Get it wrong?
Learn from the correction.

If a practice trade loses or you close it yourself, a guided correction replay shows how to follow the strategy, with the signal candle circled.

A loss does not always mean your decision was wrong. The replay helps you understand the rules; real trades can still lose.

SIMULATOR PREVIEWOpening Range Breakout

Have a go in the simulator.

Choose a strategy, watch the candles and decide whether to Buy, Sell or Wait. You can pause whenever you need.

LESSON SNAPSHOTSection 4 · Reading charts

What is a candle telling you?

The course's candle diagram, showing the open, close, high and low.

Each candle shows the opening, highest, lowest and closing price for a period of time.

“A live candle is unfinished and can change.”

A course example: At 10:14, a 10:00–10:15 candle has not finished. A strategy that needs its final closing price must wait until 10:15.

Quick check: can an unfinished candle change?

Yes. Its shape and closing price can still change. Wait for it to finish when the strategy requires a completed candle.

STRATEGY SNAPSHOTOne of the 26 included strategies

Opening Range Breakout

Start with a box around the opening price range. Then follow a clear rule, one step at a time.

  1. 01
    Find the starting box

    The simulator marks its highest and lowest prices.

  2. 02
    Wait for a finished candle

    A brief move outside the box is not enough.

  3. 03
    Check which side it closes on

    A close above the box is the Buy signal. A close below is the Sell signal.

Then practise the same strategy. Review your attempt with the correction replay and try the setup again.

This is a teaching example, not a recommendation to place a real trade.

All included for £29.99 once. Nine course sections, all 26 strategies, simulator practice, correction replays and a glossary. Lifetime course access.
