Learn how to trade (for free)

This is a list of Internet resources that have helped me learn to trade. I am not affiliated with any of these trainers. I recommend you search for their free content on YouTube.

I first came across Dan when I was learning to trade Crypto back in 2017. He will teach you the basics of Technical Analysis, and I consider his teachings a solid foundation that every trader needs to know. If you're new to Technical Analysis, this is a good place to start.

This is a much more aggressive style of trading than Dan and Rayner. Highly worth understanding his concepts as a lot of traders follow his teachings. Knowing how your competition trades is a big advantage.

Tom Hougaard

Watch his 3-part day trading psychology talk (London 2020) for an insight into trader psychology in the real world. I do not trade like Tom, but it is very beneficial to know how traders like this think and act.

Tom Dante

An absolute legend who you'll appreciate after you've been trading for a while. Just listen to everything he has. Great for listening in the car on longer journeys as it is both entertaining as well as educational. My favourite 'edutainment' resource, anywhere, full stop.

Peter Davies

If you want to know why the market does what it does; why it goes up, why it goes down, why it suddenly spikes, why it goes sideways - he will explain the mechanics in great detail. If you want to scalp the smaller timeframes, you really need to know how the market works.

Ross Cameron

Possibly a controversial entry as Ross is "Internet Infamous", but in my opinion he does trade and manage risk on breakouts extremely well, and there is some good trading advice among his videos. Although he focuses on penny stocks, the same strategies can be used trading breaks of consolidation on ES.
