TradersUnited continues to empower retail traders with free, high-quality, and beginner-friendly education resources, webinars, and tools, stating that these resources will help them become more informed and safer in the market.
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA—The world’s first social media for traders, TradersUnited, stays true to its promise of building an informed trading community with TradeGeek, accessible on its website and community platform, CommuniTrade. This trading education platform covers forex courses and live weekly market recaps through webinars.
With the rising demand for online trading and passive income methods, trading services such as online brokers, signal sellers, and trading education providers are entering the scene to capitalize on the growing trend. The organization addressed the need for retail traders for credible and reliable educational resources.
“Every trader needs trading information to trade and, hopefully, profit from the market,” said Kganya Souza, Research and Development Head of TradersUnited. “But with so many to learn and understand in the market, the overwhelming and saturated online information won’t help them.”
TradersUnited developed TradeGeek to streamline the learning experience of retail traders worldwide. From finding suitable courses for their trading level to discerning credible insights, traders bypass the unnecessary learning process that further lengthens the curve.
“Our TradeGeek program is aimed at empowering traders, not instilling confusion or trying to sell them a product.”
TradeGeek has recently completed its forex course. According to Souza, courses on cryptocurrency, stocks, indices, and commodities are scheduled for release this year.
Saturated Online Knowledge Disconnects Traders from Learning
There’s no such thing as a lack of online information. In fact, online users constantly visit Google to seek answer to their queries or questions. Statista revealed that Google had approximately 85.5 billion visits in 2024.
Internet Live Stats reported that Google processes over 8 billion searches daily. There’s so much information online that it often overwhelms us.
However, with so much to learn and understand in online trading, dealing with information overload and discerning credible information is something retail traders often struggle with.
Souza stated that the “the influx of free education confuses traders, which ultimately disconnecting them from actually learning.”
While the organization acknowledged the value of free trading education, it firmly drew a line between genuine and deceptive resources.
TradersUnited responds to the actual needs of traders—providing insights and education to inform them, rather than selling a product or service.
TradeGeek: The Genuine Way of Learning
Online traders often resort to the internet to source information for their decision-making. However, the fragmented online knowledge cultivates the culture of malinformation: the provision of true but misleading information to lure consumers into acting a particular way.
“By providing free access to quality and up-to-date educational resources, TradeGeek helps online traders break free from the deceptive and harmful cycle of malinformation,” Souza answered when asked about the TradeGeek value.
Reflecting TRU’s commitment to learning, TradeGeek follows a systematic format to ensure that traders of all levels find value in this trading education program.
The TradeGeek Format
The TradeGeek program is divided into three stages: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert courses. This format ensures that traders can easily personalize their learning experience by segregating the topics they need to learn according to their level.
Inside each course, there are modules and their respective lessons. All lessons underwent intricate proofreading, editing, and vetting mechanisms to ensure the quality and value of the content.
Beginner Courses
For traders in their early learning phase, TradeGeek’s beginner courses are designed to provide users with a solid foundation before moving on to more complex topics.
These are tailored for aspiring traders or traders who would like to review the basics, covering the “what, when, why, and how” of trading.
This course provides an efficient discussion of market and economic fundamentals, major currencies, and the basic operations of brokers and trading platforms.
The Forex Beginner Curriculum has four courses: Forex Trading 101, Risk of Forex Trading, The Forex Market, and Forex Brokers and Platforms. Each course typically takes 20 minutes to complete.
Intermediate Courses
The intermediate lessons are tailored for traders who have completed the beginner courses or for those who are confident in learning more technical topics, such as Forex Charting, Forex Trading Strategies, Risk Management Techniques, and intermarket trading.
The four courses offer strategies and advice for novice to mid-level traders. They discuss a variety of practical trading tips, such as how to use a trading journal and create a trading plan, as well as more complex economic topics, including the relationship between oil and the US dollar and the Dollar Smile Theory.
Expert Courses
Expert courses are designed for traders who want to improve their analysis and critical trading skills. With topics covering Market Analysis, Fundamental Analysis, and Technical Analysis, these expert courses provide in-depth discussions on how to trade with a broader outlook.
All these courses are available on the TradersUnited website for free.
