Entry Level

When stepping into the world of investing and trading, where do you begin? A solid foundation is indispensable for seizing success. The Fundora Education Program Entry Level is precisely that foundational first step in your trading career.

1. The “Key” to Advancing to the Next Level

“Why do so many traders get forced out of the market?” The answer is not a lack of complex technical analysis knowledge. It’s the misconception of trading as gambling—a game of guessing the future.

What Fundora wants to tell you first is that trading means confronting the “truth told by numbers” and harnessing the cold mathematical concept of expected value. Success in trading is not about luck or relying on intuition or gut feeling. It requires solid knowledge, systematic understanding, and consistent principles of action.

This program allows complete beginners and novice traders to view trading as a science and learn its fundamentals systematically from the ground up. There is no “absolute correct answer” in trading, but to make decisions you believe in, you need sufficient knowledge and clear standards. By learning here, you will understand market movements on your own terms and make decisions confidently, without being swayed by market fluctuations.

2. Content That Puts “Core” into Your Trading

The Fundora Entry Level covers:

• Thorough understanding of legal & ethical conduct standards
• The concept of expected value and the scientific foundation of risk management
• Market mechanics and the essence of investment instruments
• Practical learning in a demo trading environment

By mastering these, you will grasp the basics of the complex world of trading. Above all, this volume’s objective is to clarify how markets move and the principles and mechanisms behind them.

3. What You’ll Learn and Its Benefits

Entry Level focuses especially on “expected value” and “risk management,” the core elements determining trading success:

• The amazing power of a 1:2 risk-reward ratio: Many beginners believe they need a 60% win rate. But setting a 2:1 risk-reward ratio lowers the theoretical break-even win rate to just 33.3%.
• **Balsara's Bankruptcy Probability Calculation:This calculation quantifies the probability of going bankrupt if you continue trading with your current strategy (including win rate, risk-reward ratio, and risk per trade). It allows you to mathematically—and strikingly—understand why limiting the risk per trade is a critical rule in trading.
• APPT expected value calculation & historical background: Master the calculation of expected value—the sole metric for evaluating any trading strategy. Learn that this concept dates back to Pascal and Fermat in the 17th century, adding historical depth and authority to your analysis.
• Dynamic risk management using ATR: Learn the professional method of automatically adjusting stop-loss distance and position size based on market volatility (Average True Range).

By studying these systematically, you’ll break free from emotional trading and make scientific, objective decisions. The risk management principles you learn include concrete rules that you can apply immediately in real trades.

4. “Usable Skills” Born from Here

Imagine trading calmly and confidently, analyzing market movements logically, and executing each trade precisely while balancing expected value and risk—without emotional impulses.

The knowledge and experience gained in Fundora Entry Level provide the powerful foundation you need to approach that ideal trader image. You will face data objectively, seize market movements as opportunities, and trade with confidence.
