Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned retail trader seeking to refine your edge, this course delivers structured lessons, real-time demonstrations, and actionable takeaways. Dive into a curriculum that balances theory with hands-on practice, so you emerge ready to navigate both lightning-fast day trades and longer-term swing positions in the world’s most liquid market.

Why Day Trading & Swing Trading?

Day trading and swing trading represent two distinct approaches to profiting from currency fluctuations. Day trading focuses on capturing small price moves within a single session, aiming to close all positions before the market closes. Swing trading, on the other hand, capitalizes on medium-term trends, holding positions anywhere from a few hours to several days. Both styles offer unique advantages: day trading delivers rapid feedback loops and the ability to manage risk on a tight timeframe, while swing trading offers greater flexibility and the potential to ride broader market trends. By mastering both, you gain the versatility to adapt your tactics to nearly any market condition.

Day Trading Fundamentals

Day trading demands discipline, quick decision-making, and a clear edge. In this course, you’ll learn:

Order Types & Execution: Limit, market, stop-loss, and take-profit orders—when and why to use each.

Scalping vs. Momentum Trading: Techniques for capturing micro-moves or riding short bursts of volatility.

Timeframes & Chart Selection: Best practices for 1-minute to 15-minute charts, plus session overlap strategies.

High-Probability Setups: Identifying breakouts, pullbacks, and news-driven spikes with statistical edge.

Interactive sessions will show real-time chart examples, reinforcing how to read price action and execute trades under live conditions.

Swing Trading Fundamentals

Swing trading allows you to harness larger moves with less screen time. Topics covered include:

Trend Identification: Spotting higher highs and lower lows using moving averages and trendlines.

Support & Resistance Zones: Plotting key levels on daily and 4-hour charts to frame swing entries.

Pattern Recognition: Trading chart patterns—flags, wedges, head-and-shoulders—with entry and exit rules.

Through case studies, you’ll see how to combine technical indicators with market context to craft robust swing strategies.
