Prof. Hank Pruden - Wyckoff Law of Cause and Effect and the Use of Point-and Figure Charts
In his second presentation, Prof. Pruden will cover the Wyckoff Law of Cause and Effect, and the Use of Point-and-Figure Charts. Wyckoff’s Law of Cause and Effect provides insight into the extent of the upcoming movement, either up or down. In order to have an effect you must first have a cause; the effect will be in direct proportion to the cause. Point-and-figure charts of the Dow Jones Industrials will be used to show how counts can be made to project the extent of its effect.

Daryl Guppy – Behavioural Trading Solutions
Markets have changed behaviour after the Global Financial Crisis. The market is created by emotional behaviour, which in turn creates behavior patterns in price activity. Behavioural analysis of the market moves beyond the simple tricks revealing peoples inability to make the best rational mathematical decision in artificial experiments. Daryl will explain that by developing a better understanding of the behavioural drivers of the market, you have a powerful tool to identify high probability trading opportunities.

David Chia - The Importance of Having and Utilising a Structured Process in the Money Management Game
Virtually every professional funds management business promotes itself on the basis of having a proprietary process for screening, identifying, segregating and analysing the seemingly boundless pools of financial data. How each one goes about it is perhaps not as vital as the fact that they all apply a certain degree of rigour and discipline to the analytics. In the realm of the private investor and trader, the process is often more relaxed and may be lacking in consistency and structure. In this presentation, David will share with you his experience in running a money management business and some of the more important due processes involved, the benefits of a structured approach and also some of the drawbacks.
