Our mission
Democratize forex trading education by building the most comprehensive, well researched, and beautifully designed learning platform. Completely free for the fundamentals. Every topic is backed by deep research from reputable financial publications, academic sources, and industry practitioners. Content is verified, sourced, and referenced.
What makes FX Foundations different
Free forever (Sections 1 to 5)
The first five sections cover forex fundamentals, economic concepts, core terminology, risk management, and trading psychology. All completely free. No trials, no paywalls on the basics.
Research backed with citations
Every lesson cites primary sources: central bank publications, academic papers, and reputable financial media. We cross verify claims against multiple independent sources.
Full trading simulator
Practice trading with zero risk in our built in simulator. Realistic price generation, one click trading, keyboard shortcuts, trendline drawing tools, technical indicators, and performance tracking. All without depositing a cent.
Interactive charts and visualizations
21 custom educational visualization components embedded across 46 lessons. Candlestick charts with scenario based data, annotated patterns, and interactive controls bring concepts to life.
Editorial design quality
We draw from the typographic precision of the Financial Times and the editorial layouts of The Economist. Not the typical dark terminal trader aesthetic.
Bilingual: English + Mongolian
Every lesson, UI element, and piece of content is available in both English and Mongolian. Full i18n support across all 163 lessons and the entire platform interface.
Achievements, XP, and levels
Earn XP as you complete lessons and quizzes. Unlock achievements, level up your trader profile, and track your progress with a gamification system built to keep you motivated.
No upsells or pressure tactics
No countdown timers on free content. No "secret strategies" locked behind a paywall. Pro exists for those who want audio lessons and progress tracking. The education stands on its own.

Who built this
FX Foundations is built by Obi Batbileg, a developer and designer based in Sydney, Australia.
I got into trading and investing because I needed to. Managing personal finances and figuring out how to fund a business forced me to actually understand how markets work. Not surface level YouTube content, but real theory. Economics. Market structure. Risk. The stuff that actually matters when real money is on the line.
The more I learned, the more I realised how broken forex education is. Most "courses" are thinly veiled broker promotions selling you a trading strategy or signal service. That is not education. I did not build FX Foundations to teach you how to trade or tell you what approach to take. I built it to give you the actual knowledge: economic theory, financial concepts, market mechanics, and risk management. The real foundation you need before you ever place a trade.
Every lesson is backed by extensive research from central bank publications, academic papers, and reputable financial media. The curriculum is carefully curated and crafted to make complex concepts easy to understand, whether you are completely new to finance or brushing up on fundamentals. What started as personal research notes has grown into 163+ lessons across 18 sections, a full trading simulator, 6 calculators, interactive visualizations, audio narration, and bilingual support. All shipped in under four months.
This is an indie project, not a company. There is no venture capital, no growth team, no marketing department. Just one person who needed to learn this stuff for real, and decided to build the resource he wished existed.
