Lessons
A structured library of trading education, from first principles to market structure, liquidity, risk and psychology.
- Break of Structure (BOS)How to tell when a trend has really continued, and why the close matters more than the wick.
- Change of Character (CHoCH)The first sign that a trend may be ending, and why it is a warning rather than a signal.
- Liquidity Grab vs Liquidity SweepWhy price runs obvious highs and lows, and how to read what happens after it does.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)A three-candle imbalance that price often revisits, and the conditions that make it worth watching.
- Support and ResistanceLevels are zones, not lines. How to draw them so they help instead of clutter the chart.
- EMA 20, 50 and 200What each moving average describes, and how to use them as context rather than triggers.
- Position SizingDecide the money you risk first, then let the stop distance decide the lot size.
- Lot Size, Leverage and MarginThree words beginners mix up. Leverage changes the margin you post, not the risk of the trade.
