Lesson 1. The Right Mindset for Trading - How to Use Charts on Tradingview

Trading Roadmap for Beginners and Experienced Traders
📌 The learning curriculum is structured for one month, consisting of 12 sessions (three sessions per week).
📚 The course starts with foundational knowledge, covering the correct trading mindset and how to open and use charts/indicators.
⚠️ Key concepts are marked in red on the curriculum; missing or misunderstanding these critical lessons will result in significant knowledge gaps.
💡 Newcomers should treat the material as starting from a blank slate, setting aside prior, potentially incorrect, knowledge.

The Correct Trading Mindset (Tư Duy Đúng Về Giao Dịch)
🐢 Embrace the idea of "slow and steady profit"; rapid gains like X1000 or doubling an account are unrealistic for beginners and often masked by previous significant losses.
🛑 Avoid chasing quick money driven by social media hype (e.g., TikTok); traders who achieve massive gains usually incurred substantial losses ($10,000 to $20,000 lost) before succeeding.
💼 Maintain primary employment; do not quit your job to trade full-time, as trading involves probability—you will have losing months, and primary income is needed for daily living expenses.
📉 Understand that trading is based on probability (50/50); the goal of technical analysis is to increase the win rate from 50% to a more profitable level (e.g., 70/30).

Market Selection and Chart Usage
🌏 The training provides general trading knowledge applicable to Crypto, Forex, and Stock markets, but individuals must choose one specific market to focus on initially.
📊 The platform used for viewing prices and executing analysis is TradingView.com; charts display the current price of the asset being traded.
💰 Trading involves predicting future price movement (up or down); if the prediction matches the outcome, you profit; if not, you lose money.
🔎 To analyze assets like Gold (XAUUSD) or Bitcoin (BTCUSDT), users must search for their specific symbols on TradingView and ensure the chart displays candlesticks (nến).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Prioritize foundational knowledge; these basic concepts are like multiplication tables and are essential for quickly learning more advanced topics later.
➡️ Lust/Greed (lòng tham) is the primary factor that kills traders; without proper knowledge, one is easily misled by external opinions.
➡️ Trading success relies on increasing the probability of winning above 50% through technical analysis of past price action (candlesticks).
