The four courses

Trading guide, 64 lessons: from the basic concepts to risk management and testing your own ideas.
Trading psychology, 20 lessons: why you know what to do and do not do it, and how to change that.
MetaTrader 5 tutorial, 13 lessons: the mobile app, one button at a time.
Master course for experienced traders, 43 lessons: structure, liquidity, sessions and a complete execution model, explained on real charts.

How you study

Each lesson takes a few minutes to read and ends with a quiz: you pass with 80% correct answers. Beginners start from the basics, experienced traders can skip the first modules: the order is recommended, not compulsory.

What you get alongside the courses

The same subscription includes the signals room, the FINANCE PRO indicator, the FX Backtest simulator on real candles and the Finance Link AI assistant, which you can ask about the lessons.

Who it is for

Beginners who want to understand what happens on a chart before risking real money, and traders who already trade but without a written method. No prior knowledge is needed: technical terms are explained the first time they appear, and there is a glossary of the terms that come up everywhere.

The syllabus, module by module

Below is the full list of the modules in the four courses, in the order they are studied, with the number of lessons in each.

Why a written course

A text can be reread, searched and studied at your own pace. Every lesson has examples, tables and figures; in the master course the figures are real gold and index charts, with the zones marked on them. Lessons are available in Italian, English and French.

The certificate

When you complete all the lessons of a course and pass the quizzes you receive the course certificate. It is not a professional qualification or a licence: it certifies that you have completed the course.

Pricing
