Curriculum

What you'll learn

Six building blocks that take you from zero to placing a planned, risk-managed trade.

Forex basics

Currency pairs, pips, lots, spreads, leverage and the major trading sessions.

MetaTrader 5

Set up MT5, open a demo account, and place orders with stop loss and take profit.

Reading charts

Candlesticks, timeframes, trends, and support and resistance levels.

Risk management

Position sizing, risk per trade and risk-to-reward: the skill that keeps you in the game.

Trading psychology

Discipline, patience, and how to avoid revenge trading and overtrading.

Trading plan & journal

Write clear rules, record every trade, and review your results to improve.

Roadmap

Your learning path

Follow the steps in order. Skipping straight to live trading is the most common and most expensive beginner mistake.

  1. STEP 01

    Understand the market

    What forex is, who trades it, and what moves currency prices.

  2. STEP 02

    Learn the platform

    Get comfortable with MT5 on a free demo account before risking any money.

  3. STEP 03

    Read the chart

    Spot trends and key levels using simple price action.

  4. STEP 04

    Protect your capital

    Decide your risk per trade before you ever think about profit.

  5. STEP 05

    Practice on demo

    Follow a written plan and keep a journal for weeks, not days.

  6. STEP 06

    Start small

    Move to a live account only with money you can afford to lose.

Approach

How the lessons work

Trading is a skill you build slowly. These lessons focus on habits that protect you, not on shortcuts.

Protect your capital first. Profits come second.
  • Risk first

    Every lesson starts with what can go wrong. Protecting your account comes before chasing profit.

  • No hype

    No get-rich-quick promises and no guaranteed signals. Just skills you can practice and measure.

  • Plain language

    Concepts explained simply, with chart examples, so complete beginners can follow along.
