The popular 'FX Principles' comprehensively teaches the basics of FX trading through videos.
People who started FX trading used to think they could roughly grasp the direction of currency price movements by checking the news daily with fundamentals, but when they actually traded, they faced ongoing losses,and additionally, many who bought books and studied technicals using MT4 found it difficult and gave up, overwhelmingly so.
The shorter the holding period for a position, the harder it is to win with fundamentals alone; however, the overwhelming majority of FX traders are conscious of using leverage effectively, so they cannot adopt an investment strategy that holds long positions while ignoring unrealized losses and aiming to turn unrealized losses into large profits.
Because being in the market for a long time with leverage is considered risky, we are forced to center trading on shorter swing trades and day trading.
Such FX investors also need to acquire the knowledge to understand currency price movements through technical analysis.
'FX Principles' is something to learn primarily through videos focusing on technical analysis, but when I see that this 'FX Principles' is gaining popularity now, I wanted to know why; after reviewing the course this time, I feel that it is nothing but FX investors who have given up or are on the verge of giving up on mastering technical analysis who are turning their attention to 'FX Principles'.
This time, I plan to report on the contents of 'FX Principles'.
'FX Principles' Course Site
According to its developer DAI, 'FX Principles' is a course for FX beginners, but it is fair to say that FX beginners, those who have moved beyond beginner to early intermediate, and those who have been trading for years but still can't win consistently can greatly improve their FX trading skills, including technical analysis, by carefully watching the video collection repeatedly.
The ultimate goals of the course are threefold:
Be able to trade without indicators
'Capture the trend by being aware of the "waves"
'Be able to use long-term, mid-term, and short-term charts
Three.

A portion of them is shown below using still images.

“Perfect Dow” (Indicator)
Now, there is a Khan Academy in the United States, an online school for students that teaches what they learn in school online and produces outstanding students.
