Comprehensive Technical Analysis Curriculum
A step-by-step educational roadmap designed to transition market participants from ad-hoc indicator guessing to systematic, rule-based chart execution.
From Indicator Calibration to Live Risk Execution
Technical analysis is a visual discipline that requires repeatable pattern recognition under market uncertainty. Our four-stage progressive syllabus ensures you master foundational moving average curves before advancing to complex multi-oscillator divergence and dynamic risk protocols.
Weekly Masterclass Progression
Module 1: Moving Average Geometry & EMA Ribbon Dynamics
Deep-dive into the mathematics, lag reduction, and geometric properties of Simple (SMA) vs. Exponential (EMA) moving averages. Learn to configure and interpret an 8/21/55/200 EMA ribbon to define market structure across different volatility regimes.
Topics Covered
- Calculating exponential multipliers and smoothing constants
- The 3 Ribbon States: Compression, Expansion, and Overextension
- Identifying dynamic support and resistance at the 21 EMA pocket
- The Golden Cross vs. 200 EMA structural slope filtering
Practical Exercises
- Hand-charting EMA pullbacks on historical ASX 200 daily bars
- Configuring multi-EMA chart layouts in standard software
- Filtering out consolidation chop using ribbon slope angles
Module 2: Momentum Oscillators & Divergence Detection
Uncover the internal physics of price velocity through the Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD Histogram, and Stochastic indicators. Master the critical distinction between regular reversal divergence and hidden continuation divergence.
Topics Covered
- Wilder's RSI formula: Beyond simplistic 70/30 overbought levels
- Spotting Regular Bullish & Bearish Divergence for trend exhaustion
- Hidden Bullish & Bearish Divergence for high-probability trend rides
- MACD centerline zero-line bounces and histogram tick shifts
Practical Exercises
- Blind chart testing: identifying divergence before subsequent price moves
- Mapping multi-oscillator confluence between RSI and MACD
- Creating a divergence confirmation checklist before order placement
Module 3: Volume-Price Confirmation & Anchor-Trigger Framework
Learn to audit institutional participation using relative volume signatures and volume moving averages. Connect macro weekly trend anchors with tactical daily and 4-hour execution triggers to eliminate conflicting timeframe bias.
Topics Covered
- Relative Volume (RVOL) thresholds: 1.5x baseline confirmation
- Volume climax exhaustion vs. low-volume consolidation pullbacks
- The Anchor-Trigger method: Weekly trend meets Daily setup meets 4H trigger
- Identifying liquidity sweeps and false moving average breaks
Practical Exercises
- Auditing 10 historical breakout charts for genuine volume conviction
- Building a 3-tier multi-timeframe dashboard
- Executing simulated trade entries on bar-replay mode
Module 4: Risk Protocol, ATR Sizing & Written Playbook Finalization
Synthesize all technical principles into an immutable personal trading playbook. Establish exact position sizing formulas using Average True Range (ATR), trailing stops along the 21 EMA, and structured post-trade journal routines.
Topics Covered
- Average True Range (14 ATR) volatility-based stop placement
- Fixed fractional risk sizing (1% to 2% max account exposure)
- Dynamic trailing stop rules using the 8 EMA and 21 EMA
- Structuring a standardized technical trade journal
Practical Exercises
- Writing your complete 6-page Technical Trade Playbook
- One-on-one trade log critique session with Sophie Mitchell
- Live presentation of candidate setups to the training cohort
