We wait for confluence.
No entry until every condition agrees. The knot has to form on its own.

Method 01 / 03
No entry until every condition agrees. The knot has to form on its own.
Method 02 / 03
Risk first, 1:3 minimum. One trade is never allowed to matter more than the account.
Method 03 / 03
Wins and losses go in the book, in order, with the reason. The book is the edge.
02 / The curriculum
No filler lessons, no recycled theory — the stack builds one layer at a time.
Introduction
Orientation, prerequisites, and how the model is structured before you touch a chart.
Psychology
The mind gets built first. Discipline, patience, and rule-holding under pressure.
Entry Strategy
The execution model — levels, confluence, and the exact triggers for US30 and Gold.
Historical student case studies — not a guarantee, not the product. Individual results vary. Trading involves substantial risk.

FTMO funded · 6+ certificates · under a year
“My experience with Cipher30 has been nothing short of transformational. I've been part of the mentorship for under a year, and in that time I've earned 6+ FTMO certificates. But beyond the results, what stands out the most to me is the personal growth. Cipher30 doesn't just teach you how to trade — it teaches you discipline, patience, and accountability. I've learned that becoming a better trader goes hand in hand with becoming a better person, and that shift in mindset has been one of my biggest breakthroughs. My biggest takeaway is that consistency comes from structure and self-control, not just strategy. Once you understand that, everything starts to change. I would highly recommend Cipher30 to anyone serious about trading and self-improvement. If you're willing to put in the work, the mentorship gives you everything you need to grow — not just in the markets, but in life as well.”

“When I joined Cipher30, it has been one of my best decisions I ever made for my trading journey. The mentorship from Sa'ood has helped me immensely and developed my discipline in taking trades, improving my understanding of the markets and I can trade with confidence. I think my biggest lesson learnt is that consistency and proper risk management really do matter more than chasing quick profits. I would highly recommend Cipher30 to anyone who would love to take their trading journey serious and also learning to trade the right way.”

Cipher30 mentee · Learned to position, not just win
“Honestly, I thought trading was a scam but Cipher30 taught me the basics, and with continued mentorship it gave me a clear understanding of how the market works, how liquid markets are, and where your eyes be focused towards when taking a trade. In this game it's not about just winning, it's about positioning yourself. I recommend Cipher30 to beginner and intermediate traders that need some guidance and someone that's just looking for honesty.”

Cipher30 mentee · Building mindset & discipline
“The Cipher30 mentorship has honestly been such an eye-opening experience for me. The modules are well structured, easy to follow, and packed with valuable information that has helped me develop a much better understanding of not only trading, but also the mindset and psychology required to become successful in the future. I really appreciate how practical the mentorship is. The exercises and lessons have given me things I can genuinely apply to my everyday life, especially when it comes to discipline, patience, consistency, and controlling my emotions. I've learned that success isn't just about knowing what to do, but also about having the right mindset to execute it. I'm extremely grateful for the knowledge and guidance I've received so far, and I'm excited to continue learning, improving, and putting everything I've been taught into practice. I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me with Cipher30.”

About the founder
// saood.md
And I came to change the game.
Trading has a stigma. That it’s a scam. That the “gurus” are frauds. That regular people don’t win. Too much of that is true. I’m here to be the working proof that it isn’t the whole story: a trader who’s funded, paid, and profitable, and a room full of students becoming the same thing.
I dropped out of high school in grade 10 to chase financial freedom. At 16 I was doing whatever I could to get money into an account, teaching myself forex from scratch, and living through the first year every self-taught trader has. A hot first month that told me I’d figured it out, followed by two years of blown accounts, sleepless nights, and stretches where I sat in front of a red screen and quietly wondered if any of this actually works.
I wanted to quit more than once. What kept me at the desk was one thing: financial freedom. The real kind. Being able to buy things without looking at the price. Never having money be a concern. Giving without checking. Doing without thinking. That was the picture I held onto. So I stayed. I studied. I lost. I studied harder.
Everything I teach was earned. My strategy was built and rebuilt over years of back-testing, live-testing, and forward-testing on my own capital. No borrowed frameworks. No repackaged theory. Every rule, every level, every entry pattern survived being wrong before it became a rule.
I got profitable on my own money before I ever touched a prop firm. FTMO was the leverage play. Their capital, my edge. It took five failed challenges before the sixth passed. The strategy didn’t change. My execution did. I stopped treating someone else’s account differently than my own. Same discipline, same psychology, same rules.
Cipher30 exists so no one has to walk this road blind. You get the chef and the recipe. What I know is what you know. No hidden tier. No calls made in private. No premium unlock where the “real edge” lives. The model is on the table. A mentor who hides the good part isn’t a mentor.
Three modules. That’s the whole thing:
01 · Introduction02 · Psychology03 · Entry StrategyPsychology sits before execution by design. Entry rules mean nothing in a mind that can’t hold them. The mind gets built first, then the trigger gets taught. No filler bolted on to look substantial. Everything you need to run the model is inside those three.
The name is from my cybersecurity background: the market is encoded, and a trader’s job is to decode it. Cipher is the hidden logic. 30 is US30, my home pair, the one I built my edge on.
// now to you
You’ve probably blown accounts. Chased signal groups. Quit. Come back. I already know you. That was me. This mentorship isn’t for people who need convincing that trading works. It’s for people who already believe and are tired of learning the hard way alone.
This is built for the ones with a hunger for a better life and the willingness to become someone new. If that’s you, you’ll walk away with a skill that can never be taken from you, and with discipline that shows up in every part of your life, not just when the charts are open. My community already has traders passing FTMO challenges, students on their first funded payouts, and long-timers running trading as a stable second income for years now. You become the proof next.
