  • Education/analysis of fine points on classical charting as we go through different charts/questions

Live questions from Members

  1. New member here. I like your data on win rate by pattern and breakout type. I know your targets are based on the chart patterns but have you looked at risk-reward ratios on your trades? In this current environment, I am happy taking some profits at 2:1 and thrilled when a 3:1 reward to risk is achieved. Also, how much risk do you place on a trade? Is it similar to Peter Brandt, and is it a certain percentage of account equity? 47:55
  2. I remember seeing on Aksel's Twitter that he used a quiz to teach about movements and patterns. I found it very didactic to learn technical analysis. Are these quizzes also in the members' area? 49:17
  3. SLIDE 43 - Where to check, ema or sma? 49:55 
  4. Re. Gold: Looking at the monthly chart, can you comment on possible cup & handle? 50:45
  5. Do you look at sectors and main trend in the market when deciding to take a trade? 51:16
  6. How do you rate the technical situation of XETRA DAX? 52:25
  7. How much importance do you give to institutional investors scaling in the stocks and how do you go about noticing their process? 53:14
  8. For looking at chart daily or weekly or monthly? 54:52
  9. In the poorly trending market would you suggest a tighter SL (high R:R, low win rate) or wider SL (Low R:R, high win rate) or is the strength of the market not relevant to SL positioning? 56:02
  10. What time of day do you trade? Always at or near closing price? 56:59
  11. How to know which support or res? right or wrong. 57:45

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – December 10, 2022

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is consolidating around its 200-day average at 88.4 levels. The ETF is looking for direction. On the daily scale price action is going through low volatility condition which is usually followed by directional movement. Next week will be important in understanding the short/medium-term trend direction. Failure to recover and stabilize above the 200-day average can result in a downtrend towards 81.4 levels. Another strong daily price action towards 90 levels can start a new uptrend above the long-term average.
