Forex is the foreign exchange market, the largest financial market in the world.
The Forex (Foreign Exchange) market is the global market for trading foreign currencies, with a daily trading volume exceeding $6 trillion. The market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, and trading takes place through currency pairs (such as EUR/USD). When you trade forex, you're buying one currency and selling another at the same time. The goal is to profit from exchange rate changes. Our 'Financial Market Basics' course explains all these concepts in detail.
A tool that lets you trade with amounts larger than your actual capital.
Leverage is a temporary loan provided by the broker to the trader, enabling them to open trades larger than their balance. For example, 1:100 leverage means every dollar in your account can control $100 in the market. This magnifies potential profits but also magnifies losses. That's why understanding risk management is vital. Our 'Risk Management' course explains how to use leverage wisely and avoid excessive risk.
Technical studies charts, while fundamental studies news and economic indicators.
Technical analysis focuses on studying historical price movement through charts and technical indicators, assuming patterns repeat and can be predicted. Fundamental analysis focuses on economic and political factors that affect a currency's value, such as interest rates, GDP, and unemployment rates. Successful traders usually combine both approaches. We offer a complete course for each type of analysis.
The smallest unit of measurement for a currency pair's price change, usually the fourth decimal place.
A pip (Percentage in Point) is the smallest change in a currency pair's price. For most pairs, a pip is the fourth decimal place (0.0001). For example, if EUR/USD moves from 1.1000 to 1.1001, that's a one-pip move. Pip value depends on trade size and the currency used. The pip calculator in the tools section helps you calculate pip value for any pair and any trade size.
It depends on your pace, but average completion is 2-4 weeks per course.
Each course contains 8-12 video lessons averaging 10-20 minutes each, plus quizzes after each group of lessons. If you dedicate 30-60 minutes daily, you can complete a course in 2-3 weeks. But there's no time pressure — learn at your own pace. Content is always available and you can rewatch any lesson multiple times. We recommend practicing on a demo account alongside your learning.
No, the courses are designed for complete beginners and require no prior experience.
We designed our educational content to start from absolute zero. The 'Financial Market Basics' course explains all core concepts in a simple, understandable way, without assuming any prior knowledge. Every new term is clearly explained with practical examples. However, if you have prior experience, you can skip the basic courses and go directly to advanced courses based on your level.
The best times are during the overlap of the London and New York sessions (3-5 PM Mecca time).
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, but liquidity and volatility vary by session. There are three main sessions: Asia (Tokyo), Europe (London), and America (New York). The most active time is during the overlap of the London and New York sessions (3-5 PM Mecca time). During this time, liquidity is higher and spreads are lower. Our market basics course explains trading sessions in detail.
An account with virtual funds that lets you practice trading without risk.
A demo account is a complete simulation of the real trading environment but with virtual funds. You can open trades, test strategies, and learn to use the trading platform without risking any real money. We strongly recommend practicing on a demo account for at least 2-3 months before moving to real trading. You can open a free demo account with EVEST through evest.com.
1-2% of capital per trade as a maximum.
The golden rule of risk management is not to risk more than 1-2% of your total capital on any single trade. For example, if your account is $10,000, the maximum loss on a single trade should not exceed $100-200. This protects you from large losses and ensures you stay in the market even during losing streaks. Our 'Risk Management' course explains how to calculate the appropriate trade size.
Yes, the platform is fully compatible with all mobile devices.
EVEST Pro Academy is built with responsive design technology to work perfectly on all devices: smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets, and computers. You can watch lessons, take quizzes, and track your progress from any device. Your progress is saved automatically and synced across all your devices, so you can start on your computer and continue on your phone.
An automatic order that closes a trade at a specified loss level to protect capital.
A stop loss is an order you set in advance to automatically close a trade if the price moves against you by a certain amount. For example, if you buy EUR/USD at 1.1000 and set a stop loss at 1.0950, the trade will automatically close if the price drops to that level, limiting your loss to 50 pips. Using a stop loss on every trade is the foundation of successful risk management and protects you from catastrophic losses.
An automatic order that closes a trade at a specified profit level to lock in gains.
Take profit is the opposite of a stop loss — it automatically closes the trade when the price reaches your specified profit target. For example, if you buy at 1.1000 and set take profit at 1.1100, the trade will close with a 100-pip profit when the price reaches that level. This helps you lock in profits without needing to constantly watch the screen. We recommend a profit-to-loss ratio of at least 2:1.
Losses are a natural part of trading. What matters is managing them and not exceeding your risk limits.
Even the most successful traders lose on some trades — what matters is that your total profits exceed your losses. To handle losses in a healthy way: 1) Always stick to your stop loss. 2) Don't double down on trades to recover a loss (revenge trading). 3) Analyze your losing trades to learn from them. 4) Take a break after a losing streak. 5) Remember that a small, calculated loss is better than a catastrophic one. Our risk management course covers the psychological side of trading.
The major currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF.
The major pairs (Majors) are the most traded and liquid, and include the US dollar against other major currencies: EUR/USD (Euro/Dollar — the most traded), GBP/USD (Pound/Dollar), USD/JPY (Dollar/Yen), USD/CHF (Dollar/Swiss Franc), AUD/USD (Australian Dollar), USD/CAD (Canadian Dollar), NZD/USD (New Zealand Dollar). These pairs feature low spreads and high liquidity, making them suitable for beginners.
No, trading involves high risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
Trading in financial markets involves a high degree of risk and is not suitable for everyone. Before starting, ask yourself: can I afford to lose the money I'm investing? Do I have time to learn and follow the markets? Can I control my emotions? Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results. We strongly recommend consulting an independent financial advisor before making investment decisions.
