From 22 to 23 June, FXTM’s esteemed Head of Education Andreas Thalassinos was back in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam with his brand-new educational series ‘Trading with Elliott Wave Theory’.

The Elliott Wave theory is one of the fundamental concepts in technical analysis.

Traders can use these patterns to forecast potential trends and identify possible opportunities in the market. 

Seminar and workshop attendees enjoyed studying new techniques and strategies, including:

• Identifying the different types of wave
• Understanding reversal patterns
• Recognising entry opportunities in the market 
• Calculating price and potential take-profit targets
• Discovering Fibonacci retracements and projections
• Applying risk management rules
• Exploring crowd psychology and contrarian theory
