Course description
Chapter 1 is your on-ramp into forex and crypto trading. Instead of jumping straight into advanced strategies, you’ll focus on core skills: how to set up TradingView, read candlesticks, understand basic trends and momentum, and avoid common beginner mistakes.
Step by step, you’ll learn how to use five core tools—candlesticks, Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, and Volume—to read what the market is doing and practice safely in a paper trading account. The goal is not “sure wins” but building skills, discipline, and a process you can keep improving over time.
