Free Trading Workshop | Market Outlook 2013 – Back by Popular Demand!

Market Outlook 2013 - Back by Popular Demand

After giving the “Market Outlook 2013 Seminar” last week, I got a lot of requests to hold another session as seats were very limited. Those who attended last week will recognise this chart, and kudos who those who acted on what I said in the seminar and bought this stock when it gapped down the next day as predicted, potentially capturing a 9% upside surge.

You can read more about the feedback we got on the previous seminar:
https://synapsetrading.com/2013/01/market-outlook-2013-the-big-moves-ahead/

Due to space constraints, we were only able to accomodate 50 people, and I promised to organise another session as soon as possible for those who missed out, so here it is! For those who already went for the previous seminar, please do not sign up for this one, and give others a chance to instead.

For those keen on this seminar, kindly sign-up for our mailing list and reply quickly once you receive the invitation (I will be sending it out next Tuesday at noon). The seats for the previous seminar were filled within a few hours, so it is best to reserve early.

See you soon!

Free Trading Workshop | Market Outlook 2013 – The BIG Moves Ahead

Market Outlook 2013 - The BIG Moves Ahead

Last Saturday, I conducted a market outlook seminar for 2013, sharing how to read charts using behavioral analysis and how to identify the 4 major behavior patterns. This was done on-the-spot using real examples, and without using any indicators or special software.

Due to space constraints, we were only able to accomodate 50 people, so I will try to organise another session as soon as possible for those who missed out. For those who already went for this seminar, please do not sign up for the next one and give others a chance.

For those keen on the next seminar, kindly sign-up for our mailing list and reply quickly once you receive the invitation (usually sent about a week before the event). The seats for this seminar were filled within a few hours, so it is best to reserve early.

Feedback

“Articulated insights on trading, my key takeaways are the 4 major patterns of market behaviour, and the distribution/accumulation phases which appear as low price volatility on price charts. I think it’s great – no use of jargons at all! The speaker is soft-spoken and not “showy” as compared to other speakers.”
– Howard

“Very comprehensive, covers a lot of ground. There is a lot more focus on behavioral analysis and price action then other courses. Now, I have a lot more awareness of how price may reflect behaviour of big players.”
– GH (Student, 3 years experience)

“This workshop is informative and updated, and the speaker is good, friendly and open.”
– Valerie (Student, NTU, <1 year experience)

“Very informative and sincere, focused on trading psychology. Now I see markets as a form of psychological warfare.”
– Adrian Tan (Student, NTU, <1 year)

“Spencer is very keen to teach and is sincere in what he wants to do. This course is different because it uses less charts, and more psychology & behaviour of buyers and sellers. It is less technical, and more interesting & suits my cup of tea.”
– Maween (4 years experience)

“This a clear presentation by the speaker, with heavy focus on the behavioral side. Spencer is modest and willing to share. Very modest in marketing his program.”
– Yap BT (IT Sector)

“This workshop is different because it combines TA & mind analysis. I learnt how to ride the trend to maximise profit. ”
– Darren

– Ng Guang Jie (Student, <1 year experience)

“This changes the way I see markets by giving me some more insight to the market play. Very good for beginners.”

Email from a new student: Traders Network - Private Forum

I recently received a heart-warming letter from one of my new students, and I thought I’ll share it here.

To all current students, I have recently created a new “Trading FAQ” section in the forum, and I will be answering all these questions and more in this new section, so that all new and in-coming students can benefit from it.

Forum Tips – Soaring Profits on the Euro and Sterling

Soaring Profits on the Euro and Sterling 2

Soaring Profits on the Euro and Sterling 2

Today was a pretty quiet day, just like yesterday, for the large part of the day. The major pairs were trapped in a narrow range of about 30-40 pips. However, from reading the price action, I was pretty certain we would be seeing more upside. Adding to my longs from yesterday, I had about 20 lots on the EUR/USD.

After hitting my first TP, I went long 10 lots on the GBP/USD, staggering the 1st and 2nd TP to maximize my hitrate and lower my risk. The markets were rather quiet after dinner so I took some time off to do some Christmas shopping.

At night, both pairs broke out, and my 2nd TP for GBP/USD was hit. the EUR/USD was showing signs of price weakness, so I decided to take my profits and call it a night. I ended the day with an average of roughly 50 pips on 20 standard lots, which amounted to slightly more than 10k. I am still adapting to wider swings in my P&L, and I will continue to increase my trading size.

Note to Mentoring Program Graduates:
Work on the easier setups, and aim to find one or two good trades a day. Work on getting a high hitrate, and do not be afraid of letting the winners run. One good swing can make you more than many days of small profits. Take small victories, and make sure you catch these windfalls too.
Good luck!
