The LTAG technical analysis curriculum will provide you with a comprehensive set of skills and know-how to be able to better navigate, enter and exit any market. If its a course it will follow a well thought through structure and if it’s our subscription service that same level of know-how will be delivered over time across a wide variety of examples.
Courses are designed to start from BASIC, progress to INTERMEDIATE and finish with ADVANCED concepts. Albeit, to have the best understanding the entire programme is recommended.
LTAG TA tuition is predominantly for medium to long term investors who may also want to trade a small proportion of their portfolio and want entry and exit signals.

Intermediate Course
At the heart of TA are a large range, literally hundreds, of TA indicators which do the heavy lifting of seeing trends and reversals more easily than only looking at price action. These can be divided into categories. The Intermediate course will cover all the categories but importantly, based on long experience, suggest a short list and an even more refined favourites list which you can use yourself to save yourself years of experimentation. To see which to use and whether they are valid, the concepts of confirmation, divergence, accumulation and distribution are explained.

Advanced Course
One of the key things investors want to have a view on is not simply entry and exit points but what price point may the market reach? The Advanced course looks at the techniques of Elliott Wave and Hurst Cycle analysis and Harmonic patterns in combination with statistical ratios from Fibonacci to help you have a view on the future of your investment.

Subscription Service
A little like the 1 on 1 tuition service clients taking up this service are pressed for time but instead of having specific issues they would prefer to learn TA by means of regular worked examples using stocks/assets that a broader group of investors are interested in. This service is still being designed and will be available shortly. Over time the technical analysis curriculum will be covered. It will likely have some or all of these features.
- The Weekly View – group stocks/assets of interest – likely trend reversals in the coming week.
- The Monthly View – group stocks/assets of interest – dummy trades position
- Private TG page – alerts on investment developments for group stocks/assets – e.g. intra week trend reversals of note.
- Webinars – 4 per year (on key TA topics – e.g. risk and trade management).
- Individual Q&A – a set amount of private Q&A for TA outside of group stocks/assets. (Not as broad ranging as the 1 on 1 service)
