Strategies and technical analysis
Practical trading topics — from foundational indicators to advanced concepts, with visuals to make the ideas click.
Warning
Trading is an advanced and risky topic. These materials assume you already know the basics from the Academy (Levels 1 and 2). Most short-term traders lose money.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
RSI is a powerful momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, offering traders insights into trend strength, potential reversals, and market consolidation periods. This guide details the use of 70 and 30 levels, the power of the midline (50), analyzing trend lines on RSI, identifying divergences, and trading strategies with 'Failure Swings'.
Comprehensive Guide to Trend Lines
Trend lines are a cornerstone of technical analysis; by connecting highs and lows, they identify market trends, support and resistance, enable objective chart interpretation, and are crucial for independent trading.
Ichimoku Cloud Basics
The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that helps traders identify support and resistance areas, trend direction, and provides trading signals.
Mastering Fibonacci Levels
Fibonacci levels are one of the most versatile tools in technical analysis, helping to identify key areas of support, resistance, and potential price targets, especially when used in confluence with other indicators.
Fundamentals of Risk Management
Learn the key concepts of risk management in trading: stop-loss, position sizing, R-ratio, and the impact of leverage to survive and succeed in the market.
Mastering Horizontal Levels: Support and Resistance (S/R)
Understand horizontal levels: support and resistance (S/R), SR Flip, three key trading principles, how to identify strong levels, and the differences between retest types.
Basics of Candlestick Charts
Technical analysis is not about predicting the future, but a tool for probabilistic forecasts of price movements based on historical data. Japanese candlesticks are a crucial part of this analysis, as each candle provides insight into market activity through OHLC data (Open, High, Low, Close) within a defined timeframe. Use them in the right context and avoid common mistakes.
The "Clean Double Closed" Strategy: Trading Failed Breakouts
The "Clean Double Closed" (CDC) strategy focuses on exploiting situations where key technical levels are broken but prices quickly return, trapping traders who bet on the breakout's continuation, thereby triggering a strong counter-breakout. We understand the logic of traps, the setup structure, variations, level and timeframe selection, execution (entries and stop-loss), and confluence factors.
The Power of Multi-Time Frame Analysis: How to Understand Market Context
