What is Trading?

Let’s cut through the noise—what is trading really all about?

In this lesson, we break it down in plain language: trading means making a profit from price movements by buying low and selling high (or selling high and buying back lower). It’s the art of spotting opportunity in a changing market—and acting at the right time.

What you’ll learn:

• The basic concept of trading, using everyday examples
• How trading works in financial markets (like crypto)
• The three main trading styles: intraday, swing, and long-term
• How to choose the style that fits your time, personality, and goals
• Why practicing in a risk-free environment is the smartest way to start

This lesson sets the foundation for everything that comes next—so you’re not just clicking buttons, but trading with purpose and confidence.
