The instructor shows you everything about choosing what stocks to trade, where and when to enter the trade, and when to exit. I'm not a chartist but I still found the course interesting and informative. I do think the course should include explanations of two or three more candlestick formations.
By Fran Ondras on 6/24/2018
I am somewhat experienced in technical analysis but have not been confident to trade as much as I would like to. This course was very thorough and certainly worth the cost for the information that Luca provided. I liked the idea that he actually went through chart examples to show you when you should buy a stock and to what level it might go along with where to place a stop loss. His explanations were very clear and concise. I probably will review the trade examples again so that I have a clear understanding and more confidence to make a trade. I would highly recommend this course and will probably take more of his courses.

I think this was my sixth SharperTrades course on udemy. Every course I have learned a very lot. Luca puts a great deal of information in these courses. I have been pausing and rewinding and taking notes in an attempt to get as much as possible out of each class. One of the things I like is that Luca goes over a certain amount of information i guess as background information needed for each class. Even with the way I am pausing and rewinding and taking notes, I found I still miss crucial tips or tricks or information. Thanks Luca!
By Debbie C on 6/17/2017
Great course really! The class covers a lot of ground fairly well and I get so many great and honest advice from your course. The instructor is very responsive. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to get started at this field. I know I need to practice and digest them too. Thank you!

If all you are looking at is a definition of terms and a simplistic overview of equity trading, this course is okay. But the key elements it teaches is the obvious generic "stocks go up, stocks go sideways and stocks go down." Literally, one lesson was if stocks are going up, it's a good time to buy and if going down, it's a good time to sell.
By Michael Dao on 2/23/2017
I did take 7 couses with Kal and Luca, thus I'm not going to make 7 review. Just to point out both are very skilled and knowledgable. You have to listen multiple time to have a feel on how Luca is directing/analyzing the chart; After a while you can do on your own, it's second nature. I learn quite a lot, now I just need to practice on paper account before using a margin account. Looking forward to see what next.
By Gary Lucas on 9/5/2016
This is on of the best courses i have done in my year of study. It covers topics well and easily. Luca is so great at getting the concepts over in an easy to understand way. He is always willing to answer questions without any hesitation. I will certainly be signing up for more of his courses. In short. A great teacher, very personable, very intelligent, great content.

I absolutely loved this course. Luca teaches this course very well; he explains everything in a concise, clear, and informative manner. I appreciated the list of ETF's that were given for the various sectors and countries and the free platform suggestions for picking stocks within certain criteria. These free resources themselves make the course worth taking; they encourage one to explore the various options out there and start trading right away. Overall, the course is extremely informative, educational, and worth taking. Luca, keep up the great work and thanks for teaching so well!

I was not aware of the detail that Japanese Candlesticks offered as an analysis tool. I have learned a lot from Luca and like the pace of the course. It was not hard to keep up with. I am only paper trading for now but will feel more confident when I get to a level where I use real money to build some retirement income. I will probably look into more classes from Luca Moschini
By Richard Barrett on 3/22/2015
I really liked the style of the instructor, he has good energy and the pace was nice and steady. He broke down the subjects in logical order and gave just enough detail without being overly intensive. My suggestions for future additions would be: Please give a lesson on support and resistance line. And a lesson on moving averages. You demonstrate these things when selecting stocks but don't describe them. Could you also give a lesson of order of priority when you select a stock e.g. 1st see which sector of the market is going up, 2nd select which section of that sector, screen stocks in that selector - screening priority; which support lines matter most, do things like MACD matter more than support support and resistance lines - How does Mr Moschini evaluate these things against each other and in what order? I purchased all the other courses in the series and look forward to seeing more.
