Step 1 — Foundations
Start by understanding what you are trading. Work through the market guides for forex, gold, indices and crypto to learn how each market behaves, what drives it and when it is most active.
Step 2 — Risk First
Before you place a single trade, master risk management. Position sizing and stop placement are what keep you in the game long enough for your edge to matter. This step is non-negotiable and comes before any strategy.
Step 3 — Learn Strategies
With risk under control, study repeatable setups. Begin with session-based approaches — the Asian session, the London Breakout and the New York session — then explore the full strategy library to find an approach that fits your schedule and personality.
Step 4 — Build a Routine
Consistent traders follow a routine. Check the economic calendar and market news before each session, journal every trade, and review your results weekly. Use the trading tools to plan positions before you commit capital.
