Hi Simon, I attented your technical analysis course this weekend and would like to suggest some ideas. Most of the people who attend, like me, are novice investors. Now, its easy when you see a complete price chart to know what the trend would be like when you look at the patterns, stochastics, MACD, RSI etc. Why not think about the following.. Determine a 10 point check list with the students. Some probabilities are assigned which can always be calibrated with time. We then view the price chart to a previous date in time, and not the current price. With this in mind, we then go through the checklist and try and predict what the price is going to do. Then the next phase of the price chart is revealed we check how our predictions matched the actuals. We can then go through an iterative process to validate our check list. We can run a few interactive examples ( we should not name the company as people will catch on the pricing action which defeats what we"re trying to achieve) in the class as we know what the forward trend is based on the actual price but its a great way to inteactively try and predict the future. I feel that as students we'll derive much more value than just going through the theory. Happy to have a cup of coffee and discuss if you think that there is any value in this.
