Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is the use of sophisticated mathematical models using past price movement to predict future price movement to gain a trading edge. Smart people have developed hundreds of indicators in an effort to find the “magic bullet” chart pattern that never loses.
The good news is applying a technical indicator to a chart is no longer the painstaking and manual process it used to be. It’s now easy for inexperienced, part-time traders to use technical analysis to gain an edge to improve their base winning percentage. The bad news is it’s now possible to add too many indicators which provide conflicting indications and causing confusion and paralysis.
