DojiLab Education

Learn technical analysis from zero

DojiLab Education is an eleven-level course written for readers starting technical analysis from zero. It opens at the actual beginning — when a number counts as a price — then works through what a chart is, candle anatomy, the definition of a trend, support and resistance areas, volume, moving averages, momentum oscillators, continuation and reversal patterns, Fibonacci retracements and risk literacy. All forty-two lessons sit on these pages and can be read without an account. Each lesson teaches one idea: what it is, how it looks on a chart, and — just as importantly — what it does not say. Nothing here tells a reader what to do; it teaches chart reading, thinking in probabilities, and naming the level at which a scenario stops being valid. Every word was written by a person, for information only.

The levels

  1. Level 0Price, market and the recordBy the end of this level you can say when a number is a price and when it is not, and explain why prices are written down in order.
  2. Level 1Anatomy of a candleBy the end of this chapter you can read a candle's four prices, say what the body and the wick tell you — and what colour and shape do NOT — and see the same day at two scales.
  3. Level 2The concept of trend and trendlinesBy the end of this level you can mark the peaks and troughs yourself and say whether a market is trending up, trending down, or moving sideways.
  4. Level 3Support and resistanceBy the end of this level you can find and name the areas where price reacts again and again, and you will know how to question whether a breakout is genuine or false.
  5. Level 4VolumeBy the end of this level you can read from the volume bars whether real participation stands behind a price move.
  6. Level 5Moving averagesBy the end of this level you will know how a moving average is calculated, how it summarises a trend, and why it always arrives late.
  7. Level 6Momentum oscillators: RSI and MACDBy the end of this level you will know what RSI and MACD actually measure, what a divergence tells you, and how these tools mislead in trending markets.
  8. Level 7Continuation patternsBy the end of this level you can recognise the pauses where a trend consolidates — flags, pennants, triangles, rectangles — and read their breakouts together with volume.
  9. Level 8Reversal patternsBy the end of this level you can recognise the marks of a tiring trend — double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders — and you will have internalised that a pattern only exists once it completes.
  10. Level 9Fibonacci and measured targetsBy the end of this level you can map pullbacks with Fibonacci levels, compute measured targets from patterns, and you will know why every target is a scenario rather than a destination.
  11. Level 10Risk literacy and plan disciplineBy the end of this level you can think about risk in the language of probability, define where a scenario breaks down, and name the parts of a trading plan — this is a literacy lesson, not a strategy lesson.
