4 – Support and Resistance (22:42)
Support and resistance are the building blocks of how trends are created. It is the constant ebb and flow of supply and demand which creates levels of support and resistance that we can plan our trades around.

A moving average can help us quickly identify a trend as well as higher probability areas where we may consider entering a trend.

8 – Trend Alignment (29:59)
Trends are ambiguous without a reference to time. A stock may be in a longer term uptrend but is crashing on a shorter term timeframe. This trend confusion can lead to sloppy trading. Learn to focus on the best trade setups when trends are aligned!
9 – Short Sales & Short Squeezes (39:30)
Bear markets are a fact of life. If you want to do more than sit out a decline, this section covers what short selling is, when to initiate a short position, how to control risk and more.

13 – News in Trading (17:21)
It is said “If you trade on the news, you will one day be delivering it.” News can and does act as a motivator of volume and thus price change. Learn why it is more important to monitor the reaction to the news than what the news might say.
14 – Gap Strategies (30:39)
When prices fail to overlap from the prior days range, it forms a “gap” on the chart. Learn what causes a gap and how to trade them.
