Foundations

What decides whether you survive long enough for your analysis to matter

© 2026 ANALYSTO.PRO · For research only, not investment advice.
AboutProTerms of ServiceReport issue / ideaSupportAccessibility statementStatus

Most people who fail in the market don't fail on analysis. They fail on risk: position too big, no defined stop, no idea what their edge is worth. This track is the foundation — without it the other tracks are noise.

0 of 7 lessons

  1. 1Risk before rewardWhy every trade starts with how much you can lose, not how much you'll make. Risk management, stops and maximum loss, explained simply.
  2. 2Position sizingThe formula that decides how many shares to buy: the stop sets the size, not the other way round. With a full worked example.
  3. 3The R unitWhy trades are measured in risk units rather than money, and how that turns random outcomes into data you can improve.
  4. 4ExpectancyThe calculation that decides whether your method has an edge: win rate, average win and average loss.
  5. 5LiquidityWhy turnover, bid-ask spread and float decide whether a stock is tradable at all.
  6. 6Order typesThe difference between market, limit and stop orders — and what happens to each in an opening gap.
  7. 7The trading journalWhat to record after each trade, and how after fifty trades you can see exactly what works and what merely feels good.

Track 1

Day trading

Positions opened and closed the same day — volume, levels and timing

Day trading is the fastest and most demanding game in the market. It's almost purely technical, but the trigger is always news: a stock with no reason to move won't move, and the prettiest pattern on the chart fails without volume behind it.

0 of 8 lessons

  1. 1Relative volumeWhat relative volume is, why it beats every indicator, and how it filters out stocks with nothing to trade.
  2. 2VolatilityHow to measure how much a stock moves on an average day, and why that number sets your stop, your target and your size.
  3. 3Volume-weighted average priceThe line that splits the day between buyers and sellers, and why large institutions measure their execution against it.
  4. 4Key levelsWhich levels actually work intraday, how to mark them before the open, and why a stop always sits beyond a level.
  5. 5The morning routineWhat to do in the hour before the open, in what order, and why hunting for stocks after the bell is already too late.
  6. 6Finding stocks to day tradeThe exact filter that narrows thousands of stocks down to three: gap, volume, news, price and liquidity.
  7. 7Day-trading setupsThe four setups that carry most intraday trades, each with its trigger, stop and target.
  8. 8Managing the tradeWhat to do after the entry: partial exits, moving the stop, and what you must never do.

Track 2

Swing trading

Holding days to weeks — market regime, relative strength and base patterns

Swing is the style where all three lenses matter, in a fixed order: the market regime decides whether you trade at all, technicals decide when, fundamentals decide what, and crowd behaviour decides how much of the move is already priced in. It's also the style that fits people with a job — it doesn't demand a screen all day.

0 of 7 lessons

  1. 1Market regimeWhy the identical setup works in an uptrend and fails in a downtrend, and how to read the regime in two minutes.
  2. 2Relative strengthWhy what falls least in a decline rises most in the advance, and how to measure relative strength without an indicator.
  3. 3Base patternsWhat a good base looks like, why contracting volatility and drying volume are the key tell, and how to enter a pullback.
  4. 4Finding swing tradesThe exact screening conditions for swing trades, and why the scanner is always followed by eyes on the chart.
  5. 5The entry checklistThe nine questions to run before every entry, and why a single no kills the trade.
  6. 6Managing a swing positionWhat to do in the days and weeks after entry, and how to exit without ruining the gain.
  7. 7Earnings riskWhy earnings are the one event that can jump straight over your stop, and the three legitimate ways to handle it.

Track 3

Long-term investing

Buying a business, not a ticker — growth, margins, cash flow and valuation

In the short run price is set by sentiment. In the long run it's set by earnings and cash. This track teaches you to measure the second — what the business actually produces, whether it's growing, and whether the price you pay for it makes sense.

0 of 8 lessons

  1. 1Reading a financial reportThe three statements, what to look for in each, and why revenue growth alone tells you nothing.
  2. 2Profit marginsThe three margins, what each says about the business, and why their direction matters more than their level.
  3. 3Cash flowThe difference between profit and cash, what free cash flow is, and how to spot a company showing profit while burning money.
  4. 4Dilution and stock-based compensationHow a company's profit rises while your earnings per share falls, and why this is the easiest item to miss.
  5. 5Return on capital and the moatThe metric separating an excellent business from a merely large one, and why without a moat all profitability erodes.
  6. 6Valuation and multiplesWhat a P/E actually says, why 40 can be cheap and 8 expensive, and which multiple fits which kind of company.
  7. 7Finding long-term companiesThe quantitative screen, and how to tell real growth from growth that was bought with money.
  8. 8Building a thesis and a strategyHow to state a thesis in three lines, how to construct the portfolio, and the sell rules you set before you buy.

Track 4

Portfolio & psychology

The layer above the single trade — correlation, concentration, measurement and behaviour

You can manage every individual trade perfectly and still wipe out the account — if all the trades are secretly the same trade, or if emotion is running the execution. This track deals with the layer above.

0 of 4 lessons

  1. 1CorrelationHow fake diversification hides concentrated risk, and how to measure what your portfolio really holds.
  2. 2Concentration versus diversificationHow many positions each style calls for, and why too many names hurts returns just as too few does.
  3. 3Measuring performanceWhy "how much did I make" is the least useful metric, and what to measure instead.
  4. 4Behavioural mistakesThe seven common mistakes, exactly when each strikes, and the rule that neutralises it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the course paid?

No. Every lesson is open to everyone, with no signup and no subscription. Nothing is locked mid-way and no part is reserved for paying users.

In what order should I learn?

Foundations first, always. It teaches risk and position sizing, and without it the other tracks are worth little. After that, pick the style that fits your available time: day trading demands screen time, swing and long-term don't.

Do I need prior knowledge?

No. Every term is explained in a line or two with its English name alongside — because in every platform, filing and screener you'll meet the English name.

Is this investment advice?

No. The course is educational material only and is not advice or a recommendation to act in securities. Every decision is the user's own responsibility.

How long does it take?

34 lessons of three to five minutes each. You could read it all in a few evenings, but a lesson a day with practice in between works better.
