## 02 · Wallets, keys and custody

Objective: Explain who controls assets and how to protect access.

Write a recovery plan without recording any real seed phrase. Name two places where you would never type it.

## 03 · Networks, fees and stablecoins

Objective: Check the asset, destination and network before a transfer.

Create a five-item pre-transfer checklist: asset identity, supported network, destination, memo if required, and fee.

## 04 · Spot, margin and futures

Objective: Separate ownership, borrowing and derivative exposure.

Use the lab at 1×, 5× and 10×. Keep collateral and price move fixed. Explain why risk changes.

What I still need to understand:

## 05 · Orders, costs and risk budgets

Objective: Calculate a position from a defined loss budget.

Change the stop distance in the lab. Record how quantity changes. Explain why doubling quantity doubles price exposure.

## 06 · Your first research plan

Objective: Distinguish a testable claim from an attractive chart.

Write a one-page research charter: hypothesis, rules, cost assumptions, development period, holdout period and rejection criteria.

My explanation:

What I still need to understand:

## 07 · Workshop: the trend hypothesis

Objective: State a falsifiable long-only spot strategy.

Write the hypothesis in one sentence and list two market conditions in which it may fail.

My explanation:

My calculation or evidence:

What I still need to understand:

## 08 · Workshop: execution without hindsight

Objective: Translate the hypothesis into unambiguous execution rules.

Write the sequence signal → next open → size → stop → exit. Identify every price that becomes known only later.

What I still need to understand:

## 09 · Workshop: losing trades and evaluation

Objective: Assess the strategy across regimes and costs.

Calculate both profit factors yourself. Explain why a positive-looking gross backtest can fail after costs.

What I still need to understand:

## 10 · Workshop capstone: defend your system

Objective: Produce a reproducible research report and a go/no-go decision.

Download the worksheet, complete the report and record your decision: reject, revise with a new holdout, or paper-test the frozen version.

# Forex track workbook

Prerequisite: foundation lessons. All exercises are simulations.

## 11 · Forex: reading a currency pair

Objective: Identify base currency, quote currency and trade direction.

Assignment: Explain EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY aloud. For each, identify what you are long when you buy.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 12 · Pips, points and lot sizes

Objective: Calculate movement and quote-currency P&L.

Assignment: Use the pip lab at 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 units. Explain why USD/JPY profit needs conversion for a USD account.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 13 · Bid, ask and the true cost of a trade

Objective: Explain spread, commission, slippage and overnight financing.

Assignment: Write a cost ledger for an imaginary trade: spread, entry commission, exit commission, slippage and financing. Mark each assumption.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 14 · Margin is not a loss limit

Objective: Distinguish collateral from position risk.

Assignment: Keep exposure fixed in the margin lab and vary leverage. Then explain why “small margin required” does not mean “small risk.”

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 15 · Position sizing with a risk budget

Objective: Size a USD-quoted FX trade and allow for execution costs.

Assignment: Calculate the example, then round to an assumed 1,000-unit step. Record the reduced planned exposure and explain why the step is an assumption.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 16 · Sessions, news and economic drivers

Objective: Plan around changing liquidity without treating news as a signal.

Assignment: Build tomorrow’s paper-trading schedule using UTC, local time and broker time. Record the official source for each event and your chosen no-entry window.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 17 · Structure, liquidity and confirmation

Objective: Define observable patterns without claiming to see institutional intent.

Assignment: Mark the level before revealing subsequent candles in the replay. Write precisely when the level and reclaim become known.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 18 · Workshop: a frozen forex sweep specification

Objective: Turn a setup into repeatable rules before evaluating it.

Assignment: Copy these rules into the workbook. Identify required bid/ask and tick-volume data. Do not run this through Crucible until its schema supports every rule; this is not wired to the engine yet.

My calculations:

Data and execution assumptions:

My explanation:

## 19 · Workshop: audit wins, losses and gaps

Objective: Evaluate the complete sample, including adverse execution.

Assignment: Create a trade-log row for a win, ordinary stop and gap stop. Explain how fees and spread enter each row exactly once.

My explanation:

## 20 · Forex capstone and paper-trading checklist

Objective: Defend a complete forex plan before considering execution.

Assignment: Submit your workbook with a paper-trading plan and a reasoned decision: reject, revise and retest, or continue paper observation. Include what evidence would change your decision.
