Technical analysis
The theory is that a person can look at historical price movements and determine the current trading conditions and potential price movement. Someone who uses technical analysis is called a technical analyst. Traders who use technical analysis are known as technical traders. The main evidence for using technical analysis is that, theoretically, all current market information is reflected in the price. Technical traders generally ascribe to the belief that “It’s all in the charts!” you can look at past data to help you spot trends and patterns which could help you find some great trading opportunities. What’s more is that with all the traders who rely on technical analysis out there, these price patterns and indicator signals tend to become self-fulfilling. As more and more forex traders look for certain price levels and chart patterns, the more likely that these patterns will manifest themselves in the markets. You should know though that technical analysis is VERY subjective.
