8 Chapters • 38 LessonsDuration between 4 and 360 hours (you decide)

Chapter 1See details

Foundations of the Forex Market

  • Lesson 1 • What Is the Forex Market

    Defines currency trading, its global scale, and decentralised structure. Establishes the conceptual baseline for all subsequent market analysis.

  • Lesson 2 • Global Trading Sessions

    Maps the four major trading sessions and their overlapping hours. Session timing directly affects volatility and trading opportunity selection.

  • Lesson 3 • Pips, Lots, and Trade Size

    Introduces the units of measurement used in forex trading. Mastery of these units is required before any position sizing or risk calculation.

  • Lesson 4 • Currency Pairs and Quotation

    Explains base and quote currencies, pair categories, and how prices are expressed. Accurate quote reading is essential for every trade calculation.

  • Lesson 5 • Market Participants and Their Roles

    Identifies the major actors driving price movement. Understanding participant motives explains why prices move in predictable patterns.

Trading Platforms and Order Execution

  • Lesson 1 • Navigating a Trading Platform

    Covers the core interface elements of a retail trading platform. Familiarity with the platform is a prerequisite for executing any live or practice trade.

  • Lesson 2 • Leverage and Margin Explained

    Defines leverage ratios, margin requirements, and margin calls. Misunderstanding leverage is the leading cause of rapid account depletion.

  • Lesson 3 • Demo vs. Live Trading Accounts

    Compares practice and funded accounts across execution, psychology, and cost. Structured demo use accelerates skill transfer to live conditions.

  • Lesson 4 • Types of Orders

    Distinguishes market, limit, stop, and conditional orders. Choosing the correct order type determines entry precision and risk exposure.

Chapter 3See details

Technical Analysis Fundamentals

  • Lesson 1 • Reading Price Charts

    Introduces candlestick, bar, and line charts and the information each encodes. Chart literacy is the foundation of all technical trade decisions.

  • Lesson 2 • Core Technical Indicators

    Surveys moving averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Indicators confirm price action signals and filter low-quality trade setups.

  • Lesson 3 • Trend Identification and Structure

    Defines uptrends, downtrends, and ranges using price structure. Trend alignment is the primary filter for trade direction in technical strategies.

  • Lesson 4 • Support and Resistance Levels

    Teaches identification of horizontal and dynamic price barriers. These levels define entry, exit, and stop-loss placement in most technical strategies.

  • Lesson 5 • Chart Patterns and Their Signals

    Covers continuation and reversal patterns with statistical context. Pattern recognition accelerates setup identification across all timeframes.

Chapter 4See details

Candlestick Patterns and Price Action

  • Lesson 1 • Single Candlestick Signals

    Analyses doji, hammer, shooting star, and engulfing candles. Single-candle signals provide the earliest warning of potential reversals or continuations.

  • Lesson 2 • Context and Confluence in Price Action

    Teaches how to filter signals using trend, level, and timeframe context. Confluence dramatically improves the reliability of any candlestick signal.

  • Lesson 3 • Price Action Entry Techniques

    Translates candlestick signals into precise entry triggers. Combining signal candles with key levels produces high-probability, low-risk entries.

  • Lesson 4 • Multi-Candle Reversal Patterns

    Covers engulfing patterns, morning and evening stars, and three-candle sequences. Multi-candle confirmation reduces false signals at key price levels.

Chapter 5See details

Fundamental Analysis for Forex

  • Lesson 1 • Combining Fundamentals with Technicals

    Demonstrates how macro bias filters technical setups for higher conviction. Alignment of both analysis types produces the strongest trade opportunities.

  • Lesson 2 • Central Bank Policy and Interest Rates

    Explains how rate decisions and forward guidance move currency pairs. Central bank divergence is the most reliable long-term directional driver.

  • Lesson 3 • Macroeconomic Drivers of Currency Value

    Links GDP, inflation, employment, and trade balance to currency strength. Macro awareness prevents trading against powerful fundamental forces.

  • Lesson 4 • Reading the Economic Calendar

    Guides students through high-impact event identification and release timing. Calendar awareness prevents accidental exposure during volatile news windows.

  • Lesson 5 • Sentiment and Market Psychology

    Introduces risk-on and risk-off sentiment cycles and their currency effects. Sentiment shifts often precede technical breakouts by hours or days.

Chapter 6See details

Risk Management and Trade Planning

  • Lesson 1 • Position Sizing Methods

    Teaches pip-based and percentage-based position sizing formulas. Correct sizing ensures that a stop-loss hit never exceeds the predefined risk amount.

  • Lesson 2 • Reward-to-Risk and Trade Expectancy

    Defines minimum reward-to-risk ratios and calculates system expectancy. A positive expectancy system is profitable even with a sub-50% win rate.

  • Lesson 3 • Core Principles of Risk Management

    Establishes the mathematical and psychological case for strict risk control. Consistent risk management is the single greatest predictor of long-term survival.

  • Lesson 4 • Building a Trade Plan

    Structures a complete pre-trade checklist covering entry, stop, target, and size. A written trade plan eliminates impulsive decisions in live market conditions.

  • Lesson 5 • Stop-Loss Placement Strategies

    Covers structural, volatility-based, and time-based stop methods. Stop placement must reflect market structure, not arbitrary pip distances.

Chapter 7See details

Trading Strategies and System Building

  • Lesson 1 • Backtesting and Forward Testing

    Teaches manual and software-assisted backtesting methodology. Rigorous testing reveals a strategy's edge before any real capital is committed.

  • Lesson 2 • Range and Mean-Reversion Strategies

    Builds strategies for sideways markets using oscillators and level bounces. Range strategies complement trend systems by capturing non-trending conditions.

  • Lesson 3 • Strategy Optimisation and Robustness

    Covers parameter optimisation, overfitting risks, and walk-forward analysis. A robust strategy performs consistently across different market conditions and periods.

  • Lesson 4 • Breakout Trading Strategies

    Defines breakout criteria, entry triggers, and false-breakout filters. Breakout strategies capture the high-momentum moves that follow consolidation periods.

  • Lesson 5 • Trend-Following Strategy Design

    Constructs a rules-based trend strategy using moving averages and price structure. Trend following is the most statistically robust approach for retail traders.

Advanced Trading Concepts and Execution

  • Lesson 1 • Multi-Timeframe Analysis

    Integrates higher and lower timeframe analysis into a unified trade decision. Timeframe alignment dramatically increases the probability of a successful trade.

  • Lesson 2 • Correlation and Portfolio Thinking

    Explains currency correlation and its impact on total investment portfolio risk. Ignoring correlation leads to unintended overexposure to a single directional move.

  • Lesson 3 • Advanced Entry and Exit Techniques

    Covers scaling in, partial profit-taking, and breakeven stop management. Sophisticated exit management converts average setups into high-performance trades.

  • Lesson 4 • Performance Review and Continuous Improvement

    Establishes a structured process for analysing trade history and refining the edge. Systematic review transforms experience into measurable skill improvement.

  • Lesson 5 • Order Flow and Market Microstructure

    Introduces liquidity pools, stop clusters, and institutional order flow concepts. Understanding where orders accumulate explains many seemingly random price moves.
