Topic: Analysis is Good, Making Money is Better.

Learn how to build a robust mechanical strategy for profit Presented by Brent Penfold Trader, Advisor, Author and Educator. Most traders begin their journey with analysis—especially technical analysis. It’s an exciting world filled with endless possibilities, the promise of unlocking market secrets, and the thrill of discovery. But here’s the reality: while analyzing markets can be stimulating, challenging, and intellectually rewarding, it rarely translates into consistent profits. The pursuit of market secrets can become a distraction—one that takes traders away from their real goal: making money. While analysis is good, making money is better.

Topic: Using derivatives to leverage your view

The trading desk at TradersCircle specialises in two different kinds of derivatives that provide greater flexibility to short-term traders over equities. They provide a great way to tailormake strategies to suit both the trader’s view and their risk tolerance, whilst reducing the capital burden through leverage. On the night, we will aim to give a practical understanding to:

1) MINI Warrants - an easy way to start out for new traders. Provides solutions for both bullish and bearish positions and choice of leverage. Tradeable through the ASX not just on stock, but also a handful of core commodities, index futures, and currency swaps.

2) Options - the most flexible instrument on the ASX. Used to trade practically any market condition. Can be tailored to suit specifics around your technical analysis and risk management to make sure the strategy suits your specific needs.

Speaker: Keith Mundy

Topic: Why Is It So?  part 1

This is part one of a three-part series of presentations that look at reversals in the companies’ stock charts. Why do they happen, and can they be anticipated? It has been said that every reversal has been caused by a previous reversal, but is that true and can it be used to our advantage?

Join our meeting and see what will be revealed. Part one introduces this subject and shows a number of strategies employed. Part two expands the strategies. Part three completes the analysis and attempts to roll them all into a complete strategy along with an explanation of how to use the information to make money through trading.

Speaker: Darren Wilson

Topic: Why now is the time for you to prepare for the end of the Real Estate Cycle.

Understanding the 18.6-year cycle is vital to your financial future. All of the major booms and crashes in the stock market and property markets, bar none, have been caused by the cycle. In tonight's presentation, we shall look at precisely why the PSE team is beginning to guide and explain to our members that now is the time to prepare for GFC 2.0, or what we label the end of the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle.

It will cover why we believe this is the case, based on our unique research centred on the 200-year history of the real estate cycle in the US, and the immense personal benefit it will be for you to also have this knowledge.

Speaker: Robert Brain

Topic: Hands-on chart reading interpretation – real demonstration with interactive audience participation

How can we effectively use share price charts to analyse whether a stock should be bought or not? How can we interpret the likely future price action and the various chart indicators that are available?

Don’t forget that the price charts summarise the opinions and emotions of the real market participants, and every price chart has a story to tell.

In this session Robert will show a price chart for a security (a stock, or ETF or whatever) and invite interactive audience input from in-the-room meeting participants and the remote webinar participants. The real question will be: “Is this stock a buy?”

• Where to look for these patterns

Topic: Book Review - Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets, by Stan Weinstein

For this session, Keith has chosen the very first book on Technical Analysis that truly made sense to him. It’s a highly regarded read; one he believes every technical analyst should go through at least once - if not several times. The book covers core principles and strategies for navigating and profiting in the markets, making it valuable for both newcomers and seasoned traders.

Speaker: Alan Hull

Markets operate in two modes….linear and non-linear. Alan’s talk on understanding financial markets as complex adaptive systems explains why this is so and looks at which trading techniques apply to which mode. Alan’s talk will also include his new CFD trading system and the Hull Moving Average Momentum Oscillator. A Q&A session will follow the presentation and full participation is encouraged.

Speaker: Mike Smith

Topic: From AI to EA – how the door has opened for retail traders to join the automated revolution

Many people have spoken about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on price action now and in the future, but in terms of the opportunities for retail traders to be pro-actively involved in this revolution have been a little out of reach for many. The same could be said of the ability of Machine Learning as part of the AI world to dictate strategies and trading actions.

BUT the game has changed for retail traders. Mainstream AI platforms (even those your kids use!) are getting closer and closer to being able to read and evaluate market data. This not only enhances the ability to review performance BUT also identify patterns, calculate probability and suggest strategy.

NOW some are now at a stage where development of meaningful code for automated trading models is now at a level where it has moved from the “nearly there”, to working models that take hours to develop rather than days or weeks through the use a programmer (or years learning how to DIY) In this session, you will be shown examples of all of the above, so you can walk away with something PRACTICAL to take your first steps and we will demonstrate an AI developed model back test live, so you can see it for yourself.

Speaker: Kalvert Clark

Topic: Cycles and Forecasts

Until recently, Kalvert Clark often wondered if his eclectic view of life might be a problem. Frequently, he received complaints about the vast collection of books he had on a multitude of subjects and was asked on numerous occasions, "Why don’t you specialise?" This question perplexed him for years. However, clarity came when he listened to an audiobook titled "Range" by David Epstein. The book explores "How Generalists Triumph in a Specialised World" and made it clear that all of Kalvert's diverse interests had developed into a broad range of knowledge beneficial in any endeavour.

Topic: Are Stocks Near Their High? Developing Answers

Stocks are at all-time highs and the media is asking the question – are they overvalued? Can they continue to rise from here? This is a question Matthew will address and look at several different factors and indicators to put the entire picture together and see if we can develop a clear answer.
