About technical analysis and trading notes
GoConqr OriginalTechnical analysis and trading notes
The notes on this page cover trading concepts and the decisions traders make. Alongside notes on moving averages, you can find material on mental control, risk and reward, trading plans, price action and candlesticks.
Choose a starting point
Start with the note on risk and reward if you want to focus on how losses and wins relate. Its discussion of planning the downside gives you a specific idea to look for as you read. For another perspective, the note on mental control considers competence and confidence.
If you want to study indicators, begin with the note explaining what a moving average is. Then compare it with the note on combining moving averages with other indicators. Write a short summary of each note in your own words and check where the ideas overlap.
Move between formats
When you want to see how related ideas connect, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz can help you check what you remember after reading. Choose a topic and open a note to begin.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a useful place to start?
The note on risk and reward is a focused starting point for studying the relationship between losses and wins. If indicators are your priority, try the note explaining what a moving average is instead. Both give you a specific concept to follow before you compare related notes.
What topics do these notes cover?
The collection includes notes on moving averages, trading plans, mental control, risk and reward, candlesticks and price action. There are also notes on basic foreign exchange terms and technical indicators. You can choose a topic that matches what you are studying rather than reading the collection in order.
