28-DAY BEGINNER PATH · NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

From zero to paper trading.

Short lessons, guided practice, and safety checks designed so a first-time learner can operate a simulated account in four weeks or less.

START HERE

Your first goal is not profit.

Your goal is to explain every button, number, and risk before you touch it. You will enter simulation in Week 1 and place your first guided paper order in Week 2.

Begin Day 1 →

1 · Learn itRead the plain-English explanation and look at one worked example.

2 · Say it backExplain the idea in your own words. If you cannot, review before continuing.

3 · Practice itComplete the guided simulation and save evidence of what you did.

4 · Prove itPass the knowledge check and demonstrate the skill without hints.

YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE

Twenty focused sessions. Four clear milestones.

Study 30–45 minutes a day, five days a week. Rest or review on weekends. Moving faster is fine; skipping proof steps is not.

WEEK 1 · DAYS 1–5

Learn the screen

Safety, basic option words, and a guided tour of simulation mode.

Milestone: find the chain, orders, and positions.

WEEK 2 · DAYS 6–10

Build one spread

Two legs, credit, maximum gain, maximum loss, and breakeven.

Milestone: build and cancel a guided paper order.

WEEK 3 · DAYS 11–15

Prove the idea

Trend, levels, events, delta, time, volatility, and liquidity.

Milestone: accept one setup and reject one setup.

WEEK 4 · DAYS 16–20

Run the process

Open, manage, close, journal, and complete the readiness test.

Milestone: finish one clean open-to-close simulation.

THE LESSONS

Complete the modules in order.

80% completes a module. The final knowledge gate requires all earlier modules, a 90% course average, and every safety-critical answer. An observed skills demonstration is still required for readiness.
