Know What To Learn
A structured, beginner-friendly academy that tells you exactly what to learn and when. Build your trading skills on a solid roadmap, at your own pace.
Start LearningWhat you’ll learn
Foundations
How markets actually work, who's on the other side of your trade, and what a "position" even is.
Trading Mechanics
Order types, fills, slippage, fees, margin. The plumbing no broker explains because they assume you know.
Risk & Position Sizing
The math that decides whether you survive long enough for your edge to matter. Includes the spreadsheet.
Technical Analysis Basics
Trends, support and resistance, what indicators actually measure — and the ones that don't tell you anything.
Why it’s different
One syllabus. The right order.
Each course builds on the last. No gaps, no repetition — a clean path from zero to competent, sequenced the way a curriculum should be.
What actually happens in markets
Fills, slippage, margin, order types, and the mechanics no broker explains. The gap between knowing and doing, covered directly.
Taught by practitioners
Our faculty hold CMT and CFA designations and have traded real capital. They have made the mistakes so you do not have to.
