ADVANCED AND PRACTICE

Advanced study and practice: build your trading process

Knowing candlesticks and indicators does not always tell you what to examine first, how to choose between conflicting evidence or when a judgment is wrong. This course helps you establish an analysis sequence, write down risk limits and keep records you can review.

Course materials and Lab access

Make a one-time advanced-material purchase with course Lab access. Sign in to see the current price and purchase conditions. Once payment is confirmed, use the same account for the Lab and download the eight Chinese student PDFs from its first learning unit.

The advanced-material purchase includes course Lab access, including eligible existing purchases. Course practice is provided alongside the eight Chinese student PDF chapters. It covers MACD, RSI, ATR, costs and position size, Bollinger Bands and K/D/J comparisons, SMA and EMA comparisons, and staged observation and revision. Sign in with your original account; earlier practice records are retained. Download all eight chapters from the first learning unit.

The Donchian comparison checks two windows on the same closed target bar: the prior 20 bars and the 20 bars including that target. Record the upper, middle and lower bounds and the closing-price relationships without inferring direction.

Feedback checks only observable risk constraints and arithmetic under the stated task assumptions; qualitative judgments are ungraded. These formative exercises do not establish course completion or competency certification.

Who this route is for

The course is for learners who have encountered candlesticks, trends, structure or indicators but still lack a consistent analysis sequence, risk rules and review method.

Be ready to write down your judgments, compare products and costs before discussing opportunities, and examine groups of comparable examples rather than drawing conclusions from one or two trades. Choosing not to trade when conditions are unsuitable is a complete decision.

What this course does not provide

It does not provide daily buy or sell directions, entry or stop prices, copy-trading instructions or universal settings that remove the need to practise and keep records. It does not guarantee a win rate, recovery of losses or steady returns, and it cannot take responsibility for your trading decisions or account.

Eight learning modules

Start with what you are trading and finish with a personal process you can revise. Each module connects evidence, invalidation, a risk ceiling and a review record. The outcomes below describe the work learners build through the course.

Module 1 · Gold products and execution mechanics

First establish what you are trading and where its price, costs and risks come from.

Public overview: distinguish markets, products, instruments, contracts, quotes, liquidity, trading hours and the main costs.

Learning outcome: a product checklist with answers you can locate in the platform’s contract specifications.

Module 2 · Daily fundamental and technical analysis

Review information in a consistent order instead of letting one news item or candlestick dictate the day.

Public overview: review the previous trading day, prepare for the current one, separate background from triggers and describe alternative scenarios.

Learning outcome: a daily analysis summary covering the environment, evidence, counter-evidence and conditions for staying out.

Module 3 · Technical patterns and the indicator toolbox

Give each tool a clear question to answer before combining it with other tools.

Public overview: the roles of structure, location, candlesticks, patterns, trend, momentum, volatility and activity.

Learning outcome: a tool responsibility map showing which tools complement one another and which repeat the same information.

Module 4 · Choose indicators you can use consistently

Use replay and counterexamples to keep tools you understand, instead of searching for a single best indicator.

Public overview: select indicators by purpose, fix their rules, record failure examples and remove settings that do not help.

Learning outcome: a personal tool list documenting each tool’s purpose, conditions, limitations and reasons to stop using it.

Module 5 · Describe what today’s market is doing

Turn a collection of observations into a statement that later price action can test.

Public overview: organise market state, phase, location, possible paths and invalidation conditions instead of writing only “bullish” or “bearish”.

Learning outcome: a reviewable market explanation with scenario A, scenario B and a no-trade scenario.

Module 6 · Trading techniques and their trade-offs

Consider which environment a method suits and how it is most likely to fail.

Public overview: the purposes, costs and major risks of trend, breakout, range, grid and martingale approaches; distinguish trading methods from position and risk methods.

Learning outcome: a method comparison table that keeps approaches with different functions separate.

Module 7 · Risk and potential profit for each trade

Define the loss you are prepared to accept before working out position size and exits.

Public overview: 1R, logical invalidation, stop distance, position size, potential reward and risk, costs, slippage and combined exposure.

Learning outcome: a pre-trade risk checklist and a position-size calculation that can be checked.

Module 8 · Organise your own trading process

Keep rules, journals and reviews in one personal handbook that you continue to update.

Public overview: write personal rules, record actual execution, classify examples and change only one variable in each review cycle.

Learning outcome: a first draft of your trading process handbook and a plan for the next round of sample validation.

How the foundation course fits

The foundation course establishes a shared vocabulary; the advanced course uses it to make decisions. Revisit the relevant foundation chapter or knowledge-base entry when a concept is unfamiliar.
