Forex Foundations

5 / 13 lessons

Module 01

Mechanics of the market

What forex actually is

Free

Video · 08:24

We start at the beginning — currencies, pairs, and why the FX market exists at all. By the end you can explain to a friend what 'going long EUR/USD' really means, and why pension funds care about it.

Pips, points, and lot sizes

Free

Video · 11:42

The vocabulary that confuses every beginner — pip, point, pipette, micro/mini/standard lot. We work through actual numbers so '1 pip on 1 standard lot ≈ $10' becomes intuitive, not memorised.

Bid, ask, spread, slippage

Locked

Video · 09:18

The four numbers your broker shows you, and which one you actually pay. Includes a live look at how spreads widen during news and the London open — and how to spot the brokers gaming it.

Margin & leverage without the marketing

Locked

Video · 14:06

1:500 leverage isn't a feature — it's a risk multiplier. We unpack margin call mechanics, stop-out levels, and the spreadsheet math that decides whether your account survives a 30-pip move against you.

Module 02

Reading a chart

Candle anatomy

Locked

Video · 10:12

Body, wick, open, close — and what each tells you about who's actually in control during that period. We avoid the cargo-cult patterns and focus on what individual candles reveal about supply and demand.

Support & resistance, properly

Locked

Video · 16:48

Drawing S&R isn't 'lines wherever price bounced'. We teach the three rules that turn random lines into actionable zones, with 200+ historical EUR/USD examples backtested against.

Trend versus range

Locked

Video · 12:24

Knowing which regime you're in matters more than the strategy you use. We cover the three structural tells that distinguish trending markets from ranging ones — and why most retail traders confuse the two.

Live EUR/USD walk-through

Locked

Live · 60:00

Live trading session with Aisha — 60 minutes on a real EUR/USD chart, narrating every decision: where she'd enter, why she'd skip a setup, and what the order book tells her. Recorded and added to the course library after.

Module 03

Your first trade plan

Building your trade plan

Locked

Reading · 8 min read

A working trade plan is one page, six fields. Download the template, fill it in for one symbol, and we'll review it in the assignment lesson at the end of this module. No more 'I'll figure it out as I go'.

Defining an entry trigger

Locked

Video · 13:30

An entry trigger is a yes/no question — if your answer wavers, you don't have one. We walk through how to write triggers that are objective enough that a friend could execute your trade for you while you're asleep.

Stops and targets

Locked

Video · 14:55

Stops belong where your thesis is wrong, not where it's painful. Targets belong where the market structure suggests price will stall — not at round numbers. R-multiples, why 1:2 is the floor, and how to size in.

Submit your plan for review

Locked

Assignment · Graded

Submit your filled-out trade plan template for instructor review. Aisha grades against a 4-point rubric (clarity, risk math, entry objectivity, exit objectivity). Most students need one revision — that's expected.
