Day Trading For Beginners
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Day trading is a term that means buying and selling a security within the same day. It is not gambling, it is also not complicated, and there are no secrets to get rich quick. Day trading is simply buying and selling a stock in the same day.
What you are going to learn in this course is how to understand what direction a security is trading in and how to take advantage of the change in price.
We are going to keep things extremely simple and we are going to start with the basics and slowly add more layers of knowledge to our foundation until we feel comfortable making our own trades.
Throughout this course you will learn how to execute trades, manage a bankroll, and create a long term trading strategy that you can tweak and improve to meet your personal investing style. You are not going to get rich over night, this is going to take time and it is going to be a slow learning process but by the end of the course you will have a new skill that can scale much faster than any other occupation.
The goal of this course is to provide a structured strategy that you can learn and build upon.
