Stock trading can be intimidating, frustrating, sometimes painful... but always exciting.
Which stocks, commodities, or cryptocurrency should I buy?
When exactly should I buy or sell?
What is technical analysis and where can I learn it?
When you’re risking real money, it’s scary. Especially when you’re not a “numbers” person. Maybe you look at stock charts and all those crazy lines and it's like a foreign language.
It’s even worse if you’ve been investing for awhile and kind of know what you’re doing. You might make money sometimes, but it’s not consistent. And between TV, blogs, Twitter and all the noise online, it’s information overload. One guy says “buy,” one guy says “sell.” Your research tells you one thing, and then the market does the opposite.
What if you knew a proven process to make smart, confident trading decisions?
Imagine looking at a stock chart and knowing exactly if you want to buy or sell.
Picture yourself having more winning trades and knowing how to manage your risk and cut your losses when you’re wrong?
This course will teach you the essentials of technical analysis and stock trading to help you make smart, profitable investing decisions. You’ll focus on the most important technical indicators and put it all together into a process that I actually use as a professional hedge fund manager.

This is NOT a comprehensive, kitchen sink course with hours of obscure, useless information. That’s the last thing I want to teach. I filter everything down and focus on only the MOST important foundations of stock trading and technical analysis:

Most importantly, my videos will be hands-on and you’ll look over my shoulder as I talk through how I apply my concepts in practice with live examples.
My process is all about SIMPLICITY. I’ll leave the fancy, complex stuff to others. More is not always better. We’ll focus on simple ideas like support, resistance, basic chart patterns, and a couple of technical indicators. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what these mean—I walk through everything from the ground up).
Once you understand the foundations of technical analysis, you can apply it to any market and any kind of trading. Stocks, penny stocks, ETFs, commodities and Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading? Investing, swing trading, day trading, options trading?
Technical analysis will give you an edge in all of this.
