Module 0: Start here
Three short lectures before the course proper: who it is for and the order it runs in, one NVIDIA trade followed from entry to exit in the Mochatrade terminal, and a four-question routine for reading US market news. A five-question quiz on futures, options, margin and expiry closes the module.
