Description
Every day, trillions of U.S. dollars are traded against other currencies in the foreign exchange (forex FX) market. It is the most liquid market on earth.Professional traders rely on fundamental and technical analysis before they risk millions of dollars per trade. Most traders make a regular profit when trading because of their in-depth knowledge of the financial markets and how they work.Our ex-institutional forex trading experts have designed, written, and put together a unique, comprehensive e-learning course that teaches students all over the world, on a step-by-step basis, when to trade, when not to trade, and how to manage risk—the biggest challenge for traders.The course teaches the tricks that the big guns use, including specific 'target' trading levels and recurring chart patterns that provide entry and exit signals that traders should use as benchmarks in order to see consistent returns.The KOS Forex Academy online education course focuses on the Spot FX market. We teach students how to set up their trading charts using colour-coded indicators that help traders more easily defi ne trading opportunities, and when to exit profitable trades, as well as setting ultra-tight stop losses.A note from our founder, Kevin O'Sullivan: -I spent many years in the city of London as an institutional money broker, and I have brought my knowledge and experience together and created this step-by-step trading course.The objective of the course is to teach you how the currency market operates and show you how professional traders consistently make money.I have also engineered certain technical analysis indicators in a colour-coordinated way so as to make trade entry points easier to identify.This, coupled with my recurring chart pattern theory and target-driven trading methodology, will give you the edge you need to trade in the highly lucrative forex market.At the end of the course, you will have learned a new profession or new skills to adapt to your own trading style.
