Trading course online free of charge?

Is there one with everything arranged in days, eg:

Day 1: What is trading, the spread, where to sign up, spreadbetting, brokers
Day 2: Charts, trend lines, support and resistance
Day 3: Candlesticks and basic patterns
Day 4: Basic indicators
Day 5: Moving averages
Day 6: Discipline
Day 7: Money Management
etc

Getting a bit frustrated having to repeating myself to newbies only to see them lose money after I've warned them. You know who you are.

On second thoughts, I wonder if one of the admin could knock something together that just lists the order the beginner articles in this site should be read?

or better yet, let uneducated newbies keep flocking to the market providing us with a steady cash flow.



Oops, I hope I didn't say that out loud just now.

I"M HAVING TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE

Maybe.

Damn this spreadbetting. They're not putting the money in the marketplace.

Chaps,

There is one. It's been written for Forex but it still applies for Index trading as well (obviously)

School of Pipsology - - Beginner's Guide to Forex Trading, Free Forex Education, Learn to Trade Forex, Forex Training - BabyPips.com

There's an excellent part on 'Divergence Trading' which is all the newbies need to use really.......

Yeah, I considered the stuff at Babypips.com but I don't think it goes about it in the right order.

I keep plugging it so much I should be on royalties. But if every newbie read John Carter's Mastering The Trade then it would instantly kill a lot of these questions.
Then move on to the work of Elder, dbphoenix etc and .......job done.
What I came to realise (after my first spell of blowing an account as an unconstructed newbie) is that THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE !!!! and most of it is FREE !!!!!!! or very very cheap. Carter's book is what $30 ? versus a seminar by "I couldn't trade my way out of a paper bag so I'm going to rip off newbie dudes" for hundreds if not thousands of $
Carter (here we go again) even offers a FREE 5 minute webcast every day that is without doubt, the single best free education in the World bar none.
yet how many of the newbies, who come here asking about Fischer Transforms, Stochastic settings, blah blah, have ever signed up for the service ?

I suppose the problem is that there are so many books out there that the newbie isn't sure which one to get. And then you have a lot of sub-standard traders writing beginners books.

How about a collaboratory effort to write such a guide - we've got the Traderpedia which because of it's wiki format is perfect for everyone to help put something like this together.

ah i will have a think!
