About the name
Thanot is a pen name. I write under it rather than my legal name for the ordinary reason that I'd rather my trading writing and my day job stay separate — but the byline is not a shell. One person writes every lesson on this site, draws every diagram, and writes every line of MQL4 and MQL5 you can download here. There is no content team, no ghostwriter, and no syndicated feed behind it. If you email contact@learnforexhub.com, I'm the one who answers.
What I actually do
I trade retail forex on MetaTrader, mostly the major pairs and gold, and I write the tooling I use. That combination is the whole basis of this site: every indicator lesson here exists because I had to implement the indicator from its formula to use it, and writing the implementation is what forces you to understand what a formula really does to the data — which bar it reads, what happens on the first bars where the look-back window isn't full, where it repaints, and where the textbook description quietly disagrees with the platform's built-in version.
That's why the 148 files on this site are shipped as .mq4/.mq5 source rather than compiled .ex4/.ex5 binaries. You can read exactly what each one does before it ever touches a chart, and check it against the description in the lesson. A compiled file you can't inspect is a request to trust me; source code is something you can verify.
What I'm not
I am not a licensed financial adviser, a fund manager, or an institutional trader, and I don't claim a professional qualification I don't hold. I don't sell signals, courses, mentorships, or managed accounts, and I don't publish account screenshots or performance claims — my results are not evidence of what yours would be, so presenting them as if they were would be misleading.
What I can offer is a specific, narrow kind of expertise: I can explain what a technical indicator computes, what its known failure modes are, and how to read the code that implements it. Everything on this site stays inside that boundary. For anything that depends on your own finances, tax position, or risk capacity, talk to someone licensed in your jurisdiction.
How I handle being wrong
Technical analysis writing is full of confidently stated claims that don't survive contact with data, and I'd rather be corrected than repeat one. Every lesson carries a "A Word of Caution" section describing where that specific tool fails, because a tool's blind spots are more useful to a trader than its best-case example. If you find an error in a lesson or a bug in a downloadable file, tell me— corrections get made and the lesson's "last updated" date changes with them. The editorial policy sets out how lessons are researched, reviewed, and corrected in more detail.
Where to start
If you're new, the basics track (35 lessons) covers pairs, pips, lot sizing, leverage, and risk before touching a single indicator — deliberately, because position sizing decides more outcomes than indicator choice does. From there, indicators (39) and Expert Advisors (35) each pair an explanation with a file you can read and run.
