This was just what I needed! It really pulled together some core investment ideas that other materials have been dancing around.

For me, it is not a good match, I find it very flat, I think if I read a book, I would have gotten as much out of it, but, I’m still doing the course.

Class started slowly but sections 9 and 10 offered great analysis. I now feel the class was well worth it and look forward to taking more from Udemy.

Luca is a gifted teacher. If you are after some great teaching on trading and support (especially swing trading) you are in the right place.

Luca explains things straightforwardly and concisely but the back-end of the course has a few too many advertisements and there is hardly any assessment included.

The material (pages to download) makes things in order. Luca explains in simple language and the presentations are easy to understand. Worth your money - for beginers.

I absolutely loved this course. Luca teaches this course very well; he explains everything in a concise, clear, and informative manner. I appreciated the list of ETF's that were given for the various sectors and countries and the free platform suggestions for picking stocks within certain criteria. These free resources themselves make the course worth taking; they encourage one to explore the various options out there and start trading right away. Overall, the course is extremely informative, educational, and worth taking. Luca, keep up the great work and thanks for teaching so well!

If you are looking for a trading primer, look no further, worth every penny and every minute invested in the course.

I was not aware of the detail that Japanese Candlesticks offered as an analysis tool. I have learned a lot from Luca and like the pace of the course. It was not hard to keep up with. I am only paper trading for now but will feel more confident when I get to a level where I use real money to build some retirement income. I will probably look into more classes from Luca Moschini

After taking the initial intro course, i decided to follow up my learning with this one and was not disappointed. As this is a global class, I would I have loved to see examples from other Markets e.g. Europe (especially the LSE). All in All a good learning. Thanks

I really liked the style of the instructor, he has good energy and the pace was nice and steady. He broke down the subjects in logical order and gave just enough detail without being overly intensive. My suggestions for future additions would be: Please give a lesson on support and resistance line. And a lesson on moving averages. You demonstrate these things when selecting stocks but don't describe them. Could you also give a lesson of order of priority when you select a stock e.g. 1st see which sector of the market is going up, 2nd select which section of that sector, screen stocks in that selector - screening priority; which support lines matter most, do things like MACD matter more than support support and resistance lines - How does Mr Moschini evaluate these things against each other and in what order? I purchased all the other courses in the series and look forward to seeing more.

Very good course for the beginning investor. Gives good introduction and overview of trading strategies, stock selection criteria, and use of scanners. Instructor is engaging and has talent for making difficult concepts seem basic and easy to understand for the novice investor. Production quality was very good.
