Three structured guides written by the PipDig research desk. They are free, they are not a funnel into a paid course, and each one is built around a single idea rather than trying to cover everything at once.
Beginner · 68 pages
The questions every new trader asks, answered in order
Written for someone who has opened a demo account and does not yet know what to do with it. It covers the mechanics in the order they actually matter, and spends more time on position sizing than on entries — which is the reverse of most beginner material, deliberately.
Intermediate · 84 pages
Building a plan around what you can afford to lose
For traders who have a strategy but keep giving back gains. The material treats risk as the input to the plan rather than a constraint bolted on afterwards, and works through the arithmetic of drawdown recovery that makes large losses so expensive.

Spread, commission, swap and slippage, measured properly
A short, numerate guide for active traders. It shows how to build a cost model from your own execution history, which usually reveals that the account type you chose is wrong for the number of lots you actually trade.
