Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is the study of price and volume history, usually through charts, to describe market behaviour and identify patterns.

Charts, trends, volume and common indicators, taught as market literacy rather than as a trading system. We explain what these tools measure and where they fail; we do not publish calls or targets.

What you will be able to do

  • Read a candlestick chart and volume bar correctly
  • Understand what an indicator is actually measuring
  • Recognise the limits and survivorship bias in pattern claims
