Good information. Interestingly, many believe that the reason technical analysis works is that there are so many technical investors out there all looking for the same indicators and reacting accordingly.

Thanks for the effort you have put in in producing this educational and informative series Sean - as your good mate Bill Stacey says -”you can never know too much” and you would have to agree. I look forward to whatever you come up with next.

all the best

Hi Sean

Good to see you included technical analysis.

I would point out that those who are technical analysts, in the true sense of the words, certainly don’t rely on rapid movements ie. complex reversals in prices, rather analysis of long term trends.

The true technical analyst is a mathematician versed in probablility and statistics based on many years of trading trends, from many markets from which this form of trading is based.

Often though, we have a friend who is a fundamentalist with whom we work to make ample gains whilst trading.

Great series Sean.

Regards

Gary Crawford
