Technical analysis is one of the most important tools you can learn and use to become a successful trader and investor. It is a vast subject, but it's a lot easier to pick up, understand, and apply than you may think.

The Technical analysis 'charts' can look very confusing, but there is no great complex mathematics behind them - just simple logic and common sense. Technical analysis is both subjective and objective, and because of this 'tools' are created that may be more suitable to use for some than others. There can be a lot of trial and error and time wasted finding out what works for you - this course cuts through all that.

Another issue is that what you can learn from a textbook on the subject doesn't often work out when you come to do the practical bit of trading using Technical analysis. Throughout the course, based on years of successful, practical experience using Technical analysis as a trader, I give you guidance as to how to apply Technical analysis in the real world.

Who should take this course?

This course is suitable for all levels but aimed at the beginner / new user of Technical analysis.

The course is taught by me - Stephen Hoad. I am a leading Technical analyst. I hold the MSTA qualification with distinction from the Society of Technical Analysts (STA) in the UK. I am also on the STA's elite panel of lecturers and I teach the diploma course to professional traders and investors. I also teach Technical analysis and trading at various other UK Universities at the post-graduate level as well as through my company The stop hunter to the general public. My specialty is Japanese style Technical analysis and algorithmic / Systematic trading.

Apart from decades of academic experience in Technical analysis, I have also been a professional risk manager and trader for over 25 years, working for some of the most successful trading firms in the world, applying and using Technical analysis to great effect. Apart from the educational side of the business, I remain a trader and use Technical analysis as a key component of my managed trading fund. So I know it works.

I look forward to seeing you on the course.
