Learn the fundamentals and the mechanics of forex trading.

Rich Porlé

Webinar: 1.5 Hours

Learn Forex CFD trading through a  structured, professional approach that goes beyond basic chart reading and into the core mechanics that drive real trading performance. This program explains how price movements in the foreign exchange market translate into profits and losses in CFD trading, giving you a clear understanding of how every pip, lot size, and contract specification affects your account. You will learn precise P&L calculations so you can quantify risk and reward before entering a trade, rather than guessing outcomes.

The course also breaks down leverage in a practical, trader-focused way, showing how leverage amplifies both gains and losses, how to use it responsibly, and how institutional traders control exposure rather than over-leveraging retail accounts. You will understand swaps (rollover interest), why they exist, how they are calculated, and how they affect long-term and overnight positions, especially for swing and position traders.

Margin and margin levels are explained in detail, including how brokers allocate margin, how free margin changes with market fluctuations, and how margin levels act as a real-time risk gauge for your account health. Critical risk events such as margin calls and stop-out rules are clearly explained so you know exactly when and why brokers close positions, and how to prevent forced liquidations through disciplined position sizing and account management.

Beyond mechanics, the program emphasizes institutional-style risk management teaching you how professional traders structure risk per trade, per day, and per portfolio, instead of relying on arbitrary lot sizes or emotional decisions. You will learn how to calculate position sizes based on account equity, volatility, and stop-loss distance, how to define risk-to-reward ratios that create long-term expectancy, and how to build a risk framework that protects capital during drawdowns while allowing growth during winning periods.

The institutional approach also covers diversification across currency pairs, correlation risk, and how to avoid concentrated exposure that can wipe out accounts during major market events. By integrating technical execution with disciplined risk protocols, this program trains you to think and operate like a professional trader; focused on capital preservation, consistency, and scalability rather than short-term speculation.
