About the Advanced level

This level is for traders who can already analyse a chart, read an economic calendar, manage open trades and follow written rules. If you have not covered those yet, work through the Intermediate level first.

By the end you will understand how interest rates, inflation and risk sentiment move currencies and other markets, and how markets have reacted to past shocks. You will be able to compare strategy types, such as breakout and mean-reversion systems, and adapt them when volatility changes. You will know what automated tools can and cannot do, how to backtest an idea in the MT5 Strategy Tester, and what to check before using copy trading. You will also learn to treat trading as a process: a written plan, clear performance measures such as expectancy and maximum drawdown, and regular reviews of your own decisions.

Take the modules in order, because the strategy and business modules draw on the macro module. Every lesson has a worked example and a quick check. Go at your own pace.

Nothing in this level is a trading signal or a recommendation. Backtests and past examples describe what happened, not what will happen.
