Course Description
Learn the techniques a full-time Professional Trader uses every day for Swing Trading and Day Trading. Analyzing daily charts and weekly charts is important when Swing Trading. To be a successful Day Trader, it is imperative to know how to quickly and correctly read stock charts.
These 50 video lessons, that total up to 8.5 hours of playtime, will teach you all about stock charts and the many Technical Indicators you can load onto them. The most common and useful indicators will be covered first, and after the 15th lecture, Stock Chart Setup #1 is presented, which is something you can start to use in your trading right away!
Each lesson begins with a brief explanation of each Technical Indicator. The majority of each 10 minute lesson is spent showing you exactly how an experienced trader uses them. Every video shows numerous chart examples of each indicator in Action.
The final lesson on "Multicollinearity" - or - "There are SO many indicators! Which ones do I USE?", explains how indicators are grouped, and how to avoid a common problem chartists have, by using too many of the same types of indicators on their charts. This lesson will show you how to choose your favorites from each category to get best results.
Questions from students will be answered promptly, and Live Sessions will be planned for one on one discussion about your favorite stock charts.

I've been day trading and swing trading the stock market every day for 20 years, and have been teaching others how to do it since 2004. When I started trading I only knew how to do fundamental analysis, and had never paid much attention to charts. Some of my on-line friends in stock market related forums were always talking about charting, and by using them how their trading had become much more successful. I took their advice, and started learning all about charts and technical indicators. I studied one at a time. It took nearly two years to complete the study of over fifty indicators. This course is based on the best indicator of them all. After a few years my trading success rate had gone up dramatically, and the trades I lost on were fewer and further between. And much smaller too!

ottimo corso di analisi tecnica ad ampio raggio, con spiegazioni chiare ed esaustive, che danno possibilità al trader di scegliere le tecniche più adatte alla sua operatività... da rivedere più volte, soprattutto per quanto riguarda gli strumenti più importanti o più utilizzati nella operatività di ciascuno

Yes, I am learning at my own pace. The thing I like about the course is the presenter explains the content in a very easy to understand way. If I don't under something, I can go back and review each part of the presentation The presenter gives actual examples of what the stock does over a certain period, mostly the day period.

Great teacher on the topic, id pay $200 easy for this course i learned so much thats invaluable. Some teachers on here are boring and not engaging at all. I found i couldnt stop watching this. Has a great way of explaining things to the everyday person

Overall im satisfied for the price. I do find for a beginners guide that there are way too many indicators showed or at least that too much time is spend on it that could be spend on other things. But I am not disappointed it was a good course.

I have taken a bunch of courses from different instructors and I still learned a lot in this course. He walks you through setting up and shows examples for more than 50 indicators. Several of the indicators I have used in the past and I was using them incorrectly. I will play around with a few of the ones I think I like and probably switch back and fourth depending on what I am doing. This course will save me time in looking these indicators up on google or youtube. Good information for a lot of indicators!

I am excited to learn about these methods. I knew they existed but did not give them much notice. For an example I pulled up a chart on a stock that I am interested in. It showed exactly the patterns that this class has discussed. This is exactly what I needed. I have been trading stock options long enough that I am familiar with the terms and methods of buying and selling, but I was looking for help in analysis and decision making.

This is an outstanding course. The course goes over all technical chart patterns, indicators and candle stick signals. The instructor uses stockcharts.com which is a popular website for stocks. I am glad I run into this course. The only down side is, there are no examples of scanning strategies for selecting stocks. I hope the instructor develops a whole new course for scanning stocks using stockcharts.com scanning tools. I highly recommend this course and I think you will be pleased with the knowledge gained.
By Vazgen Badalyan on 7/24/2014
A very good course! Now I have a much better understanding of technical analysis and technical indicators. However, there seems to be too information from StockCharts.com. It would have been nice if there were some more personal examples of predicted value of stocks, rather than mostly historical analysis of stocks where indicators have worked.
