Trading means buying or selling a market with the goal of benefiting from a price move. Prices can move against you. A buy/long position benefits if price rises; a sell/short position benefits if price falls. Both can lose money.
Markets include currencies (forex), gold, stock indices and futures. Each has different trading hours, pricing and risks.
Open Trading Foundations →Use the CRC Genesis registration link below. If Genesis offers demo accounts for your region and platform, choose Demo / Practice and virtual funds, not a live funded account.
CRC referral link; CRC may earn compensation. Demo availability, platform and setup screens are not independently verified. If demo is unavailable, use the site's built-in practice tools instead. Disclosures.
A candlestick shows four prices during a timeframe: open, high, low and close. A green/up candle generally closes above its open; a red/down candle below. A 1-minute candle covers one minute.
Learn trend direction, higher highs/lows, support and resistance, then CRC's 13 / 50 / 200 EMA framework. An EMA is a moving average that weights recent prices more heavily.
Learn the EMA framework →Never guess at lot sizes or leverage. Contract values and minimum order sizes vary by market and broker.
Open risk calculator →The CRC practice tool teaches decision-making; it does not place brokerage orders or replicate the Genesis interface.
Practice recognizing a trend, waiting for a pullback and confirmation, setting a stop, and recording why you entered. Review losing trades as carefully as winners. Practice consistently before even considering live funds.
Use CRC's trade journal and lessons. There is no required deposit, promised return or fixed number of practice trades that makes live trading safe.
Tap any term to reveal its meaning.
Trading one currency against another, such as EUR/USD.
A measure of a group of stocks, such as the Nasdaq-100 or Dow Jones Industrial Average. Index-linked products differ.
A chart bar showing open, high, low and close for a chosen period.
Units of price movement. Their monetary value depends on the instrument and trade size.
A unit used to size a trade. Its value varies across products.
The difference between the quoted buying and selling prices, a potential trading cost.
Using a relatively small amount of margin to control larger exposure. It magnifies losses as well as gains.
Funds required to open or maintain a leveraged position; it is not the maximum amount you can lose.
An order intended to exit at a loss threshold. Execution can differ from the requested price.
An order or target to close a position when a favorable price is reached.
Compare potential gain to planned loss. If risking $5 to aim for $10, the target is 2R before costs.
A simulated trading account using virtual funds. Demo results don't predict live outcomes.
Which account should a complete beginner use first to practice without risking deposited money?
Mark each step as you finish. Checklist progress is stored only in this browser. CRC's course modules and other interactive tools remain available below.
Follow one instruction at a time. No experience or deposit required.
Instructions may vary with app updates. Download only from official sources. Practice on demo before considering live trading.
Step through illustrated one-minute candle examples to see the EMA trend filter, confirmed pullback, entry, protective stop, and 2R / 3R exits. These are teaching examples, not historical trades or live signals.
The example pauses at each stage so students can inspect the chart. Candle closes—not wick touches—determine the 13 EMA pullback and re-entry confirmation. Stops and target lines are illustrative.

CRC CONCEPTS · COMPLETE BEGINNER FIELD GUIDE
This step-by-step companion takes you from installing a charting app to placing and reviewing a demo trade. Work through each chapter in order. All price drawings below are illustrative, not real-time signals.
TradingView is where you select symbols, switch between 1-minute and 5-minute candles, and configure indicators.
A demo trading account on your chosen execution platform (for example TradeLocker, if supported) is where you practice orders, stops and closing positions.
Keep an economic calendar, a trade journal, screenshots, and a position-size calculator. Always verify the instrument's contract value.
EMA 13: blue · ON
EMA 50: red · ON
EMA 200: white · ON
All other EMA plots in the supplied screenshots are OFF. Keep “Labels on price scale” and “Values in status line” ON; precision is Default.
Screenshot 1: “EMAS 200/50/6/3” with EMA50 enabled, EMA200/EMA9/EMA18 disabled. Screenshot 2: “EMAs 8, 13, 21, 55, 100, 200” with EMA13 and EMA200 enabled, other plots disabled. The screenshots do not show the authors or complete Inputs, so check each script's actual EMA lengths and source.
If you cannot locate the exact community scripts, use three built-in Exponential Moving Average indicators set to lengths 13, 50 and 200 with the same colors. Free-plan indicator limits and menus can vary.
1R is the dollar amount you planned to lose if the original stop is hit, not a fixed number of points. Example: $10 planned risk means +2R is +$20 on a full-size position before costs.
A half position closed at 2R and a half at 3R yields 2.5R gross if both targets fill. Real execution may differ.
Switch between the two entry timeframes and use the steps to study a schematic bullish EMA pullback. This is not a live price chart.
Step 1: Identify bullish trend context.
When does a 13 EMA reclaim count as confirmed in the example?

Educational material only. This academy does not promise trading results. Trading leveraged products carries substantial risk, including loss of capital. Practice on demo and understand your broker's rules before considering live trading.
Start with chart basics, match the exact visible indicator setup, learn the order ticket, then prove your understanding on simulated trades. CRC entries are demonstrated on both 1-minute and 5-minute charts. The practice prices are synthetic, not live market quotes.
This lab supplements the 12 main academy modules and other practice tools above.
TradingView: charts and indicators. TradeLocker: an example execution interface, where available through a supported broker. A demo account: simulated orders. An economic calendar: scheduled news. A journal: review and improvement.
You do not need to deposit money to learn the charting steps. Confirm any broker is permitted in your jurisdiction and understand its fees and account terms.
One candle summarizes open, high, low and close for a chosen timeframe. Its body shows open-to-close; wicks show the extremes.
On 1m, each completed candle represents one minute; on 5m, each completed candle represents five minutes. Changing timeframe changes the signals.
An exponential moving average weights recent prices more heavily. The 13 reacts faster than the 50; the 200 provides slower trend context.
A long position benefits when price rises; a short benefits when price falls. Both can lose money.
Spread is the difference between buy and sell quotes. Slippage is execution at a different price than expected, especially around volatile news.
Price-movement units and order-size conventions vary by instrument and provider. Never assume the same dollar value for 1 point or 1 lot everywhere.
Margin is collateral for a leveraged position. Leverage increases exposure and can amplify losses. A small margin requirement is not a measure of safe risk.
A stop is an exit instruction intended to limit losses, but its fill can differ in fast markets. A take-profit order aims to exit at a target.
1R is the initial planned risk. 2R is twice that risk in potential profit. Drawdown is the decline from a previous equity or balance peak.
These are the two reference screenshots provided by CRC. The screenshots verify visible Style toggles and colors, not the scripts' authors or every value under Inputs. If a matching community script cannot be found, use three built-in EMAs with lengths 13, 50, and 200 and source set to Close.
Reference image A — compare the enabled plots, labels, and color.
Reference image B — compare the enabled plots, labels, and color.
Exact button positions change across TradingView versions and mobile operating systems; look for the named controls rather than assuming fixed screen coordinates.
Check all five items once your own chart matches.
More signals may occur on 1m, but noise, transaction costs and false breakouts can be greater.
A 5m stop may be wider, which can require a smaller position. The site does not assume a 1m signal automatically validates a 5m entry.
Choose a timeframe and a scenario. The chart is illustrative. Decide whether a confirmed entry exists after the last candle finishes.
TradeLocker controls and broker permissions can differ. Practice without depositing funds first.
Enter the dollar value of a one-unit price move per 1 lot/contract from your actual broker specifications. This value cannot be safely guessed from the symbol alone.
Formula: risk dollars ÷ (absolute entry-to-stop distance × dollar value per price unit per lot). Quantity is rounded DOWN to the provided size increment. If below the broker minimum, skip the trade.

Record: date/time, instrument, timeframe, screenshot, reason for entry, entry/stop/targets, risk in dollars, outcome in R, execution costs, and one lesson learned. Use the trade journal tool above to track results.
Answer all ten questions. You need at least 9/10 to pass this knowledge check. Passing means you understand the lesson concepts, not that you are ready to trade real money.
The indicator screenshots are genuine user-provided references, but the underlying Pine scripts and all Inputs are not shown. This website cannot verify that an unknown script matches your settings exactly. Screenshots of every TradeLocker screen and platform-specific tap sequence would require current captures from the relevant app version. This guide provides the steps and real indicator references without inventing interface screenshots.
Markets are risky. No entry pattern, indicator, or assessment guarantees profit. This academy is educational, not personalized investment advice. Check broker regulation and costs independently.
Yes. The lessons, simulated tools and assessments on this website are free to access. A separate broker registration is not required to use them.
No. Start with the learning material and simulated exercises. Only consider a live account after you understand the risks and have checked a broker's terms.
CRC teaches a 13, 50 and 200 EMA framework with trend context, pullbacks, completed-candle confirmation and predefined risk on 1-minute and 5-minute charts. Examples are educational, not trading signals.
No. Trading can cause substantial losses. A completed quiz or practice challenge is not proof of profitability or readiness for live trading.
No. Genesis is an optional referral partner. You can study the full academy without signing up, and should independently compare broker suitability, fees, regulation and demo access.
