Technical Chart Analysis
|
Technical chart analysis is the study of historical price performance in an effort to predict future price performance. Price is the only accurate measure of investor sentiment -- it is the intersection of supply and demand. Investor sentiment is at least and possibly a more important determinant of price than fundamental factors like earnings, revenues and profit margins.
Sophisticated technical indicators evolve from simple data inputs of price and time. While most traders understand how price patterns reveal hidden opportunity, many fail to comprehend how time impacts both tactics and results. Lacking a skilled understanding of opportunity cost, they misinterpret signals and waste valuable resources. Or, trapped in common trend relativity errors, they prepare trades in one time frame but execute them in another.
