Course Description

The Broad Market Analysis class is designed for Individual Stock, ETF’s and Index Futures traders to analyze the market’s trends and behaviors in order to classify, distinguish and properly time their trades. With proper education and practice, you can learn to determine the market's overall direction and then take a position that is harmonious with the market, away from the dangerous side and in the direction of the most profitable side.

Most traders look at the market in Black and White. In the Broad Market Analysis class, we discover the market in its FULL COLORS, to gain a greater understanding of its behavior.

The course will encompass the technical tools and the proper understanding of the behaviors that dominate the market. This is designed to help forecast the different time-frames of the market, from very short-term to the grand, long-term designs. The curriculum will be focused around pure price-based technical analysis using the major indices as the forecasting instruments.

• You will learn to forecast the direction of the market with high consistency and reliability.
• You will learn the “technical structures” of the markets and why they move the way they do.
• There will be plenty of real time data & charting exercises.
• You will be trained to see the behaviors and patterns that those behaviors create.
• Learn how to correctly employ your charts and eliminate technical analysis errors.
• Learn how to correlate across different markets and time frames.
• We will teach you to see the markets through a better, clearer and broader set of "lenses"

The class ends with actual forecasting of the markets that begin with the grand time frames all the way down to the minutia level. You will finally have a grip on what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and how these structures set up future events.

Testimonials

January 2005 Grads

"I highly recommend the Broad Market Analysis (BMA) class to any student that wishes to further develop the basic principles learned in the Pro Trader Class. BMA provides additional insights that permit the student trader to better understand how the market works and to devise and adapt trading strategies accordingly."

Bill D., January 2008

"The Broad Market Analysis brought ideas that I had never considered before. It was extremely focused and well taught. I learned concepts that will help me make better buying and selling decisions, which of course should help me make more money. The instructor encouraged class interaction so that many questions were answered which brought a wider understanding for everyone to various problems many of us have faced in the past."

Dorothy S., January 2008

"I learn a lot from Fernando's way approach : always looking to the bigger picture. It is different than the day trading approach, short term short (frequent, hopefully) profit. I am happy with the classes (including the pro trading 1+2) I attended."

Tin L., June 2006

"Once again you have filled in another piece of the trading puzzle! Every class gives me a more complete understanding of the market."

Steven M., June 2006

"This class equips the trader to face all market conditions, preparing the mind for any possible future."

Karen C., June 2006

"Awesome class, and eye opener. Information not found anywhere."

Gustavo L., December 2005

"Fernando's knowledge and understanding of the market and his ability to present it in a very clear manner is fantastic."

Ray M. December 2005

"First coming to the class, not sure I would be able to understand the course as a whole. After the class, I cannot believe how important this class is to trading."

Michelle M. December 2005

"It was eye opening experience to me. I NEVER looked at the market from a Broad perspective."

Randy S. December 2005

"The class helped me a lot and now I know why the market behaves the way it does."

Hitesh S. December 2005

"Fernando is a highly experienced trader and spoke from years of experience. He was very confident and opinionated which I liked."

Tim R., April 2005

"Fernando's tools, while simple to apply are complex and precise enough to enhance any trading style, irrespective of the individual trader's set ups, time frame, choice of indicators, or fundamental analysis. I can't recommend it enough."

Ed S. December 2004

"Online Trading Academy has given me additional confidence to trade professionally, not only from the on site coursework, but also by having them as ongoing support. I highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone serious about trading."

R.T., August 2004
