About
What Trading Papers is.
A library of short, illustrated papers that each teach one thing about trading — with courses, a placement test and a coach for MetaTrader built on it.
A library of short papers
Trading Papers is a library of more than five hundred papers about trading. Each one teaches a single thing: what a pip is, how leverage works, what the London session is. You finish a paper able to do something you could not do before — read that candle, work out that position size, find that session on your own chart. You read a paper on the site or download it as a PDF.
What a paper looks like
Six to twelve pages, most of them eight. Plain words, with every term explained the first time it appears. A picture beside every paragraph: charts drawn from real recorded prices, each named by its instrument, timeframe and date so you can find the same bars on your own platform, and drawings made for that one paper.
Where to start
When you open an account you take a placement test: fifteen questions, about four minutes. Five check what you already know about charts; ten ask how you like to trade. From your answers the site builds your learning path — six steps through the library, in an order that fits you.
Courses and certificates
The papers are also arranged into 21 courses on three levels — Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, seven each. A course is a short road of papers, with a quiz after every paper and a final exam at the end. Pass the exam and you receive a certificate with its own code, which anyone you show it to can check on our verify page. Finish the courses a level asks for and you also earn a level certificate: Certified Beginner, Certified Intermediate, then Certified Trader.
The MT5 Coach
A program for MetaTrader 5 that brings the academy onto your own chart: practice on real bars, a journal of your own trades, key price levels, tools and your progress. It never opens, changes or closes a trade.
What it is not
No signals, no trade calls, no forecasts, and nobody managing money. A paper explains what something is and how it works; it never tells you where to buy or sell. Nothing here is financial advice, and trading can lose you money.
How it is paid for
Readers pay for Premium, which opens everything, or buy a single paper, a course or the Coach. Brokers pay us to give the same academy to their own clients under their own brand — that is Trading Papers for Business. Some of those brokers are partners: open an account with one and you get the academy free through them, and the links to them are their referral links. No one pays us to write a paper or to say anything in one.
Languages
The papers are written in English. The site itself reads in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Turkish and Arabic, and papers in those languages are planned.
Who reviews the papers
A paper that says “Reviewed by Saman Rahbar” on its page has been read and checked by Saman before it carries that line, and the date beside it is the day of the review.
Saman has six years in the financial markets: on the broker side and the prop-firm side — client support, technical review, trader education and the building of academies and automation — and as a trader, with technical and fundamental analysis.
A review looks for what a trader would catch: a wrong number, a term used loosely, a chart that does not show what the text says. An error found is corrected before the paper is marked. Not every paper has been reviewed yet; the line appears only on those that have.
