What exactly it includes

Important: No complete manuals are provided, nor is time devoted to creating algorithms or scripts. It explains what Expert Advisors are, their usefulness and limitations, and indicates how to evaluate an existing tool before using it.

What the process is like, step by step

StepActionExpected result
1Registration and accessEnter the portal, verify email and generate an access token for the private room.
2Initial diagnosisComplete a level and objectives questionnaire; the mentor assigns a suitable starting point.

4Practical simulation1 live session of 60 min where trading is done on a demo account under supervision.
5Individual feedback15-minute one-to-one mentoring to clarify each student's specific questions.
6Second module (advanced)4 live 30-minute classes: synthetic index pattern analysis, applied risk management and psychotrading.
7Real tradingTrade on a real account with mentor supervision; the community publishes weekly results.
8Review and adjustmentsPerformance evaluation and adjustments to the methodology based on the data collected.

Who it is not intended for

ProfileReason
Those looking for “quick profits”The methodology is based on discipline and gradual learning; it does not promise immediate results.
BeginnersNeeds a minimum base of forex/synthetic indices knowledge to follow the information presented.
Users looking to buy an algorithmThere is no teaching of programming or bot creation; the focus is on human trading.
Anyone expecting a “career in 30 days”Personal development in financial markets usually requires years of practice, although classes speed up the process.

If your goal is to learn how to create trading tools, the academy is not the right place. We will guide you on how to evaluate and acquire an already developed tool, but not on how to build it.

What you will not find here

Instead, the information is structured so that the student can evaluate any external resource for themselves and, above all, can formulate their own strategies under supervision.

Training in the context of the Academy

The academy offers a broad catalogue of courses with specialisation in different types of assets. If synthetic indices are your thing, you can explore the topic in depth in the section dedicated to synthetic indices courses. Each programme follows the same logic of live classes, mentoring and risk management, but with content tailored to the market horizon in question.

The courses use student reviews as a reference. Ratings and comments from users who have already taken the training are analysed so that you have a realistic view of what you can expect, without promises of returns.

The price of the trading course is competitive and matches the length and depth of the programme. To see the prices of our different courses, check the section on courses.
