7-Step Guide to Successful Trading (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Welcome to the 7-Step Guide to Trading. We know you're making a smart decision to start here and take control of your financial education. Remember, successful traders, use documented processes to implement their trading strategy. This guide will help you develop that process so you can make informed decisions at each step of investing. First, please watch the introductory video from Coach Matt Justice as he provides an overview of the 7 steps that will be discussed.

Set up a virtual account with a broker such as TD Ameritrade’s Thinkorswim. The virtual account will give you some thousands of fake money to play with and try strategies out with.
Here are a few trading platforms to choose from:

Thinkorswim
Fidelity
Charles Schwab

Now start trading in your virtual account. Choose stocks and buy (or short) them. Then try exiting at a profit.
