Course Description
I've been a full-time trader of the Stock Market for almost twenty years, and I have developed a very simple and effective strategy for Swing Trading Stocks, ETF's - plus the Forex, Cryptocurrency and Commodity Markets. My strategy combines both Fundamental and Technical Analysis, but relies mostly on Technical Analysis of stock charts. This course will concentrate on Technical Analysis, and you will learn everything I know about correctly reading stock charts in about 80 minutes!
By training yourself to read and correctly interpret the information charts give you, you will be able to predict which way a stock will most likely move in the near future. Charts can actually give you a glimpse of the future, and are a must have tool in the successful trader's arsenal.
In my Beginners Guide to Technical Analysis of Stock Charts here on Udemy, I covered fifty different technical indicators. In this course, I teach the one indicator I use for all of my Buy and Sell Signals, and it's accuracy rate is about 80%. Two of the most important lessons included in this course are how to handle a false Buy Signal to keep losses to an absolute minimum, and when to lock in profits to maximize your gains. The trading strategy I teach in this course will provide you with a plan for entering and exiting trades with confidence.
I look forward to helping you to become a successful Trader!
Happy Trading!

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!

Interesting concept. Can have some false signals so maybe use it as a sentiment and use other price action confirmations like order blocks, previous highs/lows, volumes (there is a lot more to volumes than what was mentioned in this program) and other order flow tools. Also, rather than showing so many examples from a static chart, why not use the playback mode on TradingView and show examples of how you would handle a trade candle by candle on the right hand edge.

Excellent course. Well laid out and easy to understand with lots of examples. My only complaint, which doesn't affect my positive rating, is that I would have liked the course to have included sectiona on stock selection, the screening criteria used to find the stocks aa well as some examples using ETFs. But overall, a very good course. Well done...

Although the examples are numerous the theory is not really convincing, there's no depth to it. The author interprets the graphs in a way that's very subjective and has no systemic logic to it, as opposed to what was expected
By Mpho Roy Kesekang on 11/15/2020
Clear and straight forward. Wish he could do more examples with the rewind feature that way we do not see the right side of the chart.
By Diyan Mitev on 11/15/2020
Interesting course with lots of examples.
The structure could be laid out a bit better with more info on the basics of what CCI is, what timespans to cover, etc.
Can be expanded into different timespans than the default 20 CCI - can it be used with success in shorter term stock reviews?
By Economics and Finance Daniel on 11/8/2020
Powerful tool, but the examples are redundant. The whole course only takes about one indicator. Even though it was a solid one, it could have been taught within 15 minutes, not an hour or so.
