Ways to Trade Stock MarketsThere are many approaches you can take to trading or investing in world stock markets which cover the rainbow of risk from very high to low. In this module, we examine each one in detail, from cash markets to futures derivatives and the associated instruments. This is the place to start your trading and investing journey by understanding them all, and from which you can begin to consider the approach whether one or perhaps blended with others, which is likely to suit you the best. It is an in-depth module that covers every aspect from stocks themselves in the cash markets, to stock options, ETFs, index futures, binary options, CFDs, and many more.
Stock Market Sectors ExplainedStock market sectors are a key part of any trading or investing decision as we attempt to analyze which are strong and bullish, which are weak and bearish, and those in congestion. All stocks are categorized and defined by the sector of which they are a part, and as such, this defines the characteristics of the stock and how it is likely to perform throughout the economic cycle. However, sectors are a confusing area, with a myriad of nomenclature and methodologies developed by various companies over the years, and in this module, we unpick them all, so you have a clear picture of which of the various approaches are important and why.
Fundamental Analysis You do not need to be an economist to understand the world of fundamental analysis. But you will need to understand each release, its importance, and what it actually means in terms of any impact, and how the central bank is likely to view this data in the context of developing future monetary policy for the country. All central banks are tasked with developing a stable economy with steady growth and managing inflation to ensure it grows steadily to stimulate the economy. All of this is done using the blunt instrument of interest rates and, in the last decades, increasingly with bond-buying programs of various types.
Pulling It All TogetherThis is the module where we will be adding regular content with updates on a variety of topics to help you get started on your own trading and investing journey. The financial markets are one of constant change, and it is here we will reflect those changes, both major and minor, along with all the other significant news relevant to you as a stock trader or investor. As the starting point, we suggest you study the PDF entitled Your Stock Picking Templates, which we created for this purpose, to give you ideas to help you get started. The lessons we add in the future will include things such as key changes in the industry, significant events in the market you need to be aware of, indicator news, general market news and information, new offerings in the scanner market, etc. In short, anything and everything to help you as you get started.
Live WebinarsThis is where you find all the recordings of the live stock trading and investing webinars that we have recorded since launching the Complete Stock Trading & Investing Program. They appear in chronological order and each recording will have a title that relates to the content, coupled with a brief description that will help you search out specific topics of interest. As a student of the XT program, if you are unable to attend the live weekly webinars, the recordings will appear in this section within a couple of days if not sooner.
Techniques of Fundamental Stock AnalysisBefore diving into this module I would suggest you study the pre-cursor to this one which is the Fundamental Stock Analysis & Financial Statements module which explains how to read the various financial statements such as the balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement which are an integral part of the reporting of company accounts. Here we take this knowledge and apply it in various ways using a primary technique called ratio analysis in which we extract the data and study what the ratios reveal by comparing the various results.
Psychology of TradingIf there is one certainty in trading it is this. The market will ‘mess with your mind’, and mess with your mind in ways you would not have even thought possible. In a nutshell this is what this module and the associated workbooks are all about. First to help you to understand why. In helping you to understand how and why you behave in the way you do, this then leads to the second part, which is in finding solutions and coping mechanisms. Part of the coping lies in the understanding, as with self knowledge comes self awareness.
PDF LibraryThis is where you will find a vast library of online PDFs that expand on the core modules and live webinars of the stock trading and investing program. In total, there are thirty-four PDFs. Every topic from bond trading and investing to the psychology of trading is covered in this comprehensive library of trading and investing education. They can be read as free-standing books or alongside the ten core modules which make up the stock program. So whether you are a day trader or longer term stock investor, it is all here. Your own personal trading and investing library.
Technical Analysis This is a foundational module in the volume price analysis methodology and which is the cornerstone not only of Anna and David's trading and investing approach for the last twenty-five years but also one that underpins the entire program. Using volume and price, we are able to see inside the market to apply the three laws of Richard Wyckoff and the principles of great traders who analyze volume in the same way, such as Richard Ney. Volume is the fuel that drives any market, whether a stock, ETF, future or cryptocurrency. For the market to rise or fall, effort is required, and that's volume. Understanding the relationship between volume and price gives us an unparalleled view inside the market, allowing us to follow the footprints in the same of the market makers.
Fundamental Stock Analysis and Financial StatementsFor many stock investors, digging into the primary financial statements of income, cash flow, and balance sheet is a bridge too far believing them to be too complex and the preserve of those with an accountancy degree. In this module, we aim to prove this assumption false, as I believe you do not need any particular qualifications to read and interpret such statements with confidence as we walk you through all of the key lines of data, explaining each in detail and what it means. Remember, these documents reveal the inner workings of the company, and therefore are of immense value to those prepared to spend the time understanding how to read and interpret the financial reports and data.
Order Types ExplainedWe are all familiar with the humble market order. Click the order button and the order is executed instantly. However, there are many other order types that deserve our attention and in this module, I walk you through those I think have a valuable role to play in any trader or investor's armory. Some are relatively straightforward, others are more complex for specific jobs, and my advice here is to build up your knowledge slowly by using one or two more regularly, or perhaps test them out in a demo account which is a useful tool for such purposes.
ResourcesThis is where you will find a vast library of resources we have put together for you to complement and support the program. Given the number of sites here, what we have tried to do is to group them into logical collections so that you can find what you are looking for more easily, and each has a brief description to provide a thumbnail of the site.
Volume Price Analysis Worked ExamplesThis is where you will find a video library of stock trading and investing examples applying the volume price analysis methodology covering all the timeframes from intraday to longer term. Whether you are a day trader of stocks or longer-term stock investor, you will find these lessons an invaluable resource in helping to build your knowledge and confidence in reading and interpreting the volume message at the live edge of the market.
Don't Fight the FEDMany stock traders and stock investors pay little or no attention to their central bank, often regarding them as unimportant or irrelevant, a classic mistake. As I have said in the title which I hope makes the point, don't try to fight the FED, because if you do there will only ever be one loser. To join them, you have to understand them, how and why they work in the way they do - you may not agree with it, and at times have a completely opposite view to theirs, but at the end of the day it is what they say and do which will prevail in the stock market.
Stop Loss Positioning and ManagementIn this module, we explain the many concepts, ideas, and approaches which can be applied to the topic of stop-loss positioning and management. This is a subject in its own right and one which attracts much debate and argument, but the bottom line is simple. Find what works for you and stick with it!
Stock CharacteristicsMany stock traders and investors enter the market with the mistaken belief that all stocks are the same.In this module, we introduce you to the twelve stock groups which David and I have christened the 'stock clock' and which will be referred to regularly in the webinars as a shorthand description of stock characteristics. Every stock is different, not only in its characteristics, but how it behaves in the market, and whether you are an investor or trader, these are key differences you need to understand and appreciate before diving into the market blindly.
A Complete Guide to Bonds & Bond InvestingUnderstanding bonds and bond investing, or how to invest using bonds is key to success for any strock trader or stock investor. As such this is an important part of the complete stock trading and investing program developed by Anna Coulling for day traders and longer term stock investors using volume price analysis. The bond market is the largest of the financials markets as debt underpins them all.
Leverage & Margin ExplainedLeverage is a powerful way to magnify gains allowing stock traders and investors with modest accounts to trade larger size, but it also magifies losses, whether as a stock trader or investor. Understanding and using leverage wisely is key to success on the complete stock trading and investing program with Anna Coulling.
Stock ScreenersStock screeners are a game changer, and in this module, David, I introduce them here. In the weekly webinars, as part of the XT program, we will take a deep dive into those currently available from the simple to the complex, consider both the technical and fundamental approaches and which to consider and when, as they are a crucial tool in sorting and filtering stocks fast in a myriad of different ways.
Relational Analysis As the name suggests, relational analysis is just that and from which we can interpret market sentiment by triangulation. No market operates in a vacuum - they are all connected by the barometer of risk, which in turn dictates the flow of money. From lower risk to higher risk when 'risk on' appetite prevails and in the opposite direction when 'risk off' appetitive is in the ascendancy. Risk and return go hand in hand, higher risk and higher return or lower risk for lower return. It is this see-saw which is reflected across all four capital markets and on which we focus in this module.
How to Use the IndicatorsIf you are looking to get started with the indicators fast, then this is the place to start, as it is a comprehensive library of videos put together by David to introduce and explain how to use the complete suite of tools and indicators for the stock trading and investing program. But underpinning everything is our volume price analysis methodology, for which we need volume and price.
