Course › Level 0 — What is trading, actually?

Can you really make money? (The honest answer)

Yes — and most people don't. Both halves of that sentence matter.

Around 70% of retail traders lose money. Any site that hides this from you is selling you something. Here's why most lose, because the reasons are avoidable:

1. They risk too much per trade. One bad day wipes the account. (Fixed by the 1% rule — Level 3.)
2. They trade without a plan. Random entries, no exit decided, hoping. (Fixed by having a checklist — we give you one.)
3. They chase losses. Lose $10, immediately bet $20 to win it back, lose that too. (Fixed by a daily stop rule.)

The realistic path

Nobody turns $50 into $5,000 in a month — anyone showing you that is showing you luck or a lie. The realistic path is: learn on a demo account until you're consistent, start small with real money, grow slowly. Boring, and it works.

That's exactly the path this course walks you down — and the practice account costs nothing.
