Technical Analysis Theories and Methodologies

There are many different Technical Analysis Theories and Methodologies that have been developed over the years. The first concept was developed using a simple line chart of the end-of-day price with a smoothing mechanism, the simple moving average. At the time, moving averages were first used by technical analysts for studying price action on stocks and/or indexes.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS & FUTURE STOCK

UTherefore, attempting to predict the future stock or index movement based on technical analysis theory, by itself, is not reliable. As an example, many people still believe that the stock market or the economy has a 4-year cycle of trending up to trending down.

Students & Technical Analysis

Students of technical analysis must do due diligence and be careful to avoid theories that claim predictive capabilities, forecasting capabilities, use non-scientific concepts such as astrology, or other unreliable theoretical concepts.

Indicators & Technical Analysis

A “stock indicator” is a formula derived from the data stream of transactions that occur in the various venues of the stock market. Price, Time & Quantity along with the Stock Symbol and the buyer and seller are recorded every time a stock is bought or sold.

TechniTrader is The Gold Standard in Stock Market Education™
– Gabriela J.

“My trading is going great. Your course was really really helpful, I am very happy I’ve taken it! I’ve been trading for about 4-6 months now and I’ve been quite successful.

I am very careful with stocks I pick, and by placing stop loss orders I managed to prevent major losses. I really appreciate your scans; they helped me to find some very good picks! I’ve already doubled my original investment! I am very happy.”

“I cannot begin to tell you how much I like the course. I really should have taken this course 10 years ago. But there was so much more that I didn’t know I needed to know. If that makes sense. I have lots of students at college who say the same thing. You don’t know, what you don’t know. Since you don’t know you don’t go and find the information. The section on Stop Losses was very helpful. I am even rewriting my stock tracking spreadsheet to work with actual amounts rather than percentages. That makes a lot of sense.”

“Roughly how much time do you need to go back for daily charts and weekly charts for position trading? I know you said that the time and aspect ratio is pre set in the workspaces. If I tweak the time frame to about 8 or 9 months it seems to be a more visually appealing to my eye (daily charts). I am using a 27 inch wide screen monitor. I don’t want to be adjusting the parameters if it will affect the analysis. Also, I recently purchased the Relational Technical Analysis Course and am having so much fun studying the course while applying it the charts! Such a great investment! Thanks,”
