Learn what cryptocurrencies are, how they work, and how you can trade them for profit and fun. There will be an emphasis on safety, protecting against loss, and using technical analysis to plan trades. We will go through setting up accounts, conducting simple trend analysis, making small trades, and tracking and learning from real results. We will discuss the emotional mindset of trading, and how you can use the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets to your advantage. The plan is to have 3 weeks of training prior to making any trades, then we will plan and execute trades together, learning from real results and refining our strategy.

The class will work with a real $100 portfolio, and will collectively decide on $10 trades, but the lessons can be scaled up for any size portfolio. Outside of class you can have your own trading account with your own money, or you can just make virtual trades with an imaginary portfolio. All levels of experience are welcome, but the class assumes no prior trading experience.
