Who it's for
Complete beginners
No prior knowledge needed. The first lesson starts with "what is a stock", and terms are explained right in the text.
Halal investors
How a stock passes a halal screen, the AAOIFI ratios, purifying dividends, and staying away from CFDs and scams.
Traders who want a system
Chart patterns, Fibonacci, divergence, position size and R:R — with entry, stop and target, on examples.
What every lesson has
Clear text and charts
Each lesson takes 11–13 minutes. Patterns and levels are drawn on schematic charts.
A quiz
A 3–8 question quiz at the end, with an explanation for every answer. 60% passes — you can retake it.
A practical task
You do what you learned in the app itself: draw a level on a chart, place a demo trade, log a trade or sketch on the whiteboard.
A glossary
Terms like R:R, VWAP, riba and purification are explained inside the lesson — all of them are in the open glossary too.
