Class 4: Introduction to Indicators
When using indicators, a trader is able to see opportunities and warnings that are not easily noticeable. Dig into the healthy use of indicators and how to use them to improve your win-loss ratio. This session will be primarily focused on trend indicators and momentum indicators.
MANAGE YOUR RISK
Class 5: Setting Stops, Account Protection and Trading Plans
Josh always says, "if you mange the risk, the profit will take care of itself." Managing the risk on each individual trade, and your overall account is the key to long-term success and big account growth. Also, learn about trading plans and your next steps as a new trader!

Your Trading Roadmap

The journey that you begin in Foundations of Trading: Level 1 is not the end of the road. While Level 1 is certainly enough to build a solid base of knowledge, serious traders will want to continue on to Levels 2 and 3 afterwards, where we will dive deeper into the topics and cover more advanced trading concepts.

Here's what that looks like:

Frequently Asked Questions

If your questions aren't covered below, we would love to chat with you. We're real people that really care! Just click the green chat bubble below to start a conversation.
Who is this class for?
If you are not currently trading for consistent profit, you need this class. You may be just beginning, or perhaps you're working to correct misinformation you were previously taught. Either way, this course will teach you how to make money trading.
How much trading knowledge and experience do I need to take this class?
This class is packed with information. If you are a complete beginner, don't worry–no prior knowledge or experience is needed. We have had students of all skill levels participate in similar trainings. If you have some previous knowledge of stock trading, the class will give you a stronger foundation to build on.
What is the time commitment and schedule for the class?
Each live training is between 45 minutes and one hour, Monday through Friday, starting at 12pm (noon) Eastern time. Students are encouraged to practice what they are learning in the time between sessions.

Depending on your schedule, plan to budget about 2 to 3 hours outside of the classroom training for additional practice. The program is designed to immerse you in the learning process, while still fitting into a busy schedule.
What do I need for class?
You will receive a pre-class training reviewing all of the helpful tools. At a minimum, you will need a charting application. There are several good free options available, and will be discussed during the program. Access to artificial intelligence forecasting is also very helpful.

While not required for class, a brokerage account is necessary before you can trade. Some students prefer to start with virtual accounts. This is your decision, but we encourage you to begin learning with a small amount of discretionary funds: money you can afford to lose if you make a mistake.
Can I enroll later?
We know that life is busy. There's probably never going to be a perfect time. We also know that we all crave to have more flexible financial resources and the freedom to focus on the things we love. This class is designed to fit into almost anyone's busy schedule, so you can easily immerse yourself in stock trading.

Even if you cannot attend the live trainings, there is an option to receive the recordings. Watch them at a convenient time. If you have questions when reviewing the video, our team is here to help. We think you'll be surprised how much progress you can make with just 5 days of concentrated focus.

If you are interested and enrollment is still open, we say go for it! Otherwise, the class does run a multiple times per year, so there will be future opportunities.
