Trade Idea Generation Course
Develop a structured, professional approach to forming and evaluating market hypotheses with this comprehensive Trade Idea Generation Course. Designed as an educational programme, the course examines how macroeconomic context, market structure, sentiment indicators, liquidity conditions, and technical analysis are combined within professional analytical workflows. The focus is on building disciplined reasoning, contextual understanding, and repeatable analysis processes rather than trade signals, probability claims, or execution outcomes.
About This Trade Idea Generation Course
Across 24 professionally structured modules, this programme — created and presented by Sachin Kotecha — provides a structured educational framework for analysing markets and developing well-reasoned trade hypotheses. Learners are guided through a top-down analytical process covering macro regimes, thematic drivers, sentiment context, volatility conditions, liquidity considerations, and scenario construction. The programme is educational in nature and focuses on analytical structure and decision discipline rather than trade instruction or execution.
Why Trade Idea Generation Matters
Effective market analysis depends on the ability to organise information, assess context, and form structured views rather than reacting to isolated indicators. Trade idea generation, when approached as an analytical discipline, helps learners understand how different market inputs interact and how narratives evolve over time. This Trade Idea Generation Course explains how macro drivers, policy developments, sentiment conditions, intermarket relationships, and price behaviour are commonly interpreted within professional analytical frameworks.
What You’ll Learn in This Course
Across 24 structured modules, you’ll develop a repeatable analytical process for forming and evaluating market ideas:
- Interpret macroeconomic regimes, policy cycles, and economic narratives within a broader market context.
- Identify and assess thematic drivers, sentiment conditions, and positioning indicators as analytical inputs.
- Examine cross-market relationships and multi-asset context to support market understanding.
- Incorporate volatility, liquidity, and risk conditions into structured scenario analysis.
- Use technical structure and market behaviour to contextualise timing considerations within analysis.
- Construct and review market hypotheses grounded in evidence, logic, and structured reasoning.
By the end of this Trade Idea Generation Course, you’ll be able to apply a disciplined framework for analysing markets and developing well-supported market views within your own independent analytical process.
Who This Course Is For
This course is suitable for individuals seeking a more structured and professional approach to market analysis. It is designed for retail market participants developing analytical discipline, macro-focused investors refining their market interpretation skills, and financial professionals looking to formalise their analytical workflow. No prior macroeconomic or quantitative background is required.
What Makes This Course Unique
Rather than teaching specific strategies or trade rules, this Trade Idea Generation Course focuses on how professional analysts structure thinking and evaluate information. Learners explore historical market regimes, policy cycles, and behavioural dynamics to understand how market narratives develop. The emphasis is on building a repeatable, independent decision-making framework grounded in analysis rather than prediction or outcome-led thinking.
Analytical and Professional Development Outcomes
By completing the Trade Idea Generation Course, learners will strengthen their ability to interpret macroeconomic developments, sentiment context, liquidity conditions, and cross-asset relationships. The objective is to improve analytical structure, preparation quality, and consistency in market evaluation, supporting a more disciplined and professional approach to ongoing market analysis.
