The getting-started roadmap
The exact order to learn in, basics before strategy and risk before either, so you do not fund a live account before you understand the screen.
Educational content only, not financial or investment advice. Trading foreign exchange and other leveraged products carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose, and seek independent advice if needed.
Free educational resource
A free, plain-English starting point for anyone new to forex and trading. It collects the most useful foundations on this site, the learning roadmap, a risk-management checklist, the glossary, and a broker-evaluation checklist, into a short, ordered email series. No signals, no tips, no profit promises. Just the honest groundwork, in the order it actually matters.
What is inside
Every part of the kit is drawn from guides already published here, so you can also read them now without signing up. The email series simply walks you through them in the right sequence.
The exact order to learn in, basics before strategy and risk before either, so you do not fund a live account before you understand the screen.
The capital-protection habits we teach: position sizing, always-on stop-losses, drawdown math, and avoiding revenge trades. The skill that keeps you in the game.
Pips, lots, spread, leverage, margin, and the rest of the vocabulary, defined simply so every guide on the site reads more easily.
The criteria to judge any broker for yourself, regulation, client-money protection, real costs, and withdrawals, instead of trusting an advert.
Why we made it
Most trading content aimed at beginners is marketing in disguise: screenshots of supposed gains, promises of easy income, and signal services that profit from people who do not yet know the basics. The starter kit is the opposite. It gives you the groundwork in a sensible order and is honest about the one thing that matters most, which is that trading carries a substantial risk of loss and most beginners lose money at first.
There is nothing to buy. The kit points you to the same free guides anyone can read on this site, and it keeps a single idea at the center the entire way through: protect your capital first, treat prediction as a distant second, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose. If you would rather just start reading, begin with the getting-started roadmap or the forex basics.
