Academy in the left menu is seventeen free lessons on how the market works — and it is a different thing from this guide, which is worth being clear about before you open either.
- This guide
- How this app works. Where a button is, what a column means, what happens when you click. Useful while you are looking at the app, and only then.
- The Academy
- How the market works. What you actually own when you buy a share, how much to buy, what each chart indicator claims and what the evidence behind it supports. It would still be true if this app did not exist.
Four chapters, in the order to read them
They are numbered Chapter 1–4 on the Academy page and in every lesson’s breadcrumb — what you are buying first, how not to lose it second, then reading a chart, then reading a company — so “where am I in this course” always has an answer.
- Getting started
- What a share is, reading a candle, what an ETF actually is, and what a stop loss does and does not protect you from.
- Not losing money
- What the evidence says about picking shares, how much to buy, where the money quietly goes, and how to recognise a pump. This is the track most platforms do not write, because “you will probably trail an index fund” is not a lesson that sells anything.
- Reading a chart
- What technical analysis claims, what it is genuinely good for, and one lesson each for moving averages, RSI, MACD and Bollinger Bands.
- Reading a company
- Revenue against profit, what P/E hides, and how to read an earnings report without being led by the headline.
Every lesson has the same four parts What it is · how to read it · what it does not tell you · where to see it in the app. The third one is why these are worth reading. An indicator that tells you what it cannot do is worth five that just draw a line, and the same is true of a lesson.
Every lesson opens with the lesson on one card — a small drawing of the idea, the one-line thesis, and the three things worth remembering a week later. Read it going in; read it again a week later to see what stuck.
Two things to know
The lessons are public. Unlike this guide, which needs an account, every Academy lesson is readable by anyone at signibull.com/academy — so you can send one to somebody who has not joined, and the link will work.
Videos are coming, and the text is complete without them. Each lesson reserves the space a short film will occupy, so the page you read today is laid out the way it will be when they arrive and nothing moves under you. They will be built from our own charts with real market data rather than from stock footage, which is why they are taking a while.
Nothing in the Academy is investment advice, and none of it recommends buying or selling anything. It is written here and checked against primary sources — the SPIVA scorecards, the SEC's and FINRA's investor education material, and the original papers that defined the indicators. Nothing is copied from anyone else's academy.
