About the Intermediate level

This level is for traders who know the basics and want a fuller toolkit. You should already be comfortable with what a CFD is, leverage and margin, pips and position sizing, and placing orders in MetaTrader 5 (MT5). If any of that is new, start with the Beginner level.

By the end you will be able to analyse a chart using price structure and indicators, and read an economic calendar to see which releases and central bank decisions can move a market. You will know how to manage a trade once it is open, with pending orders, trailing stops, partial closes and break-even stops. You will also understand the less obvious risks, such as correlated positions and trading around news, and you will have written your own trading rules and started a trading journal.

Take the modules in order: the two technical analysis modules come first, then fundamentals, then the practical modules on MT5, trade management and psychology. Every lesson has a worked example and a quick check, and the practical lessons end with a task to try on a demo account. Go at your own pace.

When you finish, move on to the Advanced level.
