Learn the market.
Build the process.

Learn what forex actually is, how buying and selling a currency pair makes or loses money, what kind of product you are really trading, and why no course or account can promise you profit.

Decode any currency quote, understand bid, ask and spread, know which pairs and sessions suit a beginner, and stop accidentally placing the same bet three times.

Read candlestick charts and timeframes, choose the order type that matches what you actually want, understand why stops can fill worse than planned, and use a short ticket check that catches costly typing mistakes.

Learn the handful of numbers behind every forex trade: pips, lots, pip value, leverage, margin, spread, commission and swap. By the end you can work out what a trade risks and what it actually made after costs, for EUR/USD and USD/JPY, before you press the button.

Decide what a trade is allowed to cost before you decide how big it is. This unit teaches risk per trade, sizing from your stop distance, R-multiples, the maths of drawdown and recovery, and how to plan for losing streaks so one bad week does not undo months of work.

Learn to read what a chart is doing right now: trending, ranging or changing. Mark support and resistance as zones, recognise failed breakouts, give each timeframe one job, and check the news calendar. The goal is a written if/then plan with a stop and a pass option, not a prediction.

Turn a market idea into written rules another careful person could follow, including when to pass, when to stop and how to size from your invalidation.

Recognise emotional escalation early and put practical barriers between an impulse and the order ticket, so your plan still runs on your worst days.

Turn a trading idea into a falsifiable hypothesis with fixed rules, then test it honestly on past and unseen data, with costs and losing streaks included, before you trust it with an account.

Keep a journal that separates strategy quality, execution quality and emotional decisions, then run short daily and weekly reviews that end in one specific change.

Walk through every rule of the OA Core Two-Step with a $10K and a $25K worked example, so you can check any trade against the rulebook before you place it.

Follow the OA Core Two-Step from choosing an account size, through Phase 1 and Phase 2, identity verification and the funded account, to your first payout cycle, with a plan for each stage.

Size every trade against OA Funded's daily loss floor and static 90% floor, know how many losing trades fit before either one, and plan the 5-day, 3-profitable-day requirement without forcing trades.

Most accounts are not lost to a bad strategy. They are lost to a rule the trader half understood, or a routine they skipped once. This unit walks through the breach and payout problems we see traders walk into on OA Funded, and gives you a short routine that prevents each one.

Risking a fixed percentage per trade is the start, not the finish. This unit covers what per-trade risk misses: currency overlap between pairs, stacked open risk, stops that change size as volatility changes, the asymmetric maths of drawdowns, and how many losers in a row your account can survive. Where it helps, the numbers are applied to the loss limits on OA Funded.

Passing changes the job. In the evaluation you were working toward a target. On a funded account the job is to protect the floor, run the same tested process, and plan around payout cycles without letting them push you. This unit covers how the funded stage works on OA Funded, what a payout does to your balance and your floor, and the routines that keep a funded trader steady.

Build routines for confidence, attention, recovery and sustainable decision-making: catch tilt early, size for loss streaks, stay steady near a target, and know when to stop for the day.

Combine strategy, risk, execution, psychology, review and OA rules into one usable document: markets, sessions, setups, risk per trade, daily stop, weekly review and an OA Funded rules checklist.
