Introduction to the Course

Learn how to manage risk like a professional trader. This course breaks down forex-specific risks such as leverage, volatility, and correlations, showing you how to size positions, place stops, and plan around news events to protect your capital and trade with confidence.

Module 1: Why Forex Risk is Unique

Discover what makes forex risk different from any other market. In this module, you’ll learn how liquidity, leverage, and spreads shape your trading experience — and why understanding them is key to controlling risk from your very first trade.

Module 2: Pip Value & Stop Placement

Learn how to measure your risk with precision. This module explains how to calculate pip value and set effective stop-loss levels, helping you protect your capital and stay consistent across every trade.

Module 3: Position Sizing in Currency Pairs

Find the right trade size for every market condition. This module teaches you how to match your lot size to stop-loss distance, adjust for volatility, and manage overlapping trades to keep your overall risk balanced and under control.

Module 4: Risk in Different Currency Types

Not all currency pairs carry the same risk. In this module, you’ll explore how majors, crosses, and exotics differ in spreads, volatility, and swaps — and how news events can impact each type in unique ways.

Module 5: Correlation & Risk Stacking

Learn how currency correlations can quietly increase your risk. This module shows how trading pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD together can stack exposure, and how to manage overlapping positions to keep your USD risk in check.

News can move the forex market in seconds. In this module, you’ll learn how to prepare for high-impact releases, choose between trading before or after the news, and protect your trades from gaps and slippage.
