Fast-speed internet connection and a browser application are required for this course. For best experience, use Chrome.

There is no admission criterion. You are recommended to go through the prerequisites section and be aware of skill sets gained and required to learn most from the course.

We respect your time, and hence, we offer concise but effective short-term courses created under professional guidance. We try to offer the most value within the shortest time. There are a few courses on Quantra which are free of cost. Please check the price of the course before enrolling in it. Once a purchase is made, we offer complete course content. For paid courses, we follow a 'no refund' policy.

Some of the course material is downloadable such as Python notebooks with strategy codes. We also guide you how to use these codes on your own system to practice further.

We focus on teaching these quantitative and machine learning techniques and how learners can use them for developing their own strategies. You may or may not be able to directly use them in your own system. Please do note that we are not advising or offering any trading/investment services. The strategies are used for learning & understanding purposes and we don't take any responsibility for the performance or any profit or losses that using these techniques results in.

Quantra environment is a zero-installation solution to get beginners to start off with coding in Python. While learning you won't have to download or install anything! However, if you wish to later implement the learning on your system, you can definitely do that. All the notebooks in the Quantra portal are available for download at the end of each course and they can be run in the local system just the same as they run in the portal. The user can modify/tweak/rework all such code files as per his need. We encourage you to implement different concepts learnt from different learning tracks into your trading strategy to make it more suited to the real-world scenario.

No. We provide you guidance on how to create strategy using different techniques and indicators, but no strategy is plug and play. A lot of effort is required to backtest any strategy, after which we fine-tune the strategy parameters and see the performance on paper trading before we finally implement the live execution of trades.

Lifetime access means that once you enroll in the course, you will have unlimited access to all course materials, including videos, resources, readings, and other learning materials for as long as the course remains available online. There are no time limits or expiration dates on your access, allowing you to learn at your own pace and revisit the content whenever you need it, even after you've completed the course. It's important to note that "lifetime" refers to the lifetime of the course itself—if the platform or course is discontinued for any reason, we will inform you in advance. This will allow you enough time to download or access any course materials you need for future use.

There are plenty of price action tools which work in different market scenarios. The support and resistance levels tend to perform well when the prices seem to move in a sideways manner.

However, when the prices start moving in a specific direction, the use of trend-based strategies such as the Fibonacci retracements will surely help you fetch better results. On the other hand, you also have chart patterns that can be used to gauge whether the prices may reverse, or continue moving in the existing direction.

So to summarise, the best price action tool would be the one that compliments your personal trading style and helps you achieve your trading goals.

A major benefit of price action trading is that it can be used in any timeframe that suits you.

If you are a swing/positional trader, you can choose to analyse the price charts over longer timeframes such as the weekly or the daily.
On the other hand, if you are an intraday trader, you can always apply the detect patterns on higher frequency timeframes such as the hourly or 15-min.
But, it is important to note that the reliability of patterns and key levels tends to lose its significance as you move from longer to shorter timeframes.

Price action can fetch you profits but like anything other trading methodology, it will not be profitable all of the time. You need to be aware of the fact that certain price action tools work well under specific market conditions and perform worse under others.

For example, a strategy based on range trading by using the support and resistance levels will perform well as long as the prices are consolidating.

However, the same strategy could also lead to frequent losses if deployed during a strong trending phase.
