Technical Analysis Guide

By Mike Swanson

Technical analysis has become an integral part of predicting tomorrow's markets with yesterday's information and helping many people and big corporations make the right choice with the winning results in stock trading. This is the kind of information they desperately need at a time like this.

Technical analysis is when analysts take market trends from yesterday, last year or a few years back and look at the way in which the prices of certain items (be they goods or shares) were managed and the volume in which they were bought or sold. Using this information, they are then able to forecast what the market trend of that particular item or product will be in the future.

To obtain the information that they require, an analyst will often make use of various charts, models or even an index. This is a good means of tracking data and then also trying to determine what trends are likely to be present in the future market. It is clear that the charts such as a candle stick or open low chart are very good as a means of actually depicting the way in which trends are likely to be shaped.

Technical analysis is a discipline all on its own and it was first demonstrated by one Welles Wilder. His work has laid down the foundation for many professions that are now in existence and those involved with the various stock markets around the world are no doubt particularly grateful for the work that he has done. They use his discipline as an every day tool in their work environment.

There is another type of analysis called fundamental and this takes different data points into account than those that are used by technical analysts. They would for instance focus on the actual position of the company stock, the company's market share, earnings and the like. So they are dealing with what could call, real time data. The jury is out as to which discipline is more effective and a lot of big organizations make sure that they have both on their payroll.

While technical analysis is not going to offer you a crystal ball into the future, it is certainly a good tool to make sure that you are as prepared as possible for the type of opportunities that could come your way. Make sure that you understand the historical movements of trends so that you can use these to your advantage in future markets. - 23208
