Bear Flag Training Course
The mirror image. Short the consolidation into the breakdown without flinching.
The Bear Flag course flips the Bull Flag: a down-impulse pole, an up-sloping consolidation, and a breakdown through support. The mechanics are identical; the psychology is harder — shorting into strength feels wrong. Five levels to make it feel automatic.
Quick answer
Bear Flag is a free FundedReady training course with 5 progressive simulator levels. It teaches the setup rules, entry timing, and common mistakes before you risk real or prop firm capital.
- Level 6: Tell institutional distribution from retail panic.
- Level 7: Read the up-sloping consolidation as a failed bounce, not a reversal.
- Level 8: Enter on the break of flag support, not on the flag itself.
- Level 9: Understand why bear flag targets hit faster than bull flag targets.
