Clear answers for your trading path

Yes. The academy starts from the fundamentals and the roadmap breaks practice into stages so you always know where you are. If you already have experience, check each stage’s exit criteria instead of rushing past it, and move on only when you have practical evidence of the skill.

You need neither prior experience nor real money to start learning. You can read the lessons, practise on historical data or a demo account, and log the result in the trading journal. Before any live trade, read the Risk Disclosure and only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Start with the roadmap to see the whole path, then take the first academy lesson that matches your level. Alongside it, use the trading journal to log your practice and the risk calculator to test scenarios. That order is what connects learning, execution and review.

No, and that is deliberate. The tools exist to sharpen your own analysis and decisions, not to hand you orders. Be cautious of guaranteed-return promises, pressure to deposit quickly and anonymous tips on social media; Investor.gov warns about investment fraud on social media. Our approach is explained on About.

Judge it by what you can verify, not by our claim. The core learning path is available on the free plan with no payment and no card, nothing here promises guaranteed profit, and the limitations are written plainly in the Risk Disclosure, the Terms and on Pricing. Look through the academy and the blog yourself, then decide.

The core learning path and a set of tools are available on the free Discipline plan: the academy, the trading journal, the risk calculator and missions. Some advanced features, higher limits and companion services depend on a paid plan. Because features and limits can change, Pricing is the source of truth for comparing plans.

Content is split into courses and short lessons, each with a quiz and progress tracking. Finishing the content is not the goal in itself: you need to apply the concept in demo or market replay practice and record the outcome. The current course list is shown in the academy.

If you are a beginner, start with Market Basics. If you have experience, review the roadmap and each stage’s readiness criteria to find your real skill gap, then pick the course that closes that gap rather than the shortest one.

A certificate shows you completed the defined lessons and assessments of that course. It is not a professional licence, investment advice, or proof of profitability or challenge success. The learning and assessment path is visible in the academy.

Much of what is taught about market structure, execution, risk and psychology carries across markets, although the examples lean towards forex and other commonly traded instruments. Before trading any instrument, separately check its contract specification, liquidity, volatility, leverage and regulation. Market Basics is a good place to begin.

The trading journal lets you record entry and exit details, stop and target, size, profit and loss, R multiple, strategy and setup, session, screenshots, emotions, plan adherence and review notes. The value of that data is in surfacing repeated patterns in your decisions and execution, not in counting wins and losses.

Three ways: manual entry, MT4 and MT5 CSV import, and direct MetaTrader synchronization for supported accounts. Availability and usage limits can depend on your plan or connection type, so check the current state on Journal and Pricing.

Do not read win rate on its own. Reward to risk, average R, drawdown, plan adherence, execution quality, performance by session or setup, and behavioural mistakes all have to be read together. The journal is built for exactly this multi dimensional review, and the Risk Disclosure explains the limits of reading past results.

A short note straight after the trade plus one consistent weekly review usually beats long, scattered reflection. Each review, pick one or two testable patterns, write a specific action for the coming week, and measure the result again. Missions turn that review into small, trackable steps.

Journal data is processed and stored to provide logging, analysis and reporting inside your own account. The data collected, the infrastructure providers and how to request access or deletion are set out in the Privacy Policy. Never send credentials, keys or sensitive data outside the product’s official flows.

The risk calculator takes account balance, chosen risk percentage and stop distance, then works out the amount at risk and an approximate position size, and shows the scenario’s reward to risk ratio. The output is only as correct as your inputs, and it does not replace checking contract specifications or following your trade plan.

Even a good setup fails; position size decides what that failure does to the account. Define a logical stop and the risk you can tolerate first, then derive the size from them. The official CME guide to proper position size explains the same order.

Not necessarily. That ratio only compares potential reward with planned loss; it says nothing about the probability of price reaching the target. Setup quality, stop logic, trading costs and your observed hit rate have to be read together. Revisit the execution concepts in Trade Mechanics.

Leverage magnifies gains and losses alike, so a small market move can wipe out a meaningful part of your capital. The CFTC forex advisory and the FCA explanation of CFD risk both warn about rapid losses and potential conflicts of interest. Read the Risk Disclosure before using leverage.

No. The calculator only returns numbers from the inputs you give it. Executing the stop, allowing for slippage and costs, respecting a daily loss limit and stopping after a plan breach are still on you. Write a plan, and use the CME guide to risk management in a trade plan to define your failure scenarios.

It means the thought, emotion and behaviour patterns that shape your trading decisions: fear, FOMO, greed, overconfidence and revenge trading. The goal is not to remove emotion, which is not possible, but to build rules that make decisions observable and reviewable. Start with Psychology.

Before entry, write down the setup, stop, target, risk size and the condition that invalidates the trade. If a trade does not match the checklist, or your only motive after a loss is a fast recovery, stay out and record why in the journal. The step by step framework is on the Psychology page.

No. An active day can be a journal review, a mindset note, some practice or finishing a lesson; you do not have to trade every day. Missions reinforce the actions you control, they do not push you to trade more.

XP tracks progress through activities such as lessons, missions and consistent logging. The discipline score is a separate measure of behaviours like plan adherence, journaling and consistency. Neither equals profitability, and neither is permission to raise your risk. The details are on Missions and Scoring.

Under the current model, no. Profit and win rate do not generate discipline points, and more trades earn no automatic reward; overtrading can even signal weaker discipline. The FCA has warned about gamified trading app design and riskier behaviour. The scoring logic is explained on Scoring.

A funded account is generally an account a third party firm makes available after an evaluation or challenge, under its own rules for profit split, drawdown, prohibited strategies and payouts. These models are not all the same. Read that provider’s agreement and rules in full before paying, and use the roadmap to assess your own readiness.

No. What Fundedologist provides is education, practice tools, performance logging and behavioural readiness. Any funded account, trading account or financial agreement you obtain from a third party is governed by that provider’s rules and responsibilities. Our role and its limits are explained in About, the Terms and the Risk Disclosure.

No. Education, the journal, the calculator and discipline scoring can make your decision process more structured, but they cannot guarantee market results, challenge success, keeping the account or receiving a payout. Drawdown rules and the challenge fee itself can create losses. Read the roadmap and the Risk Disclosure before you commit.

The legal entity, jurisdiction, ownership, fees, daily and maximum drawdown rules, prohibited strategies, termination and payout terms, and their support record. If a firm claims regulation, verify it directly with the relevant official authority; for United States claims use CFTC Check. No screenshot or influencer endorsement replaces the contract and an official lookup.

Do not buy the next challenge straight away. First work out where the failure came from: risk, market understanding, behaviour, order execution, or not knowing that firm’s rules. Review the examples in your journal, go back to the relevant roadmap stage, and set a clear exit criterion for the next practice cycle.

The free Discipline plan gives you core access to the academy, the journal, the risk calculator, missions and scoring. The paid Execute and Evolve plans add higher limits, fuller tools and companion services. Because names, prices and limits can change, base any purchase decision on Pricing alone.

No. Each period is paid upfront and there is no auto renewal, so nothing is ever charged without an action from you. Recheck the access length and benefits on Pricing and at final checkout before paying; what is shown there takes precedence over any older description.

Points are the credit that AI tools run on, and each analysis consumes a set amount depending on the model you choose. Every plan receives its own monthly allowance, and extra point packs can be bought from inside the dashboard. Running out only stops the analyses that depend on points; the rest of your plan keeps working. Current numbers are on Pricing.

No. The AI works from the data you give it to produce patterns, strengths, weaknesses and suggested actions. That output can be incomplete or wrong, and it must never automatically drive an entry, an exit or a risk increase. Always weigh it against the raw journal data, your own plan and the Risk Disclosure.

Mentoring is a separate paid service, booked session by session, focused on your own weak spots and path. It suits someone who has already worked through the basics and wants direct feedback, not someone starting from zero. The mentoring discount depends on your active plan, and the current terms are on Pricing. Like every other service here, mentoring guarantees no trading outcome.

First pull the plan name, amount, access period and transaction reference from your receipt and account. Never send a password, one time code or wallet key to support. Then report the issue with those non sensitive details through Contact. Payment responsibilities are covered in the Terms.

Under the Terms and the Privacy Policy you must be at least 18. Rules on trading and access to financial services differ by country, and checking the restrictions where you live is your own responsibility.

Depending on how you use the product, data such as account details, learning progress, journal trades and notes, uploaded images, settings, support messages and technical or analytics data may be processed. The full list and the purpose of each is in the Privacy Policy. Do not submit sensitive information that is not needed.

The site relies on infrastructure providers for authentication, database, hosting, analytics and communications, and the current ones are named in the Privacy Policy. Each provider also operates under its own policies, so for a sensitive decision read that provider’s current terms separately.

Send the request through Contact from the email linked to your account, so identity and scope can be verified. For your own safety, never send a password, two factor code, one time password or private key. Your rights and the retention limits are explained in the Privacy Policy.

The site is fully mobile friendly and installs on your phone as a web app, so there is nothing to download from an app store. Just choose “Add to Home Screen” in your browser and it opens like an app.

For general questions or sign in problems use Contact. If your account has ticket access, that route is better for technical follow up because it attaches to your account. Include a precise description, the time, the page address and a screenshot with no sensitive details. Usage rules and prohibited conduct are in the Terms.
