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've never 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'll consider direct enrollment.
How much capital do I need to start trading during the programme?
You can complete the entire 8-week curriculum on a Deriv demo account with zero real capital deployed. We recommend going live only when your demo trading shows consistent profitability over at least 4 weeks — typically toward the end of the programme. When you do go live, USD 100–500 is a reasonable starting point.
What if I miss a live session?
All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. We strongly recommend attending live for the Q&A and interaction, but life happens. The recordings stay yours forever.
Are there payment plans?
Yes — for all three tiers. Typically a 50% deposit to secure your spot, then the balance over 1–3 months. Specific terms depend on tier and circumstances; contact us for details.
Is there a refund policy?
Full refund within the first 7 days if you decide the programme isn't for you. After day 7, no refunds — but we'll happily defer your enrollment to a future cohort if you have a genuine reason you can't continue (illness, family emergency, work change).
Do I get a certificate?
No. Certificates from non-accredited education providers are mostly decorative and we don't think they help your trading or your CV. What you get is real skill, a real trade journal, and a real referral relationship with our team — all of which are more valuable.
