Curriculum
Curriculum for market breadth interpretation
How our technical analysis training sequences breadth topics — from cumulative advance-decline work through participation checks used before committing to a view.
This page maps the teaching sequence used across the Market Breadth Interpretation Intensive and shorter workshops. It is not a software syllabus; it is the order of questions we practise in the room.
1. Price versus participation
Why an index print can mislead when few issues advance. Distinguishing a led market from a broadly owned one using dated Australian examples.
2. Cumulative advance-decline
Constructing and reading cumulative A/D lines, spotting divergences against index highs and lows, and avoiding overreaction to a single noisy day.
3. New highs, new lows, and extremes
Using new-high/new-low counts as a temperature check, including when extremes persist longer than textbooks imply.
4. Volume breadth
Up/down volume ratios, thrust-type episodes, and how volume participation can confirm or contradict price alone.
5. Oscillators and smoothed internals
Conceptual treatment of McClellan-style and related oscillators — what they summarise, where they lag, and how we refuse to treat them as standalone triggers.
6. Sector and leadership maps
Judging whether leadership is concentrated. Relates to our Sector Participation Seminar for traders who want this module in isolation.
7. A written reading framework
Assembling a personal checklist for pre-commitment review. Practised in homework and refined during the intensive’s office-hour call.
How to use this map
If you want the full sequence with homework and review notes, enrol in the intensive. If you need a single deep day on advance-decline construction, choose the workshop day. Private clinics sit beside the curriculum when you already know the language and need critique on your own charts.
