Educational guides to help you read reports, understand valuation, and improve your market analysis.
Beginner Path · Start Here
New here? Work through these nine guides in order. They go from reading a chart, to Elliott Wave basics, to valuing a company and sizing a position.
01
Higher Highs and Lower Lows
How to read market structure through swing points and their sequence. Spot uptrends, downtrends, ranges and structural breaks as an objective description of price action, not a forecast.
How to actually find the next Support and the next Resistance. You want the nearest meaningful zone below or above current price, not the closest random line, and you will see why old Resistance can become new Support.
How to draw trendlines, test them and read a break. A trendline shows how fast price has been rising or falling, not where it's headed next. Includes a 14-pattern chart atlas and how to tell a momentum shift from a real reversal.
A beginner-friendly introduction to Elliott Wave Theory. It covers the 5-wave impulse and 3-wave correction structure, how to count waves, and the core rules that keep a wave count valid.
How to identify and trade the ABC corrective pattern, from the wave A selloff and the wave B bounce to the wave C completion, with invalidation rules and confirmation signals.
A structured DCA framework. Scale into positions across a minimum of three planned buy levels using Fibonacci zones and moving averages, instead of committing capital all at once.
How much to allocate to each position and how much cash to hold across market environments, including starter entries, max position size and cash reserve rules.
Every wave is built from smaller waves and is part of a larger one. Learn how wave degrees nest, how to tell a wave's role from its context, and how to check a count with rules, guidelines and invalidation levels, using one hypothetical chart at four zoom levels.
The two diagonal wave patterns that break the usual no-overlap rule. Leading diagonals open a Wave 1 or A move, ending diagonals signal Wave 5 or C exhaustion, and each comes with identification rules for its wedge-shaped channel.
How simple corrections combine into W-X-Y and W-X-Y-X-Z structures. See what the X wave actually connects, why a triangle usually closes a combination, and how to avoid mistaking ordinary chop for a real complex correction.
When to trim exposure and when to re-enter across the Elliott Wave cycle. Fibonacci-based rules cover reducing risk into Wave 3 and Wave 5 and resetting exposure on pullbacks.
How to read a 13F filing. Learn what institutions are required to disclose, how to spot new positions and exits, and how to use the data without over-relying on stale, quarter-old snapshots.
How to use 13F filings to build a superinvestor watchlist. Spot overlapping conviction picks across top managers and avoid the pitfalls of stale, quarter-old data.
An evergreen guide to interest rates, inflation, bonds, monetary policy and the economic cycle. It explains how the Fed sets rates, how that ripples through bonds and borrowing costs, and how to read where we sit in the cycle.
A cross-bank read of JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup Q3 2026 earnings. It shows what falling card losses, growing loans and rising corporate credit reserves say about the economy and the market.
