The Investor Diary Entry #89: November 2, 2025
In my previous documentation, I have concentrated on the two pillars I believe are essential for anyone on the path of how to become a successful forex trader: a tested risk management plan and a solid forex trading plan. However, I recently realized I had made a significant assumption—that education is a given first step. My recent trading challenges have forced me to return to this foundational phase, leading me to investigate where to find forex trading courses and how to evaluate them. This is a record of that investigation.
The Critical Foundation of Continuous Education
The barrier to entry in Forex trading is deceptively low. I have learned that confusing ease of entry with ease of income is a critical error. For me, education is the process that separates the two. Without it, the ease of entry becomes a curse, leading to the loss of both capital and time.
My need for continued education was recently highlighted when I revisited my SMC-based trading plan. While it was mechanically sound, it had a low win-loss ratio. To improve it, I had to go back to educational materials—books, online courses, and webinars—to find new ideas for filtering trades. This process reinforced my belief that education is not a one-time event but a continuous requirement in a rapidly evolving field. For me, understanding how to find the best Forex trading courses online is about building a lifelong learning habit to support my trading plan.
My Process for Vetting Online Course Resources
In my search for where to find Forex trading courses, I am testing a methodical approach. I do not recommend any specific course, as what works for one person may not work for another. Instead, I am documenting the process I am using to evaluate potential resources. The core of my method involves independent research and third-party review validation.
Therefore, to be totally clear, I am not making any recommendations here. I am merely giving a simple nudge to help readers have a starting point at researching Forex trading courses. The final decision is based on the reader’s own research and delegency.
A Note on Affiliations and Objectivity
I am an affiliate for some of the platforms I will mention, but not for others. I believe it is crucial to disclose this. My priority is to document my learning process, not to promote specific products. The following are notes from my initial research phase.
FX Academy
My research began with FX Academy, a free resource that offers courses from beginner to expert levels. It seemed like a potential starting point for my educational refresh. However, as part of my due diligence, I checked independent review sites like Trustpilot. I found a limited number of reviews, some of which reported negative experiences such as persistent phone calls. This was an alarming discovery for a free platform and is a factor I am noting in my personal assessment. It underscores why I cannot label any single resource as the “best.”
Forex University
The next resource I examined was Forex University. I was initially drawn to its name, which suggests a structured curriculum. I am an affiliate for this paid program. When I checked its status on Trustpilot, I found no reviews, which presents a different kind of challenge. A lack of public feedback means I have less independent data to consider, making a decision more difficult without a direct trial.
Forex Masterclass
Another paid program I found was Forex Masterclass. On Trustpilot, it held a high rating of 4.7 stars, with many five-star reviews. While this is a positive signal, it is only one data point in my larger evaluation process. A high rating makes it a more interesting candidate for my research, but it does not guarantee it will align with my specific learning needs or trading style.
Everything Money
A resource I have direct, paid experience with is Everything Money, though my subscription has since expired. It is important to note that this platform is primarily focused on stock investing and trading, not Forex. However, the principles I learned from them, particularly from the trader Mo, have been directly applicable to my journey. I am currently integrating the use of weekly and daily stochastic indicators, a concept I adapted from their teachings, into my Forex trading plan. This synthesis of knowledge from a different market is, for me, a testament to the value of diverse educational sources.
My Personal Approach to Learning and Integration
My journey has not been limited to these specific online courses. I have attended offline classes, which I often prefer for the direct interaction, and I have tested countless strategies from YouTube and books. I do not consider any education “bad”; even concepts that did not work in isolation contributed to my experience. The integration of concepts from Everything Money into my Forex plan is a clear example of how I am testing and adapting ideas from various sources to build a system that works for me.
Conclusion and My Next Step in Testing
My investigation into how to find the best Forex trading courses online has confirmed that there is no single answer. The process is highly personal and requires diligent, independent research. For my own development as a trader, I will continue to treat my education as if I am in a university, dedicating myself to learning until I can trade a demo account with consistent profitability.
The next step in my testing journey will focus on the practical application of this ongoing education. I will be documenting my efforts to refine my solid forex trading plan further, specifically concentrating on methods to improve my win-loss ratio based on the new concepts, like the stochastic indicators from Everything Money, that I am currently testing. This is the continuous cycle of my trading diary: learn, test, document, and repeat.

About The Author
I started to look into individual stocks in January 2022. I created this diary initially for myself to track my investing progress, and second, as a place where I can share my ideas publicly, not only on stock investment, but on any venture that I start learning, such as Forex Trading, Blogging, or any other future venture that I might think of trying out.
By repeating things I learn to myself and trying to explain it to others, I help myself better understand what I am learning. Additionally, hoping that others will share their ideas and learn from each other, and lastly as an online business where some links that I share are affiliate links, and if anybody bought anything by clicking tihose links, I will get a commission based on that successful sale, which of course will not affect the price that you are buying the product or service at.

Furthermore, this site is in no way or form giving any financial or investing advice, nor is it encouraging or discouraging people to buy or sell any financial instrument. This is a personal diary in which I track my own progress and share it for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.
