Due diligence
The idea
Finishing lessons is a milestone in learning, not certification of trading ability. Use a demo routine to test whether you can apply rules consistently, understand the platform and account for costs. Decide in advance what records and evidence you need before considering any change in exposure.
A worked example
A profitable demo week with repeated size violations offers weaker process evidence than a carefully documented period with normal losses.
Try it yourself
Build a four-week practice schedule with a market, session, risk rule and weekly review checklist.
A mistake to avoid
Assuming course completion or a quiz score demonstrates readiness for real-money leverage.
