Quest 01 · Levels 1–5

Trading Learning Path

Turn a large article library into one clear journey: foundations, chart reading, one framework, testing, then controlled practice.

Quest map

Clear five checkpoints

Follow the sequence; do not skip levels for a tempting signal.

1

Market foundations

Understand Forex, XAUUSD, bid/ask, pip, lot, spread, margin, leverage and order anatomy.

✓ You can explain entry, size, stop loss and take profit.

2

Read the chart

Read OHLC candles, HH/HL, LH/LL, support and resistance, and multi-timeframe context.

✓ You can describe context without relying on one isolated signal.

3

Choose one framework

Study Price Action, MSNR, Wyckoff, Elliott or SMC/ICT with confirmation and failure rules.

✓ You can write entry, invalidation and no-trade conditions.

4

Test and measure risk

Use time-ordered tests, expectancy, drawdown, Monte Carlo assumptions and realistic costs.

✓ You have a defensible sample and understand historical limits.

5

Controlled practice

Use demo or paper trading, journal every decision, review weekly and change one variable at a time.

✓ You can follow a plan through a meaningful sample.

Chart lab

Read the chart as a story

A chart is not a collection of isolated signals. Describe trend, pullback, location and invalidation before considering an entry.
