Four-week route
Course context: This lesson belongs to a practical beginner curriculum for Pakistan.
| Week | Study focus | Required deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CFD structure, Bid/Ask, lots, contract size and spread | Annotated symbol specification and one-point P/L calculation |
| 2 | Margin, leverage, stop loss and position sizing | Ten hypothetical position-size calculations |
| 3 | Platform orders, sessions, HMR, slippage and costs | Five fully documented demo tickets |
| 4 | One setup, journal, expectancy, drawdown and fraud checks | Twenty-signal demo review and written go/no-go decision |
Separate durable lessons from changing facts
| Durable concept | Current fact to recheck |
|---|---|
| Leverage multiplies exposure, not certainty | Available maximum leverage and eligibility |
| Spread is Ask minus Bid | Live spread for the symbol and session |
| Position size links stop distance to cash risk | Contract size, pip value and account currency conversion |
| A stop is an execution instruction | Current market hours, gaps and HMR conditions |
| Commission affects expectancy | Account- and instrument-specific commission |
Weekly checkpoint method
- Explain the concept in plain language without copying.
- Write the formula and units.
- Calculate one numerical example.
- Find the corresponding field in the platform or specification.
- Run a demo test and save a screenshot.
- Record what would invalidate the conclusion.
Pakistan learner adaptations
Keep currency conversion visible when the account is not denominated in PKR, use Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) alongside Exness server time (UTC+0), and confirm region-specific payment methods, minimum deposits, entity documents and platform availability inside the Personal Area rather than copying another country's instructions.
