Dow and the Decennial Cycle: Article by David McMinn in Market Technician magazine

Grand Gala Dinner goes with a bang: A quick re-cap for those who couldn’t make it
For some time now, every year in early September the STA books the National Liberal Club for a formal sit-down 3-course dinner – because Liberal Party members are away for their annual conference – and we have the club pretty […]
Tim Parker MSTA – the Subjective Technical Analyst: If you missed the talk, read the article

Charting the Markets with IG TV: Patricia Elbaz goes to school
I think that Patricia Elbaz MSTA just might be IG TV host Jeremy Naylor’s teacher’s pet. In his own words: ‘’through an interesting summer…and a difficult time ahead, it’s back to school’’ – especially for Patricia who lectures at several […]
Speed Resistance Lines: A new one on me, and a variation on a theme
One of the problems of having my email address plastered all over the place, is that I get a lot of unsolicited mail. There is an upside though, as sometimes I get very nice letters from people I don’t know. […]
It’s all in the price – as every technical analyst knows: But how good is your arithmetic?
‘’A basic premise of the technical approach is that market action discounts everything: all that is known, or can be known, is ‘in the price’. Technical analysis is therefore not concerned with the underlying value of a security, but with […]

Technical Analysis by Clive Lambert MSTA: A journey through a career in the City using Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis is the study of the markets using price action and data. That’s probably the simplest way to describe it, but what does that mean? To explain this I thought I’d take you through my own journey; my 30+ […]
Gresham, Gresham Street, Gresham College and the Royal Exchange: Familiar names to bankers
Adding to our recent blogs about central banks and bankers, and there’ll be more fun when Madame Christine Lagarde takes the helm at the European Central Bank, I wanted to give you a peek into the controversial and fabulous life […]
A peek inside The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street: Mini-series on BBC2 TV
As we mentioned last week, the Bank of England’s been avidly working on their social media profile, partly as a consequence, which they still won’t admit to, of their handling of the finances of the economy this century, which have […]

The Old Lady banks on Alan Turing: The new face of the (polymer) £50 note

Another warm evening for the JP Morgan Challenge: Didn’t stop Team STA from raising money for Cancer UK
Rocking up in time – appropriately on the 4th of July – at the Prince Albert pub by Battersea Park, ready to perform my cloakroom attendant duties, Mark Tennyson d’Eyncourt and Rajan Dhall had already nabbed the best table in […]
When oscillators lie: We often call it divergence
As John Maynard Keynes famously said, ‘’the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent’’. Markets can also, unlike leopards, change their spots, moving from crushingly boring and lethargic for months to quite the raging tiger. This has […]
Joshua Mahony on IG TV: Charting the Markets on a busy Friday in June
Friday’s regular Charting the Markets slot on Friday the 21st June was covered by IG’s in-house analyst Joshua Mahony. Taking a broad sweep through indices, foreign exchange and commodities, he saved the best until the end. Gold, where the ratio […]
Do you know Aroon? I do, but not very well
I’m not one to promote or push one form or another of technical analysis – especially when it comes to oscillators. I find the choice of what to use – and what’s rubbish – can lead to heated arguments. Personally, […]

Tom Hicks and Robert Carver’s ‘fireside chat’: In June and no fireplace
The two have a lot in common, as do I, who also switched between banking and a commodity broker who ran one of the first hedge funds – with a stint of proprietary trading along the way. However, unlike Robert, […]
