What Forex is according to the company

The company presents Forex as the world's most widely traded market, with an average volume of more than $7 trillion per day. It notes that it operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, which allows for high liquidity and flexible trading times. Among the reasons it cites to explain its appeal, it mentions low entry barriers, the possibility of making profits in both rising and falling markets, technological advances in trading platforms and the freedom to trade according to each person's availability.

Courses and training programs

The main program it promotes is 'Learn Forex', an immersive three-day course that can be taken online or in person, although in-person attendance is only available in some countries. The company also runs free web classes as an entry point and offers a personalized one-to-one mentorship membership, presented as an award-winning program, in which a coach supports the trader in improving their skills. The training is complemented by resources such as 'Ask The Experts', a series of episodes with specialists, and a blog with market news.

It includes more than 120 technical indicators and drawing tools, multi-timeframe analysis and an interface designed to make it easy to use for both beginners and professionals.
