320 trading lessons, free
The full curriculum from inside the MarketPro app: 16 categories from what a pip is to how liquidity gets taken, 12 guided paths that put them in a sensible order, and a quiz on every one. Start reading here, finish in the app.
- ✓ 320 lessons
- ✓ 12 guided paths
- ✓ Free on every account
- ✓ Quizzes and progress in the app
The academy is the teaching half of MarketPro, and it is free on every account, including free ones. 320 lessons across 16 categories, each a few minutes long, each with a quiz. This site publishes the opening of every lesson so you can read before you install; the rest, the quizzes and your progress are in the app.
Key takeaways
- Signals tell you what. The academy is where the why lives, and the why is the part that compounds.
- Risk management is the highest-leverage category here and the least popular. Start there if you have traded before.
- Every category is cross-linked to a free calculator on this site, so the arithmetic is one click away.
- The app adds quizzes, XP and streaks on the same material. Free, with no lesson cap.
Where to start
If you are new, read forex basics in order, then risk management. That second one decides whether the first ever pays for itself, and almost nobody reads it first.
If you have traded before and want the gap in your game rather than the curriculum, trading psychology and trade journaling are where most self-taught traders are thinnest. If you want the advanced material, smart money concepts is the deep end.
Prefer one long read to a curriculum? The six long-form guides cover the same ground in essay form, free and unlocked, with no app needed.
All 16 categories
Forex basics
24 lessons. Everything the rest of the academy assumes you already know. What a currency pair actually is, what a pip is worth, how leverage and margin interact, and why the spread is the first cost of every trade.
24 lessonsTechnical analysis
26 lessons. The visual vocabulary of trading. How a candle encodes four prices, why a level matters only when it has been tested, and what a moving average is actually telling you.
26 lessonsRisk management
22 lessons. The least popular subject in trading and the one that decides outcomes. Every lesson here is arithmetic, which is what makes the rules non-negotiable rather than a matter of style.
22 lessonsTrading psychology
20 lessons. Most trading mistakes are not analytical. They are a known rule broken under pressure, which is a different problem and needs a different fix.
20 lessonsCrypto trading
20 lessons. Crypto rewards the same discipline as any other market and punishes its absence faster. These lessons cover what genuinely differs, not what is merely louder.
20 lessonsSmart money concepts
22 lessons. A framework built around where resting orders sit and what price has to do to reach them. Useful, frequently over-claimed, and worth learning from a sceptical starting point.
22 lessonsChart patterns
22 lessons. Every pattern here is a shorthand for a supply and demand situation. Learning the shape is the easy half; learning what invalidates it is the half that matters.
22 lessonsTrading strategies
24 lessons. Four or five real approaches exist, and each one needs a specific market condition. Most strategy failure is a good method applied in the wrong conditions.
24 lessonsCommodities and indices
16 lessons. Gold and the major indices behave differently enough from currency pairs that a forex-tuned method often breaks on them. This is what changes.
16 lessonsTrading indicators
22 lessons. Every indicator is a transformation of price and volume that you could compute by hand. Knowing the formula is what tells you when the output is meaningless.
22 lessonsFundamental analysis
24 lessons. Charts show what happened. Rate expectations, growth and inflation explain why, and they are what turns a technical setup into a reason.
24 lessonsEconomic calendar and news
16 lessons. The calendar is the one genuinely predictable thing in trading: you know exactly when volatility is scheduled. What you do with that is the skill.
16 lessonsStock market basics
18 lessons. Owning a share is owning a claim on a business. Most of the vocabulary around stocks follows from that one fact.
18 lessonsOrders and execution
16 lessons. The gap between the trade you intended and the trade you got is execution. It is invisible until it costs you, and then it is the only thing that mattered.
16 lessonsTrade journaling and review
14 lessons. Without a journal, a hundred trades teach you almost nothing. With one, they tell you exactly which setup is carrying you and which is bleeding.
14 lessonsBuilding a trading plan
14 lessons. A trading plan is a decision made in advance, in writing, while you are calm. That is its entire value, and it is why it has to be specific.
14 lessons12 paths, in a deliberate order
A path crosses categories. It is how the app sequences the material, and how most people should read it.

10 lessons · 10 minWhat the app adds
The lessons here are the same text the app ships. What the app adds is everything around them: a quiz after each one, XP and a streak so a few minutes a day becomes a habit, your place kept in each path, and the glossary one tap from any screen.
It is free on every account with no lesson cap, which is the whole point. Education is not the thing MarketPro sells. Live signals are, and every signal states its setup type and timeframe so the feed and the curriculum reinforce each other instead of competing.
