Build Real Skills in Investment Analysis

Our program isn't about shortcuts or secret formulas. It's about understanding how markets work, what indicators actually tell you, and how to make sense of the noise. We focus on practical analysis that you can apply immediately.

How We Actually Teach

Most investment courses drown you in theory. We start with real market situations and work backwards. You'll see why certain indicators matter during different market conditions—not just memorize formulas.

Our teaching approach came from years of watching students struggle with abstract concepts. So we flipped things. You'll analyze actual market data from the Australian Securities Exchange before we explain the technical details.

And here's what makes this stick: every concept connects to something you've already seen in the markets. No ivory tower theory that sounds impressive but leaves you confused when you sit down to analyze an actual stock.

What You'll Actually Learn

Six core modules that build on each other. Each one gives you skills you can use right away—whether you're managing your own portfolio or considering a career change.

Market Fundamentals

Start with how markets actually function. We cover price discovery, liquidity, and why certain stocks move the way they do. No boring textbook stuff—just what you need to understand before diving deeper.

Technical Indicators

Moving averages, RSI, MACD—but explained through real examples. You'll see when these work and when they don't. More importantly, you'll learn which indicators matter for different investment styles.

Chart Reading

Pattern recognition isn't magic. We'll show you what actually repeats in markets and why. You'll practice reading charts until you can spot key levels without overthinking it.

Risk Assessment

This is where most people mess up. You'll learn position sizing, stop-loss placement, and portfolio balance. The goal? Staying in the game long enough to succeed.

Market Psychology

Understanding your own biases matters as much as reading charts. We cover emotional discipline, common mistakes, and building consistent habits. It's the difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Real Analysis Projects

Final module puts everything together. You'll analyze real companies, present your findings, and defend your conclusions. It's challenging, but that's the point—you'll leave with actual experience.

What Past Participants Say

"I'd been trading on gut feeling for years. This program showed me what I was missing—proper analysis frameworks that actually work. Wish I'd found this five years ago."

"The instructors don't sugarcoat things. They tell you when you're making rookie mistakes and explain why. That honest feedback was exactly what I needed to improve my analysis."

Program Structure and Timeline

The program runs over twelve weeks with a mix of evening sessions and weekend workshops. We designed it for people who work full-time but want to build serious skills. Classes meet twice weekly, with additional practice time on your own schedule.

Our autumn 2025 cohort starts September 8th. We keep groups small—maximum 18 participants—so everyone gets individual attention. Click each module below to see what's covered.

Weeks 1-2: Foundation Building

+

We start by making sure everyone's on the same page with market basics. Even if you've invested before, this section fills gaps you might not know you have.

  • How different market participants influence price action
  • Reading order flow and understanding volume
  • Setting up your analysis workspace properly
  • Common terminology that actually matters

Weeks 3-5: Technical Analysis Core

+

This is where we dig into the tools. But instead of just showing you indicators, we focus on when and why to use them. Context matters more than formulas.

  • Trend identification without second-guessing yourself
  • Support and resistance that actually holds
  • Indicator combinations that complement each other
  • Recognizing when charts are giving false signals

Weeks 6-8: Risk and Portfolio Management

+

The unsexy part that keeps you alive in markets. We spend serious time here because this is where most traders fail—not because they can't analyze, but because they can't manage risk.

  • Position sizing based on your actual risk tolerance
  • Stop-loss strategies that make sense
  • Portfolio diversification without overdoing it
  • Tracking performance honestly

Weeks 9-10: Psychology and Discipline

+

Your brain works against you in markets. We cover the mental game—how to stick to your analysis when emotions kick in, and how to build habits that actually last.

  • Recognizing your personal trading biases
  • Building pre-market routines that work
  • Handling losing streaks without panic
  • Developing patience in fast-moving markets

Weeks 11-12: Capstone Projects

+

Final two weeks are all application. You'll analyze real companies, build investment theses, and present to the group. Gets intense, but that's when learning sticks.

  • Complete analysis of assigned securities
  • Building and defending your investment thesis
  • Presenting findings to peer review
  • Incorporating feedback and adjusting analysis
