Trade around the news
How central banks, CPI and NFP move currencies and gold, and when to stay out.
Stay disciplined

Inside a lesson
Every lesson follows the same structure, so you always know where you are.
Support & Resistance
- Support is the floor: a price where buyers step in and stop the fall. Resistance is the roof: a price where sellers step in and stop the rise. It is supply and demand, like buying a product at 1 and selling it at 3 because that is where the market stops paying.
- A level needs two touches to exist; the third touch is the trade. The more touches, the more orders are lined up there.
Mark the floor and the roof, wait for the third touch with a confirming candle, and respect breakouts.
Check yourself
How many touches does a level need before you treat it as support or resistance?
Two touches create the level. The third touch with a confirming candle is the setup.

Questions
Is the course really free?
Yes. You only enter your e-mail address. We never ask for payment details to access the course.
I have never traded. Is this for me?
Yes. Course 1 starts at zero: what trading is, how orders work and how to read a candle. If you already trade, jump straight to smart money concepts, risk management or psychology.
Which markets does it cover?
Forex, gold and indices such as the Dow Jones (US30) and the DAX (GER40). Market structure and risk management work the same way across them.
Will this course make me profitable?
No course can promise that, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Trading with leverage is risky and many traders lose money. What the course gives you is a method: how to read the chart, how to limit risk on every trade and how to follow a plan instead of your emotions.
Is this financial advice?
No. The course is education. Decisions about your money and your trades are yours.
