Pristine Trading Lab - Part II
One Week Advanced In House Training Program

An advanced Laboratory for Active Swing Traders, Day Traders and Investors
Who Have Taken Trading The Pristine Method® Part II

Elevating Your Understanding of Crucial Trading Principles
to the "Unconscious Competence" Level

Daily Lesson Schedule (This schedule may be modified to align certain topics with the market activities of the trading day. "Real life" examples will be used whenever possible.)

Day One - Focusing on Quality Patterns! Pristine has found that if experienced traders can focus only on the best of the best patterns, a significant amount of losses can be avoided. This may mean remaining sidelined a great deal of time, which is fine. Trading is all about trading high-odds patterns, with generous reward-risk, timed with the broader markets and internals. Therefore, the focus of this day (and really the entire LAB2 and the rest of your trading career), we will help walk you through a very objective, disciplined, and systematic trade approach using both technicals and various “questioning” exercises to help you filter out the very best patterns.

  • Course overview, objective, and introductions
  • Pristine Trade Question Worksheets (Pre-Trade and While in Trade)
  • Candlesticks Analysis
  • Support and Resistance and transfer of supply
  • Trend Quality and Bar-By-Bar Analysis
  • Interactive exercises and quizzes
  • Review Trading Plan

Day Two -
Focusing on Quality Trends! In Day One, we started the development of a foundation for a very objective, disciplined, and systematic trade approach using both technicals and various “questioning” exercises to help you filter out the very best patterns. At this time, through your Trading Plan, you should know exactly the trade patterns that you trade, and on what time frame. Today we build on that foundation by focusing on COMPELLING Trade Patterns.

Day Three -
We have concentrated our efforts on focusing on quality trends and setups for those patterns in your universe. We will build on that foundation by focusing on:
  • Gaps and Trading the Open
  • Moving Averages
  • Retracements
  • Market Internals
  • Multiple Time Frames

Day Four - We have concentrated our efforts on focusing on quality trends and setups for those patterns in your universe, including support and resistance, moving averages, retracements, and multiple time frames. We will build on that foundation by focusing on:

  • Quality Guerrilla Plays
  • Volume

Day Five - In the final day, our concentration will be on applying all concepts to live market conditions. Additionally, each trader shall be asked to create and present in the format of Pristine Chart of the Week a chart lesson illustrating any concept taught in the LAB.
