We teach people to read charts, not predict markets

Since 2013, we've focused on one thing: helping traders understand what price charts actually show them.

Most trading education promises too much. We're different because we start with reality. Charts don't tell you what will happen next. But they do show you patterns, momentum shifts, and when buyers or sellers are gaining control. That's what we teach.

Started from watching too many traders lose money on bad advice

Back in 2012, I watched friends burn through savings following trading gurus who promised easy money. The whole industry felt broken to me. Everyone was selling dreams instead of teaching actual skills.

So I started small. Just me, a website, and a simple idea: teach technical analysis without the hype. Show people how to read support and resistance. Explain why certain candlestick patterns matter and why others don't. Focus on risk management before anything else.

It caught on slowly in Thailand's trading community. People were tired of flashy promises. They wanted straightforward education that respected their intelligence. By 2015, we had our first full cohort. Now we run programs twice a year, always keeping groups small enough that everyone gets real feedback on their chart reading.

How we actually teach this stuff

Technical analysis isn't magic. It's pattern recognition combined with probability thinking. Here's what makes our approach work.

01

Real chart examples from recent markets

We pull data from actual trading sessions in Asian and European markets. You'll analyze the same patterns professional traders saw that week. No textbook examples from 1985.

02

Practice identifying setups before we tell you the outcome

You get chart snapshots and mark your own support levels, trendlines, and potential reversal points. Then we reveal what happened next. This builds actual pattern recognition skills.

03

Weekly review sessions where you explain your analysis

Small group calls where students present their chart readings. We ask questions about your reasoning, not your predictions. This is where most people's understanding actually deepens.

Who's actually teaching

One instructor means consistent quality. You won't get shuffled between different teaching styles or conflicting methodologies.

Senior Technical Analysis Instructor

I've been doing this since 2008. Started as a prop trader in Singapore, moved to education when I realized I enjoyed teaching more than trading my own capital. Spent three years at a trading desk before starting sagacynerves in 2013.

What I care about: teaching you to see market structure clearly, helping you develop a systematic approach to chart analysis, and making sure you understand risk before position size. I don't care about: flashy win rates, perfect predictions, or pretending this is easier than it actually is.

Our next program starts October 2025. If you're interested in learning technical analysis without the typical trading course nonsense, reach out.
