Course overview
Forex is easy to access and difficult to approach responsibly. This course begins with the mechanics that are often skipped: what is being exchanged, how quotes move, what position size means, and why leverage changes exposure rather than skill.
The final module turns those mechanics into a simple operating routine. You will leave with vocabulary, calculation steps, and review questions that can be practised on historical charts or a demo account before risking capital.
How to use this course
Work through the lessons in order. Complete each practice exercise in your own notes, and do not rush into a live account. The goal is to understand the process well enough to explain it without relying on memorised slogans.
