Technical Analysis Basics

Understand trends, chart periods and the uses and limits of indicators.

Prices and chart periods

Charts over different periods show different ranges of movement. Check the data, time zone and interval before comparing patterns.

Trends and indicators

Indicators such as moving averages organise historical prices and depend on past data. They do not guarantee the next price movement.

Combine analysis with risk awareness

Avoid conclusions based only on one pattern or indicator. Consider costs, news, liquidity and what happens if an analysis is wrong.
