The lessons, in order

A path is the academy's answer to "where do I start". The order is deliberate: each lesson assumes the ones above it, which is why reading them this way works better than picking at a category list. In the app the path tracks how far through you are and what comes next.

  1. Moving Averages: SMA Vs EMA Both lines smooth price. Only one of them reacts to a close you can no longer see on the chart. Beginner5 min
  2. Understanding RSI A reading of 75 means the up-moves over the last 14 bars added up to three times the down-moves. That is the whole claim. Beginner4 min
  3. MACD: Trend And Momentum Together A falling MACD line does not mean price is falling. It means two moving averages are getting closer together. Beginner4 min
  4. Bollinger Bands And Volatility The distance between the bands is a volatility reading in pips. That number is more useful than any band touch. Intermediate4 min
  5. Stochastic Oscillator Basics A stochastic of 80 means the close finished 80 per cent of the way up the last 14 bars' range. Nothing more. Intermediate4 min
  6. Average True Range For Measuring Volatility ATR is a distance, not a direction. Its job is to tell you how wide a stop has to be to sit outside ordinary movement. Intermediate4 min
  7. Fibonacci Retracement Levels The levels are fixed the moment you choose two swing points. Choosing them is the part that is not objective. Beginner4 min
  8. Pivot Points For Intraday Levels Pivots are fixed at the open and never update. The span from S2 to R2 is exactly twice yesterday's range. Beginner4 min
  9. Divergence Between Price And Indicators Divergence tells you a move has lost force. It does not tell you when, or whether, price will respond to that. Intermediate4 min
  10. Combining Indicators Without Overload Adding a second tool from the same family buys agreement, not evidence. Only disagreement carries information. Beginner4 min

What it draws on

This path pulls from 1 category: trading indicators. Each of those pages lists its full set of lessons if you would rather go deep on one subject than move across several.
