This comprehensive program is both an academic learning process and a hands-on practical exposure to technical analysis. It is designed to provide a foundation for professional users of technical analysis.
Unlike other summary technical courses that focus on technical principles, participants will be taught to use the material learned and attempt to create and innovate profitable investing and trading strategies. They will also be exposed to academic research that may support or refute some technical approaches. Current market situations that students may experience in their work or personal experience in the bond, commodity, currency, equity, futures, and options markets will be discussed in class. Sample problems from actual historical market charts will also be discussed, and recommended readings from leading textbooks will be listed for each course section.
