Free Day Trading Academy

Learn day trading step by step with 27 interactive lessons covering stock scanners, RVOL, VWAP, chart patterns, and risk management.

• How to Read a Stock Scanner — Learn every column on the scanner — price, RVOL, float, change % — and how they combine to surface the best movers.
• Relative Volume (RVOL) — RVOL tells you how much unusual activity a stock is seeing right now versus its average. It is the #1 signal for day traders.
• Float & Short Interest — Low-float stocks move fast. High short interest can fuel squeezes. Understand why these two numbers matter for every trade.
• VWAP — The Day Trading Anchor — VWAP is the most important intraday level. Learn to use it as support, resistance, and a trend filter for your entries.
• Trading the Opening Gap — The gap-and-go is the highest-probability setup of the day. Master when to fade it and when to trade with it.
• Short Squeeze Setups — Identify short-squeeze candidates before the explosion. Combine float, short interest, and catalyst signals.
• MACD + RSI Together — Neither indicator is reliable alone. Learn the combined signal that confirms momentum entries with precision.
• Risk Management Basics — Position sizing, stop-loss placement, and the 1% rule. The foundation of staying in the game long-term.
• Bull Flag — The most reliable continuation pattern in momentum trading: a sharp pole, a tight pullback, then a breakout to new highs.
• Bear Flag — The mirror of the bull flag — a sharp drop, a weak relief bounce, then continuation lower. The go-to short continuation setup.
• Breakouts — How to trade a stock breaking out of a base or resistance — and how to tell a real breakout from a fakeout.
• Failed Breakouts — When a breakout fails it traps buyers and reverses hard. Learn to spot the trap and even trade the failure.
• Double Bottom — A reversal pattern where price tests a low twice and holds. The undercut-and-reclaim version is the highest-odds entry.
• ABCD Pattern — The classic momentum-day structure: an A-leg run, a B pullback, a C higher low, then the D-leg drive. A roadmap for the whole day.
• VWAP Bounce — Trading the first pullback into VWAP as support — one of the cleanest, most repeatable intraday long entries.
• VWAP Rejection — When a weak stock rallies back to VWAP and fails, it offers a high-odds short. The bearish mirror of the VWAP bounce.
• Support & Resistance — The foundation of all technical analysis: where price tends to stall, reverse, and flip roles. Learn to mark the levels that matter.
• MACD Cross — The MACD signal-line crossover and zero-line context — how momentum shifts show up before price confirms.
• RSI Divergence — When price makes a new high but RSI does not, momentum is fading. Learn to read divergence as an early reversal warning.
• Moving Average Pullback — Trending stocks pull back to a rising moving average and resume. Learn to ride the 9 and 20 EMA on momentum names.
• Trend Structure — Higher highs and higher lows define an uptrend. Learn to read market structure so you trade with the trend, not against it.
• Gap & Go — A stock gaps up on news and keeps running. Learn the premarket prep and opening-drive entry for the classic momentum play.
• Opening Range Breakout — Let the first few minutes set a range, then trade the break. A structured way to play the most volatile part of the day.
• Catalyst Pops — News drops and a stock pops. Learn to read the catalyst quality and decide instantly whether to fade it or ride it.
• Trading Halts — Volatility halts (LULD) interrupt fast movers. Learn how halts work and how to manage a position into and out of one.
• Parabolic Fade — When a stock goes vertical it eventually snaps back. Learn the high-risk, high-reward art of shorting the blow-off top.
• Red to Green — When a stock reclaims its prior close, trapped shorts and fresh buyers fuel a move. The red-to-green flip is a powerful trigger.
