Many new traders enter the equity market with scattered information. They may understand that a share price is moving, but they do not have a repeatable way to decide whether the share is worth watching, where the trend is, when to enter, where the stop belongs, how much to risk, or when to exit.
Learn how to trade equities and equity CFDs using a structured, rules-based process. This course takes you from the basics of shares and share CFDs through to valuation filters, technical trend analysis, trade triggers, stop placement, position sizing, trade management, and review. The focus is practical: fewer random trades, clearer decisions, and a defined process before any trade is placed.
This course gives the learner a step-by-step framework. Instead of chasing tips or reacting emotionally to chart movement, the learner is taught to filter the market, identify direction, wait for a valid setup, use a trigger, place a structure-based stop, calculate position size, and manage the trade according to rules.
By the end of the course, the learner should have a complete trade-planning process for equities and equity CFDs, including a strategy checklist, position-sizing method, trade worksheet, and review routine.
