Technical analysis course
Everyone stares at charts. Almost no one reads them with intent. This is where you learn to.

You've watched the candles move. Now read what they mean.
Open any trading app and the chart is right there. Green candles, red candles, a line snaking across the screen. It looks like it should be telling you something. Most people watch it move, feel the pull to act, and click on a hunch.
Technical analysis is the difference between watching a chart and reading one. You see where buyers and sellers actually fought, where a move is likely to pause, and where a trade has no business being taken. It is a skill you practise, not a signal you follow.
What “reading with intent” looks like
- A candle isn't a colour. It's a story of who won that session.
- A level isn't a line you drew. It's where the market has turned before.
- A pattern isn't a promise. It's a bias, to be weighed with risk in mind.
- An indicator isn't a buy button. It's one more piece of evidence.
Chart tips are everywhere. Reading the chart is your check.
Social media is full of chart screenshots with a confident call attached. SEBI's own figures show how many people act on them, and SEBI's rules keep regulated firms like EQSIS away from unregistered tipsters.
56% turn to influencers
In SEBI’s 2025 investor survey, 56% of investors said they turn to financial influencers on social media for information.
62% act on what they say
About 62% of investors said they make some or most of their investment decisions based on influencers’ recommendations.
Since 2024 no tie-ups with tipsters
SEBI-regulated firms like EQSIS may not work with anyone who gives stock advice without registration, or makes return claims without SEBI permission.

A tip asks you to trust someone else's read. This module teaches you to make your own.
Read the chart, then plan the trade
Genuine chart-reading skill, built in order and practised on real NSE charts. It is not memorised from a slide.
Read candlesticks
Understand what a single candle, and patterns like the engulfing, doji and hammer, reveal about who is in control, and when that control is shifting.
See chart patterns
Recognise support and resistance, trends, ranges and breakouts, and patterns like the inverted bearish flag. Then know which are worth acting on.
Read price action
Judge momentum, pullbacks and exhaustion from price itself, so you can follow a move without waiting for an indicator to confirm it late.
Use indicators well
Apply a small, deliberate set, such as moving averages and RSI, to confirm what price already tells you, not to crowd the chart.
And the part most people skip: planning the trade
Reading the chart is only half of it. You also learn to turn a reading into a plan: where you would enter, where you would be proven wrong and exit, and where you would take your target off the table. All of it is decided before the trade, not in the heat of it. A chart you can read but can't act on with discipline is just a nicer-looking hunch.
On real NSE charts
Every concept is applied to real charts as you learn it, with individual assistance from your trainer, so your reading is checked and corrected while it is still forming a habit. You can also practise on our chart simulator. Taught in English and Tamil, online and in our Chennai classrooms.
The shared foundation, but not a system on its own
Chart-reading is the ground floor beneath almost everything a trader does. It is necessary. It is not, by itself, sufficient.
It powers intraday trading
Reading a day's move as it happens is technical analysis at speed. But intraday trading also needs an understanding of the options market and tight risk management. Charts alone won't get you through a fast market.
It underpins options
You can't judge a strike or a direction without reading the underlying chart. But option trading layers on the option chain, time decay and defined-risk structure. Technical analysis starts that work.
It helps investors too
Even a long-term investor buys better by reading the chart, waiting for a level rather than chasing a high. Technical analysis sharpens the when. What to own is a separate, fundamental question.
So technical analysis is the foundation shared by intraday and options, and a timing aid for investors. But a foundation is not a house. Charts read well and traded without risk management, meaning position sizing, a loss you decide in advance, and the discipline to sit out a bad setup, will still lose money. That is why we never teach chart-reading as a standalone trick.
The honest version: learn to read the chart, learn to manage the risk, and learn where the two meet. One without the other is only half a method. Read seven habits that protect your capital.
Try these concepts on NSE data
Reading sticks when you point it at a real market. Open our NSE stock screener and look at the latest end-of-day charts: the trends, the levels, the setups you're learning to spot. Then test yourself with the technical analysis quiz.
A core module within one complete course
We don't sell technical analysis as a separate class you bolt on. It is taught as a core module inside the one Mastering Stock Trading course, and deliberately in order. The psychology and risk-management foundation comes first, because chart-reading only becomes a method once you can manage the risk of acting on it.
From there, the same course carries chart-reading into swing trading, intraday and options. You learn with individual assistance: your trainer works with you directly, in English or Tamil, live online or at our two Chennai centres in Kodambakkam and Guindy. Meet the team behind EQSIS.
