Your Learning Path

We've structured our program around how people actually learn to trade—not how textbooks say they should. Each phase builds on what you've already absorbed, so nothing feels rushed or confusing.

Weeks 1-3: Market Foundations

Start with what stocks actually represent and how markets function day-to-day. You'll learn to read basic charts and understand why prices move. We use Taiwan Stock Exchange examples because they're relevant, but principles apply anywhere.

Weeks 4-6: Technical Analysis Basics

Get comfortable with candlestick patterns, support and resistance levels, and volume indicators. This isn't about predicting the future—it's about recognizing patterns that might suggest what could happen next.

Weeks 7-9: Fundamental Research

Learn how to read financial statements and understand what they reveal about company health. We'll walk through real balance sheets and income statements from publicly traded companies so you can spot red flags.

Weeks 10-12: Strategy Development

Build your own trading approach based on risk tolerance and time availability. Some students prefer swing trading, others like position trading. You'll test different methods using historical data before touching real money.

Weeks 13-16: Paper Trading Practice

Apply everything through simulated trading with real market conditions. Track your decisions, analyze what worked and what didn't, and refine your strategy. Most students find this phase revealing—theory meets reality here.

What You'll Actually Learn

  • Market Mechanics Deep Dive How orders execute, bid-ask spreads, market makers, and liquidity. Understanding these mechanics helps you avoid common beginner mistakes that cost money.
  • Chart Reading Without Guesswork Interpret price action, volume patterns, and trend indicators. We focus on what actually works rather than overcomplicated indicator combinations that confuse more than clarify.
  • Financial Statement Analysis Break down balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports. Learn which numbers matter most and which ones companies sometimes manipulate to look better.
  • Risk Management Essentials Position sizing, stop-loss placement, and portfolio diversification. This might be the most important module—protecting capital matters more than chasing gains.
  • Psychology and Decision Making Recognize emotional biases that sabotage trading decisions. Fear and greed drive markets, and understanding your own reactions helps you stay objective when prices swing.

Learn From Active Traders

Our instructors trade their own accounts and understand current market conditions. They've all made mistakes and learned from them—which makes their guidance practical rather than theoretical.
