Technical Analysis

Advanced Technical Analysis

Build an integrated framework for reading markets with charts: trend, momentum and volatility tools, candlesticks, support and resistance, moving averages, MACD, RSI and Bollinger Bands. Identify high-probability, low-risk setups, manage risk and develop mechanical trading systems through real-time exercises.

Energy Markets

Energy Trading & Derivatives

Understand how advanced energy swaps and options work and where they trade: the Greeks, delta hedging, pricing models, option spreads, volatility strategies and exotics such as Asian options and basis swaps. Apply them to commercial hedging and trading with real-time examples.

Agricultural Markets

Agricultural Trading & Risk

Learn to identify and manage outright price, basis and optionality risk across grains and livestock. Build a corporate risk policy, hedge with futures, options and swaps, and set up monitoring, margining and audit protocols, with real-time hedging examples.

Risk Management

Managing Financial & Commodity Risk

Design a robust risk management programme: define a corporate risk policy, set hedge objectives and strategies, measure exposure with daily mark-to-market, and implement, monitor and adjust hedges across financial and commodity markets.

FX & Financial

Foreign Exchange Trading & Hedging

Understand how currency exposures arise and how to hedge them with forwards, swaps and options. Compare the instruments, structure cost-effective hedges and apply them to treasury and trading decisions.

Bespoke
