Free Trading and Investment Course

By Dave McLachlan

There are many articles on this site about trading and investing.  Here I have collected the best and most important ones and put them in order for those wanting to learn how to trade and invest.  I start at the very beginning, and go through to more advanced techniques and theories.  If you follow them through from beginning to end, you will have an excellent advantage in the markets.  And if you take them and practice with them, you can become a master (as simple as they may seem).  So, let’s get started!

Module One

When first starting out in the market it is important to know:

1:   The Benefits of Compounding – How To Become A Millionaire

2:   Plan Your Trade, and Trade Your Plan-  your “roadmap” to trading success, and what to put in it

3:   The Bar Chart and Why We Use It

4:   Identifying Peaks and Troughs, the cornerstone of trading techniques

5:   The benefits of different timeframes, with Larger Timeframe, Stronger Signal

  

Module Two

Once you have a handle on the basics, it’s time to learn how to enter and exit the market: 

6:   Trading with Dow Theory, a 120 year old technique and great for weekly charts

7:   Trading with Trend Lines - great for daily and weekly charts

8:  Trading with Continuation Patterns - fantastic on daily charts

9:  Trading on Confirmation, Not Speculation to help you trade in harmony with the larger trend of your stock

10:  Going With The Flow Of The Overall Market will help you trade in harmony with the overall market

  

Module Three

Once you have learned how to enter and exit it’s important to learn some solid money management rules so you don’t blow out your account:

11:   Your Stop Loss is super important, as it is the only thing you can truly control in the market

12:  Make more and lose less in your trading with Fixed Fractional Position Sizing

13:  “Average By Name” will help you avoid some pitfalls of modern financial planning

 

Module Four

By now you will have a solid technique for trading and investing.  Once you have these basics down pat, you will be ready for some more advanced applications, starting with predictions:

14:  Learn how to make basic predictions with Natural Support and Resistance

15:  Then apply that knowledge to more advanced predictions, using Price Projections

16:  And taking it a step further – Predictions Using Trend Line Support And Resistance

17:  Combining dynamic money management depending on the Life Span of Your Trend

 

 Module Five

And then some more advanced skills that utilise everything you’ve learned so far:

18:  How To Trade Short, or make money when the market is falling

19:  Using the Benefits of CFDs to help us trade short and take more positions

20:  And now that we are more advanced, we must learn the true Art of the Risk Free Trade

21:  Learning the Art of Pyramiding is our next important trade management technique

 Module Six

So, if you’ve made it this far – congratulations!  You will have a very solid knowledge of how to trade profitably.  In fact, in using the Risk Free Trade and trading in the direction of the overall market it doesn’t even matter what entry or exit techniques you use – it is automatically geared towards losing less and making more.  That is why most market masters will tell you to focus on money and trade management, not entries and exits (I prefer to focus on the whole package, but we’re all different).

By now you will have a good idea of your strategy in the market.  But before we have Trading and Investing Success, we must test our strategy to see how well it works!

22:  Learn How to Back-test your strategy, and the secrets it can yield

23:  Learn How to Get your Probability - how successful your strategy will be

24:  And finally – know when to quit your day job by finding your expectancy, and using it to gauge how much you might make in a year.

Module Seven 

And lastly – the hardest techniques of all.  If you have learned all the techniques so far you may not need these ones, but some people like to have all the information they can (I’m one of them!).  These advanced techniques will show you ways to enter and buy larger amounts of stock for the same risk, which can lead to larger gains.

25:  Trading With ABC Corrections and The Low Risk Entry – really puts all your techniques together plus some

26:  Trading With Doji Patterns (or Bull And Bear Traps) gives you signals to enter up and down.

So there you are.  If you’ve made it to the end of the course, I really have to congratulate you.  Not only does it show that you want more out of life (which is a positive trait in itself) it shows that you are willing to work hard to get it (and it is said “The harder we work, the luckier we get”).  I truly hope this page has helped you in some small way towards achieving your goals.  As always I am here to serve, so if you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me a line here, (I won’t publish it if you don’t want me to) I will do my best to answer them (plus the only silly question is the one that goes unasked).

Again, congratulations!  And all the best,

Dave McLachlan
