What You’ll Learn in Charlie Burton’s Divergence Playbook Masterclass
This free masterclass is a complete breakdown of how Charlie Burton, a professional money manager with 28 years of market experience, trades one core pattern across any market. You’ll learn why market context is the missing link most traders never develop and how to use higher timeframes, from the quarterly chart down to the daily, to build a directional bias before you look for any entry. Charlie then teaches his signature setup, the H pattern confirmed with MACD divergence, used for both major reversals and pullback entries within established trends, with the exact nuances that separate a valid setup from one to skip.
The second half of the masterclass is pure execution. Charlie walks through the full rules for entries using two 5-period EMA bands as the trigger, stop losses set with his 2x measurement rule, and targets at the 50 and 100 moving averages. He covers how combining timeframes turns a daily entry into a multi-R position, how adding to winners compounds returns, and then does something refreshing: the final lesson is honest about the real downsides of the approach, including why it will often feel like you’re going against the crowd. He closes with live euro/dollar examples spanning nearly a decade of the same pattern repeating.

About the Instructor,
Charlie Burton
Charlie Burton is a professional trader, FCA-authorised money manager, and trading educator with more than 28 years of market experience. He went full-time in 2001, which makes him one of the most experienced traders on Chart Academy, co-founded EzeeTrader in 2002, and later built his Charlie Burton Trading community. He trades forex and CFDs as a swing trader, with about 80 percent of his trading in the euro/dollar, and uses a top-down technical system paired with strict risk management. He was featured in the BBC documentary Traders: Millions by the Minute and is a five-time undefeated live trade-off champion at the London Forex Show.
Charlie’s strongest message is that trading is mostly mental, maybe 80 to 90 percent. He credits his martial arts background for teaching him to get knocked down and get back up, and he talks about “desensitizing” your emotions down to a ripple instead of big peaks and troughs. He is open that he was naturally a greed-based trader early on, stuck in a cycle of building his account and then giving it back, until reviewing his own data showed him the pattern. He is also honest that even after 20-plus years he still has drawdowns, and that lasting in this business comes down to patience, discipline, and genuine passion for the game.
