Your Free Chance to Learn How to Forecast Markets Using Technical Analysis

There are two camps of market analysts out there: the fundamental camp and the technical one. Fundamental analysts look at things like the GDP, unemployment, interest rates, etc. to make logical assumptions about where the stock market is going. Technical analysts use none of that.

Technical Analysis

Charting or technical analysis is the use of numerical series generated by market activity, such as price and volume traded, to predict future trends in that market. The techniques can be applied to any market with a comprehensive price history. Technical analysis does not try to analyze the financial data of a company, such as cashflow, dividends, and projection of future dividends; that type of analysis is called fundamental analysis.

A Trader's Transformation: From Struggling to Successful

North Korea vs. South Korea -- Fundamental Analysis vs. Technical Analysis

You Can Learn How to Forecast with Technical Analysis

"Forecasting and trading are two different skills. Forecasting may come after some study, whereas if you add the serious and heavy emotional trauma of trading real money, an individual may not be able to think so clearly. It is a different skill," says Robert Prechter. But it helps to have a good forecast based on solid technical analysis before trading.

Corn: Harvesting Ripe Elliott Waves

As a trader you follow one of two types of analysis: Technical or Fundamental, and while people will always argue over which is more accurate, "the proof is in the pudding" as they say. Fundamental analysis follows a simple enough rule: if incoming news is positive, the market in turn goes up and vice versa. But the problem is that the news lags the market and is too often contradictory.
