FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to attend the free seminar first?
Yes. Advanced Training is designed to build on the foundations covered in our free seminar. If you have not attended a Big Shark Forex seminar before, please register for the next free one. If you have equivalent foundational knowledge from elsewhere and can demonstrate it, we will consider direct enrollment.
How much capital do I need to start trading during the programme?
You can complete the entire eight-week curriculum on a Deriv demo account with zero real capital deployed. We recommend going live only once your demo trading shows consistent profitability over at least four weeks, which typically falls toward the end of the programme. When you do go live, USD 100 to 500 is a reasonable starting point.
What if I miss a live session?
All sessions are recorded and made available within 24 hours. We strongly recommend attending live for the Q&A and interaction where possible, but the recordings remain yours indefinitely.
Are there payment plans?
Yes, for all three tiers. The standard structure is a 50% deposit to secure your seat, with the balance payable over one to three months. Specific terms depend on tier and circumstances; please contact us for details.
Is there a refund policy?
Full refund within the first seven days if you decide the programme is not for you. After day seven we do not offer refunds, but we are happy to defer your enrollment to a future cohort if you have a genuine reason for stepping away (illness, family emergency, or a change in work circumstances).
Do I get a certificate?
No. Certificates from non-accredited education providers are largely decorative and add little to your trading or your CV. What you take away instead is genuine skill, a working trade journal, and a continuing referral relationship with our team. All of which carry more weight.
