Capstone: Become a Professional Forex Trader
A rigorous capstone for retail traders who want to assemble strategy, risk, psychology and review into a repeatable trading business. Build a live-ready trading plan, measurable track record, funded/prop-firm pathways, tax-ready recordkeeping and a realistic income roadmap. Demo-first practice is required — start with a FREE demo account (recommended: Exness via our partner link) and only consider live when you are consistently profitable on demo.
What you'll learn
- Calculate position size so a stop-out costs a precise % of your account using the formula: position_size = risk_amount ÷ (stop_pips × pip_value).
- Compute trade expectancy, R-multiple metrics and profit factor from a sample trade history and use them to accept/reject a strategy.
- Design a one-page trading business plan that covers edge, risk limits, scaling rules and realistic income targets.
- Evaluate funded and proprietary firm offers and build a funded-route application plan without risking live capital prematurely.
- Build a monthly and quarterly review cycle with exact metrics (win rate, avg win/loss, max drawdown, expectancy) and re-optimization rules.
- Create a tax-ready bookkeeping system and record-keeping workflow for trading P/L, fees and withdrawals.
- Draft a scaling plan that shows stepwise account growth, risk budgets, and operational requirements (capital, software, compliance).
- Deliver a 20-trade demo-capstone with validated performance metrics and a go/no-go decision checklist for live transition.
