The Hudson Sessions
Just recently, we held the second installment of the Hudson Sessions — a series of talks dissecting the concepts presented in my first book, The Art and Science of Technical Analysis. If you missed it, fear not – you can catch up with the playback or access the slide deck to digest
Technical Patterns
In the inaugural Hudson Sessions, I shared a cool new visualization. Some of the viewers found it challenging, and a few even dismissed it as being impossible. I understand! Even with decades of daily trading under my belt, this unique perspective on market data has unveiled significant revelations. Before we
The Book
This past weekend, I hosted the first of The Hudson Sessions—a series of twelve talks, each focusing on topics drawn from a chapter of my first book, The Art and Science of Technical Analysis.
