Reasoning over entries
An entry with no explanation teaches you nothing. Mark says why a level matters, where the stop goes and what would prove the idea wrong, so you learn to read the chart yourself instead of copying someone else's trades.

The story
The long way in
Mark started trading in 2019. There was no clean path in for him. He learned the hard way.
His early years in the markets came with real losses. He kept studying, kept reviewing his mistakes and slowly worked out what actually worked for him.
What he landed on was not a trick. It was a routine he could repeat every morning, a structured way to read the chart through Smart Money Concepts, and risk rules he keeps whether the last trade won or lost.
MarksFX Academy is the academy he wished he'd had when he started: one place to learn how markets and money actually work, learn the framework step by step, watch it applied on live charts, and ask questions of someone who has been through the same early mistakes.
Today he trades live in front of members every weekday from 8 to 11AM Pacific, on gold, NAS100 and SPX500. Members see the whole process: the prep, the plan and the reasoning, including the setups he decides to skip.
