Technical Analysis

Definition of Technical Analysis, from E-Analytics

"The stock market or any market never reflects what its true value is. It reflects investors perception of the value or what people think it is worth... A technical analyst doesn't look at income statements, balance sheets, company policies, or anything fundamental about the company. The technician looks at the actual history of trading and price in a security or index. This is usually done in the form of a chart... The technical analyst believes that the market price reflects all known information about the individual security. It includes all public and insider information. The market price reflects all the different investor opinions regarding that security. ...the technical analyst believes that securities move in trends. And these trends continue until something happens to change the trend."
