Curriculum
What eight weeks of chart craft actually covers
A transparent map of the Foundation Chart Reading Intensive — the same spine that shorter clinics compress when time is tight.
Foundation Intensive
Session spine
Each week pairs a focused teaching block with live markup. Homework stays on markets you already follow.
Week 1
Candlestick language without folklore
Bodies, wicks, and context. You practise naming candles by auction meaning rather than memorised labels, then redraw a week of ASX leaders with commentary stripped of hindsight.
Week 2
Swing structure and trend definition
Higher highs, failed swings, and when a trend is simply ranging in disguise. Students leave with a one-sentence bias template for three instruments.
Week 3
Support and resistance as zones
Thick bands instead of hairline prices. Mapping congestion from prior sessions and choosing invalidation at the outer edge.
Week 4
Volume as sponsorship, not decoration
Three volume checks that fit on a sticky note. Comparing impulse and pullback sponsorship on FX and equity charts.
Week 5
Classical patterns with cancel rules
Triangles, flags, and head-and-shoulders treated as hypotheses. Measuring targets only after writing the cancel condition.
Week 6
Failed patterns and reclaim trades
Neckline reclaims, false breaks, and why shallow right shoulders often warn early. Journal language for renaming hope as risk.
Week 7
Opening auctions and the first hour
Gap behaviour on ASX names, relative volume at the open, and when to treat the first thirty minutes as information only.
Week 8
Personal playbook and final review
Each participant presents five setups with entry, invalidation, and target rules. Two private chart reviews land in this fortnight.
