Learn to invest with a method, not with hunches

Online and in-person courses where every concept comes with its formula, its data and a model you can use. Courses are taught in Spanish.

The uncomfortable truth

Most people lose money in FOREX. I'll explain why, with numbers.

Almost no course starts by telling you this. I'd rather you know it before paying for one, including mine.

74–89%
of retail accounts trading CFDs lose money.Source: European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
97%
of those who day traded for at least 300 days lost money.Source: Chague, De-Losso and Giovannetti, FGV (index futures, Brazil).

The three reasons, in numbers

  • 1% × 100 = 100%LeverageAt 1:100, a 1% move against you wipes out your entire margin.
  • E[R] − spread < 0The cost of every tradeYou always pay the spread. If your strategy doesn't beat it, the more you trade, the more you lose.
  • P(ruin) ↑ with sizePosition sizeRisking too much per trade makes ruin almost certain, even if you're right more than half the time.

What you can control

I don't promise you'll win. I teach you to measure your risk before opening a trade, to calculate the size of each position and to practice on a demo account before risking real money.

Transparency: I work with brokers as an introducing broker and receive a commission when someone opens an account. I explain how it works in the course.

No. We start from the basics and every formula is explained with an Excel example you can reproduce.
