This intermediate pathway turns basic knowledge into structured decision-making. You learn to read market regimes, combine technical and fundamental analysis, design discretionary strategies, calculate lots, margin and leverage, place stop-loss and take-profit levels, run manual backtests and organise a trading plan. Each lesson connects analysis with execution quality and money management.
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.
