Phase One - Foundation
"A strong foundation is the very first investment every successful trader makes."
About this course
Most traders skip this phase because it feels too basic. And then they wonder why their entire trading structure keeps collapsing. In Phase One, You will begin with your psychology transformation, because Trading Mindset is not the last chapter of trading education in-fact it's the first one. "Master your mind before you try to master the market." You will have a deep understanding of how the Indian market actually works — the real mechanics, looking at market as a trap not as a money making heaven, which most of the traders picturise it to be. You will understand Basics of Option, what an option actually is, what premium means, what is strike price, what expiry means. What is the difference between ITM, ATM and OTM — and why it matters for every single rupee you put in.
