This page sets out a study sequence for beginners who want to understand what to learn and record before considering a trade. It is not a TFEX course or a formula for making profits. The linked video offers context about practising and learning from experience; it does not substantiate this particular sequence or guarantee a learner’s results.
A repeatable learning sequence
- Make a contract fact sheet. Choose one product and record its underlying, multiplier, tick size, expiry, settlement method, and the source used for each detail. Do not combine the rules of different contracts.
- Practise risk calculations. Work through several possible price moves, include fees, and consider moves against a position. Write down when you would stop the exercise or return to the product specifications for clarification.
- Practise observing without placing real orders. Write the conditions you would need to see before making a decision, and record examples that do not meet them. Historical tests and simulations have limitations and do not reproduce live trading results.
- Record every example. Note the date, contract, observed conditions, where an assumption proved wrong, costs, and whether you followed your stated rules. Include cases that did not match your expectations.
- Review before taking more risk. Check whether the available records explain the outcome, including losses, costs, and rule-following errors. If you cannot explain what happened, continue learning before increasing exposure.
Use primary learning materials
Start with TFEX material describing a contract, such as its introduction to SET50 Index Futures. Then review TFEX’s beginner risk-management guidance and consult the current specification for the exact product whenever a number or condition matters.
When to pause
Do not increase exposure if you cannot clearly explain the multiplier, margin, possible loss, or how a position could be closed. Following this study sequence does not make a result certain. A simulation cannot fully represent liquidity, order matching, or the emotions involved in trading with real money.
