Foundation

Foundation assumes you know nothing at all, and it does not skip the boring parts. By the end you will understand what you are actually buying when you trade a currency pair, how to read a chart without indicators, how to size a position from a stop, and how to write a plan you can follow. It is the prerequisite for everything else on FXLearn.
