Currency Market Foundations
A risk-first introduction to the global currency market. You learn what actually moves an exchange rate, how a trade is structured from entry to exit, and why position sizing matters more than prediction — all before a single rupee is committed.
By the end, you should be able to
- Explain how the interbank currency market works and who the participants are
- Read a candlestick chart across multiple timeframes without guessing
- Calculate pip value, lot size, and required margin for any major pair
- Write a simple, written trading plan with defined invalidation
Who this suits
- Complete beginners who want structure before risk
- Self-taught traders whose basics have gaps
- Students and professionals exploring the FX market academically
