Lakeshore Technical Analysis, LLC utilizes best in class methodologies to analyze and forecast any freely traded market or security.
With a documented ability to define risk and reward through price objectives, support and resistance levels and time targets, Lakeshore TA was created to bring actionable, value-added analysis to investment professionals.
As a client of my technical service, managers gain access to non-correlated market analysis that can be used by itself or in conjunction with their favored investment approach.
Traditional money managers may receive the greatest value as they will now have access to the “when?” question that fundamentals struggle to answer.
Managing risk and avoiding large losses are the driving forces behind successful money management. I know this intimately as I have been a portfolio manager and market strategist since 2005 in equity, commodity, forex and debt markets, managing money in a variety of styles including long/short and global macro.
During the market meltdown of 2008 to 2009, I became a first-hand witness to the herding behavior that periodically affects all financial markets. This experience, and the wake of destruction left in its path, drove me to become an expert in technical analysis.
After more than 10 years of study and application, I have developed a disciplined approach to melding the traditional and quantitative methods and tools that excel at market analysis: multiple time frame analysis, market geometry, Elliott Wave Principle, custom momentum oscillators, relative strength and cycles.

Why should investors care about technical analysis?
It ultimately boils down to risk management. Technical Analysis offers valuable and timely information that is only revealed through price action, and therefore, unavailable to traditional fundamental analysis.
Where does technical analysis excel?
In freely traded, active markets with robust volume. These characteristics yield actionable information and signals. Global equity indices, large cap stocks, forex, commodities and global bonds are solid candidates for effective technical analysis.
How do you respond to individuals that question the worth of technical analysis?
Cynics have either not put in the required time to fully investigate technical analysis or have not had the opportunity to work with a highly skilled technician. Technical analysis offers complimentary, non-redundant information that allows investors to make better informed, well-rounded decisions.
Consider this, the market is rallying out of a three-week consolidation and you are long. You ask yourself, “is this rally the start of a sustained trend or is it an opportunity to sell into strength before a painful correction?” The answer to this question lies in multiple time frame analysis (MTA).
MTA is an investment filter that can and should be applied to every freely traded market. I argue it should be the standard for analyzing price action. The concept is simple. Markets are fractal in nature. A small rally requires a small correction. A big rally requires a big correction. Price action must be thought of in terms of “degree”. This concept is applied to price throughout the Elliott Wave Principle. MTA is a manifestation of this fractal concept, but its application is to an overarching investment methodology as opposed to a single technique. At its best, MTA will keep you two steps ahead of the market. At its worst, it will help to keep you on the right side.
A trader is not a hedge fund manager. A deep value investor is not a trend follower. The different players in any one market create a supply/demand picture that can be measured by analyzing multiple time frames. A daily chart maps the actions of short-term traders and forecasts the upcoming 1-3 weeks. A weekly chart captures the behaviors of active managers and provides information on the next 1-4 months. A monthly chart plots the flow of funds of long-term investment managers and offers insight into the next 6 months -1.5 years.
My expertise lies in weaving together the signals produced in different time frames and distilling that information into actionable ideas.
Let the market tell its story. All we have to do is listen.
My offering is custom fit to your needs, together we can create a package that works for you.
