Strategy — forex lessons and courses

Every free FX Terminal Academy lesson and course on strategy: 2 lessons and 1 course, each with a quiz and a link to the live tool that applies it.

Courses covering strategy

• Building and Testing a StrategyThe gap between "I have an idea" and "I have a strategy" is specification. The gap between "it backtested well" and "it works" is methodology. This course covers both, with particular attention to the ways a test can flatter an idea that has no edge.

Lessons on strategy

• Writing a Strategy DownIf your strategy exists only in your head, it will quietly change shape every time you are uncomfortable. Writing it down is what makes it testable, repeatable, and capable of…
• Backtesting Without Fooling YourselfA backtest is the cheapest way to reject a bad idea and the easiest way to convince yourself of a worthless one. This lesson is about the second problem.

About these strategy lessons

This page collects everything in the FX Terminal Academy that deals with strategy: 2 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 strategy 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 strategy 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.
