Technical Analysis Workshop
25-26 October 2010 London
Description
Fundamentals have left a lot of market participants floundering in current conditions. Taking a 'technical' or chartist's approach 'What' is more important than' why'. This is a very flexible way to deal with today’s markets which is not direction specific, tied to any one specific asset class & can be used for both short & long term decision making.
A Technical analyst doesn't look at corporate income statements, balance sheets, interest rates, inflation rates or any of the financial markets' fundamentals. Delegates will look at the actual history of trading & price in a financial instrument. This is usually done in the form of a chart. The instrument itself could be an individual stock or bond, a derivative, an index, a currency or commodity.
Technical analysis helps to uncover the patterns of market behaviors and price patterns. Participants will learn how to build customised charts and technical indicators to make comparisons against a range of indices and companies or view your portfolio transactions. Using technical charting also enables to track investments to test investment strategies.
