Tipu The term "technical analysis" is a complicated sounding name for a very basic approach to investing. Simply put, technical analysis is the study of prices, with charts being the primary tool. The roots of modern-day technical analysis stem from the Dow Theory, developed around 1900 by Charles Dow. Stemming either directly or indirectly from the Dow Theory, these roots include such principles as the trending nature of prices, prices discounting all known information, confirmation and divergence, volume

OFFLINE mirroring changes in price, and support/resistance. And of course, the widely followed Dow Jones Industrial Fresh Boarder Average is a direct offspring of the Dow Theory. Posts: 9 Karma: 0 Technical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, past prices, and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, instead they look for patterns and indicators on stock charts that will determine a stocks future performance. Technical analysis has become popular over the past several years, as more and more people believe that the historical performance of a stock is a strong indication of future performance. The use of past performance should not come as a big surprise. People using fundamental analysis have always looked at the past performance by comparing fiscal data from previous quarters and years to determine future growth. The difference lies in the technical analyst's belief that securities move with very predictable trends and patterns. These trends continue until something happens to change the trend, and until this change occurs, price levels are predictable. Technical analysis is applicable to stocks, indices, commodities, futures or any tradable instrument where the price is influenced by the forces of supply and demand. Price refers to any combination of the open, high, low or close for a given security over a specific timeframe. The time frame can be based on intraday (tick, 5-minute, 15-minute or hourly), daily, weekly or monthly price data and last a few hours or many years. In addition, some technical analysts include volume or open interest figures with their study of price action. Reply Quote
