Technical Analysis and Inter-Market Trading
Objectives
The course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts and techniques of Technical Analysis as practised today by many fund managers, asset allocation strategists and traders in the capital markets. Of particular focus in the course will be the increasing importance of inter-market technical and quantitative analytical tools. Rather than taking specific securities and considering their valuations and expected returns in isolation, the emphasis will be much more on the inter-connection of items from different asset classes.
Target Audience
The course is designed for persons who have a background in the fundamentals of technical analysis. It will provide a supplementary set of skills and techniques for those seeking greater understanding of underlying market dynamics and trading strategies. For those with no background and who would like to attend there is a comprehensive primer document (provided on registration to all candidates) which explains the foundations of technical analysis and introduces the basic concepts, terminology and methods which will be examined at a more advanced level in the course. However, the course will assume this knowledge at its start.
Length and Structure of the Course
The course covers two days of lectures which will feature many specific examples and case studies. Each day will consist of four separate ninety minute sessions with coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon with a lunch break in the middle. There is no formal examination for the course but candidates will receive a certificate of attendance.
