Technical Analysis (FX Academy)

Offered by FX Academy,

Forex technical analysis encompasses the use of some of a range of indicators, including momentum indicators. In this course, we will learn how moving averages can be adapted to serve as momentum indicators, as well as marking mobile support and resistance. With Forex technical analysis, we can plot multiple moving averages of different time spans on our charts, and can create a hybrid momentum indicator, the moving average crossover. We will review the two types of moving average crossovers.
The first type of moving average crossover is price crossing over or under a moving average.
The second type of moving average crossover is a shorter-duration moving average crossing over a longer, slower moving averags. Using Forex technical analysis, we will learn under what conditions a moving average crossover signals a possible momentum and trend change.
Finally, we will talk about Momentum Indicators. These are used by Forex traders, usually to resolve certain kinds of common trader dilemmas that other support/resistance indicators can’t answer. They also give traders a better idea of future price movements.

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.

Model Thinking (Coursera)

Economics & Finance Humanities

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.
