What will I learn in this crypto trading course?
You’ll learn how to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies using proven technical strategies — from reading charts and spotting breakouts to applying stop losses and managing risk. You’ll also discover how to combine short-term trading with long-term investing for balanced growth.
What’s the difference between day trading, swing trading, and investing in crypto?
Day trading focuses on short-term moves and volatility within hours. Swing trading captures multi-day to multi-week trends. Investing takes a long-term approach — building positions in quality cryptos like Bitcoin or Ethereum for months or years.
How can I trade cryptocurrency safely?
Use risk management. Always define stop losses, manage position sizes, and never risk more than 1–2% of your capital on a single trade. The course includes specific sections on risk/reward ratios and position sizing for both traders and investors.
What indicators are best for crypto trading?
Volume, moving averages, and money flow indicators are powerful tools for identifying trend strength and potential reversals. You’ll learn how to combine them with candlestick and breakout analysis for high-accuracy trade setups.
How do I find explosive cryptocurrencies to trade?
Learn how to scan platforms like Coinbase and TradingView for trending altcoins showing early breakout potential. The course includes real examples of coins like SOL, ADA, and DOT — and shows how to evaluate them technically and fundamentally.
Is this course beginner-friendly?
Yes! Everything is explained clearly and visually. You’ll start with blockchain basics and end with professional-level trading routines. No prior experience required.

first thanks for speaking slow and clear this is important to understand everything. I'll try to apply what I learned from you on the next crypto trading. I didn't like the session where you explained illustrating the chart about some coin on 2021...a lot of thing are changed. I saw you showed some 2022 charts as well which is much better. Overall I have to thank you and I"ll check out more courses from you.
By Marius Andrei on 10/26/2022
I think is a good course for a begginer like me, however I would have liked a bit more informations and a bit more clarity on few things(for example why you start and end a trend line in a certain point)Overall I believe it provides good knowledge and I actually just bought another course of his...to kind of learn a bit more and also give it another chance before I make my mind up completly about the course.
By Elizabeth Paterson on 11/28/2021
I liked that the course got straight to the point. The presenter was clearly knowlegable and passionate about the subject matter but didn't waffle on with filler material. The live trading section was very helpful and showed how the knowledge is applied. I waited until I started trading for myself before rating this course. My rating of five stars is because I went from knowing zero about the subject to actually trading on my own. I realise it will take a while to gain confidence and expertise, but this course got me started and also fed my enthusiasm. Thank you to Luca for putting in the time and effort to make this course.
By Thilo G. on 6/5/2021
There is certainly a lot to learn from Luca and I enjoyed getting a glimpse of what technical analysis in crypto trading is about. However I must admit that I completely fell for the title and the high ratings. Get rich quick, learn a language in 30 days or understand the blockchain technology and trade cryptos for profit in a six hour course just does not work for me. My bad. Apart from that, I rate the course no higher than average. I am aware that this review may prevent (future) traders from paying for the course, although I pretty much doubt it. If on the other hand these three stars encourage SharperTrades to improve the educational content they provide, I am in good hope that this evaluation system has served its purpose.
By Alicia on 3/5/2021
Trading platforms which are used or even mentioned aren’t the most commonly which makes me doubt whether the host is a trader or the info biz person. It also feels that the material is a little bit outdated. I wish there would be more about the efficiency of Luca’s trading strategies otherwise it’s not understandable what can be achieved with the use of his strategy. I also feel that I know nothing about he experience and background of the person: even his own website, LinkedIn lacks info on that part. I’m glad for the intro and good start for my own research, but I wish to know more about the resources of the knowledge given.
By Enes Yılmaz on 1/23/2021
Luca is teaching the essentials all about crypto trading. You can get super useful information and some techniques. But never forget that you are in a war while trading these markets. And these techniques are just like your armor and helmet that keeps the potential threat away from you. But you can't defend yourselves without a weapon. And the only weapon you can use is your mind and psychology.

Not sure until I learn more.

yes, good course

I like how the trainer explains things clearly.

bite size videos, love it
By John Noe on 11/8/2020
As a person with very little trading experience. Up until now I have only been a buyer who buys low and never sells. I guess I'm what is known as a hodler. It's been about 3 years since I invested and I've seen amazing swings in price and to be honest I've always felt that I was not managing my position correctly by being a hodler. I'm about half way through this course and I have gained a lot of confidence that I will be profitable as a position trader and my dream is to become proficient enough to trade anytime I see a very favorable position. Cheers
