New to markets?
Start with the basics.
Markets can look complicated because they contain
prices, percentages, charts, news, and thousands of assets.
You do not need to understand everything at once.
Start by learning what the numbers mean and how to think about risk.
01 · PRICE
What is a market price?
A market price is the value at which an asset is currently
being quoted or traded through a particular market or data source.
Prices can change continuously as buyers and sellers react
to new information.
-
Price alone does not tell you whether an asset is cheap or expensive.
-
Different data sources can update at different speeds.
-
Always pay attention to the timestamp of market data.
02 · MOVEMENT
What does a percentage change mean?
Percentage change helps compare movement across assets
with very different prices. A $5 move means something very
different for a $20 asset than for a $1,000 asset.
-
Positive percentage = price increased over the measured period.
-
Negative percentage = price decreased.
-
Always check which period is being measured.
03 · RISK
Movement is not the same as opportunity.
A large move can attract attention, but it does not automatically
mean an asset should be bought or sold. Markets can move because
of news, liquidity, expectations, uncertainty, or temporary reactions.
-
Bigger movement often means greater uncertainty.
-
Past movement does not guarantee future movement.
-
Risk should be evaluated before action.
04 · MARKET PULSE
How to read Equairo's bubbles.
Market Pulse is designed to make market movement easier to see.
The bubbles are a visual starting point for exploration,
not a recommendation system.
-
Bubble size represents movement magnitude.
-
Color represents movement direction.
-
“View by” changes the information displayed, not the underlying movement.
05 · EVIDENCE
A headline is not enough.
Markets react to expectations as well as facts.
Before reaching a conclusion, it is useful to ask
what actually happened, what was expected, and what evidence
supports the story.
-
Separate facts from interpretation.
-
Check the source.
-
Look for evidence that could prove the idea wrong.
06 · DISCIPLINE
You do not need to act on every move.
One of the most important market skills is knowing when
information is incomplete. Doing nothing can be a valid decision
when evidence is weak or risk is unclear.
-
Curiosity is useful. Urgency is not always useful.
-
Avoid treating uncertainty as certainty.
-
Learn first, then evaluate.
