The goal of The Weekly Analyst is to teach stock and commodity traders how to identify and prioritize support and resistance levels on bar charts.  When identified and interpreted correctly, these levels can create an invaluable map that can be used to time market entries and exits.  While its primary function is as an educational tool, its Author attempts to include all of the relevant information necessary to use it as a timely advisory as well.

The Course Manual was first undertaken by Patrick Westfall and Patricia Borchard in 1994 after being referred brokers for several very popular trading courses.  It is the Authors' opinion that many popular trading courses insufficiently educate the trading public about technical analysis and commodity trading in general.  The result is the widespread misapplication of technical analysis by those course members, which inevitably leads to trading losses.

The Weekly Analyst Course Manual was written in an effort to present more information on the topics found in the popular courses without inundating the reader with hype. 

The Weekly Analyst Newsletter was developed by Patrick Westfall in 1999 to help course members and students understand technical analysis by visually illustrating the principles on current charts. 

The Technical Analysis Workbook was developed by Patrick Westfall in 2000 as yet another free resource for learning technical analysis.  The only publication of its kind, the Workbook allows students to analyze 50 markets without benefit of hindsight, but with the benefit of The Weekly Analyst.  Students can then look into future issues to check the results of both their analysis as well as that of the corresponding issue of the Analyst.
