A trading course is only useful if it changes what you do at the screen. Most traders who have been active for a year already know what a trend is, what a stop loss is and why risk management matters. Their problem is that the knowledge has not become a repeatable process. This course is built for that stage.
We work from execution backwards: what you will trade, when you will trade it, how you will know the idea is wrong, and how much you will lose if it is. Theory appears only where it changes a decision. The course assumes you have seen a chart before and have probably made the common mistakes already.
- Level: Intermediate
- Format: Live online, with recordings for revision
- Best for: Traders with some live or paper experience who want to turn scattered knowledge into a defined, testable method.
Who this course is for
It suits people who have a broker account and a trading history they can examine, even a short one. It also suits traders who have changed strategies several times and want to understand why, and people preparing to increase their capital who want the risk framework in place first.
It is probably not the right fit if you have never placed an order or read a candlestick chart. Start with the beginner course or the core share market course; this programme will move too quickly and assume too much.
What you will be able to do afterwards
The syllabus is written as capabilities rather than topics. By the end of the programme, a learner who has done the work should be able to:
- Choose a timeframe and instrument set that matches the hours you can actually give
- Define a setup precisely enough that two people would identify it the same way
- Build a risk framework: risk per trade, daily loss limit and weekly review
- Recognise when a method has stopped working versus when you are in a normal drawdown
Course syllabus
The syllabus covers what an edge is, the three broad families of trading method, market structure, trade management, expectancy and the daily and weekly limits that keep a bad week from becoming a ruined account.
- What a trading edge is, and what it is not
- Trend following, mean reversion and breakout: when each works and fails
- Market structure: higher highs, lower lows, ranges and transitions
- Trade management: scaling, trailing and the cost of moving a stop
- Risk-reward, expectancy and win rate, and why they trade off
- Daily loss limits, position limits and circuit breakers for your own account
- Journalling, metrics and the monthly review
Defining a setup precisely enough to test it
A setup that cannot be described to another trader in a few sentences cannot be tested, and what cannot be tested cannot be improved. We take one setup at a time and write it as a rule: the context required, the trigger, the invalidation, the first target and the conditions under which the setup is skipped.
You then mark historical examples and count them, including the failures. This is not backtesting software; it is the simpler discipline of looking at fifty charts and recording what happened. Most learners find that the setup they believed was reliable occurs less often, and loses more often, than they assumed. That is useful information.
Expectancy, drawdown and the arithmetic of survival
Win rate on its own tells you very little. A method that wins eight times out of ten but loses more than it makes on the two losses can still lose money. Expectancy combines the win rate with the average win and average loss, and it is the number that decides whether a method is worth trading.
Drawdown is the other half of the story. A strategy with a good long-run expectancy can still produce a losing streak that is emotionally unbearable and financially dangerous at the wrong position size. You will calculate what a realistic drawdown looks like for your method and decide in advance how much capital you are willing to commit to it.
How the course is taught
Teaching is live, with chart work and trade reviews. You are encouraged to bring your own trades, anonymised if you prefer, because the feedback is more useful when it is about your decisions rather than a textbook example. Recordings are available for revision.
The course does not supply signals, and no part of it should be read as a recommendation to buy or sell a particular instrument. It teaches a process you apply to your own decisions.
- Live sessions on a shared screen, using current NSE and BSE charts rather than static screenshots.
- Time for questions in every session, with doubts answered in plain language.
- Session recordings and revision notes, so a missed evening does not break the sequence.
- Exercises that ask you to mark a chart, size a position or explain a decision before you risk money on it.
Duration, fees and batch timings
We do not publish a fixed fee or a fixed calendar because both depend on the course and the batch you join. Contact us on WhatsApp for the latest course fees, available batches and complete course details.
When you enquire, ask for the session length, the number of sessions, the batch days and what happens if you miss a class. A provider should be able to answer all four before you pay.
Course completion and certificate
Learners who complete the programme receive a course completion record from Share Market Training. It confirms the training you attended and the topics covered. It is not a SEBI registration, a licence to advise others, or a guarantee of trading results, and it should never be presented as any of those things.
Completion means you attended the sessions and did the exercises. It does not mean you have passed a test of profitability, because no course can certify that.
What this course does not do
It does not give stock tips, model portfolios, buy or sell recommendations, or a signal service. It does not promise a return, a monthly income or a fixed number of profitable trades. It does not replace your own judgement or remove market risk.
Trading and investing involve risk, including the loss of the capital you commit. Position sizing and stop placement are taught precisely because outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
A sensible next step
If you already have a method, bring a month of your journal to the first conversation. We can tell you quickly whether the course is the right next step or whether you need the advanced programme, which works more deeply on an existing record.
