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.

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. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Technical-Analysis-3550.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=3550 div style=margin 0in 0in 0pt"How to draw a trendline" is one of the first things people learn when they study technical analysis.

If you have learnt manual trading, you must realize how confusing it is to analyze many charts, prices, and volume data in order to make a profitable entry decision.Using a technical analysis software can tremendously help you to make the best entry and exit decisions. The features of this software can vary from the one that only help you in specific area to the one that will automate all the process for you. These are some features of a technical analysis software1. ChartingCharting is the bread and butter of technical analysis. Basically, no technical analysis is possible without charting. The chart form is a graphical interface that reveals price, volume, and technical analysis indicator like Elliot Wave, Fibonacci, Gann Fan, etc. There are time frame selection available so you can pick the one that match your strategies. When choosing a time frame, you can pick from tick (seconds), minutes, daily, weekly, to monthly. You can also select a time range by date and access to certain historical data with varying time frame. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Technical-Analysis-Software--Five-Features-That-Make-Trading-Easier-290.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=290 Without a doubt, Elliott Wave Theory is one of the most consistent and reliable technical indicators that a trader or investor can have in his technical analysis toolbox and even a basic understanding of these rules along with the basics wave pattern recognition can help deliver consistent gains.

I have finished a book I bought about some of the best traders in the world and they all used technical analysis to help them with their trades.Does that surprise you? It surprised me.I have to admit when you learn about stock trading the introductory books on focus on fundamental analysis. The problem with that is they are missing out on a valuable asset. People should think about doing a technical analysis course to supplement their current knowledge.Is a technical analysis course really necessary?No it isn't but I would recommend it. Learning from books is fine but the problem with that is you do not know if you have interpreted the signals correctly. You soon will after you start trading as you may start losing a lot of money.

This is a pretty god, stable and decent software that does have its flaws, like any other software, but that I believe is a good choice and a good fit-all solution. The software is customizable to suit all your needs and to show you exactly what you would like to see not adding too much unwanted info on the same window.I have tested many softwares and each has its own characteristics, advantages and flaws. I do believe that Metastock is not the best and most powerful software there is. I believe Metatrader, for instance, is much more powerful software that will allow top users to customize the software as much as they want it, create complex indicators and do some back testing on their systems. But all this powerful customization comes with a price learning curve.Metastock is limited in some ways but not as limited to not let you create a few indicator of your own. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Equis-Metastock-Is-A-Simple-Yet-Powerful-Trading-Software-2064.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=2064 Technical analysis has become one of the most popular science of trading. Even it is defined as not exact since that cannot guarantee future price trend, many traders are looking at it as it is a trail to the gold. Now, when the computerization is developing to the higher levels, many technical analysts are forgetting about basic principles of analysis. Majority of retail and even professional traders and investors are jumping into the world of technical indicators in attempt to find or to develop a trading system or strategy which would make them rich overnight or allowed them do nothing and receive stable income flow. With hundreds of technical indicators many traders get lost in testing. It is difficult to call as analysis a process of selecting technical indicators and trying different indicators setting with purpose of finding a combination that works. Yet, the main part of traders are focused exactly on that by considering themselves as professional analysts and by forgetting that this is not analysis but a simple testing. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Fundamental-Versus-Technical-297.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=297 Like the stock market, Fx trading market also passes through various stages and many ups and downs at different periods of time.

Many traders and analysts use a certain type of software suite to help them get a deeper understanding of how the market is performing. This is what is commonly referred to as technical analysis software. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/What-Is-Technical-Analysis-Software-3341.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=3341 Food items form a major part of commodities traded in futures market, and seasonality determining their supply, holds the key in arriving at their prices. Hence, keeping a track of seasonal cycles of commodities facilitates you to arrive at right strategy as per your risk level. Besides, having technical analysis based plan also yields good results in commodity trading. All through the year, certain commodities have a consistent pattern of their prices in line with their supply and demand, hence, investors often tend to consider food commodity trading much simpler, however, one needs to be wary of current market trends, uncertainties etc before structuring any strategy with your futures broker. For ex Soybeans prices start rising from February and reach peak in June and once supply levels increase, prices begin to drop and similarly prices of grains bottom out during harvest time, usually in October. As mentioned, going strictly by these seasonal trends is often a risky proposition, as such seasonal trends may not replicate over the years, and hence such trends should be more of a guide rather than the sole basis to form a strategy. Investors can themselves undertake technical analysis of commodities or approach futures brokers. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Role-Of-Seasonal-Trend-And-Technical-Analysis-In-Commodity-Trading-207.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=207 Many Investment Gurus, with a straight face and a gleam in their eye, will insist that successful investing is a function of expansive research, skillful market timing, and detailed technical analysis. Others emphasize fundamental information about companies, industries, and markets. But trends and numbers are secondary to a thorough understanding of the basic principles of Investing and Management, and their interrelationships. The ingredients for a successful investment portfolio are these stubborn belief in the Quality, Diversification, and Income trinity from Investments 101, and operations that employ the Planning, Leading, Organizing, and Controlling skills introduced in Freshman Management. Here are some things to keep in mind while you season your experience with patience and marinate your investment process with discipline... http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Asset-Allocation-Management-Without-Mutual-Funds-3571.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=3571 Whenever you're dealing with the FX market it's important to have the right forex trading strategies in place. This offers a $3 trillion foreign exchange, and is considered the biggest stock exchange in the world. In order to be successful in your currency trading it will be important to utilize the proper tools.Keep in mind; it's very easy to lose your money in the currency market if you haven't set up a plan in the beginning.This is why utilizing fundamental and technical analysis is important. Fundamental analysis allows you to predict the overall movement in the market, and the technical approach is built around short term currency trading. This revolves around the historical prices and volume of the overall currency.There are three distinct schools of thought when it comes to forex trading strategies; while some people are totally against technical trading and believe that fundamental analysis is all that is needed to predict the direction of the market; others believe that technical analysis provides a more realistic view of market movement.Both of them are partially right, because you should be taking advantage of them both. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/The-Role-Of-Fundamental-And-Technical-Analysis-In-Forex-Trading-Strategies-865.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=865 The age-old debate among traders about which is the better way to make decisions-technicals or fundamentals-misses the point. The two are not mutually exclusive; they are complementary. Activity in the interbank FOREX market is far larger than the retail trading platforms and commodity markets http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Fundamental-or-Technical-Analysis--Which-Is-Better-for-Forex-Trading-1793.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=1793 With the growing popularity of forex robots, one question on everyone's mind is how do they work? Of course all of these robots use different mathematical algorithms to trade, but the principal on which they function remains the same and has been used for many years to trade all types of investments. They all use technical analysis to determine when to buy and sell currency. Technical analysis can be described as simply looking solely at the price movement of an investment to determine what the price will be in the future. There are three main areas that most people look at when analyzing an investment, chart patterns, candlestick patterns and economic factors or government intervention.Looking at chart patterns is one of the most standard methods of determining the direction of an investment. There are a couple particular patterns that investors look for. Some of the most used patterns are the double bottom and double top, the head and shoulders, the rising and falling wedge, the triangle, and the flag and pennant patterns. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Forex-Market--How-Technical-Analysis-Is-Essential-To-Profits-708.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=708 Technical Analysis alone cannot identify the initial primary trend andthinks that the start of the Primary Bull Market is a bear rally. Converselythe start of a Primary Bear Market is seen erroneously as a bull decline.Stock Market Astrology sees these initial points in an intuitive flash ! Itis clear that Predictive Astrology can supplement Technical and FundamentalAnalysis !We do not claim that all predictions of Stock Market Astrology will be centpercent accurate. If it was so then astrologers would own half the world. Wecan say that Probability for accuracy is 70% ! While Mundane Astrology givesus the political map, Financial Astrology gives the economic picture of thenation. Technical and Fundamental Analyses are good diagnostic tools in thestock market. But they cannot attain perfection without PredictiveAstrology, which itself is another diagnostic tool !Determination of Trends as per Dow Jones TheoryLet us analyse how Dow Jones determines trends.Successive rallies penetrating preceding high points with ensuing declinesterminating above preceding low points offer a bullish indication.Conversely, failure of rallies to penetrate previous high points withensuing declines carrying below former low points is bearish. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Stock-Market-Astrology-Part-Viii-280.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=280 There is a raging debate whether one should pursuit technical or fundamental analysis in order to be an efficacious player in the stock market. Much has been said about it, but I believe that in the end it all comes down to personal choice, style and background. I believe that both could potentially bring you a lot of success and both could bring you a lot of failure. The latter being, unfortunately, more common.I am a technical analysis trader and I'm not very fond of fundamental analysis. I've read about it and I'm deeply interested in macro and micro economics. But in the stock market, no, thank you. There is only so much that you, as a solely trader/investor, can find out about a company to be able to proper invest on it. We've seen it far too many times big scandals involving big companies that should be trustworthy.So, that is one of the main reasons that I dislike about fundamental analysis. You might disagree with it and that is fine. There is plenty of space out there for all types of traders and investor. You have no obligation whatsoever to follow my steps. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Fundamental-Or-Technical-Analysis-It-Does-Not-Matter-What-It-Matters-Is-What-You-Do-With-It-1827.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=1827 Technical analysis will help you to illuminate your path when entering the world of trading and investment that looks so attractive although it is not as easy as imagined. Investors and traders like you need a set of tools that will help you to achieve success in trading. Technical analysis will be a spotlight which will light up your way of trading and it is very useful for you, for instance when you must take accurate trading decisions and it will maintain your objectivity. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Technical-Analysis-Lights-Up-Your-Way-of-Trading-3018.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=3018 Swing trading makes profit from swings in price movement over short time frame. To make profit from swing trading, investor uses technical analysis, which observe the market price and volume. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Swing-Trading-for-an-Investor-1782.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=1782 The title of this article may be somewhat strong but it is important for Forex traders to know if their technical analysis is subjective or objective. David Aronson, author of, Evidence-Based Technical Analysis says that there are two kinds of technical analysis, subjective and objective. Here is what he says about bothObjective TA methods are well-defined repeatable procedures that issue unambiguous signals. This allows them to be implemented as computerized algorithms and back-tested on historical data.Subjective TA methods are not well-defined analysis procedures. Because of their vagueness, an analysts private interpretations are required. This thwarts computerization, back testing, and objective performance.In other words, anytime a trade signal is interpretative or leaves in question the direction of the trade, the exit or the entry; the technical analysis is subjective and in my words, worthless.Many traders will argue that this is not true but take for example Elliot Wave Theory.
