The Science Behind Technical Analysis
Technical analysis has roots stretching back over a century. Charles Dow, co-founder of Dow Jones & Company, laid the foundation with Dow Theory in the . As of , the CFA Institute recognizes technical analysis as a valid discipline in its Chartered Financial Analyst curriculum alongside fundamental analysis.
"Know what you own, and know why you own it."
"Technical analysis is the study of market action, primarily through the use of charts, for the purpose of forecasting future price trends."
"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."
"The key to successful trading is to identify when price exhaustion is occurring. My indicators are designed to pinpoint these moments of reversal."
Key Technical Analysis Terms
- Technical Analysis
- Technical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading activity, such as price movement and volume. Unlike fundamental analysis, which examines financial statements, technical analysis focuses on patterns in market data to forecast future price direction.
- Candlestick Chart
- A candlestick chart is a type of financial chart that displays the open, high, low, and close (OHLC) prices for a given time period. Each "candle" visually represents price action, with the body showing the range between open and close, and the wicks showing intraday highs and lows.
- RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- RSI refers to a momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes on a scale of 0 to 100. Readings above 70 typically indicate overbought conditions, while readings below 30 suggest oversold conditions.
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
- MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages (typically 12-period and 26-period). A signal line (9-period EMA of MACD) is used to identify buy and sell signals when it crosses above or below the MACD line.
- Bollinger Bands
- Bollinger Bands is a volatility indicator created by John Bollinger that consists of a middle band (typically a 20-period SMA) and two outer bands set at two standard deviations above and below. The bands widen during high volatility and contract during low volatility.
- TD Sequential
- TD Sequential refers to a technical indicator developed by Tom DeMark that identifies potential trend exhaustion and reversal points. It consists of two phases: the Setup (a count of 9 consecutive bars) and the Countdown (a count of 13 bars), each signaling increasing probability of a price reversal.
- VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
- VWAP is a trading benchmark that represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, weighted by volume. Institutional traders use VWAP to assess whether they received a favorable execution price relative to the market average.
- Fibonacci Retracement
- Fibonacci retracement is a technical analysis tool that uses horizontal lines to indicate potential support and resistance levels at key Fibonacci ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%). These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and predict the extent of price pullbacks within a trend.
