STA Monthly Meeting May 2007
Guido reckons to meet around 20-25 people interested in TA every week. Most of these meetings end up covering DeMark, and very often with the same questions. The main interest is how to trade the signals and which signals should be more closely observed than others. The presentation will show how within TD Sequential and TD Combo there is more information than at first meets the eye. Delayed perfections, compressed setups, disqualified breakouts, clustering of signals and retracements will be covered, as well as suggestions on how to include in the analysis TD Differential and TD Camo. There have been other presentations on the DeMark indicators, but he hopes to present some new suggestions on how to use these amazing tools.
After completing an MBA in finance, Guido worked at Delta Forex, an Italian consultancy specialising in Elliott Wave analysis on currencies. In 1998 he started at Bloomberg, where his first task was to set up the TA group for the Analytics desk, supporting the European Head of Technical Analysis. In January 2005 he was promoted to Head of TA for the EMEA region.

Behavioural Finance and Trading Psychology
Why do traders make irrational decisions — even when they know better?
In this eye-opening online Masterclass, Kim Cramer Larsson, a seasoned Technical Analyst with over 25 years of experience, explores the powerful psychological forces that influence financial decision-making. Drawing on his deep expertise in both market behaviour and trading psychology, Kim offers a compelling look at why traders and investors often fall into the same traps — and how to avoid them.
The talk begins with a look at the trader sentiment roadmap, illustrating how collective emotion shapes market direction. From there, Kim delves into the fundamentals of trading psychology, exploring how emotions, the illusion of control, and our natural aversion to loss impact trading performance. He’ll also examine the subtle but critical role that positioning plays in shaping both perception and risk.
One of the central themes is “Pain & Gain – and an Inconvenient Truth,” where Kim explains why discipline in trading is so difficult to master, even for experienced professionals. The session wraps up with a thought-provoking look at the psychology behind market bubbles — from euphoria to collapse — and what these cycles reveal about investor behaviour
