0.1 US Markets for Indian Traders: Start Here
Who the course is for, what it covers, and why the lessons run in the order they do.
About this lecture
Already familiar with Indian markets? Start here to understand the MochaLearn course on US markets and real-world assets.
In this opening lecture, Pratham explains who the course is for, what you'll learn, and why the lessons follow a specific order: understand the market, understand the asset, then understand the instrument and the risks of a position.
The course roadmap:
- US market structure and the macroeconomic forces that move it
- Gold, silver, oil, government debt and other real-world assets
- Trading instruments and their mechanics
- Taxes and regulations
- Risk management and position sizing
- An end-to-end testnet trade
We also cover how the course works, where you can stop based on your learning goals, and the basics you should already know: futures, option chains, margin and expiry.
Educational content only. Not investment advice.
Key takeaways
- The course runs market, then asset, then instrument, then the risks of a position, in that order, because each layer only makes sense on top of the last.
- Six modules follow this one: US market structure, real-world assets, trading instruments, taxes and regulations, risk management and position sizing, and one testnet trade from start to finish.
- You can stop at the module that matches what you came for.
- It assumes you already know futures, option chains, margin and expiry from the Indian market.
