BEGINNER COURSE · CURRICULUM
Understand a strategy.
Build your own portfolio.
Eight lessons, each 30 minutes or less. No TradingView experience required.
Use StrategyCompare for research and portfolio construction, then TradingView for paper practice and signals. This course teaches a decision process, not a promise of profit.
Understand how a strategy trades
Read entry, exit, stop-loss, direction and position-sizing rules. Recognise repainting and look-ahead risks.
Your assignment: Write a one-page rule sheet and explain when the strategy could fail.
Run a meaningful TradingView backtest
Use the Strategy Tester, set capital, commission and slippage, and verify a sample of trades. Historical availability depends on the instrument, timeframe and plan.
Your assignment: Record settings and manually check five trades against the chart.
Read results without being misled
Interpret net return, drawdown, profit factor, CAGR, sample size and buy-and-hold comparison. Identify depleted-capital runs and selection bias.
Your assignment: Reject one attractive-looking result using a documented risk or evidence criterion.
Use StrategyCompare to choose settings
Search strategy logic, screen markets and periods, inspect heatmaps, and compare non-overlapping historical periods where available.
Your assignment: Create a shortlist with reasons and record the dates used to select it.
Build a strategy portfolio
Allocate weights, examine combined drawdowns and overlapping exposures, and compare a duplicate portfolio. Understand the site's fixed-weight simulation.
Your assignment: Build two portfolios and explain the trade-off; do not pick only the highest return.
Set up TradingView signals and paper practice
Match the original script and settings, understand alert timing and limitations, and record paper signals. Alerts do not automatically mean orders were executed.
Your assignment: Create a signal log and compare paper outcomes with assumptions; no live auto-trading is required.
Create your risk and review plan
Define capital at risk, drawdown limits, review dates, change rules and an untouched observation period. Include missed signals and execution costs in the review.
Your assignment: Submit a portfolio research report and a written monitoring plan before considering real capital.
