Description

A free stock market course from beginner to pro: how shares and exchanges work, how to buy US stocks, and how to read companies, charts and valuations. You then learn position sizing, margin, backtesting and portfolio rules, and finish by building and testing your own written trading or investing plan.

The course runs in 6 sections, beginner to pro: Stock Market Foundations (beginner, 29 min), Funds, Dividends and Global Stocks (beginner, 17 min), Reading a Company: Fundamental Analysis (intermediate, 21 min), Charts, Indicators and Strategies (intermediate, 29 min), Risk, Leverage and Testing (advanced, 29 min) and Pro (pro, 22 min). Every lesson ends with key takeaways and a short quiz, and the last one is a capstone where you write and test your own plan.

Who this course is for

Complete beginners who want to understand the stock market before investing real money
Investors in Pakistan and other countries who want to access US-listed stocks and ETFs
Traders who want rules for position sizing, stops and backtesting instead of tips
Long-term investors deciding between index funds and picking their own stocks
Crypto or forex traders who want to add stocks to what they already know
