Trading from A to Z
A free course, from your first order to the ICT method: four levels, in the order the questions come up, every notion on real charts — indices, gold and forex — with its exercise. Nothing to buy to follow it, nothing promised at the end.
Four levels, in the order the questions come up. First understanding what you are doing and on which market, then reading a chart without a method, then the ICT method notion by notion, and finally what makes you last: the plan, the mind, the accounts. Each level assumes the one before.
Every step fits on one page, with a diagram, a real chart — indices, gold or forex, never the Nasdaq alone — and an exercise in FTS Arena to check you can recognise the notion on candles you have never seen.
What this course does not do: promise you a result. A setup’s quality criteria were measured over thousands of trades and none separates the good ones from the bad; everything lands around 50% at 1R. The method gives a frame for reading and a discipline, not a guaranteed edge.

The basics
What trading is, reading a candle, placing an order without getting hurt, getting started, and the markets we trade: futures and forex.
Module 1 · 4 steps
Understanding what you are getting into
What a price actually is, who is on the other side, what a broker earns, and why the leverage handed to you unasked is the first thing to understand.
Module 2 · 4 steps
Reading a chart
The candle, timeframes, what you can see on a chart before having any method at all, and how the movement is counted.
Module 3 · 5 steps
Placing a trade without hurting yourself
Order types, the stop-loss, the only number that matters at the start, why you can be wrong six times out of ten and still win, and what all of it actually costs.
Module 4 · 5 steps
Getting started
Which market to choose, the three tools that are enough, the journal nobody keeps, what actually makes beginners fail, and your first month week by week.
Module 5 · 8 steps
The markets we trade
Indices, gold, forex: what really sets them apart. The futures contract and the currency pair, choosing your own, sizing in contracts and in lots, the hours when price moves, the releases that shake it, and the platform where it all happens.
Level 2
Reading price
Highs and lows, trend or range, support and resistance, several timeframes, volatility: reading a chart before any method.
Level 3
The ICT method
Structure, liquidity, zones, time, then a model assembled on real sessions, losing ones included.
Module 7 · 5 steps
Structure
The first module of the ICT method picks up where classical analysis stopped: the swing highs and swing lows that count, the break that confirms a trend, the one that challenges it, the move that shows intent, and the candle that signals the change earliest.
Module 8 · 5 steps
Liquidity
The second module of the ICT method looks at what sits around the swings that count: resting orders. Where they are, why price goes for them, how it takes them, and how to draw the session’s target from them.
Module 9 · 5 steps
Zones
The third module of the ICT method looks for where to enter: at what price within the leg, in which zone the move left behind — the FVG, the order block, the zone that switches sides — and at what level of the pullback.
Module 10 · 4 steps
Time
The fourth module of the ICT method adds the clock to the first three: which session you are looking at, which windows you search in, and how ICT tells the story of a day, from the night’s range to the false start at the open.
Module 11 · 6 steps
Building a model
The fifth and last module of the ICT method puts the four before it together into one reading: a bias, a target, a zone and an hour, then an entry with its stop. Applied to real sessions, losing ones included, and set against what the site has measured.
Level 4
The craft
What makes you last: a written plan, psychology, managing an open trade, the journal, prop firms. Each step points to the site’s everyday tools.
