Nifty trading course for beginners

Learn to read the Nifty 50 chart from zero: what the index is, how a price is made, candlesticks, support and resistance, risk, and how often each pattern really worked on the Nifty.

Your lesson path

1. Where buyers meet sellersA market is any place, in a street or online, where buyers and sellers meet to trade, and a stock exchange is a big, organised market for company shares.
2. How a price is madeA price is simply where a buyer and a seller agree, so when more people want to buy than sell the price rises, and when more want to sell it falls.
3. Owning a slice of a companyA share is one small, equal slice of a company, so owning shares makes you a part-owner whose slice can rise or fall in value.
4. Your first chartA chart is a picture of price over time: time runs left to right, price runs bottom to top, and each candle sums up one period.
5. India: NSE and BSEIn India, shares trade on NSE and BSE from 9:15 until about 3:30, and SEBI is the referee.
6. Circuit breakers and price limitsWhen prices fall too fast some markets hit pause, but not every market has a pause button.
7. Opens, closes and weekend gapsMarkets that close can jump when they reopen, so the open and the weekend are special moments on the chart.
8. What one candle tells youEvery candle shows four prices: where it started, its highest, its lowest and where it finished.
9. Bodies and wicks: the tug of warA big body means one side won; a long wick means a push that got pushed back.
10. The hammerA hammer after a fall shows sellers pushed hard but buyers pushed the price back up.
11. Rule one: stay in the gameLose half your money and you must double what is left just to get back to the start.
12. The stop-loss: decide your exit firstA stop-loss is the price where your idea is wrong, and you choose it before you enter.
13. Taking profit: plan the exitDecide where you will take profit before you enter, so greed does not decide for you.
14. Why your stop loss gets hitStops get hit for four plain reasons: the obvious level, a stop tighter than normal noise, a size that is too big, and moving it.
15. The one-line stop ruleStop first, size second: size = the money you accept to lose ÷ the stop distance.

What the Nifty 50 charts say
