Start Module 1 Free →Most free forex courses are thinly disguised marketing funnels. They teach you just enough to feel confident, then push you toward a $500 "premium" course or a specific broker without explaining why.
The forex.mobile Academy is different. It is a complete, structured education from the basics of what forex is to advanced risk management and trading psychology. It was created by James Morgan, a senior forex analyst with 12 years of market experience, and the entire curriculum is reviewed quarterly to reflect current market conditions.
There are no premium tiers. No content locked behind a paywall. No credit card forms. The entire 12-module course, including quizzes, interactive tools, and the certificate, is free and will stay free.
What You'll Learn
By the time you complete all 12 modules, you will understand:
The 12 Modules — Full Breakdown
Each module is 30-45 minutes and ends with a quiz. You must pass each quiz before moving to the next module. The sequence is intentional — every module builds on concepts from the previous one.
What forex is, who trades it and why, how the $7.5 trillion daily market is structured, and the four major trading sessions (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York).
Base currency vs. quote currency, major/minor/exotic pairs, how to read a forex quote, bid-ask prices, and why pair selection matters more than most beginners realize.
What a pip is worth in real money at every lot size, how spreads work as a trading cost, and why a 2-pip spread on 20 daily trades can cost you $400 per day.
How leverage works mathematically, what a margin call means, why 1:500 leverage on a $500 account is dangerous, and the leverage levels experienced traders actually use. Includes a live leverage simulator.
How to evaluate regulation, spreads, execution speed, withdrawal reliability, and platform quality. Side-by-side broker comparison exercise. What red flags look like.
Candlestick anatomy, timeframes, support and resistance levels, trend identification, and the three chart types every trader should know (candlestick, line, bar).
How to identify trends, draw trend lines, spot breakouts, recognize false breakouts, and use price action to determine market direction. The foundation of most trading strategies.
Moving averages (SMA, EMA), RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Not as a laundry list, but as practical tools with specific use cases. When to use each one and when they fail.
Position sizing, the 1% rule, stop-loss placement, risk-reward ratios, and why a 40% win rate can still be highly profitable. The module that saves accounts.
Fear, greed, revenge trading, overconfidence after wins, and paralysis after losses. How cognitive biases affect trading decisions and practical techniques to manage them.
How to create a written trading plan: entry rules, exit rules, position sizing, which pairs to trade, which sessions, and how to journal and review your results.
How interest rates, NFP, CPI, PMI, and central bank decisions move currency prices. How to read an economic calendar. When to trade news and when to sit on your hands.
Interactive Tools Built Into the Course
Reading about leverage is one thing. Watching a simulator eat your virtual account is another. The academy includes interactive tools embedded directly into the relevant modules:
Enter any pair and lot size. See the exact dollar value per pip before you risk it. Built into Module 3.
Set your account size and leverage level. Watch what happens to your equity on a 50, 100, or 200-pip move. Built into Module 4.
Match forex terms to their definitions. Covers 50+ terms including spread, slippage, margin, rollover, and more. Used across multiple modules.
Interactive chart exercises where you identify support, resistance, trends, and candlestick patterns on real market data. Built into Modules 6-8.
The 3 Certificate Tiers
Certificates are not just participation trophies. Each tier represents a measurable level of forex knowledge and requires passing quizzes with a minimum score. Certificates include a unique verification URL and can be shared on LinkedIn.

How This Course Compares to Others
There are other forex education resources online. Here is how the forex.mobile Academy compares to the most popular ones:
| Feature | forex.mobile | BabyPips | Investopedia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Free | Free / Paid |
| Structured modules | 12 modules | Yes (text-based) | No (articles) |
| Quizzes | After every module | Some | None |
| Interactive tools | 4 tools | None | Simulator ($) |
| Certificate | 3 tiers | None | Paid only |
| Mobile-friendly | Yes | Partial | Yes |
BabyPips' School of Pipsology is an excellent text resource, and we recommend it as supplementary reading. Investopedia is better as a reference encyclopedia than a structured course. The forex.mobile Academy fills the gap: structured learning with built-in retention tools, interactivity, and measurable progress.
Who This Course Is For
Complete beginners
You've never traded anything before. Start at Module 1 and work through sequentially.
Stock traders moving to forex
You understand markets but not forex-specific concepts like pips, leverage, and 24-hour sessions. Start at Module 1 but you'll move faster.
Traders who've lost money
You've tried forex before and lost. Modules 4 (Leverage), 9 (Risk Management), and 10 (Psychology) were built for you.
Intermediate traders with gaps
You can read a chart but can't explain your risk per trade in dollars. Take the placement quiz and fill in the gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the forex.mobile course really free?+
Yes, completely. All 12 modules, quizzes, interactive tools, and certificates are free. No credit card, no trial period, no premium tier. The Academy is funded through broker partnerships — when traders graduate and open accounts through our recommended brokers, we earn a referral commission. This lets us keep the education free.
How long does the course take to complete?+
The full 12-module course takes 6-8 hours. Most students finish in 1-2 weeks at a pace of 1-2 modules per day. Each module is 30-45 minutes including the quiz. You can pause and resume at any time — progress saves automatically.
Do I get a certificate?+
Yes — three tiers. Bronze after modules 1-5, Silver after modules 1-8, and Gold after all 12 modules with 80%+ quiz scores. Certificates are shareable on LinkedIn and include a verification URL.
What if I already know the basics?+
Take the placement quiz. If you pass, you can skip ahead to Module 6 (Technical Analysis) or Module 9 (Risk Management). That said, most intermediate traders discover gaps in their foundational knowledge when they revisit the early modules.
Is the course available in Arabic, German, or French?+
The core course is in English. Localized versions are available for Arabic, German, and French speakers. The content is the same, adapted for regional broker availability and local market context.
How does this compare to BabyPips or Investopedia?+
BabyPips is excellent but text-heavy with no interactive tools or certificates. Investopedia is a reference library, not a structured course. The forex.mobile Academy combines structured modules, quizzes, interactive tools (pip calculator, leverage simulator), and certificates — making learning measurable and engaging.
