Support and Resistance (Advanced) (FX Academy)

Support and Resistance (Advanced) (FX Academy)

Now you understand some basics about candle charts, you are ready to get to the heart of Technical Analysis and learn the tools required to identify the likely S/R areas at which to enter or open a position and the likely S/R zone at which to best exit or close it.

The first lesson in this course reviews price levels and areas where trends tend to start, pause, or reverse. We will show you how price levels are really narrow price bands or ranges, rather than specific prices, and how to find these on the charts. We will then discuss single trend lines and review up, down, and flat single trend lines.

You will then learn about channels, which are parallel trend lines that surround a rising or falling trend, and what the shape and angle of each channel can tell us regarding the price range. We will show how higher highs and higher lows define an uptrend and lower highs and lower lows define a downtrend.

Like simple trend lines and channels, moving averages (or MAs) are another kind of trend line that helps clarify the trend because they smooth out the gyrations of individual price or candle movements. We will examine the advantages of MA’s over simple trend lines and channels and their variations.

Narrative Economics (Coursera)

This course, Narrative Economics, is relatively short and proposes a simple concept: we need to incorporate the contagion of narratives into our economic theory. You can think of narratives as stories that shape public beliefs, which in turn influence our decision making. Understanding how people arrived at certain decisions in the past can aid our understanding of the economy today and improve our forecasts of the future.

After the Arab Spring – Democratic Aspirations and State Failure (Coursera)

Learn why the hope and excitement of the Arab Spring is gone, why so many Arab states are falling apart, why the youth are so frustrated, why there are so many refugees, and what can be done about it. The so-called Arab Spring appeared to end decades of exceptionalism and bring the Arab world back into the mainstream of global developments. The rebellions promised the return of politics and the reassertion of popular sovereignty against their corrupt and geriatric leaders. Much hope and flowery language greeted the young men and women who deposed their leaders and tried to build new, better societies.

Model Thinking (Coursera)

We live in a complex world with diverse people, firms, and governments whose behaviors aggregate to produce novel, unexpected phenomena. We see political uprisings, market crashes, and a never ending array of social trends. How do we make sense of it? Models. Evidence shows that people who think with models consistently outperform those who don't. And, moreover people who think with lots of models outperform people who use only one. Why do models make us better thinkers? Models help us to better organize information - to make sense of that fire hose or hairball of data (choose your metaphor) available on the Internet.
