Download the exercises, solve them without obligation and make sure to take notes where You're unsure. We'll solve it together in the next lesson.
- Question 1: technical strengths/weaknesses + conclusion (Carrefour and Datadog, weekly charts).
- Question 2: support and resistance zones on a Heikin Ash chart (Seagate, week).
- Additional chart: Azelis (day) — ideal for making “frequency & scale” concrete.
Tip: take 2 screenshots: (1) your analysis (zones/lines), (2) your decision (what you do/don't do and why).
In this lesson, we'll consciously switch between displays, frequencies, and scales. This is easiest to do in a platform where you can quickly switch and save markers. If you don't have software yet, TransStock offers a 14-day free trial (great for practicing right away).

The Dutch and French subtitles are automatically generated and may contain slight inaccuracies, especially in technical terms.
1) Review of previous mini-course - 07:00
Core: Technical analysis starts with structure; tools confirm what the price already shows.
- Structure first: zones, support/resistance, channels and trendlines remain the basis.
- Averages as confirmation: oa golden cross en dead cross read in context.
- Indicators fill the gap that price alone sometimes leaves: supporting direction, strength and timing.
- Divergence/convergence: negative divergence = sell signal, positive convergence = buy signal.
2) Line and bar display - 11:25
Core: How you look at the course determines what you see — simplicity in the line, detail in the bar.
- Line graph: single closing price — pure and simple, quickly see structure.
- Disadvantage line: none open / high / low visible; volatility “disappears”.
- Gaps: on a line chart you’ll easily miss them — on a bar they jump out.
- Bar chart: per period visible what “really happened” (open, high, low, close) — also per week/month.
3) Candle display - 21:28
Core: A candle shows at a glance who was in control — buyers or sellers.
- Candle = body + shadow: lowest price at the bottom, highest price at the top; open and closed in the body.
- Checklist: colour + size & color of the body + length of shadows + learn to count.
- Benefit: very visual, strongly for pattern recognition and a quick reading of buying/selling pressure.
- Days of doubt: doji (no body) jumps out after strong ascent/descent.
- Disadvantage: Candles provoke emotion — no pattern without the context of your analysis.
4) Heikin Ashi & Equivolume - 12:51
Core: Heikin Ashi shows the pace of the trend, Equivolume shows where the weight is.
- Heikin Ash: does not show the pure rate, but the average pace off the course.
- Filter effect: formula also uses the previous period → trend is calmer en clearer.
- Practical: no entry tool; well one trend confirmation tool (small candles = doubt).
- Equivolume: on one candle you see price and volume; more volume = wider candle.
- Pros/cons: you see activity immediately; cons: can appear busy and reacts strongly to the selected period.
5) Autonomous course displays - 06:03
Core: Autonomous charts filter time and reveal only meaningful price movements.
- Autonomous = less dependent on time: the graph only moves when the price moves enough.
- Renko: only new "bricks" with sufficient price movement → noise disappears, consolidations are becoming clear.
- Downside: tijd speelt geen rol → less suitable for short-term timing.
- kagi: line that of thickness changes in trend reversal — trend changes stand out.
- Point & Figure (X/O): pure trend system; also helps price targets to estimate (different way of thinking).
6) Frequencies, scales & closing remarks - 18:36
Core: The same course tells a different story at different frequencies and scales — direction first, timing second.
- Top-down principle: analyze from year → month → week → day (direction first).
- Daily frequency: ~250 candles per year — strong balance between detail and overview.
- Week/month: filter and the big cycle recognize (longer term).
- Quadrants: Quick visual check over multiple periods (where is the price “on the chart”?)
- Scale: arithmetic vs logarithmic — log makes percentage movements fairly comparable.
Tip: Use the table of contents at the top to quickly jump to the correct chapter.

In this lesson one skill is central: you consciously choose how You're looking at the course. Those who want to apply this in a structured and independent manner can explore this further.

Finally – some perspective
Technical analysis is essentially about risk management and better decision-making. Sometimes it helps to put that into concrete terms.
A mistake of 2% on a portfolio of € 50.000 means a loss of € 1.000.
That amount is equivalent to several years of access to professional analysis tools. In that sense, software like TransStock can be seen as a insurance against avoidable errors, not as a cost in itself.
Anyone who wishes to apply the methodology from these lessons independently and consistently can test TransStock Professional for 14 days without obligation.
