Technical Analysis

Markets are like roller coasters – when you pay attention,
you see the ups and downs.

The Basis of Technical Analysis

Markets tend to exhibit repeating patterns and movements due to the pattern-like behaviour of trades. Finding these patterns in the market and pairing them with historical data is the basis of technical analysis.

Determine the Market Trend

Using technical analysis to trade can help you determine if the market will continue on a current trend or reverse its course, and forecast potential entry and exit points for traders.

Fundamental Analysis

Events can cause trending markets to go askew.

The Basics of Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis is the study of how scheduled economic announcements, as well as news and other events, can affect the value of a market. The impact of news on a country’s economy can correspond closely to the value and volatility of that country’s market.

Monitor High Impact Events

Throughout the day, news, politics, economic reports and even market gossip can affect the value of one market compared to another. Sometimes, the impact barely causes a flutter. Other times the change is dramatic — a market that was weaker than another in the morning is suddenly stronger by the afternoon.
