Which course fits which trader
You are starting from zero
Benzinga Forex 101 costs $47 on Benzinga's course site and covers forex pairs, short selling, fundamental and technical analysis, the risk and reward ratio, chart options and settings, and trade examples. The same course on Udemy lists 7 sections, 44 lectures and 8h 59m of video, last updated in November 2020. Simpler Trading's Forex 101 by Raghee Horner was $27 on November 1, 2026 (list price $97) and teaches her trend approach, including her GRaB candles and the 34-period EMA; our list of forex trading indicators covers that kind of moving average. Before either, our introduction to the forex market explains how the market works.
You want a room, not only a course
HowToTrade is what ForexSignals.com became: the old address now leads to HowToTrade. Its Trading Room costs $29 a month after a 7-day free trial. Its Academy to Career program, at $549 one time, is mainly a funded trader evaluation, with Academy access included: 180 days to trade a $10,000 account, with 75% of the profits kept, according to the pricing page. Home Trader Club, which replaced Traders Academy Club, offers a free account, a $37 monthly plan or $370 a year, and an All Inclusive plan at $77 a month or $770 a year.

You want a mentor
Six Figure Capital sells lifetime access to its mentoring for £800 at once, or in 12 monthly payments of £97 (£1,164 in total); both plans list a 14-day course and a harmonic pattern course.
Asia Forex Mentor's One Core Program, sold by Ezekiel Chew, was on sale at $940 on November 1, 2026, with a stated price of $2,497 after the sale. The sales page lists self-paced video modules on price action, entries, stops and exits, chart reading (Elliott waves, Fibonacci, trendlines, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Stochastics and MACD), sixteen strategies, trade management and psychology. It is also built on earnings claims, from "6 figures per trade" to 950% in two weeks, and we found no refund terms on it. Ask for the syllabus and the refund terms in writing before paying.
How to read a course sales page
Most sales pages in this list are built from the same parts, and none of those parts tells you what the course teaches. Each item on the left of the diagram pushes you to buy now; each item on the right is something a serious vendor can give you in writing before you pay. Home Trader Club shows the gap clearly: member profit statements from 2018 on its home page, and at the bottom of the same page a disclaimer on the limits of hypothetical performance results.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best forex course for beginners?
Among the six we compared, Benzinga Forex 101 ($47) and Simpler Trading Forex 101 ($27 on November 1, 2026) are the beginner options. Benzinga's is broader; Raghee Horner's teaches one trend method.
Is $100 enough to start forex?
Some brokers accept small deposits, but a small account with leverage can be wiped out by a few losing trades; our guide to lot size in forex shows how position size changes that risk. Spend the first months on a demo account; our paper trading apps guide lists ways to practice without money at risk.
Are expensive forex courses better?
Not by price alone. The most expensive program here also makes the boldest earnings claims. Compare syllabus, update date, trial and refund terms instead.
Is Asia Forex Mentor worth it?
We did not take the course, so we cannot judge it. On November 1, 2026 the One Core Program cost $940 on sale and $2,497 after the sale, and its sales page leaned on earnings claims without refund terms. Ask for the full syllabus and the refund policy in writing before you pay.
Can a course make me a profitable forex trader?
No course can promise that. ESMA reported in 2018 that 74 to 89% of retail CFD accounts, a product that covers currency pairs, typically lose money. A course can teach a method; it cannot change those odds by itself.
