What is technical analysis?

Technical Analysis is the study of price movement of financial securities and used as a methodology to forecast the direction of prices. It examines price behavior on an empirical and statistical basis and it extends to the study of all published information like past market data, primarily price and volume.

As part of our evolutionary DNA, our brain is hard wired for pattern matching, But ask yourself how you are applying this skill in your trading? As a trader, the ability to build an archive of pattern analogs can be very powerful.
