Which set ups beginner should focus on? Should he take just one or couple?
Hi Kajetan,
Good question. If you study what Al says about beginners, yes, you should focus on perfecting your skills with a handful of setups. In particular, focus initially on at least pullbacks in trends (H1/2, L1/2) and Major Trend Reversals. These will give you more than enough trades on most days but you do have to be patient and wait - for swing trades, not scalps.
Al would add Wedges to pullbacks. Study his Bonus Video #06 "3 Patterns Every Trader and Investor Should Know" for more on that.
Moving on when comfortable you could look at Trading Range reversal trades for days when a trend is not happening, and breakouts. These trades need a little more emotional control but can work very well for you.
Here's a good Ask Al post on the topic of beginner trades. Use the site search for similar Ask Als:

Hope that helps.
The videos on the market cycle, channels, signal bars, and measured moves are a great place to start. In my opinion, those concepts along with an in depth understanding of position sizing, could make up a complete trading system.
