Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a technique used to forecast the future direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price, time and volume. Technical analysts may employ models and trading rules based on price, volume and transformations, such as the relative strength index, moving averages, regressions, inter-market and intra-market price correlations, cycles or, classically, through recognition of chart patterns. Whether you are new to our markets or an experienced trader, our training sessions are designed to keep you abreast of trading techniques employed by individual and professional traders.
