Academy

Learn the mechanics before the strategy

Most losses are not caused by picking the wrong direction. They are caused by position sizes that were never survivable. We teach that part first, and we teach it for free.

Learning paths

Three stages, in order

Work through them in sequence. Each one assumes you finished the one before it.

≈ 2 hours

Stage 1

Foundation

What a currency pair actually represents, how a broker makes money, and why the spread is the first thing that happens to your account.

Pairs, pips and lot sizes
Bid, ask and the spread
Margin and free margin
Reading an order ticket

≈ 3 hours

Stage 2

Risk first

The part most courses put last. How to size a position from your stop distance, and what a run of losses does to an account arithmetically.

Position sizing from risk
Stop placement that respects structure
Drawdown maths and recovery
Correlation between open trades

≈ 4 hours

Stage 3

Execution

Turning a view into an order, and keeping a record honest enough to learn from six months later.

Order types and when each fits
Slippage, gaps and news events
Journalling trades usefully
Reviewing a month of results

Glossary

Plain definitions for the terms the industry uses to sound complicated.

Glossary

Terms, defined plainly

Pip: The smallest standard price increment for a pair. One pip is 0.0001 on most pairs and 0.01 on JPY crosses.
Spread: The gap between the bid and the ask. It is a cost you pay the moment a position opens, before the market moves at all.
Leverage: Borrowed exposure. At 1:100, a 1% adverse move consumes the whole margin committed to that position.
Margin call: The point at which your equity no longer supports your open positions and the broker may close them for you.
Drawdown: The fall from a peak in your equity to the lowest point that follows, usually expressed as a percentage.
Swap: The financing charge or credit applied for holding a position overnight, based on the interest differential.
Slippage: The difference between the price you expected and the price you were filled at, common in fast markets.
Lot: A standard contract unit. One standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency; a micro lot is 1,000.
