Forex Academy

Learn the mechanics before the money

A path that starts with what a pip actually is, and ends with a written trading plan you can defend. No motivational screenshots, no lamborghinis, no '99% win rate'.

Stage 1

Market mechanics

Currency pairs, base and quote, pips and pipettes, lot sizes, contract specifications, how a bid and an ask create the spread.

Stage 2

Risk and position sizing

Stop placement before entry, fixed-fraction risk, the relationship between drawdown and recovery, and margin versus leverage.

Stage 3

Reading the market

Structure, support and resistance as zones, trend versus range, session behaviour, and where indicators genuinely help.

Stage 4

Journaling and automation

Recording a trade so it can be reviewed, spotting the difference between a broken edge and broken discipline, and what a backtest can and cannot prove.

Courses

Lessons, quizzes and certificates are recorded as data, the same way everything else on this site is.

Honest state — no invented data

No course is published yet

Each course is written, reviewed for accuracy and then published with its lesson list and prerequisites visible before you enrol. A curriculum page with invented lesson titles would tell you nothing true, so this section is empty until the first course is finished.

Build phase: Phase 8 — academy and LMS

Start with the free glossary

What you get for free

The glossary, every calculator, the help centre and all published blog guides are open without an account. Education is not held hostage behind an email gate.

How we teach risk

Every lesson that touches sizing states its assumptions — spread, slippage, leverage, pip convention — because those four variables are where most accounts actually break.

What education is not

It is not advice about what to buy or sell, and completing a course does not make profit likely. Nothing taught here is a substitute for your own judgement and money management.

Course questions

Is the glossary and blog suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes, and it is written for that reader: plain definitions, mechanics before opinions, and no assumed jargon. Where a term depends on a broker convention rather than a fixed rule, the entry says so instead of giving one number that may not match your platform.

Do you teach a strategy that will work?

We teach how markets are quoted, how costs are calculated, how risk is measured and how to read what a backtest can and cannot tell you. No curriculum can make a strategy profitable, and an educator who implies otherwise is selling something else. What we can do is make the arithmetic of a trade legible to you.

Can I practise without risking money?

Yes. Your own broker can open a demo account, which reproduces the platform with simulated funds. It is the right place to learn the software and to test whether you can follow a rule set consistently. Demo conditions are usually more forgiving than live ones, so treat what you observe there as hypothetical.
