Free share market course for beginners

A free stock market course from the very start: what a share is, how a price is made, the NSE and BSE, charts and candlesticks, risk, price and value, and why most traders lose.

Your lesson path

1. Money: spend, save or investMoney is a tool for swapping, and you can spend it now, save it for later or invest it so it might grow, knowing it could also shrink.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Risk: the chance of losingRisk is the chance that you get back less than you put in, so only ever risk a small amount you can afford to lose.
7. India: NSE and BSEIn India, shares trade on NSE and BSE from 9:15 until about 3:30, and SEBI is the referee.
8. Price and value: what a share really isA share is a small piece of a real business, and its price is what people pay today, which is not always what it is worth.
9. Revenue, profit and earnings per shareRevenue is the money a business brings in, profit is what is left after costs, and EPS is the profit for each share.
10. What one candle tells youEvery candle shows four prices: where it started, its highest, its lowest and where it finished.
11. Bodies and wicks: the tug of warA big body means one side won; a long wick means a push that got pushed back.
12. The hammerA hammer after a fall shows sellers pushed hard but buyers pushed the price back up.
13. Rule one: stay in the gameLose half your money and you must double what is left just to get back to the start.
14. The stop-loss: decide your exit firstA stop-loss is the price where your idea is wrong, and you choose it before you enter.
15. Taking profit: plan the exitDecide where you will take profit before you enter, so greed does not decide for you.
16. 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.
17. The one-line stop ruleStop first, size second: size = the money you accept to lose ÷ the stop distance.
