Forex trading as a profession.
Most courses treat you like a warning label. This one treats you like an apprentice. Twelve focused lessons, a live-ish interactive widget in every one, and a capstone where you journal your first ten demo trades with R-multiples.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Name 7 major pairs and say what one tick of EURUSD is worth on a 0.01 lot
- Identify the 5 key MT5 panels and place a market order on demo
- Read an OHLC candle and identify which two sessions overlap in real time
- Choose the right order type (market / limit / stop / stop-limit) for any situation
- Compute $ at risk for a given lot size and SL distance
- Explain whether your broker runs netting or hedging and what it means
- Spot a basic trend, range, or breakout on a chart
- Match three common strategies to three market regimes
- Size a position for a defined % risk on any pair
- Describe what an Expert Advisor does and why a clean backtest can still lose live
- Write and keep a one-page personal trading plan
- Run a 5-criteria broker due-diligence checklist
- Journal 10 demo trades with R-multiples and write a self-review
The course is a story, not a list
Each group of lessons builds on the previous one. You're not collecting facts — you're building a craft.
What FX is, where the cockpit is, what you're looking at, and what the verbs are.
The economics of one ticket and how brokers organise your account.
How price is read and what kinds of strategies live in those readings.
Risk engine, automation, your plan, your broker, and 10 journalled demo trades.
