This beginner pathway rebuilds the basics in the right order: where trading comes from, how markets evolved, what is real and what is misleading, how brokers and platforms work, and how a new trader should read prices, costs and risk. The goal is not to push beginners into live trading. The goal is to help them observe, calculate, practise on demo and document every decision before any real exposure.
Educational content only: nothing in this Academy is a recommendation to buy or sell and no return is promised. Exercises should remain in a demo environment until the plan, risk and limits have been validated.
