If you aren't happy with the results you're getting from the stock market, this class is for you! Use technical analysis to improve your trading and get the gains you've always wanted. Markay will break down the principles of technical analysis into easy to understand pieces. Then we will take technical analysis where few are brave enough to go. We will show you how to apply technicals to your own trading to make an immediate positive impact on your brokerage account.

The beauty of technical analysis is that it can be used to fit any trading style, from the short-term trader to the buy and hold investor and everyone in between. Not sure what your style is? Don't have a style? Don't worry! We'll help you find a trading style that fits the way you live your life.

Once you've defined the way you want to trade, it is simply a matter of putting the right technical tools together with the right stocks. Then you're on your way! Sound too easy? I think you'll find that most people make trading more complicated than it needs to be. There is NO need to analyze the hundreds of technical tools and indicators available before making a trade. That is how you end up with paralysis of analysis! Rather, focus on those tools that are proven to work and you will see the results in your account.

You won't learn just the basic definitions of technical tools here. This class will go beyond what you get from reading a book. Bring your laptops! We can help you get all your indicators, charts and scans set up so you are ready to trade when you walk out of the class.

This class will concentrate on technicals that help us determine the following:

  • Which stocks are trending.
  • When that trend is consolidating, or taking a breather.
  • How you determine when the trend is over.
One of the best ways to maintain the consistency needed to survive the market battlefield is to trade in the direction of the overall trend. Or, as you've probably heard before, make the trend your friend. The easiest way to do that is to analyze the major indices with the tools you will learn in this class and place the bulk of your trades in the direction of the over all market. It is also important to have some hedges in place and we'll teach you how to capture moves in the opposite direction of the market as well as a hedge to your directional trades.

Knowing which direction to trade is important, but if you can't find the right stocks you're never going to make money trading. Markay uses several charting scans that pick out stocks with a high probability of powerful moves. Markay will show you the scans she uses and will discuss how to interpret what the scans are indicating.

In addition to that you will learn the key indicators we use to determine the strength of trends and thus the potential a stock has to move. Some of those indicators are:

  • ADX - To determine the strength of a trend.
  • RSI - A leading indicator that shows momentum of a stock.
  • CashFlow Accumulation - Which shows where the money is going.
Once you are able to identify the strong trending stocks to trade, we will show you how to use moving averages as an easy way to time your entries and exits. This is more than just the basic moving average crossovers, those signals are too delayed to profit from. We will show you how to use moving averages as support and resistance to enter near the beginning of trends to increase your profits.

Every successful trader has the ability to recognize when a trend is changing. Let us show you some of the most proven ways to get a heads up on a change in trend. MACD is a great indicator to identify the potential trend change but it doesn't give you the exact timing needed to capitalize on the change. Because of that, we spend a lot of time in class making sure you understand the way stocks move. We do that by concentrating on two different pattern types:

  • Reversal Patterns such as Head and Shoulders, Multiple Tops and Bottoms, and Spike and V patterns.
  • Continuation Patterns such as Triangles, Wedges, Flags and Rectangles
It's not enough that you understand what the patterns look like; we won't let you leave until you can identify a pattern as it is developing, not weeks after the trade is over.

Candlesticks also provide us with some very powerful signs of a changing trend. You will gain a basic understanding of candlesticks and be able to recognize and trade more advanced patterns. The bulk of this section will be spent on some of the strongest candle signals as follows:

  • Large and small real bodies
  • Hammers and Shooting Stars
  • Morning Star and Evening Star reversals
  • Engulfing candles
Candlesticks can also be used to differentiate between the end of a trend and a stock just taking a breather before it continues the trend. That type of "continuation pattern" can be seen throughout all strong trends. After taking this class you will be able to identify the trends that are continuing and be able to stay in those trades to maximize your profits.

Bollinger Bands are another proven technical tool. You will be able to add further clarification to price patterns and emotions by using Bollinger Bands. They show even more clearly times at which the market may be changing direction. You will learn to identify the following:

  • Bollinger Band Tops and Bottoms
  • Support and Resistance Levels
  • Walking the Band-when you need to stay in the trade (and when to get out)
You will also leave with a sure-fire way to use Bollinger Bands to capitalize on those stocks with low volatility right before and explosive move. This is huge for you option traders as this will help get you in the trade before those options become inflated.

Technical analysis works amazingly well because it is a picture of the emotions of all traders and investors. What we really do is trade people's emotions. There are times those emotions hit extreme levels and when that happens the markets are usually screaming to reverse. In this class, we will talk about the following contrarian indicators that signal these extreme emotional levels:

  • CBOE Market Volatility Index ($VIX)
  • Put / Call Ratio
  • Short Interest
This is just a taste of the things you will learn at this class. You will leave armed with the tools you need to be a profitable trader. You will have the skills to pinpoint your entries and exits to maximize your profits and minimize your losses. Come to class, bring your computer and leave prepared to profit from the market trends!
