I have been with point

    I have been with point break trades over a year now.  However, I have not progressed in my knowledge of what is going on.  I have attempted to watch the educational videos (on many of them the audio does not seem to work) however they seemed to start at a level of knowledge I do not have including how to read the charts that are presented in the nightly news letter.  I am frustrated with my inability to pickup on concepts that are presented.  I have done many of the SPY trades however I have done none of the daily trades.  I do not understand much of the terminology that is discussed but would like to.  Am I missing some additional education available on the website or is there an assumption that people who sign up for point break trades are more experienced than I.  I want to understand all of the nightly newsletters that are presented.  If there are other learning resources available that you would recommend please let me know.

    @tmbrook1  Gotta start by getting the name right at least..  ;) 

    Even the basics take a long time to get up to speed with. And it's seeing things over and over and over until the patterns start to make sense. Gotta watch and listen... A LOT.  I would recommend going through Stockcharts.comand utilizing their vast resources. Excellent place to start is Chart School: https://school.stockcharts.com/doku.php  I reference it often. Also, follow the blogs on there. And keep in mind that right now trading is particularly frenzied. Many people haven't traded at these quick timeframes before so we are all learning on the fly. Stick with it!

    Let me know after hours in terms of what you're not grasping - hard to discuss this during trading hours.  I would say that the vast majority here have more experience.
