Get your certificateNew traders usually come unstuck in the gap between learning and doing: no routine, no checks, real money too soon and too big.
This course closes that gap with tools you keep: a 90-day plan, a pre-trade gate, a practice order ticket, a 30-trade challenge, a journal review and a readiness check. Take Forex Foundations and Risk & Money Management first; Trading Strategies helps too.
