Forex Academy
Structured learning paths from fundamentals to price action, risk management and automated trading.
Strategy, Trust & Excellence
Trade Smarter. Manage Risk. Build Consistency.
A complete Forex platform: structured education, free trading calculators, MT4/MT5 Expert Advisor licences with real licence management, and tools built around risk control rather than promises.
We sell software licences, education and subscription services. We do not hold client money and we never guarantee profit. Risk disclosure
Honest state — no invented data
No live price feed is connected
Quotes and spreads change per broker, so we show nothing rather than stale numbers pretending to be live. When a paid quote provider is configured, the strip appears here with its timestamp and source labelled.
Build phase: Open decision R5 — quote provider
Use the calculators instead (no live prices needed)The IDEAL FOREX ecosystem
Six connected parts. Each one is useful on its own; together they are the workflow.
Trading Robots
MT4/MT5 Expert Advisors with published specifications, test methodology, versions and licence control.
Trading Signals
Forex and Gold analysis with a full lifecycle — every closed trade counted, wins and losses alike. (Release 2)
Trading Tools
Twelve calculators that work without an account, from position size to risk of ruin.
Trading Community
Members, discussions and moderated chart analysis. (Release 5)
AI Trading Coach
Educational assistance on concepts and your own journal data — never trade execution, never price predictions. (Release 6)
Trading robots
Every listing publishes its instruments, timeframe, broker assumptions and how any figure was produced.
Honest state — no invented data
No robot is published yet
A product page only appears once a robot row exists with its specifications and licence terms recorded. We will not list an Expert Advisor we have not documented.
Build phase: Phase 6 — robot marketplace
Forex signals
Full lifecycle, not screenshots
Entry, stop loss, take profit, updates, close and result — with invalidation and slippage stated. Closed trades are counted whether they won or lost.
How signals workGold · XAUUSD
Session context and pip convention
Gold quoting conventions differ by broker, so the assumed pip value is stated beside every figure rather than hidden in a formula.
Gold analysisFree trading calculators
Twelve tools. No account, no email, no gate. Each shows the formula and the assumptions it used.
Position size
Balance, risk percentage and stop distance in, lot size out — floored to the broker's minimum step.
OpenPip value
Per-lot value in the quote currency, converted only when you supply the rate yourself.
OpenRisk / reward
Entry, stop and target with the ratio and both outcomes stated in money.
OpenForex Academy
Learn the mechanics before the money
Structured paths from pip arithmetic and leverage through risk management, journaling and what a backtest can and cannot tell you. Course content is written and reviewed before it is published — nothing is filler.

A record must be built from trades we actually recorded, with every closed trade counted — including losers and invalidated calls. Until that ledger has rows, this page shows nothing rather than a curated highlight.

Backtesting, Forward Testing, and Why the Two Answers Differ
A backtest and a forward test usually disagree, and the gap between them is information rather than an annoyance. What each can honestly tell you, how over-optimisation flatters the first, and why a demo account is closer than a backtest but still not live.

Before You Buy an Expert Advisor, Ask These Questions
An Expert Advisor is software that applies rules without hesitating, which is useful and dangerous in the same breath. Thirteen questions worth asking of any automated system before money changes hands, and the answers that should end the conversation.

Drawdown Is Not Symmetrical: Why Recovering a Loss Costs More
Losing ten percent takes one trade; recovering it takes an eleven and a half percent gain. The mathematics of recovery, why deep drawdowns change behaviour, and the four habits that turn an ordinary losing run into an account-threatening one.
OpenFrequently asked questions
What does IDEAL FOREX actually sell?
Three things: software licences for MetaTrader Expert Advisors, educational material, and subscription services where offered. Everything else on the site is free to use without an account. We do not sell trading profits, and we do not claim to.
Do you hold or manage my money?
No. We never accept client investment capital, we do not hold client funds, and we do not trade on your behalf. Your trading capital stays with your own broker under your own agreement with them. Money you pay us is payment for a licence or a subscription, nothing more.
Are you a broker, and can you open an account for me?
We are not a broker and we do not open, fund or intermediate brokerage accounts. You choose and contract with a broker yourself. We are happy to explain what to look for in a specification or an execution arrangement, but the account relationship is between you and the broker.
Do you give trading advice or signals I should follow?
We provide education, tools and software. None of it is personal investment advice, and nothing we publish tells you what you should do with your money. Where we publish a market view, it is one reading of one market, prepared without knowledge of your objectives, balance or risk tolerance.
