If you’re new to trading, one of the first tools you’ll hear about is TradingView. It’s the charting platform almost everyone uses—from beginners learning their first candlestick to professionals running complex strategies. Most modern trading education, including the lessons you’ll see here, uses TradingView as the visual foundation for examples, screenshots, and demonstrations. Learning how to navigate it early will make everything that follows far more intuitive.
TradingView is a charting platform that lets you analyze price action for stocks, crypto, forex, and futures. The charts are fast, customizable, and packed with tools. You can draw trendlines, mark support and resistance, add indicators, and replay price history to practice your strategy. It also comes with a social component: traders publish ideas, scripts, and setups that you can study to understand how others approach the market.
The real strength of TradingView is how easy it is to use. You can drag stop loss levels, zoom in and out smoothly, switch timeframes instantly, and organize your charts into watchlists. Whether you’re learning breakouts, trailing stops, supply and demand zones, or anything in between, TradingView gives you the clean visual environment you need to see the concepts in action.
Because of that, every lesson in this series relies on TradingView for demonstrations. If you’re not comfortable with it yet, the examples might feel abstract or confusing. Once you understand the basics—drawing tools, candles, timeframes, chart settings, and how to enter simulated trades—the concepts will click much faster.
So before you go deeper into strategy, take a little time to learn the platform. Spend an afternoon exploring its tools, watching a few beginner tutorials, and practicing simple chart markup. The better you know TradingView, the more value you’ll get from every trading lesson that follows.
