This is a free crypto trading course for beginners, in ten steps, built as one decision method for perpetual futures. Each step ends in something you produce, and the next step uses it. The last step edits the first, so the path is a loop. It teaches process, never which coin to buy, and a justified pass counts as a finished decision.
Work in order the first time. The charter fixes what the cycle may touch, the fact sheet and the risk budget fix what a position may cost, the charts and maps say where an idea is wrong, and the shortlist says which coins earn a plan. The plan, the ticket and the log then carry out the trade and check it. If you already hold an output, start at the chapter that uses it and test it against the table at the top of that chapter.
| Chapter | You produce | The next chapter uses it to |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Trading mindset | A one-page charter: markets, timeframes, risk ceiling, pass rule | Pick the contract whose liquidation distance, fees and funding you read |
| 2. Futures basics | A dated fact sheet for one perpetual | Turn its costs and liquidation distance into a sizing formula and a risk budget |
| 3. Risk and position sizing | A risk budget sheet: planned loss, ceilings, caps, pause trigger, sizing formula | Leave the stop distance for a chart to fill, and set up the chart |
| 4. Charting tools | A saved chart template and a dated watchlist | Draw each coin's levels on the template's two charts |
| 5. Market structure and Fibonacci | A level map per coin: trend, bands, invalidation closes | Label each coin and list the setups the label allows |
| 6. Trading market conditions | A condition label per coin, with its eligible setups or a pass | Start the shortlist from the labelled list |
| 7. Finding coins to trade | A shortlist of up to five coins and a pass list, each with a reason | Give each shortlisted coin a plan |
| 8. Entries, stops and exits | A written if-then plan per coin | Copy one plan onto an exchange form |
| 9. Placing orders | A completed order ticket and checklist for one plan | Fill the plan fields of a row in the log |
| 10. Review and practice | A decision log and a one-page process revision | Write version 2 of the chapter 1 charter, which the next cycle starts from |
Three sections sit behind the path. The setups are nine patterns, each written risk first. The concepts explain one tool or term each. The rules checklist puts the seven steps of the decision cycle on one page you can tick off. Start with the charter, and finish with a log and a second version of it.
