Have you ever relied on RSI, only to see it stay overbought or oversold for far too long? Or used MACD, only to watch provide too many false signals ? Then feel utterly confused by the hundreds of indicators out there?

Conventional momentum tools like RSI and MACD have their limits. They struggle to adapt in volatile markets, fail to handle extreme price moves, and often give misleading signals.

But there is a solution for all these

From Seed to Success: The CORE of Trading using Time and Volume

Elias Johanssen (Eli Yans), will share how he has achieved success as a trader by leveraging real-time data directly from the exchange, with a focus on TIME and VOLUME analysis. Based on his book ‘APPLECORE: Trade with extreme prejudice’, Elias will explain how understanding the ‘timing’ of trades and how volume shapes the direction of price movements provides a strategic edge in the market. He will also show how significant price levels are formed at specific times, rather than being driven by market behaviour, offering an even more precise approach to identifying key entry and exit points. By analysing these powerful data points, traders can better predict price actions and make more informed decisions. This approach moves away from traditional indicators and instead focuses on raw data reflecting actual market activity, offering minimal lag and a deeper understanding of the forces that shape any market’s price.
