I’m assuming you mean how to acquire “this foundational knowledge of market movements”? If I misunderstood, please let me know.
IMO, the minimum skills a discretionary trader needs to learn is:
- being able to assess and rank setups / potential opportunities, i.e. what does an A+ set up look like vs an average C set up vs a high risk setup that should be avoided
- assess market conditions
When I was lacking these skills, I would blame losses on a faulty strategy and look for another strategy. In reality, I lost because I was trading “blindly” by taking risky / sub-optimal setups and/or trading in unsuitable market conditions.
So I would recommend starting there.
