Courses covering chart reading
- Reading Candlestick ChartsThe candlestick is the densest way ever devised to show a period of trading: four prices and a balance of power in one glyph. This course teaches you to read one at a glance, and to recognise the handful of formations that genuinely carry information.
Lessons on chart reading
- The Anatomy of a CandlestickBy the end of this lesson you will be able to look at any single candle and describe what happened during that period — where price opened, how far it stretched in each direction,…

About these chart reading lessons
This page collects everything in the FX Terminal Academy that deals with chart reading: 4 lessons and 1 course. The list is generated from the lessons themselves rather than maintained by hand, so it stays complete as the Academy grows.
Every lesson is free to read in full. Each one ends with a short quiz and links into the FX Terminal screen that applies it, so an idea can be checked against live market data instead of staying on the page. No account is needed to read; signing in only saves your progress and issues the completion certificate.
Where to start
If chart reading is new to you, start with the course listed above rather than a single lesson — a course orders its lessons so each one builds on the last. Use the lesson list when you already know which idea you want and would rather go straight to it.
Nothing here is investment advice. The Academy explains how the market works and how to read the data behind it; it does not issue signals or tell you what to trade.
Common questions
Are these chart reading lessons free?
- Yes, all of them, in full. There is no paywall, no trial and no card required, and the live terminal screens the lessons link to are free as well.
Do I need an account to read them?
- No. An account is free and optional — it exists only to remember which lessons you have finished, carry that across devices, and issue a certificate when you complete a course.
Is a course better than reading the lessons individually?
- For a subject you are new to, yes: a course orders its lessons so each one builds on the last. Read a single lesson when you already know which idea you want.
