A risk-reward ratio is a key metric that experienced traders calculate before entering a trade. By determining the potential profit and loss of a position ahead of time, traders can assess whether it’s worth risking their hard earned capital. Yet, while it’s easy to understand in theory, some struggle with the concept in practice. How can careful consideration of possible scenarios improve your portfolio drawdowns?
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• The logic behind risk-reward analysis and how professionals use it to determine appropriate trades
• How to calculate the ratio based on expected take-profit and stop-loss levels
• How to determine prudent ratios based on the volatility of different FX pairs
• Real-time examples of how to implement the analysis for day trading and swing trading

With the FX market riding the political and macroeconomic roller coaster throughout 2025, narratives have been a large driver of currency performance. But, while random news headlines create uncertainty, technical analysis has proven to be an effective method for identifying opportunities and managing risk. By drowning out the noise and prioritising attractive setups with positive win-loss ratios, you increase your chances of long-term success.
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• The advantages of technical analysis and why reading the chart can provide useful insights into FX pairs’ likely direction
• How to study price action and determine key support and resistance levels
• How to identify trends and momentum by analysing the RSI, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator
• Why technical analysis enhances risk management, and tips to develop professional exit strategies

When you have a full-time job and responsibilities outside of work, there isn’t enough time in the day to study the FX market like an institutional investor. However, successful day traders often attack the market for 1-2 hours a day, which provides flexibility and helps maintain mental sharpness. On top of that, day trading is an excellent way to perfect a single strategy and practice professional risk management.
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• How day trading differs from swing trading, and why the former supports smaller drawdowns
• How to size your positions when playing for small gains over short timeframes
• The best indicators for day trading, and examples of how to layer several indicators for more reliable insights
• Winning strategies adopted by experienced day traders across popular USD currency pairs

The U.S. dollar finds itself at a major inflection point. Despite a resilient U.S. economy, a relatively hawkish Fed, and positive interest rate differentials, the greenback has underperformed several of its developed-market peers. Moreover, even the S&P 500’s epic comeback hasn’t ignited much dollar optimism. As a result, with tariffs and technicals still serving as bearish headwinds, should we expect further downside in the weeks ahead?
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• The key levels confronting popular USD pairs, and whether the price action supports continuations or reversals
• Strategies to trade the USD/JPY and EUR/USD across short and medium-term timeframes
• How to confirm breakouts and breakdowns and spot attractive setups before major moves occur
• Stop-loss strategies to limit the downside when trends shift
