Academy
From the deskHow to trade forex signals, from the first message to a managed account
Guides in four modules, written by the desk that posts the signals: what to do before the first trade, how to manage one, how to judge the result, and the optional routes. Each guide states what you will be able to do, gives the short answer first, and ends with a paper exercise. The scope is following and evaluating signals, not a complete trading education.
