About This Course
A good strategy means nothing if you can't execute it properly. This course covers the technical side of trading: how to set up your platform, understand execution costs, and avoid the simple mistakes that sabotage good trades.
You will learn to configure MetaTrader 5 (the most common prop firm platform), compare platforms like cTrader and TradingView, and understand the hidden costs of trading like spread, commission, and slippage. We provide a complete checklist to run through before any prop firm challenge.
This is the unsexy but essential foundation. Master it once, and you never have to worry about technical failures again.
Requirements
- A demo trading account to practice configuration
- Access to MetaTrader 5 (or your prop firm's required platform)
Who This Is For
- New traders setting up their first platform
- Anyone about to start a prop firm challenge
