COMPLETE BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING PROGRAM

Lesson 1: The History of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency

On the first lesson, you will learn about the general history of Bitcoin, cryptos and blockchain technology. All the basic cryptocurrency-related phrases and terminology will be explained here in detail. If you never heard of cryptos before, this is a fantastic starting point. We will show how cryptocurrencies operates independently from banks and government and why this is seen to be a huge advantage for the consumer. We will discuss the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the largest and second largest blockchain platforms.

Bonus Lesson (On Demand): Blockchain, Cryptography and Hashing Functions

During our on-demand lesson, you will understand more about cryptography and hashing functions in order to learn about the core concepts of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies are the tip of the iceberg of what can be done with blockchain technology. You will learn how the inventor of Bitcoin - Satoshi Nakamoto - used simple mathematical solutions to secure the whole Bitcoin network, and why it is virtually impossible to hack the blockchain.

Lesson 2: Altcoins and the Economics behind Cryptocurrencies

On this final live online lesson in our introductory program, we dive deeper into the world of cryptocurrencies and learn about other digital currencies which can be added to your portfolio on your way to becoming a Master Trader. You will get familiar with price formation and the financial aspects of cryptocurrencies. At the end of this lesson, we will also introduce you to some essential trading sources when trading cryptocurrencies and we will begin the journey into applying technical analysis to the crypto-markets in order to spot potential opportunities within these exciting markets.

Lesson 3: Demystifying Trading

In this lesson we go through the common trading terms and we explain the jargon used by traders. Most importantly, we cut through a lot of unnecessary terminology employed by those who just want to appear impressive, and we concentrate on what to really hone in upon. We also spend a lot of time on the real-time trading platform – working with you to provide practical examples of the theory in action.

Lesson 4: Market Analysis

We cover both fundamental analysis and technical analysis and we use the real-time trading platform to discover how they are both used by day traders, the longer-term swing and positional traders, and by investors. We accept that there is no “one style to suit all” approach when it comes to trading, so it is best to understand all aspects so that trading can be approached in a much more holistic and informed manner before delving into our preferred styles of trading.

Lesson 5: Technical Analysis

We revert again to the real-time trading platform so that we can understand the function of a Trader, and how to approach the markets from a technical perspective. It is important to always approach our trading from a very dispassionate, objective stance – which this methodology allows us to do – through the use of technical indicators such as support, resistance and many other basic indicators. Again, we access the real-time trading platform as we tie this lesson back with all previous ones so that we can understand how our trading arsenal is beginning to grow, along with our confidence.

Lesson 6: Application

Things begin to get exciting as we open the real-time trading platform and look at specific trading tools to help us approach the markets in a very objective sense as a retail trader. By reviewing what we have learned to date, we take our time to study trading charts and we ask questions of them. We accept that the price tells us everything that we need to know; we simply need to understand what the instruction is, and then act accordingly. This is a massively important class as it begins to put the theory into real practice!

Lesson 7: Risk Management

Perhaps the most important lesson of all. Unless we completely understand our risk in each and every trade that we place, we must have the self-control to not place a trade. Risk management allows us to survive. Risk management protects us. Risk management allows us to grow our capital. By minimising the capital lost in losing trades, we can concentrate on maximising the profits of the successful trades because we let our winning trades run in a sensible controlled methodology.

Lesson 8: Practicalities of Trading and Next Steps

In our final class we look at the issues which affect traders. Each trader has the potential to be successful, so we want to understand what differentiates the successful traders from the unsuccessful traders. We want to understand the difference in mindset between both and do our utmost to ensure that we fall into the latter category. This is done by having predefined processes that are executed without emotion according to those specific methodologies. No emotion, just process. We finish by outlining what we believe should be the next steps for anyone hoping to apply themselves seriously to trading.
