Example card (coal deck)
Front
What does SHINC mean in a charter party laytime clause?
Back
Sundays and holidays included — laytime counts on those days unless excepted elsewhere in the CP.
Every card is Q→A for retrieval practice, not highlight-and-forget.
Why Anki for commodity trading?
A junior on a coal desk hears “Newcastle 6000 NAR”, “Capesize five-port TC”, and “NOR tendered SHINC” in week one. Anki forces retrieval before you forget — the same method used in medical schools, applied to trading vocabulary.
