Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about learning with Mercatus Academy, what you need to begin, how payments work and what to expect from funded-account challenges.
Do I need previous trading experience?
No. Our complete beginner course starts at the very beginning and explains each stage in plain language. We also provide separate one-to-one tuition for learners who already have some knowledge and for existing traders who want to strengthen their process.
Is tuition online or face-to-face?
Tuition is delivered mainly online. Face-to-face availability depends on where you live and must be discussed and arranged directly with Mercatus Academy.
How does one-to-one tuition work?
Your educator shares their full trading screen during a live one-to-one session. Learning is delivered step by step, allowing you to see the charts, platform and lesson material clearly while asking questions throughout.
What equipment do I need?
We recommend using a laptop or desktop computer. The larger screen makes charts, trading platforms and shared lesson material easier to view and can significantly improve the learning experience. A stable internet connection is also recommended for online tuition.
How quickly can I begin?
You can begin when you are ready, subject to educator availability. After payment, we will contact you and mutually arrange a suitable start date.
Do you guarantee trading profits?
No. Mercatus Academy provides education only. We cannot guarantee profits, trading performance, successful completion of a funded-account challenge or any investment result. Foreign exchange trading involves substantial risk.
What is a challenge funded account?
A challenge funded account is a Mercatus Academy funded-account route in which you must complete two evaluation phases. You are required to reach the stated profit objectives while following all applicable trading and risk rules designed to encourage disciplined, risk-aware trading. Eligibility, account access and all programme terms apply.
What happens after payment?
Mercatus Academy is notified of your selected course choice. We then contact you to confirm the course and mutually arrange a suitable start date. Please ensure the contact information supplied during your enquiry is correct.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Your course payment is fully refundable if no tuition has started. If you ask us to begin and later cancel after tuition has started, we calculate the value of completed sessions and refund the unused balance, subject to your statutory rights and the full Cancellation & Refund Policy.
