Special offer: "Capturing Profit with technical Analysis"

This is the complete actual playlist about "basic technical analysis training":

 

This is the YouTube introduction video concerning basis technical analysis training.

And this is the text:

Hi there my name is sylvain vervoort, please feel free to say Sylvan or Sylvestro because I know that pronouncing Sylvain is probably not that easy in your native language. I am studying, training and applying technical analysis on stocks for more than 30 years now. You probably know me from a number of articles published in Stocks & Commodities magazine. Or maybe from my website “Stocata dot org”, which is all about basic technical analysis and advanced trading applying technical analysis. This video is an introduction to a series of planned videos that will teach you how to trade successfully based on technical analysis.

Very cheap books

Look at this chart of dynamic materials corp (with the ticker symbol BOOM, B-O-O-M) which is one of the stocks I am looking at for new trades. I would buy this stock at this point at the closing of march 10 or the opening of march 11, 2009 for a number of technical reasons, which will become clear to you with time and experience.

 

I would set a stop and close the position with a loss if the closing price would fall below  $4.95

Let’s look at the price evolution. It is clear that just looking at the price bars every day, it is very difficult to decide when to enter or when to exit this trade. So, again I will be using a number of techniques to let the profit run, only closing this position on June 12, 2009. Buying around $6 and selling at $21 creates a profit of 250% in only 3 months time.

Would you not like to be able to make these kind of decisions for your own trading? I guess you do. You would of course have to find out why you are tracking this stock and why you would consider buying this stock on March 10, and why you would hold on to the position until June 12 to make that 250% profit.

As you can see in the following images there are quite a number of techniques used to make the decisions as I did with this dynamic materials corp example.

Now this is exactly what I want to teach you in a series of videos....I have to warn you that it will take time and lot’s of practicing from your side before you will be able to accomplish this. But I tell you it will be a learning experience that will change your live.

You will have to absorb a big number of basic techniques and how to combine them making trading decisions. But don’t worry, I will get you through the process step by step.

 

We will go through the whole technical analysis package, starting with the two kind of charts I will be using; bar charts ... and candlestick charts, define support and resistance levels, the use of trendlines .... and trend channels, moving averages, looking out for chart patterns, interpreting gaps, the use of some indicators and oscillators, project Fibonacci targets and retracement levels, look at pitchforks, interprete candlestick patterns, make Elliott wave counts and a number of my special techniques. Of course I will explain how I apply money management and how to limit risk right from the opening of a position by using risk management with an initial stop and trailing stops. I hope this summing-up does not scare you. Like I mentioned before, we will take it step by step.

Let’s go for it and keep up with me every step. Watch out for the first video. Stay in touch, subscribe to my channel, give me your comments and pay a visit to my website: stocata dot org. Have a nice day and I hope I see you in the first real training video.
