Trend Analytics University

Learn the method before you trade it.

Trend Analytics University, or TAU, is the teaching side: recorded courses and private classes from the same educators who run the VIP rooms. It is sold separately from VIP.

Recorded course

Elephant's A–Z Trading Blueprint

A day trading course by Joyfulwood that starts from zero. Short lessons, plain language, and a library that keeps growing from member requests.

  1. Lessons 1 to 10

    The basics

    Reading candlesticks and volume, support and resistance, trend structure, waiting for an entry, position sizing and risk, trading psychology, a daily prep routine and order types.

  2. Lessons 11 onward

    Technical mechanics

    Reversal candles, moving averages and VWAP, Level 2, handling the market open, spotting dilution risk and trading bull flags.

  3. Community lessons

    Topics members ask for

    Members submit and vote on questions, and Joyfulwood records a dedicated lesson on the most requested. Recent ones cover charting levels in detail and stop-loss raids.

  4. Ongoing

    New lessons weekly

    The course page says lessons are added every week, and a membership covers the whole library including future additions.

  5. The instructor

    Joyfulwood

    Josh lives in New Brunswick, Canada, and spent nearly 20 years in call-centre tech support before moving into trading with Trend Analytics. He teaches with humour and comparisons to games, food and TV.

Private classes

One educator, one student, your questions.

For a closer look at one educator's strategy, or a lesson built around a specific gap, you can book them privately.

Ask about a private class

  1. A lesson plan made for you

    Classes are tailored to your level and what you want to work on, from beginner to advanced.

  2. Live Q&A on Zoom

    You work through questions with the educator directly, and keep lifetime access to the recordings of your own classes.

  3. Six educators to choose from

    TDN, Tux and Diana teach small caps. Mike and Sulker teach options. Joyfulwood is also available.

  4. Priced per booking

    Private classes are a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Price, number of classes and length are agreed with the educator. After you book, someone from the team reaches out on Discord, usually within one to three business days.

Start small
