Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis is designed to provide you with an understanding of the practical application of technical analysis through relevant workshops where you will apply the knowledge developed in the course to real-world market scenarios.

Trainer

Duration: 1 Day

Who should attend

This course is suitable for you if you want a practical overview of technical analysis or if you are required to use forecasting techniques in day-to-day activities. No previous knowledge of the subject is required; however, a basic understanding of the LME market and futures terminology would be beneficial.

Benefits for you

This course provides an excellent opportunity to undertake practical-based training of a 'trader's approach' to technical analysis.

Benefits for your organisation

Trading companies may wish to have their employees trained in widely used chart analysis techniques and metal industry participants will benefit by understanding how other sectors of the industry use the futures markets and thus have the advantage of being able to make informed decisions on when to enter or exit a market.

What will you learn?

  • Understand the value of trendlines, their opportunities and traps when analysing market trends
  • Learn how different types of charting and reversal patterns can help in market analysis
  • Understand how different types of commodities or assets are suited to different types of analysis

Prerequisites

No previous knowledge of the subject is required. A basic understanding of the LME market, or commodities markets in general, would be helpful, but is not essential although knowledge of futures terminology is desirable.
