Technical analysis

From the early times as the trade of actions and commodities started, merchants and investors marked tendencies (trends) and models in the conduct of prices in time. Market participants use the graphs and analytical instruments for determination of changes in demand and supply. It helps to predict prices and formulate auction strategies for all financial markets. The technical analysis is the method of prediction of changes of price and future trends of market by the study of the graphs of historical changes at the market. Technical analysis has the strong and weak sides.
Strong sides:
- this method can be used for the wide circle of instruments practically at any market;
- the graphs can be used for the analysis for period of time from one hour (and less) up to the century.
Weak sides:
- there is the element of subjectivity in every technical analysis, therefore even an experimental analyst can appear in instance where divergence with reality will happen. For an inaccurate analyst it's very easy to see that he wants, instead of what takes place in fact;
- such a method shows the degree of probability of what can happen, but does not assert that it will happen certainly.
The instruments of technical analysis give a wider ability to determine the future activity on the market. This can help to make proper decisions for opening or closing contracts on the FOREX market.
