Technical Analysis for online trading

ICFM also offers courses for Certificate in Technical Analysis and these courses will give you an insight to the analysis and strategies involved in online trading. Of the many available techniques, technical analysis is the widely used strategy by pro traders. It is an analysis that takes into account past market trends and activities to identify trading opportunities. Price movement and volume are few of the trends that are monitored during technical analysis. It can be applied to any kind of security provided the past trading data is available. Some of the indicators used by technical analyst to predict future market trend includes price trends, chart pattern, volume indicators, oscillators, moving averages, and support and resistance levels. It is often used in conjuncture with other trading strategies and analysis including the fundamental analysis, but it does have its limitations:

· It is not a mandate that the trend follows a same or similar pattern, which is one of the main criticisms for technical analysis

· Some trade analysts even say that technical analysis works correctly for certain cases only

· It cannot be the sole predictor of future market fluctuation
