Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about the books, the video courses, the Dubai classes and how to get started.

About the Books

What is the TradingTeaching book series?

The Forex Series is three books from TradingTeaching Press, written to be read in order:

  • Book 1: Forex Trading Foundations - how the market works, charts and risk management
  • Book 2: Forex Trading Strategies - technical analysis and trading strategies with written rules
  • Book 3: Forex Trading Mastery - institutional methods and Smart Money Concepts

The author, Vadamalai Subramaniam, is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) who completed QuantInsti's Executive Programme in Algorithmic Trading (EPAT), with 15+ years of professional market knowledge.

Do I need trading experience to start with Book 1?

No prior experience is required. Book 1 (Forex Trading Foundations) starts from the basics and is written for readers who have never traded.

It explains what the forex market is, how currency pairs and orders work, how to choose a broker and platform, and how to size a position.

Should I read the books in order?

Yes. Each book builds on the one before it:

  • Book 1 establishes the foundation
  • Book 2 introduces trading strategies (requires Book 1 knowledge)
  • Book 3 covers institutional methods (requires Books 1-2)

Experienced traders may start with Book 2 or 3, but should at least review the risk rules in Book 1, which the later books assume.

How long does it take to complete all three books?

It depends on your pace and prior experience. As a guide:

  • Each book takes 2-4 weeks of steady study
  • With the quizzes and demo practice, allow 3-6 months for the series

Trading is a skill that takes practice. Work through each chapter on a demo account before moving on.

Trading & Risk

Can I make money following your strategies?

Important: Trading forex involves significant risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The books teach methods with written rules and show the results, including the losing trades. What happens in your own account depends on:

  • Your practice on a demo account
  • Risk management: 1% of the account per trade, 0.5% through your first live year
  • Emotional discipline
  • Market conditions

No strategy guarantees profits.

How much money do I need to start trading?

We recommend:

  • Demo Account - Start with virtual money (free)
  • Micro Account - As little as $100-500 for real trading
  • Standard Account - $2,000-10,000 for more flexibility

Important: Only trade with money you can afford to lose. The books teach position sizing so that risk stays the same whatever the account size.

Do you recommend a specific broker?

No. We do not recommend a broker. In the UAE, check the firm is licensed by the DFSA (DIFC), the FSRA (ADGM) or the Capital Market Authority (formerly SCA). Elsewhere, check your national regulator.

Book 1 explains what else to look for: spreads and fees, platform and execution, and customer support.
