Been trading for a while but feel like I’m missing some fundamentals. Want to brush up on technical analysis and risk management without paying crazy fees.
Most courses I’ve seen are either too basic or overpriced. Looking for something that covers real strategies traders actually use.
You can find free courses on YouTube.
Babypips School of Pipsology is your best bet - no marketing BS, just solid technical analysis and practical risk management. Trading212’s free stuff is great too since they focus on real setups instead of endless theory. Avoid anything promising quick profits or ‘secret systems’ - total garbage. The good free resources teach position sizing, chart patterns, and money management. That’s what separates actual traders from gamblers.
YouTube’s got loads of free content. This video covers day trading basics pretty well.
Skip the fluff and focus on the technical stuff.
Trading forums and watching experienced traders share their real trades taught me way more than any paid course ever did.
Major brokers like OANDA or IG have solid free content that covers the basics without the sales pitch.
You’ll actually improve by practicing with small amounts and tracking what works and what bombs.
TradingView’s educational stuff is gold - free articles and videos that actually dive deep into technical analysis. You can practice spotting patterns on their interactive charts while learning.
Honestly, most of what I know came from cobbling together free resources and testing everything on demo accounts. Just make sure you’re getting material with real chart examples, not just theory.
Investopedia’s trading simulator works great too. Practice your strategies without blowing real money while you’re getting better.
