How we write these lessons

How we write these lessons

What this course is

A free, ordered introduction to retail forex and CFD trading for readers in Kenya. It explains mechanics — orders, costs, leverage, position size — and it does not recommend trades, forecast prices, or offer a strategy to follow.

Where the figures come from

Worked examples use round numbers near a reference price on EUR/USD, chosen so the arithmetic is easy to follow by hand. Charts in the lessons are schematic diagrams drawn to show a mechanism; they are not price feeds and are labelled as schematics.

What we check before publishing

Three things: that anything said about a regulator matches that regulator's own register, that every worked example recomputes correctly, and that no lesson promises a result. Pages carry the date they were last reviewed.

Who writes it

The lessons are written and reviewed by LearnFX Editorial Desk. Responsibility for the content sits with that team as an organisation.

The course guide

Wanjiru is an illustrated guide drawn in the page: a character who introduces sections and flags common mistakes. She is not a person, not an author, and not an expert — she is a drawing, and she is labelled as the course guide wherever she appears.

Corrections

If a figure or a claim on any page is wrong, it gets corrected and the review date changes with it.

What a lesson contains

Every lesson follows the same shape: what you learn in three minutes, a diagram of the mechanism, the same thing worked out in money, the mistake most people make, and two or three questions to check yourself against. If a lesson cannot be written that way, it is a definition rather than a lesson, and it belongs in a glossary instead.

Why the course is free and how the site is paid for

The lessons are free and complete: nothing is held back for a paid tier, and there is no sign-up. Where a page links to a broker, the link is marked as such and may earn the site a commission. That arrangement pays for the writing and changes nothing in it — a broker is named when naming one is the honest answer to the question on the page, and not otherwise.
