When to buy

Signals & data
Paper trading, stock scanners, and the one decision that comes before any of it: discipline over prediction. You can't see every punch coming, but you can decide how many you'll take and which ones you block. Two signals off the same board — one paid in eight trading days, one never did — and the plan was the difference.

Risk & sizing
Four numbers exist before you ever click the buy, and the price you pay is the fifth. Your R — the most a trade is allowed to hurt — comes from your account, not from the stock. Then the stop, then 1R, 2R and 3R measured off it, and the share count falls out of a single division. The entry is the last number, not the first.

Signals & data
A qualifying name on the board isn't a buy signal by itself — timing still matters. Three checks to run before you enter, so the trade you take is the one the setup actually earned.

Reading charts
Every candle on the chart is a small story — open, high, low, close, and who won the fight in between. Learn to read that story on real charts and the rest of the board starts making a lot more sense.

Reading charts
Price isn't random. There are a handful of levels the market keeps returning to, and once you can see them the whole chart snaps into focus. This lesson covers what support and resistance really are, how to spot the levels that actually matter, why they're zones and not thin lines, and the two ways to trade them — all on real charts.
