Dave Landry published his book Dave Landry on Swing Trading in 2000, Dave Landry made public and began teaching one of his best strategies–the Bow Ties Strategy.

Among other things, Dave Landry will teach you his best approach for properly identifying Bow Ties, picking the best Bow Tie patterns to trade, “cheating” and entering before the official Bow Tie signal, and how to make Bow Ties more powerful by combining them with other patterns such as First Thrusts and Reversal Gaps.

Also, I will show you how to apply the Bow Ties Strategy to stocks in a variety of time frames and how you can use it to trade different markets such as E-minis, Forex and ETFs.

How This Course Is Laid Out

Dave Landry’s Bow Tie course is organized into three parts. First, Dave Landry will take you through the basics of my overall approach to trading. Then, Dave Landry will teach you about Transitional Patterns. Next, you wil learn the Bow Tie Strategy and its accompanying rules. And finally, I’ll teach you how to trade Bow Ties in a variety of real world situations.

The main focus of my course is on new ways to use Bow Ties. Dave Landry also want to help people who already use Bow Ties to improve their results using the basic strategy.
Part I: A Swing Trading Primer. Before we get deep into Bow Ties, I will lay the groundwork for you by walking you through the basics of swing trading. I will explain to you my method of swing trading and how it allows you to enter strong trends and trade short-term moves. I also cover basic stop placement and money management techniques.

Part II: The Importance Of Transitional Setups. Then, I will focus on Transitional Setups, which is a powerful category of swing trading that includes my Bow Tie Strategy. I will explain the mechanics of transitional setups and how they allow you to capture high-momentum moves that occur at the beginning of trends.

Part III: Bow Ties, My Favorite Transitional Setup Strategy. Next I will teach the Bow Tie Strategy and its basic rules. You will learn how to set up the moving average indicators that make up the Bow Tie and then rules for entering and exiting Bow Ties. From there, I will take you through a series of in-depth real-world simulations. Each one of these will explore, bar-by-bar, different dimensions of Bow Tie trading. As a whole, they are designed to deepen your understanding of how you can best use this versatile strategy. You’ll hear my voice as I explain my observations about the market action you’ll be viewing. Make sure you have your computer speaker hooked up and set at an audible volume.

Technical Analysis Day trading

How to understand about technical analysis: Learn about technical analysis

In finance, technical analysis is an analysis methodology for forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume.
Behavioral economics and quantitative analysis use many of the same tools of technical analysis, which,
being an aspect of active management, stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory.
The efficacy of both technical and fundamental analysis is disputed by the efficient-market hypothesis, which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable.
