Start with the market itself
What is being charted and where it trades — market types, the Indian exchanges, indices, and the difference between an investor’s horizon and a trader’s.
Free learning initiative
A free technical analysis crash course, from a blank chart to a read on it
A chart is a record of what buyers and sellers did. Jobaaj Learnings is making this crash course free for every student — candlesticks, trend, support and resistance, volume and indicators, and how traders build a view from them.
No payment step. Open the first lesson straight away.

What you'll learn
Read a chart the way a trader actually reads one
Technical analysis is not prediction. It is a way of describing what price and volume have already done, so that a decision has a reason behind it and a level to be wrong at.
Candlesticks, properly
Why we chart at all, the chart types available, and how to read a single candle — body, wicks, and what the open, high, low and close together tell you about a session.
Trend, support and resistance
Identifying an uptrend, downtrend or range, drawing levels that actually hold, and understanding why a level matters more the more times it is tested.
Indicators and volume
Technical indicators and what each one is measuring, plus volume analysis — the confirmation most beginners skip and most experienced traders will not trade without.
Price action and the terminal
Reading price without indicators, then executing: order types, bid and ask, the order book versus the trade book, and why bracket orders exist.
Where derivatives fit in
Futures and options essentials — intrinsic versus time value, moneyness and the option chain, and an introduction to Delta and Gamma for traders applying charts to options.
Why it's free
We built this to be learned from, not sold.
A lot of people who need a skill like this are exactly the people least able to pay for it — students between semesters, freshers before a first job, anyone rebuilding after a break. So we took the fee off.
01
The whole course, not a preview
Every lesson is open from the start. There's no locked second half and no upgrade waiting three modules in.
02
Free because it should be, not for a window
This isn't a promotional price or a trial. There's no clock on it and no fee arriving later.
03
Built to the same standard as the rest
Nothing was trimmed to make it free. It is the same material, at the same depth, as everything else we teach.
04
Yours to keep
Come back to a lesson next month or next year. Access doesn't expire and nothing gets pulled behind a paywall.
Where it takes you
Charts are the shared language of the trading floor
Most people learn this for their own trading. It is also assumed knowledge in dealing, advisory and market-facing research roles.
Informed self-directed trader
The most common reason people take this. Trade with a defined level and a defined risk rather than a hunch.
Technical Analyst
Produce chart-based views for a desk, a broker or a publication.
Equity Dealer
Execute client orders and read the tape in real time, where chart literacy is part of the job.
Research Associate
Support analysts with technical screening and setups alongside fundamental work.
Derivatives Trader
Apply the same reading to futures and options, where timing carries more weight.
Market Content Analyst
Write chart-led commentary for a broker, fintech or media outlet.

FAQ
Questions people ask before starting
Yes. Jobaaj Learnings provides it free of cost. There’s no fee to start, no trial period that ends, and no payment step anywhere in the flow.
None. The course starts from the very beginning and builds up from there, so you can begin with no prior experience in the subject.
Yes. Every lesson is recorded, so you can pause, rewind and come back whenever it fits around classes or work. There’s no schedule to keep up with.
No. Everything taught works on the free charting tools every Indian broker provides, and on free web platforms. Paid tools add speed and extra indicators, not different principles.
It helps but is not required — the course opens with market types, exchanges and indices before reaching any chart. If you want more ground on that first, the stock market basics crash course is also free.
No, and that’s deliberate. The course teaches method, not tips. Nothing in it is investment advice, and trading in the markets carries real risk of loss — including of your full capital.
Read a candlestick chart and describe what a session did, identify whether a stock is trending or ranging, draw support and resistance levels that hold, use indicators and volume as confirmation rather than signals on their own, and place an order with a defined stop.
