Course Description
Crypto Trading From Scratch is a complete highly acclaimed course of 15 videos divided into 5 modules that takes you from the very basics of trading to becoming a competent, well-rounded, and successful cryptocurrency trader. We begin by going over the basics of trading and analysis, and how to determine what type of trader you are. Then we dive into technical analysis, learning the ins and outs of trends, chart patterns, and the most important indicators and drawing tools. I share with you my approach to analyzing volume so you can spot price reversals on any timeframe. We follow that by learning how to select your targets and stop losses, and I show you my complete thought process throughout the entirety of successful trades. Finally, we discuss risk management and how to calculate your position sizes, and trading psychology so that you can stay level-headed and persevere as a trader. By the end of this course, you will be able to look at a chart of any cryptocurrency and find likely profitable trades. These strategies are most effective in inefficient and hype markets. Please note that this course is not financial advice; trading is risky and only risk what you can afford to lose!

Section 4 is gold, wish you could add more content on there. Overall totally enjoyed this course. It gives you a solid foundation to trading. You can extend this with researching in depth the various points or topics shared in the course as well to gain more confidence in your trading

A really excellent amount of information, presented about as efficiently as possible. You really do learn the fundamentals of TA in a very short course, and the instructor is an excellent communicator. I think it does jump in a bit quickly if you've never looked at charts or candles before. I needed to repeat certain sections and analyze charts on TradingView right after to really internalize the content. My one request would be some updates for the latest market cycle, or a discussion of a few more indicators such as MACD.

Excellent! precise and to the point. Trading can be a very complex discipline. Presenter makes the process easy to grasp, breaking down valuable components and insights that provide life-long skill sets which could supplement your income into retirement.

Excellent course. Huge amount of information, which is delivered very concisely. I'd recommend watching at least once fully through, then watching again and finding all the patterns etc on real charts, then watch a third time and try some practice trades before using real moola. Easily one of the better courses I've done on crypto trading.

For me this was the perfect course to get started and understanding the basics. I also think you have a perfect voice, it was very nice listening to you explain everything calmly. I really like the example section and wish you would have shown a few more scenarios. I definitely recommend this course to everyone just starting out!

Very good content to be able to start trading quickly without too much risk. I find that Section 4 "Trading with a Place", which provides a practical example of a trade and the process we follow to execute it, should be presented much earlier in the course, perhaps even at the very beginning. I find that it would have been easier after to connect the dots with the rest of the course.

It's the most thorough explanation I've encountered so far on trading cryptocurrencies. It gives a very close view on techniques, tools but also an insight into the way of thinking of a good trader. Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to start trading cryptos.
By Marjorie on 1/3/2020
I didn't know anything about trading cryptocurrencies before this course. The information is laid out well and is very easy to understand. It's presented in bite size pieces and is not too overwhelming. He shows you lots of different ways to read a chart and to validate what you're reading, using a variety of techniques. Before even trading, I can already see how useful this will be, as it will help to prevent any risk trades. I 100% recommend this course. You will not regret the knowledge that you attain. Thank you so much for putting this together!

Good revision of my previous stock trading course. Nothing different with crypto, same indicators and strategies. Presentation could have been enhanced with a more prominent mouse pointer. With my poor eyesight I couldn't see where he was pointing on the charts. Otherwise the explanations were clear and the instructor well spoken. i recommend this course to beginning traders.

This course has been great . I'm a discretionary type day trading Forex trader who wants to get into trading crypto and need to know the differences between the two currencies with regards to trading. I did find out throughout the course that crypto trading has way more technical analysis than I use with Forex trading, so that feels like the largest difference between the two. The order placement is also more complex, but Dustin explained it all very clearly and with nice practical examples that made it easy to see. A great course, I'd recommend it to anyone who'd like to know about how to begin trading cryptocurrency.
