What you'll learn
Most of us were never taught how markets work, how to think about risk or how to plan with money. MarksFX Academy covers both sides: the skill of reading a market, and the money habits that sit underneath it.
01
How price moves between highs and lows, how to read trend and structure, and how Smart Money Concepts such as liquidity and order blocks help explain what a market has done. You learn to mark up a chart yourself.
02
Why risk comes first. How a stop-loss works, how position size connects to the amount you are prepared to lose on a single trade, and why keeping that amount small and consistent matters more than any one outcome.
03
Fear, impatience, overconfidence and the urge to win back a loss, and how to notice them in yourself. You learn to keep a journal, review your decisions honestly and build habits that keep you on your own plan.
04
The basics in plain English: what owning a share means, how an options contract works and why it carries its own risks, and what indices like the NAS100 and SPX500 measure. Gold is one of the other markets studied in class.
05
How budgeting, saving, debt and compounding fit together, the fundamentals of long-term investing, and how it differs from short-term trading. So trading stays one part of a bigger financial picture, not the whole plan.
06
How to prepare before a session: checking the economic calendar for major news, marking key levels and writing down your plan and your risk in advance. The free pre-market checklist is a good place to start.

Mark Bechara · Founder
Your teacher
Mark has been trading since 2019. He learned the hard way, through early losses and years of study, and built MarksFX Academy as the place he wished he'd had: one academy to learn how markets and money actually work.
His teaching comes down to process, structure and risk: a routine you can repeat, a clear read of market structure, and risk rules set before every decision. He explains his reasoning out loud in every class, including the times he decides to wait, so you learn how to think for yourself.

Questions
Start with the onboarding section and the SMC course, which begins with the basics of market structure. The student guide, the Risk Mastery PDF and the recordings vault let you learn at your own pace, and you can bring questions to the live classes or the community.
No. MarksFX Academy is education. Mark explains how he reads a chart and plans risk so you can learn the reasoning and build your own judgment. Nothing shared in class or in the community is a recommendation or personal financial advice. Every decision, and its risk, is yours.
No. You can work through the course, watch the classes and practice your pre-market routine without placing a trade. A demo account is a sensible place to start. If you do trade real money, only use money you can afford to lose.
Yes. Live classes run weekdays 8–11AM Pacific, and every class is recorded to the vault, so you can study when your day allows. The course, the student guide and the journal are all self-paced.
