Speaker: Brent Penfold

Topic: Analysis is Good, Making Money is Better.

Learn how to build a robust mechanical strategy for profit Presented by Brent Penfold Trader, Advisor, Author and Educator. Most traders begin their journey with analysis—especially technical analysis. It’s an exciting world filled with endless possibilities, the promise of unlocking market secrets, and the thrill of discovery. But here’s the reality: while analyzing markets can be stimulating, challenging, and intellectually rewarding, it rarely translates into consistent profits. The pursuit of market secrets can become a distraction—one that takes traders away from their real goal: making money. While analysis is good, making money is better.

Topic: All about ETFs in Australia and their (monthly?) dividends

Over the last 14 months or so, since his last presentation on this topic, there have been several ETFs added into the Australian market for a total today of more than 390 ETFs. Most are available to trade on the ASX; but a few of the advertised ETFs can only be traded “manually” through a real-life broker – like buying and selling units in a managed fund. And an estimate of the total ETF Funds under Management (FUM) in early 2025 was at least AU$250 billion and growing – that’s quite a sum.

The ASX-listed ETFs are offered by several ETF providers. However, when you study some of these ETFs you will find that many are not very liquid. This might not be an issue for some investors, but it is an issue for many investors and traders who are keen to be able to close a position quickly when needed.

Furthermore, if you are looking for a regular monthly income, there are reputed to be around ten ETFs that pay monthly distributions. And some follow specific themes (such as gold, defence, rare earths, developing economies, etc.).

So, how do we find out which ones are “liquid”, tradeable, and investable? Which ones are safe to play with? What sort of thematics do they follow? Which ones offer monthly income payments? Who are the major ETF providers in Australia? Where can we go for more information?

In this session, Robert sets out to answer all of these questions about ETFs, and their dividend payments, and more. And he will give you the insights for more research.

Topic: Challenging the Myths you trade by.

A great trader builds a rule-based system with positive long-term expectancy —designed to deliver a statistical edge while surviving the worst short-term market scenarios through sound money management. But what if you could INCREASE that edge? This presentation will explore:

• Why traditional price-based indicators are only half the story.
• How to shift focus toward non-price market force data that reflects what's actually happening under the hood and moving price.
• How to model, interpret and integrate this data to answer the critical question: Who is really in control—bulls or bears?

You’ll see how years of research have led to the creation of a model and indicators that:

• Align price with underlying market force models that break the myth.
• Filter out low-quality trades,
• Focus on quality over quantity—because edge is amplified when price and market forces agree.

Topic: Using derivatives to leverage your view

The trading desk at TradersCircle specialises in two different kinds of derivatives that provide greater flexibility to short-term traders over equities. They provide a great way to tailormake strategies to suit both the trader’s view and their risk tolerance, whilst reducing the capital burden through leverage. On the night, we will aim to give a practical understanding to:

1) MINI Warrants - an easy way to start out for new traders. Provides solutions for both bullish and bearish positions and choice of leverage. Tradeable through the ASX not just on stock, but also a handful of core commodities, index futures, and currency swaps.

2) Options - the most flexible instrument on the ASX. Used to trade practically any market condition. Can be tailored to suit specifics around your technical analysis and risk management to make sure the strategy suits your specific needs.

Speaker: Keith Mundy

Topic: Why Is It So?  part 1

This is part one of a three-part series of presentations that look at reversals in the companies’ stock charts. Why do they happen, and can they be anticipated? It has been said that every reversal has been caused by a previous reversal, but is that true and can it be used to our advantage?

Join our meeting and see what will be revealed. Part one introduces this subject and shows a number of strategies employed. Part two expands the strategies. Part three completes the analysis and attempts to roll them all into a complete strategy along with an explanation of how to use the information to make money through trading.

Speaker: Darren Wilson

Topic: Why now is the time for you to prepare for the end of the Real Estate Cycle.

Understanding the 18.6-year cycle is vital to your financial future. All of the major booms and crashes in the stock market and property markets, bar none, have been caused by the cycle. In tonight's presentation, we shall look at precisely why the PSE team is beginning to guide and explain to our members that now is the time to prepare for GFC 2.0, or what we label the end of the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle.

It will cover why we believe this is the case, based on our unique research centred on the 200-year history of the real estate cycle in the US, and the immense personal benefit it will be for you to also have this knowledge.

Speaker: Robert Brain

Topic: Hands-on chart reading interpretation – real demonstration with interactive audience participation

How can we effectively use share price charts to analyse whether a stock should be bought or not? How can we interpret the likely future price action and the various chart indicators that are available?

Don’t forget that the price charts summarise the opinions and emotions of the real market participants, and every price chart has a story to tell.

In this session Robert will show a price chart for a security (a stock, or ETF or whatever) and invite interactive audience input from in-the-room meeting participants and the remote webinar participants. The real question will be: “Is this stock a buy?”

• Where to look for these patterns

This information will give you confidence in a strategy you can begin using straight away on your favorite market.

Topic: Book Review - Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets, by Stan Weinstein

For this session, Keith has chosen the very first book on Technical Analysis that truly made sense to him.

Speaker: Mike Smith

Topic: From AI to EA – how the door has opened for retail traders to join the automated revolution

Many people have spoken about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on price action now and in the future, but in terms of the opportunities for retail traders to be pro-actively involved in this revolution have been a little out of reach for many. The same could be said of the ability of Machine Learning as part of the AI world to dictate strategies and trading actions.

BUT the game has changed for retail traders. Mainstream AI platforms (even those your kids use!) are getting closer and closer to being able to read and evaluate market data. This not only enhances the ability to review performance BUT also identify patterns, calculate probability and suggest strategy.

NOW some are now at a stage where development of meaningful code for automated trading models is now at a level where it has moved from the “nearly there”, to working models that take hours to develop rather than days or weeks through the use a programmer (or years learning how to DIY) In this session, you will be shown examples of all of the above, so you can walk away with something PRACTICAL to take your first steps and we will demonstrate an AI developed model back test live, so you can see it for yourself.

Speaker: Kalvert Clark

Topic: Cycles and Forecasts

Until recently, Kalvert Clark often wondered if his eclectic view of life might be a problem. Frequently, he received complaints about the vast collection of books he had on a multitude of subjects and was asked on numerous occasions, "Why don’t you specialise?" This question perplexed him for years. However, clarity came when he listened to an audiobook titled "Range" by David Epstein. The book explores "How Generalists Triumph in a Specialised World" and made it clear that all of Kalvert's diverse interests had developed into a broad range of knowledge beneficial in any endeavour.
