Advanced Technical Analysis Workshop - Evening

This course is for technical analysts who have moved beyond the beginning stages of the discipline, and need to focus more on strategies and case analysis. This is the perfect follow-up course for Technical Analysis. It is designed also to be interactive and tackle issues that students may face in their own trading experiences.

Course emphasis is placed on studying potentially profitable strategies with derivative/technical, intermarket, pairs trading, and algorithmic considerations. Trade-offs between using conventional technical indicators and more exotic ones are explored. Frequency of trading and customizing technical tools is explored in areas such as commodities, FX, stocks, bonds and swaps.

This course deals with the major chart patterns, using various technical tools with emphasis on turning points, continuation patterns, and important market decision points to reach buy/sell decisions. The course deals with measuring momentum indicators that are used by many technicians. Indicators include tools such as RSI, MACD, Stochastics, and Moving Averages. They are discussed in terms of both price and volume measurement. Both long and short-term cycles are examined, including Elliot Wave Theory. Also explored are Japanese Candlesticks, Point and Figure, and Quantitative decision-making tools using statistical analysis. Portfolio management techniques within the context of risk-adjusted excess returns of modern portfolio theory are incorporated with Behavioral considerations. The course also explores traditional and advanced sentiment measures. The course also discusses other markets such as international, real estate and art.
