Topic FAQ

Does technical analysis work?

Technical analysis describes price behaviour and helps structure decisions, but it does not predict the future. The value is in the discipline and repeatability of the rules, not in the "magic" of shapes. Any pattern is worth checking on history rather than taking on faith.

Where should I start with technical analysis?

With support and resistance levels and identifying the trend — the base on top of which candlestick models and patterns are read. Indicators are secondary: they simply retell the same price in different ways.

What is Price Action?

Price Action is an approach where decisions are made from the "clean" price chart — candles, levels and structure — without a pile of indicators. The idea is that all the information is already in the price itself.
