Stock Basics
Understand how markets really work — from your first ticker symbol to reading price charts and placing structured paper trades with confidence.

- Market mechanics — exchanges, brokers, orders and settlement, explained plainly.
- Chart reading — candlesticks, trends, support and resistance you can spot.
- First trades — structured paper-trading drills with mentor-reviewed checklists.

Who it's for
Absolute beginners welcome
If terms like "P/E ratio" or "candlestick" sound foreign, this is your starting line. No finance background, no math degree — just 4–5 focused hours a week and curiosity.
