In order to make the most money out of your trading experience, you must first have a solid understanding of the basic principles involved. This course delves deeply into these critical matters, such as finding highly tradable stocks, defining support and resistance levels, determining proper entry and exit points, and interpreting and shadowing the moves of market makers.

You’ll benefit by participating in live trading sessions in which you’ll deal with a variety of trading situations, and practice using the direct access execution system. These real-life experiences are crucial to your development as a market player.
