Description
Never traded before? Start here. In about an hour of short videos you'll learn what trading is, what you can trade, how CFDs, lots, pips and leverage work, how to install MetaTrader 5 on your phone and laptop, and how to place your first trade on a demo account with a stop loss and take profit. No hype and no promises of quick profits: just the foundations every trader needs, in the right order. Trading CFDs involves significant risk of loss. This course is education, not investment advice.
