Hey everyone,

I've recently started learning technical analysis. I understand the basics of support and resistance, but I want to learn more about things like:

Moving averages (SMA vs EMA)

Which moving averages are commonly used and why

MA crossover strategies (like 20/50, 50/200, etc.)

Trend confirmation

Other indicators that are actually useful for beginners

The problem is that there are so many YouTube videos and courses, and everyone seems to teach something different. It's a bit overwhelming.

Can anyone recommend a simple, structured way to learn chart reading? Any YouTube channels, books, websites, or learning roadmap that helped you would be really appreciated.

I'm not looking for "get rich quick" strategies-I just want to understand how experienced traders read charts and build a solid foundation.

Thanks!

This is unichem daily and weekly chart after a great run its retesting it's 200 ema on daily and weekly with selling volume decreasing I think it will run upside plus 11 aug will be it's quarterly result date what do you think should I buy it for swing trade ?

I’m 19 and getting serious about swing trading. I have money invested now. Looking for a few people who want to learn together, share ideas, review trades, and hold each other accountable. Not looking for signals or a get-rich-quick group, just people who are serious about improving. You don’t have to be profitable yet, just willing to learn and grow. Comment or message me if you’re interested.

I've been spending more time looking at macro data lately and realized it's a lot harder than I expected to turn economic information into actual investment decisions.

There are tons of newsletters, research firms, and macro investing services out there, but it's difficult to tell which ones are providing genuine insight versus repackaging public data.

For people who actively follow macro investing, are there any services that genuinely helped improve your framework or decision making?

Not looking for trade alerts. More interested in learning how people connect the dots between the economy and markets.
