HaasOnline Academy is back — a free, structured education hub for crypto traders and bot builders. Three full courses, 139 glossary terms, 55 technical indicators, 15 candlestick patterns, and 17 in-depth topic articles, all rebuilt from the ground up and available right now.
The original Academy faded into the background while we focused on rebuilding the rest of the platform. It's been a long time coming, but we're glad to have it back — because building a profitable trading bot is hard enough without having to hunt down what an Ichimoku cloud is, or how a market-making strategy actually works, in twelve different browser tabs. Academy puts the fundamentals in one place, in the same house style as the rest of HaasOnline, with no login wall and no paid tier.
Three Courses to Get You Started
Courses are the spine of the new Academy — structured, multi-lesson paths designed to take you from "I just signed up" to "I'm running my first strategy" without skipping the parts that matter.
- TradeServer Cloud Essentials — 17 lessons walking through the platform itself: how to navigate, how the key features fit together, and how to set yourself up for productive bot building. Beginner-level. Start here if you're new to HaasOnline.
- Visual HaasScript Essentials — 4 lessons on building your first bot using the visual editor. Code-free, drag-and-connect strategy building for traders who'd rather think in blocks than scripts.
- HaasScript Fundamentals — 38 lessons on developing, debugging, and deploying projects in HaasScript, our scripting language built specifically for algorithmic trading. Intermediate-level. This is where you go once you've outgrown the visual editor.
Every lesson is self-contained, linkable, and free to read.
A Reference Library, Not Just Tutorials
Most trading education sites are tutorial-heavy and reference-light. Academy is built the other way around: alongside the courses, we've published three reference sections you'll come back to long after you've finished a course.
- Glossary — 139 terms covering everything from the basics (limit order, slippage, leverage) to the corners of crypto-native vocabulary (HODL, perpetual swap, funding rate). Alphabetical, searchable, linkable from anywhere on the site.
- Technical Indicators — 55 indicators explained in plain English: what they measure, how they're calculated, when they're useful, and how they're commonly combined. RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku, Stochastic, EMA, and many more.
- Candlestick Patterns — 15 patterns with clear visuals and bullish/bearish framing. Doji, Hammer, Engulfing, Head & Shoulders, Double Bottom — the building blocks of price-action reading.
Each entry is structured the same way, so once you've read a few, the rest take seconds to scan. Use it as a quick reference while you're configuring a bot or reviewing a chart.
Topic Articles for Going Deeper
For the questions that don't fit into a glossary entry or a lesson, the Articles section has 17 long-form pieces on strategy, risk management, and crypto market fundamentals. Topics range from how to read candlestick patterns in context to how different bot types behave in trending vs. ranging markets. New articles will be added over time.
