Course Overview

The Advanced Technical Analysis course picks up where the Foundation Program ends. If you've mastered the basics — reading candlesticks, identifying support and resistance, and applying basic indicators — this course takes you into the deeper mechanics of how markets actually move. It is built around three core disciplines that elite traders use but rarely teach publicly: pure price action reading, Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and multi-timeframe confluence analysis.

Most intermediate traders plateau because they keep using the same surface-level tools they learned as beginners — without realising that professional traders and institutional desks are operating on entirely different frameworks. This course bridges that gap. You'll learn to identify order blocks and liquidity sweeps the way institutions enter and exit positions; you'll understand why your "clean" breakout keeps reversing; and you'll build a setup checklist that filters out low-probability trades before they cost you.

Every lesson is delivered on real Indian stock charts — Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, mid-cap equities, and individual NSE-listed stocks. There is no theoretical filler. Each concept is demonstrated live, tested on historical chart data, and then practised in real time during weekly chart review sessions. By the end of the course, you won't just understand advanced technical analysis — you'll be applying it on your own charts every day.

This course is the natural second step on Vianmax Academy's learning path. Graduates of the Stock Market Foundation Program progress here, and students who complete Advanced TA are fully equipped to move on to the Indian F&O Mastery Program or Algorithmic Trading with Python.

What You Will Learn

Read pure price action — identifying market structure shifts, break of structure (BOS), and change of character (ChoCH) on any timeframe

Apply Smart Money Concepts — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, and displacement candles on NSE/BSE charts

Execute multi-timeframe analysis — aligning weekly, daily, and intraday narratives to identify only the highest-probability entry zones

Recognise advanced chart patterns — Wyckoff accumulation/distribution, harmonic patterns, and Elliott Wave fundamentals

Use advanced volume tools — VWAP, Volume Profile (POC, VAH, VAL), and footprint concepts for institutional-grade confluence

Build a complete trading setup checklist that systematically filters trade candidates from watchlist to execution-ready

Conduct structured pre-market analysis each day — identify key levels, plan trade scenarios, and set conditional alerts

Back-test any technical setup on historical Indian market data and quantify its edge before risking real capital

Who This Course Is For

Graduates of Stock Market Foundation Program — The intended natural next step. You have your basics in place and are ready to go deeper.
Self-Taught Traders Who've Hit a Plateau — You've been trading for 6–18 months, understand basic TA, but your results are inconsistent. This course restructures your analysis framework.
Swing and Positional Traders — Those trading 1-day to multi-week holds on equities who want to dramatically improve their entry timing and reduce whipsaw losses.

6 Modules 30+ Lessons 6 Weeks 4–5 hrs/week 3 Projects

01

Price Action & Market Structure

Week 1 · 5 Lessons

5 lessons

1.1 Pure Price Action — Reading Without Indicators

Why indicators lag and what raw price tells you that they cannot. The philosophy of price action trading and why it remains the backbone of all other analytical frameworks.
1.2 Market Structure — HH, HL, LL, LH

Defining and identifying Higher Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Lows, and Lower Highs on any timeframe. How market structure is the foundation of all directional bias.
1.3 Break of Structure (BOS) & Change of Character (ChoCH)

The two most important structural events in price action. How to identify them in real time, why they signal the beginning of a new trend phase, and how to trade the retest.
1.4 Swing Highs, Swing Lows & Structural Levels

Defining significant swing points vs minor pullbacks. How structural swing levels act as decision zones and how to set price alerts at these levels in advance.
1.5 Range Markets — Accumulation & Distribution Phases

Identifying when a market is ranging vs trending. How to trade a range, how to avoid false breakouts, and how to position for the eventual range break.

Key Takeaway: You can identify the dominant market structure on any stock or index chart, define a clear directional bias, and spot the exact moment that bias is challenged or confirmed.

02

Smart Money Concepts (SMC)

Week 1–2 · 6 Lessons

6 lessons

2.1 Smart Money vs Retail Money — The Institutional Edge

How institutional players (FIIs, DIIs, large funds) enter and exit positions without revealing their hand, and why retail traders consistently provide them liquidity at the worst possible times.
2.2 Order Blocks — Where Institutions Left Their Footprint

Identifying bullish and bearish order blocks on charts. The anatomy of a valid order block, how to draw them correctly, and why price returns to these zones with high precision.
2.3 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) & Imbalances

What an imbalance in price delivery looks like on a chart. How to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), why price fills them, and using FVGs as precision entry triggers.
2.4 Liquidity Concepts — Stop Hunts & Equal Highs/Lows

Why equal highs and equal lows are targets, not resistance. How to identify liquidity pools, recognise a stop hunt before it happens, and profit from the reversal after liquidity is swept.
2.5 Displacement Candles & Mitigation Blocks

Recognising the powerful, one-directional displacement candles that signal institutional participation. Mitigation blocks — where institutions come back to "clean up" their earlier orders.
2.6 SMC in Practice — Live NSE Chart Walk-Throughs

Applying all SMC concepts on 5 live Nifty 50 stock charts. Identifying the complete SMC narrative on each: structure, liquidity, OBs, FVGs, and anticipated trade scenarios.

Key Takeaway: You can identify order blocks, liquidity pools, and Fair Value Gaps on any chart and understand why institutional money moves price to these specific levels — giving you a decisive edge over retail-only analysis.

03

Multi-Timeframe Analysis & Confluence

Week 2–3 · 5 Lessons

5 lessons

3.1 The Timeframe Hierarchy — Top-Down Analysis

How the monthly, weekly, daily, 4H, and 15-minute timeframes relate to each other. The top-down analysis framework: always trade in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
3.2 Identifying the Dominant Bias Across Timeframes

Building a weekly market structure map. How to quickly assess structure on 3 timeframes and arrive at a unified directional bias before selecting any individual setup.
3.3 Confluent Entry Zones — Where Multiple Signals Align

How to combine a higher-timeframe order block with a lower-timeframe FVG and a structural BOS for maximum-precision entries. Real Nifty examples with annotated confluence stacking.
3.4 Pre-Market Routine — Building a Daily Analysis Checklist

A step-by-step pre-market analysis routine: weekly bias review, daily level marking, lower-TF entry zone preparation, and setting conditional TradingView alerts before the market opens.
3.5 Avoiding False Confluences — The Checklist Filter

Why not all confluences are equal. How to score a trade setup objectively using a 10-point checklist and only take setups that meet a minimum threshold — the professional trader's quality filter.

Key Takeaway: You complete a structured pre-market analysis routine every trading day, arrive at a clear directional bias, and only enter trades where 3+ confluent signals align — dramatically increasing your probability of success.

04

Advanced Chart Patterns & Wyckoff Theory

Week 3–4 · 5 Lessons

5 lessons

The 5-3 wave structure, impulse and corrective waves, and how to map the current wave position on Nifty and Bank Nifty. Wave counting rules and guidelines for keeping count valid.
4.5 Pattern Failures — Trading the Failed Pattern

Why pattern failures are some of the best trade setups available. How to identify a failed H&S, failed breakout, or failed harmonic — and aggressively trade the opposite direction.

Key Takeaway: You can identify Wyckoff phases in current market action, trade advanced continuation patterns with precise price targets, and even profit when classic patterns fail — a skill set that separates intermediate traders from truly advanced ones.

05

Advanced Volume & Market Internals

Week 4–5 · 5 Lessons

5 lessons

5.1 VWAP — The Institutional Benchmark

Why VWAP is the single most important intraday level for institutional traders. How to use standard VWAP and anchored VWAP (AVWAP) for entry, exit, and bias confirmation on NSE stocks.
5.2 Volume Profile — Point of Control, VAH & VAL

Understanding the Volume Profile as a market map. Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and High/Low Volume Nodes as key decision levels.
5.3 Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)

Interpreting the relationship between candle spread (range), volume, and closing price to detect institutional buying (accumulation) and selling (distribution) before price confirms it.
5.4 Market Internals — Advance/Decline, Put/Call Ratio

Using NSE market breadth data (advance/decline ratio, new highs/lows) and F&O data (Put/Call ratio, OI build-up) as macro-level context for your individual stock trades.
5.5 Combining Volume Profile with Price Action & SMC

Building a complete multi-tool confluence model: VWAP + Volume Profile POC + Order Block + FVG. How these four tools together create the tightest, most defensible entry zones available.

Key Takeaway: You understand where institutional money has been active at a price level through Volume Profile and VWAP, giving every entry you take a structural, volume-backed reason — not just a pattern hunch.

06

Strategy Building, Back-Testing & Graduation

6.3 Refining Your Edge — What the Data Tells You

Interpreting back-test results: identifying which setups have positive expectancy, which market conditions degrade performance, and how to refine entry criteria based on your own data.
6.4 Live Chart Review Sessions (×2)

Two instructor-led sessions conducting real-time multi-timeframe analysis on Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty. Students propose trade setups; instructor reviews with full SMC + confluence commentary.
6.5 Capstone Presentation — Your Documented Trading Edge

Key Projects & Assessments

1

SMC Chart Markup Portfolio — 8 Annotated Charts

Select 8 NSE-listed stocks from different sectors. For each, apply the complete SMC framework on the daily chart: mark market structure (HH/HL/LL/LH), identify BOS and ChoCH events, draw all visible order blocks, annotate Fair Value Gaps, and highlight current liquidity pools. Write a 4–6 sentence market narrative for each chart summarising the institutional story visible in price. This project builds the muscle memory needed to see SMC concepts automatically in live charts.

2

Multi-Timeframe Trade Plan — 5 Complete Setups

Over two weeks, identify 5 trade setups using the complete multi-timeframe confluence framework taught in Module 3. For each setup, document: weekly bias, daily order block or FVG, intraday entry trigger, stop placement, target, position size (using 1% risk rule), and confluence score from the 10-point checklist. Track each setup to completion and record the actual outcome vs your projected scenario. Submit the completed plan with all TradingView chart links.

3

Capstone — Documented Trading Strategy with Back-Test Data

Hours per Week

30+

Total Video Hours

This course demands more active engagement than the Foundation Program. We recommend 4–5 hours per week: roughly 45 minutes of video content per weekday, plus a 2-hour weekend live chart session and 30–60 minutes of your own chart annotation practice. The back-testing exercises in Modules 5 and 6 require an additional 2–3 hours of independent work spread across Weeks 4–6.

Students who invest time doing the annotation assignments and back-testing between sessions will see dramatically better results than those who only watch the videos. The course is designed around this active practice — the videos alone are not sufficient.

4.8★ average rating

SMC & Price Action specialist

Our Advanced TA instructor is a professional price action and SMC trader who has been trading Indian equities and index derivatives full-time for over 12 years. Having studied under the original ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Wyckoff methodologies and adapted them specifically for the nuances of NSE and BSE market structure, our instructor brings a rare combination of deep theoretical grounding and daily practical application. The course curriculum was built entirely from their personal trading playbook — every concept, checklist, and framework is one they actively use in their own trading every week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need to complete the Foundation Program first?

Strongly recommended, yes. This course builds directly on concepts from the Foundation Program: candlestick reading, basic support/resistance, and basic indicators are assumed knowledge. If you're a self-taught trader with 6+ months of chart experience and you understand market structure, RSI, and moving averages comfortably, you can likely join directly — but we recommend contacting us first so we can assess your readiness during a free advising call.

What is Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and how is it different from regular TA?

Traditional retail technical analysis looks at patterns and indicators from a retail perspective — support, resistance, candlestick patterns, MACD crossovers. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) looks at the same charts from an institutional perspective — identifying where large traders placed orders, where they'll need to go to fill liquidity, and how they engineer price moves to take retail traders' stops before going the intended direction. SMC is not magic or a secret system; it's a structural, logical framework for understanding why price moves where it does. Many traders find that once they learn SMC, they can't "unsee" it on any chart.

Is this course relevant for intraday traders or just swing traders?

Both. The concepts taught in this course — market structure, order blocks, Fair Value Gaps, multi-timeframe confluence — apply equally to intraday (5-min, 15-min charts) and swing trading (daily, weekly charts). We teach all concepts on multiple timeframes so you can apply them to your preferred trading style. However, we do recommend that beginners focus on swing or positional timeframes before moving to intraday, as intraday demands faster decision-making and stricter discipline.

How long does the back-testing exercise take?

The back-testing project (minimum 30 trades) typically takes 3–5 hours spread across 2–3 sessions once you understand the process. We teach the back-testing methodology in Module 6 using TradingView's bar replay feature, which makes it straightforward once you've practised it once or twice. Students who invest time in the back-testing report that it dramatically changed their confidence — seeing their own strategy's statistical edge in historical data is one of the most motivating experiences in the entire course.

What happens after I complete this course?

Advanced Technical Analysis graduates are ready to move into Vianmax Academy's Indian F&O Mastery Program (options Greeks, strategies, expiry-day trading) or the Algorithmic Trading with Python course (automating the very strategies you've built here). Graduates also receive a 20% loyalty discount on their next course Enrollment and are added to the Vianmax Academy alumni group for ongoing market discussions and quarterly live chart sessions.

Is Elliott Wave and harmonic patterns taught in full depth?

Module 4 covers Elliott Wave foundations and harmonic patterns at a practical, applied level — enough to use them confidently as a secondary confluence tool. We deliberately don't go into the deepest levels of Elliott Wave theory (sub-waves, extended waves, alternation rules) in this course, as that could easily become its own dedicated 6-week programme. Our goal is to give you a working, practical understanding that enhances your existing analysis framework rather than replace it. Students who want to go deeper into Elliott Wave can ask us about advanced modules planned for later in 2026.
