Questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. The whole academy — courses, lessons, checks and the simulator — is free. No card needed, there is nothing to pay for.
Are you a broker? Will you sell me something?
No. We teach. There are no real-money trades on the site. Where to trade for real is covered only in the last course, when you already understand what you are choosing.
Do I need to sign up?
The first three lessons and the simulator open right away. After that, a free profile by email keeps your progress.
I know nothing about markets
That is exactly who the academy is for. Course one starts from zero: what trading is, what gets traded and how a trade works.
How long will it take?
One lesson takes about two minutes. 9 courses and 99 lessons in total: a lesson a day, or a course in an evening.
