Illustration
  1. Stops pile up under the swing low
  2. The raid wicks through and takes them
  3. A fair value gap forms after the raid
  4. Enter on the retrace, stop below the raid, aim 2 to 1
One setup the course builds up to, drawn out: wait for the raid, then the gap, then a fixed 2 to 1.

  1. Accumulation: a quiet range collects stops on both sides
  2. Manipulation: the fake break down is the trap

AMD: the shape of a trading day

Accumulation, manipulation, distribution, and why the first break of a range is usually the trap.

  1. Asian session: a quiet range builds the levels
  2. London sweeps the range and starts the trend
  3. The London and New York overlap moves the most
  4. Then it quietens: trade London and the overlap

Asian, London and New York sessions

Why the market goes quiet then explodes, when the London and New York overlap hits, and which window suits you.

  1. Price breaks the level everyone is watching
  2. The break fails and traps the buyers
  3. Displacement leaves a gap through the level
  4. The retest holds: enter, stop beyond it, 2 to 1

The fair value gap entry

Why buying the break gets you stopped, and how the gap, the retest and a fixed 2 to 1 fix it.

Questions beginners ask

Ask in the group
Is Deriv legit and safe?
Deriv is an established broker that has operated for over 25 years and is regulated across multiple jurisdictions. Trading itself is risky, around 70% of retail traders lose money, so the safe approach is to learn on the free demo account first and only trade money you can afford to lose.
How much money do I need to start trading?
Nothing to learn: the Deriv demo account is free and comes with $10,000 of virtual money. When you move to real money, you can start with as little as $5–$20, small size keeps early mistakes cheap while you build consistency.
Can a complete beginner learn to trade?
Yes. You do not need a finance background. This free course starts from "what is trading?" and builds up to placing your first practice trade, one short lesson at a time. The skill that matters most, managing risk so no single trade can hurt you, is simple to learn and taught early.
Is trading legal in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya and South Africa?
Yes. Online CFD and synthetic-indices trading through a broker like Deriv is legal across most of Africa and the Caribbean, and Deriv accepts local deposit methods in these countries. Always check your own country's current rules before funding an account.
Do I have to pay for this course?
No. The course, the guides and the tools are completely free. The site earns affiliate commissions from Deriv when someone opens an account through its links, at no extra cost to you, that is what keeps the content free.
How does Deriv work?
Deriv is an online broker, running for over 25 years with 2.5+ million users, that lets you trade forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies, stock indices and its own synthetic indices. You open an account, trade through a platform like MetaTrader 5 or Deriv Trader, and can practise free on a $10,000 demo. It offers three main account types: Financial (standard CFDs), Derived (adds synthetic indices) and Swap-free.
Is trading the same as gambling?
No, though it becomes gambling if you do it without a plan. A gambler bets on chance; a trader makes decisions from chart analysis and strict risk management, using stop losses, position sizing and the 1% rule to keep every loss small. The difference is process, not the buttons you press. Most people who lose are the ones trading with no plan.
