Curriculum
Curriculum path
The sequence we use in technical analysis training when the goal is reliable swing trade chart planning — from higher-timeframe maps to post-trade review.
This curriculum is not a catalog of indicators. It is the order of decisions we teach when building a swing plan: map structure, define triggers, size from invalidation, maintain levels mid-week, then review the markup after the trade closes.
Private sessions and workshops draw from these stages. You may enter at stage one as a new client, or use weekly reviews once stages one through three are familiar.
1. Higher-timeframe map
Mark weekly and daily swing highs and lows. Define the prevailing bias before looking for entries. Identify zones where structure would break.
2. Trigger criteria
Translate bias into concrete daily or 4-hour conditions: retests, failed breaks, or continuation patterns you will actually wait for.
3. Risk geometry
Place invalidation from structure, not round numbers alone. Size the position from distance to stop and your fixed risk amount.
4. Mid-week maintenance
Update annotations when price reaches a planned level. Decide in advance what to do if the market gaps through your zone.
5. Post-trade markup review
Compare intended plan versus execution. Note which levels held and which were decorative — keep only the useful lines for the next swing cycle.
