Technical Analysis Introduction-2
In latter years , in the course of market history many analyst propounded their own theory, and new indicators are introduced .Many indicators based on momentum have become popular nowadays .
Japanese candlestick techniques are used along traditional western charting techniques.
The price of a security represents a agreement between a buyer and seller. It is the price at which the buyer decides to buy and the seller decides to sell.
If he expects the price to move up, he will buy it. If the investor expects the price to move down, then he will sell it.
Humans as a individual, are not easily predictable. But as a crowd their behavior is predictable. A individual as a member of a crowd would behave differently.
Because of the participation of people of various emotions, anticipation and expectation, the market movement is unpredictable. Because of this there is always a gap between demand and supply which makes the prices to swing constantly .
Technical analysis, in other words is the study of this demand and supply ,and anticipate price changes.

Technical Analysis Introduction-1
Technical Analysis is the art of analyzing a stock's historical prices in an effort to forecast the probable future prices. It is done by studying and comparing current price movement, with the help of tools like (i.e prices ,volume ,speed ,pattern and time) ,with the past price action to predict future course of the price action.
To put it simply, technical analysis is the study of prices, with price,pattern, volume and time as being the primary tool. it is applicable to stocks, commodities and currencies.
With the help of Technical Analysis we can predict the prices from days to several years . It can be applied at the time of both purchasing and selling.
Technical Analysis is useful for improving the investment decision making skill Before making investment decision technical analysis should be supplemented with fundamental analysis
Concepts and tools of technical analysis were developed several centuries ago. Japanese used candlestick trading techniques for rice trading in 16th century itself .
These tools are well tested since then and all over the world investors are using it successfully .
The traditional technical analysis method got a boost after the Dow Theory, developed by Charles Dow in 1900. So he is also called the father of modern technical analysis.
Since then many theories are propounded by many people based on Dow theory or based on price pattern (ie Elliott Wave Theory and Neowave ) or based on Momentum of the Market.
