Day 2
Great class!
We continue to expand our toolbox by recognizing various candlestick patterns and chart patterns.
Recognizing these patterns give day traders great opportunity for profits.
But remember that a single pattern is not enough to produce clear signals. Make sure you fully utilize your toolbox for in-depth analysis by exploring multiple signals simultaneously!
Try to see if you can recognize some of the patterns we talked about in today's class in your favourite stock!
See you tomorrow!

Day 1
Great class today.
We went over what makes day trading unique and the risk involved in day trading.
We also stressed the importance of risk management and risk tolerance when considering day trade.
We started our discussion of technical analysis by differentiating it from fundamental analysis.
Our first tool in our toolbox is using support and resistance to make predictions.
We defined several ways to use support and resistance and how we can draw them on TradingView.
In the meantime, try to do some support and resistance analysis on your favourite stock!
See you tomorrow!
