iEconomy Academy
A sequenced curriculum for learning the market from zero. Five levels, each building on the last: first the vocabulary, then buying your first stock, then reading a company, then reading a chart, and finally the assets beyond stocks. Every lesson stands on its own; read in order, each one explains why the next exists.

Level 16 lessonsFoundations
The vocabulary of the market. What inflation and interest rates actually measure, why exchange rates move, what an index is and when the exchange is even open. Finish this level and the next four stop sounding like jargon.
- Inflation, CPI and purchasing power
- Compound interest
- Interest and central banks
- Currencies and exchange rates
- What a stock index is
- Market hours and holidays
Level 24 lessonsYour first stock
From opening an account to placing an order, and then the harder part: deciding what to buy. A repeatable framework beats a hot tip, and knowing which corners of the market to avoid matters as much as knowing what to pick.
- How to buy stocks
- Picking stocks: a framework
- Evaluating a stock before buying
- Penny stocks: an honest look
Level 34 lessonsReading a company
What the numbers on a company page mean. Valuation multiples, the dividend calendar, what earnings season actually reports, and how a fund packages hundreds of companies into one ticker.
Open level
Level 44 lessonsReading a chart
Price on a chart is a record of what buyers and sellers already did. This level covers what a candle encodes, why certain levels keep mattering, and what indicators can and cannot tell you.

Level 55 lessonsBeyond stocks
Stocks are one asset class among several. Gold, government debt, crypto and the arbitrage trades that connect markets each behave differently — and each fails differently, which is the part worth knowing first.
