The Responsible Trader

Stock Trading Lessons for Beginners is part of the Continuous Education element of my advocacy, Responsible Trading.  In this connection, I am pleased to share these with you. All these lessons are shared without cost to you.  All of these are free.

I think by now everybody believes me that they should not be intimidated by the title of the course: Master’s Certificate in Technical Analysis.  Through my TRT-POV I will try my best to simplify the subject matter in an easily understandable manner.

Ok, let’s go to  Module 5.

JUST A FEW GENTLE REMINDERS

1.  These lessons are not intended to be a substitute for the seminars offered by your broker/s but intended to serve as basic foundation to enable you to better appreciate the seminars offered once you have access to them.

2.  Just like today, I will post the videos and outline the Learning Objectives every Saturday. As a value added, I will post my TRT-POV, (The Responsible Trader’s Point of View)  every Thursday of the following week,  to annotate and explain the trading lessons in a simple and understandable way.

3. After posting this video, , I expect you  to view and try to understand the topic discussed and do your own research to enhance your  learning experience.  When I post my TRT-POV, (The Responsible Trader’s Point of View)  you should then try to compare what I am sharing with what you have  learned. plus your own personal research.   We will repeat the whole process until we finish the whole course.

4.  Learning is better when done in short durations with breaks in between. The learning curve looks like this.

Rate of learning starts slowly then gradually builds up where it becomes fun and enjoyable. After reaching a certain level it  decelerates to the point of boredom.

If you divide your study periods into shorter durations with breaks in-bteween, you are going to double the point where learning is fun and enjoyable and you will be able to retain more materials in your brain.
