Share Trading Foundations DVD Series

This  introduction course to share trading gives you the foundation for becoming a successful trader.

The full 2 Day Introduction to Trading course  on 8 DVDs, gives you 10 hours of quality Fintel education presented by Trader and Educator Robert Lennox.

Every member visits this workshop as an introduction to the Fintel method of learning. You are encouraged to repeat this workshop as many times as needed until the techniques become familiar and you no long need to ‘paper trade’.
All  DVD courses are available to members and non-members alike.

In this course you will

  • learn to identify the major concerns in share trading, and use that knowledge to increase your wealth
  • learn to read charts like reading a street map
  • learn to define trading opportunities, and know when they suit your plan
  • become  familiar with the different types of trades and when to use them
  • learn to recognize stock market patterns with ease and
  • acquire the competencies needed for share trading.
It is not enough to have knowledge, money, contacts and experience, you also need a healthy amount of discipline, confidence – and more knowledge (there’s no such thing as enough knowledge).
But the first thing you need to get clear is that Investing is for growth and long term security. Trading is a short term discipline for generating income. We mentor you in Trading.
This workshop reminds you of the disciplines you’ll need in order to make trading work effectively for you as a wealth creation tool.

Some of your learning outcomes

  • You will learn the value of the 2% rule (the cornerstone of any strong trading plan).
  • You will style your trading plan to suit your goals and attitudes.
  • You will be doing your own technical analysis using on-line data.
  • You will know how to trade more profitably.
  • You will be acting on the ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ signals.
  • You will be using technical indicators to confirm price action.
  • You will have strategies to increase your profits.
  • We will cover re-entry trades, stop loss, use of indicators, probabilities, flag patterns etc.
  • You will be using techniques to build your wealth, instead of using unreliable ‘gut feelings’.
By the end of this Introduction to Trading Workshop you will know how to test your tools, test your techniques, back test using historical data, paper trade, and develop your personal trading plan. That’s a strong platform for wealth building.
The more aggressive trading style will be covered later in your Advanced Trading Workshops, once we are all using the same terminology, you are familiar with the safety guidelines, and you have the level of knowledge necessary to handle that fast paced day trader workshop.
That’s why we encourage our members to repeat the Trading Foundation Introduction to Trading Course as many times as they like. We’ve found that there’s always something new to be learned at every session. The technique is called experiential learning. It simply means that you gain knowledge at your own pace, and that your mind is absorbing new information once the current input is digested and applied.
With the DVD series revisiting the courses has just become a whole lot easier for members and non-members alike.

Introduction to Trading
- Day 2 -

1. Review

The first session for day 2 is a review of the exercises that participants completed after day 1. To get maximum benefit from the session, students need to have completed the exercises for themselves.

2. Risk Management

The four main areas of risk for traders are identified. From there it is a matter of putting in place some strategies to minimise (and preferably eliminate) the effect of each of the risk areas.
This session looks in detail at:
  • The 2% Risk Management Rule
  • The [12.5% or 20%] Equity Exposure Rule
  • A simple way to reduce exposure to market sector crashes

3. Risk Management continued

In this session students are taken through the main tools and techniques to protect them against:
  • Problems with their trading technique
  • Major catastrophic events on the stock market
This gives rise to discussion about back testing and paper trading procedures as well as looking into the 4:2:1 Capital Allocation Rule to protect against major catastrophic events.

4. Flags, Pennants, Trading Plan and Final Instructions

During this final session flag and pennant patterns are introduced as both trading vehicles and as forecasting tools.
Traders must have documented trading plans. Some comments are made about how to construct a comprehensive trading plan.
Nobody should think that he or she can walk away from a two day share trading workshop and know how to put all the newly acquired knowledge into profitable action. The real journey is about to begin as the knowledge is used to develop the skills of a trader. Some ideas are put forward to help the students put in place some realistic plans for their development as traders.
