Market analysis and trend identification methodology

Why Trend Trading Still Works in 2025

Markets might be faster and more volatile than ever. But underlying price behavior hasn't changed. Assets still trend. They consolidate. They reverse. The patterns may look different, but the logic behind them stays consistent.

Our approach strips away the noise. We're based in Bangkok, which means we watch Asian markets open while tracking overnight moves from the US and Europe. That cross-market perspective gives students a broader understanding of how trends develop across time zones.

You won't find get-rich-quick schemes here. Just structured learning that helps you build genuine skill over several months—potentially starting autumn 2025 depending on program availability.

How We Break Down Trend Trading

Learning to trade isn't just chart patterns and technical indicators. It's understanding context, managing risk properly, and knowing when your setup matters versus when it doesn't.

Structure Recognition

Before entering any trade, you need to see where support and resistance actually sit. Not lines drawn arbitrarily—zones that reflect actual buying and selling behavior over time.

Momentum Assessment

Trends don't move in straight lines. We teach you to gauge momentum shifts so you can tell the difference between a healthy pullback and an actual reversal forming.

Position Sizing Logic

Most people blow accounts because they risk too much per trade. We spend considerable time on proper sizing, stop placement, and how to scale positions without overextending yourself.

What the Learning Path Looks Like

Structured curriculum modules for trend trading education

Foundation Phase

Core concepts of price action, basic chart reading, identifying trends versus ranges. We start with daily and weekly timeframes because they're easier to read without all the intraday chop.

Strategy Development

Building your personal playbook. Not copying someone else's system—understanding principles so you can adapt them to your own schedule, risk tolerance, and preferred markets.

Execution Practice

Taking setups in demo or small live positions. Reviewing what worked, what didn't, and why. This phase often reveals the gap between knowing concepts and actually implementing them under pressure.

Learning Environment in Bangkok

Our location in Bangkok's Bang Kapi district isn't accidental. The city sits right between Asian and European trading sessions, which means students get exposure to how trends develop across different market hours.

Thailand's growing financial sector also means we're surrounded by traders, investors, and finance professionals dealing with real cross-border capital flows. That context informs how we teach—practical, internationally relevant, and rooted in actual market behavior rather than theory alone.

Classes may be offered starting late 2025, with exact schedules posted as we finalize instructor availability and cohort sizes.

Who Teaches This Material

Portrait of Henrik Lindqvist, Senior Trading Instructor

"I traded futures for eight years before teaching. The biggest mistake I see? People trying to predict tops and bottoms instead of riding what's already moving. We focus on the latter."

"Risk management isn't sexy, but it's what keeps you in the game long enough to develop real skill. I drill this into every cohort because it's where most traders actually fail."
