Trading academy: SHEFA Trading Academy
SHEFA Trading Academy is the in-house trading academy: an online school in Spanish on 24/7 synthetic indices, forex y gold (XAUUSD), with a principle that never changes: risk is calculated before entering and the result is measured afterwards. This page explains who is behind it, how we work and what you will not find here.
What exactly is it
- A training academy, not a manager or a signal service: we do not manage third-party accounts or publish trades to copy.
- Specialised in synthetics (markets generated by the broker, with no underlying asset and open 24/7) and also in forex y gold.
- With our own tools for MetaTrader 5 and a student community where questions and reviews are shared.
- With open content: the guides section is free and covers the complete basic syllabus.
Who teaches
The classes and material are delivered by Luis Sanches y Milton Bertillo the in-house mentors, who trade the same markets they teach. Their profiles are in the mentors section of the website, and all published guides are signed and dated: if anything changes in the market or on the platform, the date is updated.
How it is taught: four principles
| Principle | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| 1. Risk comes first | Before looking at entries, you define how much can be lost per trade and per day, and how that translates into size. |
| 2. Measure before believing | No idea is accepted as good without a recorded sample reviewed in blocks. |
| 3. No signals | The goal is for each student to have their own judgement, not to follow other people's instructions. |
| 4. Tools in the service of the plan | Programs and expert advisors execute rules that have already been measured: they automate, they do not decide. |
Which markets it covers
- Synthetic indices (24/7): Volatility, Crash and Boom, Step Index, Jump, DEX, Range Break and each broker's own families. No sessions, no gaps and with the broker as counterparty. See what synthetic indices are.
- Forex: major pairs and crosses, with their sessions (London and New York), opening ranges, spread and swap. See the differences from synthetics.
- Gold (XAUUSD): high volatility, time-varying cost, weekend gap and macro data. See how to trade gold.
The in-house tools
The firm develops expert advisors and indicators in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 focused on what risk requires: calculating size based on risk, placing stops, respecting loss limits and controlling trading hours. It also uses a local bridge that allows the student to receive the mentor's markings in their own terminal without exposing keys, IPs or servers: the terminal reads from a local service that only replicates what has previously been published.
All of this is explained in the automation guides: what can genuinely be delegated to a program, how an EA works internally y how to install it.
