About This Course

Day trading is a term that means buying and selling a security within the same day. It is not gambling, it is also not complicated, and there are no secrets to getting rich quickly. Day trading is simply buying and selling a stock on the same day.

What you are going to learn in this course is how to understand what direction security is trading in and how to take advantage of the change in price.

We are going to keep things extremely simple and we are going to start with the basics and slowly add more layers of knowledge to our foundation until we feel comfortable making our own trades.

Throughout this course, you will learn how to execute trades, manage a bankroll, and create a long-term trading strategy that you can tweak and improve to meet your personal investing style. You are not going to get rich overnight, this is going to take time and it is going to be a slow learning process but by the end of the course, you will have a new skill that can scale much faster than any other occupation.

The goal of this course is to provide a structured strategy that you can learn and build upon.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    This course is a great example of what a course should be. The information was well-divided into digestible chunks and well-presented. I've just read a couple books on the topic and while they added a good foundation, Josh's manner of presenting the material made all of the reading make a lot more sense. I appreciate very much the value gained from time invested in this course and will review several sections to further cement the learning.
