kind of support is something I honestly can't put a price on, and it's made a real difference in how I hold up through the hard stretches. If you're serious about your trading, I'd genuinely recommend subscribing to Cappthesis.  ”
T.A.Portfolio Manager

Master the moves that come after the trade

“I am a Portfolio Manager with two decades of experience. I’ve been a CappThesis subscriber for some time, and I’ve found tremendous value in Frank Cappelleri’s work. I read his Opening Look every morning, and it has become one of the first things I turn to for market perspective. Frank has a real talent for cutting through the noise and helping me understand what the charts are actually telling us. The Slack Community has been equally valuable. Whenever I have a question about a price chart, Frank takes the time to provide a detailed, thoughtful analysis—not just an answer, but the reasoning and perspective behind it. I’ve learned a lot from the way he approaches the markets. What I appreciate most is that Frank doesn’t just tell you what he sees—he helps you learn how to see it for yourself. That’s what makes CappThesis such a valuable resource for me.”
Blair BracePortfolio Manager

His analysis consistently provides relevant perspective and helps us cut through the noise to better understand what the markets are telling us each morning. Reading CAPP Thesis is not only money well spent; it is paramount to our success in today’s market environment. ”
