Dear reader!
The purpose of this instructional guide is to introduce novice traders to the financial market. I have tried to compile the materials in a way that covers all the key topics popular at the moment and to gather everything in one place, so there is no need to search for information across many websites or books. I also approached the theory selectively, highlighting only the key trading topics, as the theory is very extensive. By key topics, I mean the information that I have actively used myself for many years and apply in practice.

In my videos on
YouTube channel I mentioned that when I first started learning trading, there were few materials, and they were scattered, which complicated the learning process. That is why I considered it my contribution to development to create a small library where everyone interested in this topic could do it relatively simply and easily. There, I also prepared a playlist for studying separate trading topics in convenient videos.

What is trading: in simple terms

In the modern world of finance, the word "trading" appears increasingly often in news headlines, social media, and even in everyday conversations. It has become almost synonymous with the possibility of quick earnings, financial freedom, and working without an office. But what does this term actually mean? Who is a trader, and how does the market they earn on work?

Basics of Trading

Trading is the process of buying and selling financial assets with the goal of making a profit from the difference in prices. In practice, this may look like this: a trader buys an asset cheaper, waits for its value to increase, and sells it at a higher price. The difference between the purchase and sale price (taking commissions into account) is their profit.

Who is a trader?

A trader is a person who buys and sells financial instruments with the aim of making a profit. They analyze the market, forecast price changes, and make decisions: to buy, to sell, or to hold assets. Traders can work independently or as part of financial institutions—banks, hedge funds, investment, or brokerage companies.

Thanks to the development of online exchanges, brokerage services, and trading platforms, practically everyone today can start trading in the financial market. All you need for this is a computer or a smartphone and Internet access.

Opportunities and Risks

Trading is attractive due to the possibility of high incomes—experienced traders are capable of earning over $1,000 per month, and some significantly more ($2,000–$10,000/month). However, trading is not easy money. Statistically, most newcomers lose their investments within the first few months.
Reasons for losing the deposit:
Inexperience
