Trading From Zero — AXIOM Education Series Book 1
LEVEL 1 · FOUNDATIONS · BOOK 1
The first book in the AXIOM Education Series, and the place to start if you have never placed a trade.
Most beginners don't lose money because of a bad strategy. They lose it because they don't know what the numbers on their own screen mean while real money sits behind them. This book fixes that, slowly and properly. You won't place a real trade in it. By the last page you'll understand every number on the platform and have placed one practice trade.
- What a market and a price actually are, explained with a market stall before any jargon
- Currency pairs: why buying USD/JPY means buying dollars and paying with yen
- Brokers and CFDs: what you actually own, how brokers are paid, and what regulation does and doesn't protect
- Pips, lots and the spread, each with diagrams and worked numbers
- Margin, the chapter that matters most: a £500 account followed step by step to a margin call, with balance, equity and free margin at every stage
- Leverage: why 30:1 is a ceiling, not a target
- Orders: market, limit, stop, stop-loss, take-profit and trailing stop
- Your first practice trade, narrated, including what it will feel like
Every term is explained before it's used. Every mechanical chapter ends with an On your screen section describing exactly what you'll see, and every chapter closes with key takeaways. Includes a full glossary and a sources page.
