Education - Technical Analysis

For many technical analysis defies logic -- how can understanding historical price charts help one determine future stock prices?  However, deep at the root of technical analysis is the theory that all prices are determined by the forces of supply and demand.  The price chart is merely the manifestation of the relationship between those forces.  In this section we begin with simple concepts like support and resistance and progress to established strategies using price charts and technical indicators.

• Chart Patterns
  Technical analysts believe that certain price patterns repeat over time so understanding the dynamics of these patterns should yield profit opportunities. In this introduction we start with the basics and move on to reversal and continuation patterns.
  
  

• Using Indicators
  In addition to chart patterns most technical analysts use momentum, volume and directional indicators to make certain they are on the correct side of major trends. In this section we discuss all of the major indicators and how to use them.
  
  

• Strategies
  So you have identified a chart pattern and you think the indicators are properly aligned, now what?  In this section we go beyond pattern recognition and indicators to discuss effective technical strategies.
