About us

Making markets make sense since 2014

We’ve built technology for one of the biggest US asset exchanges and created a leading physics learning platform, so we know both how markets run and how people learn complex subjects.

Our story

  • 2014Forex Hero launches as a forex course in your pocket.
  • 2020Lessons expand beyond forex to stocks, indices, commodities and the economics behind them.
  • 2025A trading simulator joins the app, so you can practice with game money.
  • 20263.5+ million students, now learning on iPhone, Android and the web.

When we started learning about markets, everything was either too complicated, too boring or too good to be true. So we built something clear and honest that’s actually fun to learn from.

What we believe

Education, not advice

We teach how markets work. We never tell you what to buy or sell, and we don’t sell signals or manage money.

Honest about failure

We show pro traders’ losing streaks and the limits of technical analysis, not just the highlight reel.

Practice before risk

Make your first mistakes in trading games with game money, where they cost nothing.

No fluff

Dozens of books, condensed into lessons you can finish on a coffee break.
