A complete trading curriculum for stocks, forex, commodities and crypto — from reading a single candle to position sizing, expectancy and the biases that quietly drain accounts. Free to read. No sign-up. Nothing for sale.
No signals, no courses, no subscriptions, no affiliate links, no members area. Just the material, written as clearly as we can manage.
Six tracks that build on each other, from what a price actually is through to expectancy and psychology. Start at guide one, or jump to what you need.
Where the evidence for a technique is weak, we say so. Candlestick patterns, moving-average crossovers and divergence all get an honest assessment.
Every term is explained the first time it appears, with a searchable glossary of 103 definitions for whatever catches you out elsewhere.
Some things are far easier to grasp by moving a slider than by reading a paragraph. Position sizing and the effect of variance are two of them.
About four hours of reading in total. You don't need all of it to start — but you do need the first two tracks.
What a price actually is, who is on the other side of your trade, and how to read a candlestick without over-reading it. Includes an interactive candle you can pull apart.
Support and resistance, market structure, moving averages and momentum — what each tool measures, and the specific situations where each one misleads you.
Reading company accounts, valuing what you trade, and why interest rates move every asset class. Plus how to combine this with the charts instead of picking a side.
Stocks, forex, commodities and crypto behave very differently. Trading hours, what actually drives each one, and the risks specific to each.
Day trading, swing trading and longer horizons — the time each demands, the costs each incurs, and how to pick one that fits your actual life rather than your ambition.
The part that decides whether any of the rest matters. Position sizing, the biases that cost money, keeping a journal that changes behaviour, and setting up your charting platform.
Liquidity follows the working day around the globe. Knowing who is trading is half of intraday timing — and it explains why the same setup behaves differently at different hours.
Windows follow each financial centre's own clock, so they stay correct through daylight-saving changes. Why the overlap matters is in the forex guide.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere.
Work backwards from the loss you can accept to the number of units you should trade. The most useful calculation in trading, and the one most often skipped.
Open calculator →Run 120 simulated careers on one strategy and watch how differently they end. The clearest demonstration of why position size outweighs win rate.
Run the simulation →103 terms defined in plain English, without the circular definitions that send you looking up three more words.
Search the glossary →If you are completely new, these four in this order will do more for your results than any indicator.
Who is on the other side of your trade, how a price is formed, and why the order book decides everything.
What the body, the wicks and the colour actually tell you — with an interactive candle you can pull apart.
The only part of trading you fully control — position sizing, the 1% rule, and why drawdowns are asymmetric.
Loss aversion, revenge trading and the sunk-cost trap — the predictable errors, and the systems that prevent them.
Brokers across the UK and EU are required to publish the share of retail accounts that lose money. The figures sit consistently around 70–80%. Any site suggesting otherwise is selling you something.
We are not going to claim that a pattern, an indicator or a curriculum changes that. What education can realistically do is stop you making the errors that are entirely avoidable — trading far too large, holding losers, chasing news, and having no idea what your actual results are.
That is worth having, and it is free. Whether you go further is your decision to make with your eyes open.
Twenty-five guides, in the order that makes sense. No account, no email address, no cost.
Educational content only. Nothing here is financial advice.
