Course Overview          

Market participants are becoming ever more technical in their search for alpha. Markets themselves have high intraday volatility and participants are using technical analysis to help with timing of executions of trades.

Many markets are entering areas that have not been experienced in the past. Technical analysis will help you navigate unchartered waters.
