Sheet 08 · About
We draw the market out so you can read it yourself.
LearnForexInfo is a free forex education site. We started it because most trading content is either too vague to learn from or too eager to sell something.
Forex is the largest market in the world, and one of the easiest to start trading — which is exactly why it catches so many beginners out. Leverage turns small mistakes into large ones, and much of what's written about it skips the mechanics entirely.
We take the opposite approach. The Syllabus teaches one concept at a time and checks you've got it. Field Notes show those concepts at work in the live market. The Workbench lets you run the numbers before risking a cent.
Think of the site as a set of drawings: each sheet shows one part of the machine, to scale, with the measurements written on.

House rules
- 01
Mechanics before opinions
You should understand what a pip, a margin call and a central bank surprise are before anyone tells you which way a pair is going.
- 02
Show the working
Every bias on our Blueprints sheet comes with written reasoning. Every calculator shows its formula. If you can't check it, we haven't done our job.
- 03
No signals, no promises
We don't sell trade signals or guaranteed returns. Most retail CFD accounts lose money, and we say so plainly on every page that mentions a broker.
- 04
Disclose the money
Some broker links are affiliate links and may pay us a commission. They're always marked as sponsored and don't change our inspection criteria.
