Markay Latimer has made a name for herself as someone who can teach students how to become a trend trader or a momentum trader. A a trend trader is someone who stays in a trade two or three weeks, and as a momentum trader is someone who will get in and out of a trade in two or three days.

Markay is among the best when it comes to teaching technical analysis, the ability to examine the stock's past performance to predict future moves. She teaches students how to evaluate at a stock's price chart. Markay can look at a stock's chart and make the price patterns evaluations almost jump off the page. She understands that past performances have the potential to can give a legitimate understanding of how a stock may behave in the future. Markay uses moving averages to provide a better forecast for when to potentially enter or exit a trade and employs Bollinger Bands to spot developing and existing trends and identify the proper places to possibly get in and get out of a position. For even more examination, Markay uses additional technical indicators like CashFlow, ADX and Parabolic SAR, tools which can provide further evaluation of a stock's potential move.

Another hallmark of Markay's trading system is the proprietary scans that she has developed and sells as an additional product. By using her filters, Markay is able has the potential to spot trends faster as they develop, which permits her to show students how to get in on the move before it has already been played out. These scans work hand-in-hand with the Extreme Charts program that was developed by BetterTrades. Using the scans may help cut a trader's daily preparation time down considerably.

Although she knows all the strategies that are out there, Markay prefers to keep things simple in her own instructional classes. She sticks to teaching how to buy and sell puts. She prefers teaching a basic approach, a fact that comes out during her commentaries and the articles she writes.
