Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions traders ask most before committing to a strategy.

There is no single best strategy — the right one matches your available time, risk tolerance and personality. Beginners typically start with the Asian Range Breakout or Moving Average Pullback, while advanced traders gravitate to smart-money systems like Order Blocks and Liquidity Sweeps.

You can begin learning with as little as $1,000, but each strategy lists a recommended starting capital that keeps position sizing realistic. Most day-trading systems here assume $3,000–$8,000 so risk-per-trade stays meaningful yet survivable.

A widely accepted guideline is 0.5%–1% of account equity per trade. Use the Risk Calculator below to translate your balance, stop distance and risk percentage into a concrete position size.

Absolutely. Every strategy is tagged with a difficulty level, and the Learning Path guides you from Beginner to Professional in a sensible order so you build durable skills before taking on higher-variance systems.

Frequency depends on the style: scalping systems may produce 20+ trades per week while positional systems trade a handful per month. Quality of execution matters far more than quantity — trade only your defined edge.
