2. What is Forex trading?
Forex trading, also known as foreign exchange or currency trading, involves buying and selling currencies with the goal of profiting from the fluctuations in their exchange rates. Forex is the most liquid and heavily traded market on the planet, outstripping all other markets with an average trading volume of $7.51 trillion per day. Several factors contribute to this unrivaled turnover, starting with the fact that the forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

4. What are the prerequisites for joining the course?
Generally, there are no strict prerequisites for beginner-level forex trading courses. However, a basic understanding of economics and financial markets can be beneficial.
5. Can Forex Trading Make Me Rich Quickly?
It’s crucial to have realistic expectations. Forex trading involves significant risk, and there are no guarantees of quick riches. Success in forex trading requires consistent learning, disciplined execution, effective risk management, and patience. Be wary of any institute that promises unrealistic returns.
6. Is Forex Trading Legal in India?
Yes, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), resident individuals are permitted to trade in currency futures and options contracts on recognized stock exchanges in India (e.g., NSE, BSE, MCX-SX). Trading in over-the-counter (OTC) forex markets or with international brokers may have regulatory implications, so it’s essential to understand the legal framework. Some institutes may focus on trading currency derivatives on Indian exchanges, while others might offer education on international markets with a disclaimer about regulatory compliance.
7. Is Forex trading risky?
Yes, but we emphasize risk management strategies to minimize losses. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
8. Do you guarantee profits?
No reputable institute guarantees profits. Forex trading involves risk. We teach skills to improve your odds, but success depends on market conditions and individual discipline.

11. Why Do Very Few Succeed in Trading?
The primary causes are people’s lack of commitment and patience as well as incorrect expectations. You can’t expect someone to become an engineer, doctor, or lawyer in two or three months. In trading, however, everyone aspires to turn a profit within a few months. To become a professional in that industry, you must complete three to five years of coursework and a few years of hands-on training, just as in any other job. In the same way, being a good trader requires at least three to five years of committed work.
However, the majority of traders give up during the learning curve. Most people here desire to become traders by watching YouTube videos, reading books, blogs, and so on, but in any other field, people are willing to pay high fees to become doctors, engineers, or lawyers. They are inspired to become profitable traders.
They will then begin making actual trades and believe that they can become profitable traders by simply following the advice in books or blogs. Then you realize that no amount of information you can learn from books or videos can prepare you for the feelings you will experience when you are actually trading.
Everyone aspires to become a profitable trader without a mentor’s assistance. Is there an engineer, physician, or lawyer who claims to have gone into the workforce on his own? Everyone wants to do it alone, though. This further raises their learning curve, and by this point, the majority of them give up.
We will then state that only 5–10% of people achieve achievement, but we don’t read their success tales. Like any other career, it required at least three to five years for any successful trader to achieve success in this one. On their path to steady profit, every successful trader sought the guidance of a mentor. The exceptions are few and far between, but they have steep learning curves.
The majority of failed traders today aspire to be the exception in this field, which ultimately leads to their downfall. This explains why the failure rate in this field is so high.
12. Can I trade while learning?
Yes! We encourage demo trading (virtual money) initially, with guidance on transitioning to live accounts.
13. Can I practice before trading real money?
Absolutely! We provide:
Forex & Crypto demo accounts (virtual funds).
14. How long does it take to become profitable?
Varies by individual. Typically months to years. Most students see progress in 3–6 months with consistent practice.
15. Do I get a certificate?
Yes! A certificate of completion is awarded after finishing the course to those who qualify with an exam score above 70%.
