Four course modules, then psychology — one concept at a time.

In Plain Words

Start here — the course in four modules, from the language of the chart to the cost of a mistake, with video. Take them in order: each lesson builds on the last.

Market language

Lessons 01–04

01 The candle in plain words — body, wick, and why it matters One candle is one period. The wick shows an attempt, the body shows the result — and confusing them is expensive. Watch lesson → 02 What liquidity really is — in plain words, and how to check it yourself Liquidity is not big players' money — it is other traders' stop orders, sitting exactly where everything looks obvious. Watch lesson → 03 A swing in plain words — three candles and one comparison A swing is three candles in a row where the middle one has a low below both of its neighbours. Behind it lies liquidity, and that is why price goes there. Strength comes from a senior timeframe, not from the place on the chart. Watch lesson → 04 Market structure in plain words — why a broken low is not a reversal yet The market moves through traps. A broken low is formally a broken low — in fact nothing may have changed. Watch lesson →

How price moves

Lessons 05–09

05 The trading range in plain words — premium, discount and reading direction A trading range is not a shape — it is the ruler you measure everything else with: direction and whether price is expensive or cheap right now. Watch lesson → 06 Impulse and correction in plain words — why a pullback is not a reversal Every move is fast leg then slow pullback then fast leg again. Direction changes only on a boundary break — a correction is a pause, not an end. Watch lesson → 07 Structure break in plain words — why a close below the anchor changes the picture Price goes under the anchor low and closes below it — the markup changes. A break is settled on the close, not on the poke through: a touch or a wick changes nothing. Watch lesson → 08 Timeframes in plain words — which scale to watch and why fewer is better The model is the same on every scale: what changes is not the drawing, it is the size. Why the impulse of the higher timeframe is the range of the lower one, and why one pair of scales is enough. Watch lesson → 09 Imbalance in plain words — the gap price comes back to An imbalance is the trace of a fast move: three candles and empty space between the wicks. Why the market returns to such places, and why a daily zone matters more than a four-hour one. Watch lesson →

From markup to trade

Lessons 10–13

10 Point A in plain words — where the correction ends Point A is not an entry line but the depth of the correction: the place where you wait for it to end. The arrival decides nothing — a close above the lower-timeframe break does. Watch lesson → 11 Point B in plain words — where the move is aimed Point B is the target: the nearest liquidity above, not a round number. The indicator labels that peak itself. Reaching it means a close above the target, not a wick through it. Watch lesson → 12 The trading plan in plain words — three questions A plan is not a prediction but the answer to three questions: where the market looks, where you enter from, and where you go. A closed case on gold: point A was never touched on the way to the target. Watch lesson → 13 When an idea is cancelled, in plain words — one condition An idea is cancelled by one condition: price went deeper than point A, and a wick is enough for that. The markup does not change — the idea was cancelled, not the direction. Watch lesson →

The cost of a mistake

Lessons 14–15

14 The cost of an error in plain words — visible before the entry The cost of an error is the distance from the entry price down to point A, and it is known before the trade. How its ratio to the distance to the target sets how often you must be right. Watch lesson → 15 Psychology in plain words — why a plan is not followed A plan can be written correctly and still not be followed. Three closed cases where the decision parted with the written condition, and the four lines that make the parting visible. Watch lesson →

Psychology

Behaviour — six articles on how traders actually make decisions: breaking the system, the loss trap, the disposition effect.

01 Why you break your own trading system Rules written cold, broken hot — why discipline can't fix it and how a binary entry criterion removes the need for willpower. Read → 02 Why "where will I be wrong" matters more than "where will I make money" The exact point where you admit you were wrong — and why analysis without it is incomplete. Read → 03 Why bias matters more than your entry model The best entry in the wrong direction is worse than the worst entry in the right one. Read → 04 Analysis paralysis The more indicators on your chart, the worse your decisions — on the cognitive limit and the clean chart. Read → 05 Disposition Effect: Why You Hold Losses and Sell Profits A loss feels stronger than an equal-sized gain — why you close profits too early and hold losses, calling it patience. Read → 06 Revenge trading: why you can't trade right after a loss Revenge trading drains an account not through the first mistake, but through the string of trades after it — and how an objective criterion takes revenge out of trading. Read → 07 Why someone else's profit screenshot says nothing about your work A profit screenshot is a report with the second half missing: the outcome is visible, the risk is not. Why comparing yourself to someone else's account replaces your own criterion — and what to put in its place. Read →
