What the guides cover

Each guide stays close to the workflow of this platform, from the order ticket to the wallet.

    What changes when you switch from virtual funds to deposited capital.

    Market and limit orders, side, volume and price — the order ticket explained.

  • Reading price charts

    How candles, trends and timeframes work together on a chart.

  • Risk management basics

    Position sizing, stop losses and why surviving a losing streak matters.

  • Copy trading explained

    How following other traders works, and what to check before you start.

  • Deposits, withdrawals and records

    How funding moves through the wallet and where every transaction is recorded.

Start here

A sensible start path

Three steps in order — practise first, size the order before placing it, and understand risk before real funds are involved.

  1. Step 1

    Open a demo account

    Virtual funds, the same platform real trading runs on — learn the workflow with nothing at stake.

  2. Step 2

    Place your first order with the calculator worked out

    Work the numbers out with the calculator before the order ticket is open, so size and price come from a plan rather than a guess.

  3. Step 3

    Learn risk management before using real funds

    Position sizing, stop losses and why surviving a losing streak matters — the material to work through before capital is at stake.

Risk warning: Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and may not be suitable for everyone. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may lose the capital you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Consider your financial situation and risk tolerance before trading.
