We've done our best to give you a comprehensive look into the fascinating world of trading crypto. Feel free to watch a lesson multiple times if needed. The real journey begins when you put your own money on the line, then it becomes real, exciting and potentially profitable.

To be a successful crypto trader, it's important to have the right mindset. No one, and that includes you and me, can trade with 100% accuracy, it just doesn't happen. But when you learn to trade with your head and not your heart, you'll win more trades and become a profitable trader.

No matter your thoughts on Bitcoin or trading, Blockchain has and is changing the way the world does business. It's smart to, at the least, understand the fundamentals.

A brief look into a very important part of owning crypto, how and where should you store it?  Simple question, but the answer could mean the difference between keeping your crypto safe and losing it all.

Bitcoin and blockchain were the beginning, but now there are countless coins (termed Alt Coins) available. It's impossible to know them all and the smart trader will become a specialist, narrowing his or her focus and understanding the nuances of the token(s).

Buying and selling crypto is an important part of your trading education. We hold tokens in several and do not recommend one over the other. In ALL cases, do your own due diligence.

The trading platform used in these lessons was chosen for its ease of use and availability. Those parameters may change, but the elements taught in this course should be transferable to any you choose to use.

Alerts are simply a way of being quickly notified when a certain piece of data passes a data point you've assigned. This keeps you from being glued to the screen, but still able to move fast in what is a volatile market.

Watchlists are simply a way for a trader to track (be make aware) of what their favorite coin/token is doing without having to remain glued to the screen 24/7.

The definition of Money Flow can be very technical, however essentially, this tells us if money is flowing into or out of a particular coin/token. As with all indicators, this is one condition we need to watch in order to make an informed trading decision.

A Moving Average (MA) is a technical term that tracks the average change within a day.  In crypto, while MA is something to be aware of, it is a constantly moving target since the crypto markets operate 24/7

Volume speaks to the liquidity of a coin.  Usually measured over a 24hr period, volume represents the amount of coins that have been bought or sold during that peiord.

There's an old expression that says "Know Thy Self". That's probably a metaphysical meaning, but still, it holds true when trading. Are you a day trader? Maybe you're in for a few days or a week, then you might be classified as a swing trader. It's not critical to put a label on it, but understanding your own style will help you make better trading decisions.

Charts can be confusing at first and will take some time and effort to master.  Is it worth it?  In my opinion, yes, once learned you'll find a wealth of information that can help you make a successful trade.

Basically going long is betting on the coin increasing in value, while going short is the reverse.  Primarily we focus on going long and that can happen in hours, days, or weeks.  Whether or not you make a "short" play will depend on your trading style and risk management.

Support and resistance are two VERY important indicators.  Just like a floor and a ceiling in a building, they can't be passed, either up or down without effort or renovation.

Trend lines (when drawn on a chart) mark the average direction a coin/token is moving, either up or down.  Normally this is associated with support and resistance.  When high and lows are drawn, they visually represent the activity.  When both highs and lows are drawn, they will often show a channel of support and resistance, giving traders a visual look at how their coin/token is performing over time.

A consolidation pattern is simply a pause in a stock's trend which allows the trend to continue further. ... Consolidation patterns can also occur as trend reversals and it is the direction of the breakout from the pattern that determines whether it is a continuation or a reversal of the trend.

Candle stick charts have an ancient history tied to the buying and selling of rice. While that may seem dated, actually, with small adjustments candles are used today to give traders an instant overview of how a coin, stock or commodity is performing. They are well worth the time it may take to understand them more fully.

Just like a bar chart, a daily candlestick shows the market's open, high, low, and close for the day. The candlestick has a wide part, which is called the "real body." This real body represents the price range between the open and close of that day's trading.

Anything you do you become better at with practice and the same is true with Candles.  At first, they may seem confusing, they certainly did for me, however, over time they became more and more clear and were a definite advantage for my trading decisions.

A breakout pattern is when a price moves past support or resistance to establish new highs or lows.  The difficulty lay in spotting a true breakout as opposed to momentary breakouts.  One test is the amount of volume associated with the breakout.

While this course is centered on how to trade profitably with crypto currency, many of the terms and charts have been honed for years in Stocks, Commodities and Forex. Crypto is inherently volatile, so a good deal of attention should be centered on a breakout, especially when coupled with high volume. This is where having an alert setup is vital to not only your timing, but also your sanity.

Risk management is crucial for the crypto trader. No one, certainly not myself can boast of a 100% win rate, although our software is doing very well. Because of this, you need to make bold moves when the time is right, but only with money you can afford to lose. Never invest with scared money (rent or grocery), it could easily wipe you out completely.-

Risk management is part of the Trading Mindset (watch that video again), the successful trader will learn to spot an opportunity, then make his or her move without hesitation. This is not gambling (go to Las Vegas for that), this is making an informed decision, then acting on that decision.

How much are you willing to risk on any one trade? While we cannot and do not offer financial advice, we NEVER recommend putting too much into one trade. For small investors $100 or $200 is a reasonable amount, traders who have more to risk might trade with a larger position. That is always your decision, but remember to trade with your head and not your emotions. Bottom line, live to trade another day.

When the time comes to place aa Buy order, you need to trust your judgment and move forward with the trade. it's wise to know in advance your expectation for the trade and at what price you will exit. We'll use all the normal parameters we've leared, entering an exit point as well as a stop loss.

A great deal of money can be made by going short on a coin, stock or commodity. Of course that assumes the market continues to fall and you can buy back your position at the reduced cost, evening the scales and taking your profits. The problem is should the market correct itself and the coin, stock or commodity move up, then up more and more, you could face catastrophic loss.

Going short is not for the faint of heart and should never be done (in my opinion), by a neophyte trader.
