Frequently asked questions
How much money do I need to start trading gold?
This site doesn't recommend a fixed amount, because minimum deposits vary by broker. Whatever you invest should be money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
What matters more than the amount is understanding lot size, leverage (trading with borrowed capital that multiplies gains and losses), and risk management — the core of this course.
Does this site sell anything?
No. This site has no affiliate links to brokers, no paid courses, and no pitch to open a trading account anywhere.
All the content is for education only.
Can I start trading as soon as I finish the course?
This course gives you the knowledge you need, but real trading takes more practice, such as testing your approach in a demo account and building emotional discipline.
No amount of knowledge guarantees a profit. Trading always carries risk.
Do the calculators store my data?
No. Every calculator runs on JavaScript in your own browser, and the numbers you enter are never sent to a server.
