About this Course

You will learn how to use Technical Analysis and Capital Management techniques. 

 Technical Analysis looks at price, volume, and time in various permutations, and visualizes this data as ‘technical indicators”.  Do these technical indicators actually work? Well, yes, and no. Most technical indicators do not work, most of the time, and there are no magical indicators that will make you rich. Moreover, the vast majority of marketed technical trading systems are ‘curve-fit’ and unsuccessful over the long-term. The trick to using technical indicators comes from how you combine them, and how you adapt them to ever-changing market conditions. This is essential knowledge for develop trading algorithms.

You will learn how to apply ​Macro Fundamental analysis.

Macro analysis uses economic indicators such as non-farm payrolls, housing starts, the yield curve, forex relationships, etc., and assesses the impact of many other factors to understand the economy and financial markets from the perspective of value. Everyone absolutely must understand how these indicators affect asset prices. The mastery of this subject, however, comes from understanding the exceptions, or why things don’t always happen as academics or common logic might suggest.

J. Lenar ​
“When I decided to learn about the stock market, I was very nervous. Adam helped me make sense of it all. It was hard  to make this change in my career considering its risks. Adam was always there to answer questions and talk me through the anxiety when I thought I made a wrong move, or simply when I just wasn't getting it. He is very dependable and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn more about the market. He is very knowledgeable and really puts his years of experience to good use. I am more confident as time goes by and feel a sense comfort knowing Adam has taught me well.”

"Adam Jagiellowicz was part of my introduction in finance. Learning from him gave me a start to develop an independent and professional mindset towards capital markets. His teachings provided guidance on the abilities one should hone as a trader, from a quantitative and fundamental perspective. Most importantly, he ingrained in me early on the importance of position sizing, market timing, and risk management"
