Free starter track: learn to trade in 12 short lessons

12 lessons from the AnkushAI Academy, in learning order, free for everyone with no card and no account needed to read. Each lesson has a short video, a written guide you can read at your own pace with a worked example, and a quick quiz to check what stuck.

The track goes from what a market actually is, through reading candles, trends and support and resistance, to protecting your account with stops and position sizing, your first options lesson, and how to review your trades in a journal.

Read the chart

  1. What a Market Actually Is: Every price you will ever see is a trade between a buyer and a seller. Start there.
  2. Anatomy of a Candle: Candles are the alphabet of every chart in the app.
  3. Timeframes Explained: The same stock can trend up and down at once. Timeframes explain how.

Find the structure

  1. What a Trend Really Is: Higher highs and higher lows: the simplest read of who is in control.
  2. Support and Resistance Basics: Where price has turned before is where your plan starts.
  3. Role Reversal: Old Resistance, New Support: Broken resistance often becomes support. It is one of the cleanest setups to learn early.

Protect the account

  1. Why Every Trade Needs a Stop: A stop is the price that proves the idea wrong, decided before you buy.
  2. Risk Per Trade: The 1% Idea: One number, used every time, keeps a losing streak survivable.
  3. From Stop Distance to Share Count: Stop first, then size. This turns risk into a share count.
  4. Thinking in R-Multiples: Grade every trade in R so a $50 trade and a $5,000 trade compare fairly.

Your first options lesson

  1. What an Option Actually Is: Calls, puts, strikes and premium, without the jargon.

Review and improve

  1. What to Record in a Trading Journal: The journal is where a trader actually gets better. Learn what to log and how to review it.

Next: practise what you learned on real charts in Practice, see today's stocks in play, or keep going in the full Academy.
