At Forex Academy Uganda, Thursdays focus on the one skill every trader must master to stay in the game: Risk Management. It’s not enough to know how to enter a trade—you must know how to protect your money, control your losses, and grow sustainably. This is the day we train traders to think like professionals by focusing on preservation before profits.

Through relatable examples and real-trade breakdowns, we teach students how to manage lot sizes, calculate position sizes, set effective stop losses, and build accounts with discipline. Many traders lose not because they don’t know how to trade—but because they don’t know how to manage risk. Thursdays fix that.
