Course modules for people starting out in trading

Gerehe teaches the basics of financial markets in separate, self-contained modules. Each one covers a defined topic, builds on plain explanations and uses simulated practice instead of live money. Below you will find what every module contains, followed by a reference table with the format of each.

How Markets Work

An introduction to what a financial market is and who takes part in it. The module explains exchanges, brokers, buyers and sellers, and how an order meets a counterparty. It also separates shares, currencies, commodities and indices, so you can see how each one is quoted and what moves it from one session to the next.

Reading Price Charts

Learn to read line, bar and candlestick charts without guesswork. The module covers time frames, support and resistance, trend direction and how volume relates to price. Exercises use saved historical charts, so you can pause, mark levels and compare your reading against what the price actually did afterwards, one step at a time.

Risk Management Basics

A practical look at how losses are limited before a trade is opened. Topics include position sizing, stop-loss placement, the ratio between possible gain and possible loss, and why a single trade should only put a small part of capital at stake. Worked examples show how the same setup behaves under different sizing rules.

Foreign Exchange Fundamentals

Currency pairs, base and quote currencies, pips and lot sizes are explained in plain terms. The module shows how interest rates, inflation figures and central bank statements tend to influence exchange rates, and how a pound is priced against other currencies. Practice uses a simulated account so no real funds are exposed during learning.

Shares and Index Funds

This module covers how company shares are issued, traded and valued at a basic level. It explains dividends, market capitalisation and the difference between holding a single share and an index fund. You will compare how a broad index and one company move over the same period, and what that means for concentration of risk.

Technical Indicators

Moving averages, relative strength index, MACD and Bollinger bands are introduced one by one. For each indicator the module shows the formula in simple terms, what it measures, and where it tends to mislead. The emphasis is on understanding the limits of every tool, rather than stacking many of them on a single chart.

Fundamental Analysis Intro

An overview of the economic and company data that feeds into price. You will read an earnings release, look at revenue and profit lines, and see how a scheduled economic announcement is placed on a calendar. The module explains how to separate a headline from the numbers behind it and how to note what was expected beforehand.

Simulated Trading Practice

A demonstration account lets you place orders using virtual money against real market data. You practise market and limit orders, set stops and targets, and watch how spreads and slippage affect a result. Every session ends with a short review of your decisions, so patterns in your own behaviour become visible and can be adjusted.

Building a Trading Plan

A written plan reduces decisions made on impulse. This module walks through defining which markets to follow, entry and exit conditions, maximum exposure and the times of day you will look at screens. You finish with a one-page document in your own words, which you can test on the simulated account and revise as you learn.

Trading Psychology

Fear after a loss, overconfidence after a win and the urge to chase a missed move are covered with practical examples. The module introduces a trade journal, in which you record the reasoning and your state of mind alongside each decision. Reviewing these entries is the main exercise, and it is meant to be repeated regularly.

Choosing a Broker and Platform

A neutral checklist for comparing trading platforms without naming any provider. It covers regulation status to look for, how fees and spreads are stated, deposit and withdrawal terms, order types offered and the clarity of the interface. You learn which questions to ask and where to read the terms before opening any account.

Spotting Scams and Unrealistic Claims

A module on recognising promises that should raise doubt: assured returns, pressure to deposit quickly, unsolicited messages from strangers and signal sellers with no verifiable method. You work through described scenarios and learn which checks to make first. The aim is to keep a cautious habit, since trading always carries the risk of losing money.
