Lessons
Six mini-tutorials, in order
Each lesson is a single concrete skill — what to click, what changes, what to do next. Follow them in order if you're brand new; skip ahead if you already know parts of the platform. Estimated times are honest — none of these need a full afternoon.
Lesson 1 — Platform tour
5 minutesOpen the demo in your browser or mobile app. Locate the four core panels: chart (centre), instrument browser / watchlist (side), order ticket (opens when you click buy or sell), open-positions panel (bottom or separate tab). Click into each one to see what's there. Goal: stop being surprised by where things are.
Lesson 2 — Reading the order ticket
5 minutesOpen EUR/USD (or any liquid instrument). Click buy. The order ticket appears with fields: position size, multiplier, take-profit, stop-loss, plus a cost summary (spread, commission, required margin). Change the size and the multiplier one at a time and watch the cost summary update live. Don't confirm yet — this lesson is reading the ticket, not placing a trade.
Lesson 3 — Setting a stop-loss
7 minutesOn the same EUR/USD ticket, set a stop-loss 20 pips below the current price (if buying) or 20 pips above (if selling). Notice how the 'max loss' figure updates in account currency. Adjust the position size so that max loss is no more than $5–10 — the goal is to feel the relationship between stop distance, position size, and dollars at risk. Confirm the trade or cancel; either is fine for the lesson.
Lesson 4 — Building a watchlist
5 minutesOpen the instrument browser and pin four instruments to your watchlist — one from each category that interests you (e.g. EUR/USD, BTC/USD, gold, Tesla). The watchlist persists across sessions and syncs to mobile. Add price alerts: tap on an instrument, set a target level, the platform notifies you when price reaches it without you watching the chart.
Lesson 5 — Chart basics with one indicator
10 minutesOn any chart, switch the timeframe (1-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, daily). Add a single indicator — moving average is the simplest first choice (try 50-period on the daily). Don't add ten indicators; the chart isn't a forecasting tool, it's a price-history visualisation. Goal of this lesson: comfort switching timeframes and adding/removing indicators, not predicting where price goes next.
Lesson 6 — Closing a position
15 minutesOpen a small demo position. Wait a minute, then close it three different ways across three trades: (1) manually from the open-positions panel — single click, position closed at current price; (2) by hitting take-profit — set TP a couple of pips above entry, wait for it to trigger; (3) by hitting stop-loss — set SL a couple of pips below entry, wait. After all three you'll have experienced every way a trade exits.
Beyond these lessons
Additional learning resources
Once the six lessons feel routine, four resource types fill in the depth. Each one suits a different mode of learning — visual, written, structured, exploratory.
- In-platform Learn section
- The Libertex platform has a built-in Learn area linking to articles and short walkthroughs covering specific platform features (order types, MetaTrader specifics, fee schedules). Surface-level, but always current with the live platform.
- Video library
- Short videos (3–10 minutes) on indicator setups, instrument introductions, market-event explainers. Useful for visual-first learners. Older videos may show slightly different UI — concepts hold even when the layout has shifted.
- Topic pages on this site
- The multiplier guide (Multiplier), the stop-loss guide (Stop-loss), and the How to trade and Demo pages go deeper than these mini-tutorials on specific mechanics. Read them after Lesson 3 — once you've felt the ticket fields, the explanation makes more sense.
- Demo trading itself
- The single most useful 'tutorial' is twenty self-directed trades on the demo with stop-loss set every time and a one-sentence reason recorded per trade. Patterns emerge from doing, not from reading about doing.
If a paid course promises profitable strategies, it's marketing, not a tutorial. Real tutorials teach mechanics — what the order ticket does, how to set a stop, how to read a chart. They don't predict prices, because no one can.

Six tutorial lessons land best when paired with hands-on practice. Open the demo, run through the order ticket, set a stop-loss, watch the position move. Twenty demo trades beat twenty hours of further reading.
