Speed Funded Chart School
Learn technical analysis without the boring theory
A chart is more than a collection of red and green candles. It is a record of decisions: where buyers became aggressive, where sellers took control, where momentum accelerated and where conviction disappeared.
Speed Funded Chart School is a free, visual introduction to reading that record. Across 24 concise lessons in four connected modules, you will learn how to interpret price action, identify the market’s current condition and turn an observation into a structured trading idea.
No secret formula. No guaranteed setup. No indicator overload. Just a practical framework for asking better questions before you trade.
What you will be able to do
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Read the basic information contained in a candlestick.
- Choose a timeframe that matches the decision you are making.
- Distinguish between an uptrend, downtrend and range.
- Mark support and resistance as zones rather than imaginary perfect prices.
- Evaluate whether a breakout has supporting evidence or warning signs.
- Understand what EMA, RSI and ATR can—and cannot—tell you.
- Build a technical trade plan with a clear premise and invalidation point.
Technical analysis does not predict the future with certainty. Its purpose is to organise market information and help you make decisions under uncertainty.
The course
Module 1
Technical Analysis Foundations
Lessons 1–6
What Is the Chart Actually Telling You?
Learn how candlestick charts work, what candle bodies and wicks reveal, and how to choose a useful trading timeframe without losing context.
Is the Market Trending or Going Nowhere?
Learn how to identify swing highs and lows, distinguish trends from ranges, and recognise meaningful changes in market structure.
Where Is Price Most Likely to React?
Learn how to identify support and resistance zones, assess the quality of a price level and avoid cluttering your trading chart with weak lines.
Breakout or Trap?
Learn how trading breakouts develop, what a pullback or retest can reveal, and how to recognise warning signs of a potential false breakout.
Which Indicators Are Actually Useful?
Understand how EMA, RSI and ATR work, what each indicator measures and how to avoid indicator overload when analysing a trading chart.
Turn Your Analysis Into a Trade Plan
Build a technical trading plan using market condition, location, confirmation, invalidation and review—without pretending any setup is certain.
Module 2 · Continuation
Applied Technical Analysis
Lessons 7–12 build on the Module 1 framework.
Are You Drawing Trendlines—or Forcing Them?
Learn how to draw useful trendlines and channels, judge their quality and understand what a trendline break does—and does not—mean.
Are You Seeing a Pattern—or Just Seeing What You Want?
Learn how triangles, flags, double tops and head-and-shoulders patterns reflect market structure—and why every pattern needs confirmation.
Does Price Really Respect Fibonacci Levels?
Learn what Fibonacci retracement levels mean, how to anchor the tool consistently and why confluence matters more than any isolated ratio.
Is Volume Confirming the Move—or Warning You?
Learn how volume can confirm participation, identify expansion and exhaustion, and why forex and CFD volume data requires special care.
Which Timeframe Should You Actually Trust?
Learn how to combine higher and lower trading timeframes, separate context from execution and avoid analysis paralysis across too many charts.
Does Your Setup Work—or Do You Only Remember the Winners?
Learn how to turn a technical setup into testable rules, record a useful sample, calculate expectancy and avoid common backtesting biases.
Module 3
Strategy Development
Lessons 13–18
Do You Have a Strategy—or Just a Collection of Setups?
Learn how to turn technical analysis into a complete trading strategy with defined conditions, setup rules, entries, exits and no-trade criteria.
Should You Enter Early or Wait for Confirmation?
Compare confirmation, pullback and limit-entry models while learning how market, limit and stop orders affect price certainty and execution.
Where Is Your Trade Idea Actually Wrong?
Learn how to place stop-loss levels around structural invalidation, account for volatility and avoid widening risk when a trade idea fails.
How Will You Exit Before Emotion Decides for You?
Compare fixed targets, structural exits, trailing stops, partial profits and time exits while learning how each method changes a strategy’s results.
How Much Should You Risk When the Setup Looks Perfect?
Learn how to calculate position size from stop distance, control total exposure, account for correlated trades and understand drawdown recovery.
Can You Execute the Same Strategy Tomorrow?
Combine setups, entry rules, risk limits, management, checklists and review routines into a trading playbook that can be executed consistently.
Module 4
Evaluation Performance
Lessons 19–24
Do You Know the Rules—or Only the Profit Target?
Learn how to translate current trading evaluation rules into clear operating limits without relying on assumptions or outdated figures.
Why Does Good Analysis Collapse Under Pressure?
Recognise FOMO, revenge trading and outcome bias, then use practical decision rules to protect disciplined execution during an evaluation.
What Should a Disciplined Evaluation Day Look Like?
Build a repeatable pre-session, execution and review routine that keeps every evaluation day aligned with current rules and your playbook.
What Should You Do When Drawdown Begins?
Learn how to measure drawdown, diagnose losing streaks and follow a prewritten response without trying to force an immediate recovery.
Are You Measuring Performance—or Only P&L?
Measure expectancy, drawdown, execution quality and consistency so you can separate strategy outcomes from process errors and noise.
Can You Operate the Plan From Day One to Completion?
Combine technical analysis, strategy rules, evaluation limits, daily routines and performance review into one complete trading operating plan.
How to use Chart School
Move through the lessons in order the first time. Each lesson builds on language introduced in the previous one. When a chart challenge appears, decide what you see before revealing the explanation. The objective is not to guess perfectly; it is to practise observing evidence before reading someone else’s conclusion.
You do not need to create an account to read the course. If progress saving is enabled, it must be optional. The final knowledge check and downloadable completion summary may require a free Speed Funded account.
Observe first
Describe the chart before forming an opinion.
Think in probabilities
A setup can be logical and still fail.
Review the process
Judge whether you followed the plan, not only whether a trade won.
Technical analysis in one sentence
Technical analysis is the structured study of price, market behaviour and related data in an attempt to understand current conditions and develop probabilistic scenarios.
It is not a promise that a pattern will repeat. Two analysts can examine the same chart and reach different conclusions because they use different timeframes, definitions and risk tolerances. A useful process makes those assumptions visible.
