Our take

Based on the ratings of 64,739 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

Mohsen Hassan's course is a 9.5 hour introduction to stock trading, split into 41 lectures across eight sections. It starts with what a stock is, why a broker matters and how orders work, then moves into technical analysis, risk and money management, and trading psychology. About 297,000 students have taken it and it holds a 4.7 rating from 64,739 reviews. The listing says intermediates are welcome, but the content stays at the basics and needs no prior knowledge.

Reviewers mostly praise clear, detailed explanations and say it gives newcomers a sensible place to start. Roughly 58,700 of the ratings are four or five stars, while about 4,900 are three stars and about 1,200 are one or two. The complaints are consistent: some explanations wander, the material could be better organized, and a few people wanted more depth. One reviewer couldn't zoom in to see the bottom of the charts, and another was distracted by staff moving in the background.

The last update was May 2024, so the material is over two years old. Core ideas like order types and risk rules age slowly, but there are no quizzes or exercises, so practice has to happen elsewhere. As a first course before anything more advanced, it makes sense. Anyone who already reads charts will find it thin.

Best forComplete beginners who want one calm overview of charts, risk rules and trading psychology before opening a broker account.
Skip it ifYou want quizzes, exercises or deep strategy work. The course has none of those, and reviewers describe the content as basics.

Pros

  • Technical analysis gets the most time, about 3.9 hours on candlesticks, trends, support and volume
  • Separate sections on risk and money management and on trading psychology, topics many intro courses skip
  • Reviewers call Mohsen Hassan's explanations clear and the examples easy to follow
  • Starts from what a stock, broker and exchange are, so no background is needed

Cons

  • Some reviewers say lectures wander and the content could be better organized
  • Basics only: reviewers who wanted more content or depth found it thin
  • No quizzes, coding or practice exercises, and the last update was May 2024
It was a very good course for someone new to this environment. Would highly recommend as a starting point.
Andre Christoffel Van Der Nest, a student

Suits true beginners. The intermediate label is generous, since reviewers describe the lectures as basics and nothing is assumed.

Mohsen Hassan provides an excellent course. Both the practical examples and the provided resources greatly enhance the overall value of the program, making it an ideal choice for beginners

By Logan Cope on 2/1/2026

Incredible teaching. Distilled the information in a way I could easily understand. I am much more confident going into the charts after this course. He puts a strong emphasis on understanding, not memorizing which I love. 10/10 recommend. I will be taking the advanced class for sure.

By Paul Littlebear on 11/21/2020

So far it has been fair, good, detail-oriented. Covering all the basics as I go along. I gave 5 stars because I'm the type of person to get to the core, but I'm willing to side-step my anxiousness to learn a new skill.

By Brad Spears on 11/14/2020

Hands down the best course I've taken on Udemy! The instructor is super easy to listen to, has a very engaging type of teaching that keeps your interest. The use of charts he draws is so helpful as well. Loving this course!
