Questions

Is Swiftedge Academy free?

Level 1, with 9 lessons, is free for everyone. Levels 2 to 6, the final exam and the certificate are part of Swiftedge Plus. The Swiftedge tools themselves stay free.

How long does it take?

Each lesson takes about five minutes. All 58 lessons take around 4.6 hours, at your own pace.

Do I need trading experience?

No. Level 1 starts with what a price is and how an order meets the order book. Each level builds on the one before.

Is the data real?

Yes. Every chart, simulation and image is made from real Swiftedge market data: Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, oil and US indices.

Will it give me trading signals?

No. The school teaches you to read the market and to test ideas honestly. Where a popular method failed our own tests, the lesson says so.
