Trading Foundations
The basics a new trader needs before the first setup.
Eleven short lessons: what trading is, the markets you can trade, buying and selling, your broker and a demo account, TradingView step by step, order types, leverage, lots and pips, the maths you need, the 30 words every trader uses, and how to practise without money. Each lesson is about seven minutes and ends with one small task and a short quiz.
What you will be able to do
- Set up a daily and a weekly chart in TradingView, with the 20-EMA and volume.
- Read any bar: its open, high, low and close, and which side won.
- Tell an uptrend, a downtrend and a range apart.
- Explain long and short, bid, ask and spread, and what a trade costs.
- Pick the right order: market, limit or stop, with the stop-loss and target attached.
- Do the risk sums: a % of the account, reward to risk, expectancy and a position size.
- Say what leverage does to a loss, with a number.
- Use the 30 words every trader uses.
- Place one paper trade on a demo account and write one journal line.
