Combining Fundamental and Technical Analysis TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – TIMING OF TRADING DECISION Technical Analysis A study of price (and volume) actions in the past to determine future price actions. The study of price against time is done on a chart
A technical indicator, as its name suggests, indicates a price action and they can be in the form of chart patterns (that repeat frequently) and statistical indicators (like moving average).
It does not take a long time to understand how to analyze a chart. Price information is cheap and easily available. I will provide you with a solid foundation on how to use technical analysis today. Copyright © 2008 by Benny Lee, NextView
