Concept
What is Chart Playback?
Chart Playback is not a course that teaches stock investing from the beginning. It is a practice tool for using learned knowledge and personal trading rules with historical charts, then reviewing your decisions.

Why use a practice tool?
Reading about stocks alone can make it hard to practice what to decide at a given point on a chart. Repeating decisions with historical charts can help you notice your habits and the situations where you tend to hesitate.
A practice cycle with Chart Playback
This is not a general roadmap for stock trading. It is the practice flow Chart Playback is designed to support: learn, consider a rule, repeat decision-making practice and review with historical charts, then take what you notice back into practice.

Closer to practice and post-game review in sports
A live situation alone can make it difficult to sort out why a decision worked or where it went wrong. Repeating decision-making practice and review with historical charts can make those patterns easier to examine.
