# Step 5. Learn Trading Strategies

Once you have made your first trade on a demo account, explored the platform’s features, and set up your real account, it is time to learn about basic trading strategies. These strategies will help you build a solid foundation for creating your own trading system when working with a real account.

To develop a reliable trading system, it is important to understand the following aspects when analyzing trading methods:

* Trading level: the area where a price reversal or short-term retracement is expected.
* Trading pattern: a signal indicating a potential short-term change in price direction.

Once you grasp these two concepts, the next step is to execute your trade and manage it effectively (risk management).

Throughout trading history, a wide variety of trading methods have been developed for identifying levels and patterns for trade entries. However, we will focus on those methods that help you identify trading opportunities in real time using advanced volume analysis techniques available on the ATAS platform.
