What Will You Learn?
From knowing no more than the word ‘stocks’ to using analytical techniques combined with calculated thinking to interpret potential returns – everything you need to unlock your financial potential and reach your trading and investing goals is contained within.
The Introduction to Trading and Investing Diploma Course explains fundamental and technical trading analysis, investment strategies and portfolio building, money management, and risk/reward methodologies.
The course begins by introducing trading itself – the concepts, basic terminology used, psychological elements, core trading strategies, asset classes, and broker choice considerations.
You’ll explore the basics of fundamental analysis – looking at economic indicators, the news, and quantitative fundamentals, and how to perform fundamental analysis on companies.
It’s then on to technical analysis. You’ll begin with reading a chart, candlestick basics, and support and resistance, before moving onto trading indicators – covering common signals, patterns, the importance of trading volume, and moving averages. Finally, we’ll look into advanced charting techniques – learning about the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Relative Strength Index (RSI).
We’ll explore how to manage money and accurately assess risk and reward. We’ll also compare trading with investing and consider their core differences, pros, and cons.
The course rounds out with a look at the basics and strategies of investing. We’ll consider the way to view and create a portfolio with a focus on diversification and asset classes, and how to go about setting investment goals. We’ll then look at the six key strategies of investing, splitting these into two categories – index funds and individual stocks and securities.
By studying this course, you will:
- Understand trading concepts, strategies and terminology
- Learn about fundamental analysis
- Learn about technical analysis
- Become familiar with money management and assessing risk and reward
- Learn the basics and strategies of investing
- Acquire the knowledge and confidence to develop a portfolio
