The Coil Before the Break: How to Spot and Trade Long-Term Consolidation Patterns
In a market constantly chasing momentum and breakouts, long-term consolidation patterns are often overlooked—until they explode. This webinar introduces Barchart's Lateral Price Range screener, designed to identify stocks trading in narrowing price ranges, where lower highs and higher lows suggest volatility compression and energy buildup.
These setups can be ideal for two powerful strategies: generating income through neutral options trades like straddles and strangles during periods of reduced volatility, or preparing for explosive directional moves using tools like the TTM Squeeze and Bollinger Bandwidth. With well-defined risk levels and clear technical structure, consolidation patterns offer traders a unique edge in timing and positioning.
Whether you're focused on steady premium collection or anticipating the next breakout, this session will show you how to turn quiet price action into high-probability trades.
All Barchart webinars start at NOON CT (Chicago) time. Please adjust for your local time setting.

Protecting Profits: A Simple Guide to the Collar Options Strategy
How do you lock in gains after a strong rally in your favorite stocks without abandoning future upside potential? This webinar dives deep into the protective collar options strategy—a professional-grade options technique that limits downside risk while maintaining controlled exposure to the upside. We'll explore how to assess market volatility, identify optimal timing for implementing collars, and use Barchart's protective collar screener to help when protection is most needed.
How to Spot Buy Signals with eMACD - A Simple Guide for Traders
Struggling to pinpoint key turning points in today’s volatile markets? Join Barchart’s Senior Market Strategist and Chartered Market Technician, John Rowland, for a deep dive into the eMACD (Exponential Moving Average Convergence Divergence) screener—an enhanced technical tool designed to uncover bullish crossover signals and shifting market momentum. You’ll learn how the relationship between the 12-day, 26-day, and 9-day EMAs generates buy signals, and how histogram divergences can indicate powerful reversals.
The Truth About the Death Cross: What Every Trader Should Know
Join us for a focused webinar on the “death cross,” a widely followed bearish signal that occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day. We’ll explore its historical performance on major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, including periods when it preceded deeper bear markets—such as in 2000, 2008, and 2022—as well as instances when it triggered false alarms or whipsaws during volatile but ultimately bullish reversals.
Value Investing Philosophies: Graham, Buffett, Bogle, and EMH in Perspective
Join us for a dynamic webinar exploring four landmark philosophies that have shaped the foundation of value investing. We’ll begin with Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, whose focus on intrinsic value, margin of safety, and his famous “Mr. Market” metaphor offers timeless lessons in investor psychology. Warren Buffett, Graham’s most well-known protégé, evolved this approach by targeting high-quality companies with durable competitive advantages. We’ll also examine John Bogle, the father of index investing, whose push for passive, low-cost diversification changed how millions build wealth. Finally, we’ll contrast these with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which argues that markets fully reflect all information — a view that struggles to explain bubbles, crashes, and behavioral anomalies.
Unlock High-Probability Trade Setups: Master Fractals & Time Frames Like a Pro
Unlock the full power of Multiple Time Frame Analysis—a proven method that professional traders use to read market structure, stack probabilities, and reduce risk. This webinar breaks down how to analyze higher time frames to define the range and directional bias, use intermediate time frames to confirm the trend, and drill into lower time frames for precise, low-risk entries. You’ll also learn how the fractal nature of markets makes this top-down approach essential for consistent execution.
Traders Cheat Sheet: Your Secret Weapon for Smarter Trades
Barchart's Trader's Cheat Sheet is a powerful tool designed to give day and swing traders a structured approach to market analysis. This webinar will explore how professional traders use key technical indicators to enhance their decision-making process. We'll break down the essential elements of the Cheat Sheet, including floor trader pivots, stochastic readings, RSI, moving averages, daily highs and lows, and one-day standard deviation support and resistance levels. By understanding how these data points interact, you'll gain a clearer perspective on market trends, intraday price action, and potential trade setups—helping you prepare for the day of action to execute your trade plan effectively.
Trading Volatility: How to Use IV Rank & Percentile for Smarter Options Strategies
Implied volatility plays a crucial role in option pricing and strategy selection. Understanding IV Rank and IV Percentile helps traders determine whether options are relatively expensive or cheap, guiding them toward the most effective trades. In this webinar, John Rowland, Barchart’s Head of Trading Education, will demonstrate how to use Barchart’s IV Rank & Percentile page to assess volatility conditions and select the best trading approach.
Precision Trading with Bollinger Bands: Identifying Breakouts & Reversals
Bollinger Bands are a powerful tool for measuring price volatility and identifying high-probability trading setups. Developed by John Bollinger, this study plots two standard deviation bands around a moving average, contracting during low volatility and expanding when price action accelerates. Traders commonly use Bollinger Bands to spot overbought and oversold conditions, but they are equally effective in detecting breakouts, volatility shifts, and divergences between price and momentum studies. This webinar will explore using Bollinger Bands to confirm trend continuation patterns, filter out false signals, and anticipate market turning points.
How to Trade Futures Spreads Like a Pro – Unlock Powerful Market Insights
Futures spread trading is a powerful yet underutilized strategy that allows traders to capitalize on price differentials between related futures contracts while benefiting from lower margin requirements and reduced directional risk. By simultaneously buying one contract and selling another, traders can hedge positions, enhance capital efficiency, and exploit market inefficiencies. Whether trading Intra-Market Spreads (different contract months of the same market) or Inter-Market Spreads (related commodities like the Soybean Crush or Crude Oil Crack Spread), understanding how spreads work can provide a strategic edge.
Mastering Fibonacci: The Hidden Order in Market Movements
Discover how Fibonacci extensions and harmonic ratios shape market price action with precision. This webinar will dive into the mathematical foundation behind price swings, how Fibonacci-based projections reveal key reversal zones, and why institutional algorithms consistently react to these levels. By integrating Fibonacci proportions with classic chart patterns, traders can enhance their ability to spot high-probability trade setups.
Increase Profitable Opportunities with Barchart's Technical Opinion
Momentum and Trend Trading strategies help traders capitalize on strong price movements, but identifying these opportunities requires the right tools. Barchart's proprietary technical Opinion, Strength, and Direction indicators analyze market trends across multiple timeframes, offering insight into potential buy, hold, or sell signals. The Opinion indicator evaluates 13 technical signals, while Strength measures long-term trend velocity, and Direction assesses short-term momentum. Like a race car driver's instrument panel, these tools help traders determine whether a stock's price movement is accelerating, maintaining speed, or losing momentum.
Optimizing Trade Entries with the Futures Trading Guide
Discover how to optimize your futures trading strategy with Barchart’s Futures Trading Guide—a favorite feature among traders. This webinar will dive into the mechanics of this hypothetical moving average crossover system, designed to signal the start of long-term trends. While trend-following systems have inherent challenges, such as whipsaws and losing streaks, incorporating additional filters like RSI, Bollinger Bands, and short-term EMAs can significantly enhance performance.

Additionally, these stocks are filtered by Barchart's proprietary Trend Seeker® "Buy" signal, proximity to their 52-week high, and a 20-day average volume over 25,000, showcasing ideal candidates for traders pursuing momentum and trend-following strategies.
