XLT - Forex Trading Curriculum
The XLT - Forex Trading course blends two types of sessions in a very structured environment. Lesson sessions
make up approximately 40% of the course curriculum. Each lesson focuses on teaching a specific concept that continues your trading education.
Trading and Analysis sessions make up the remaining 60% of the course curriculum and apply the knowledge you have gained in
live market conditions. Trading and Analysis sessions are conducted during active market hours with the purpose of identifying real
trading opportunities using a very objective rule-based strategy.
Forty-two sessions are delivered over a 12-week period, with each session lasting approximately 2 hours in length. Lesson sessions repeat every
12-weeks, providing solid learning reinforcement. Each Trading and Analysis session is unique as the instructor and students, together, proactively and
dynamically respond to live-market conditions.
