Principles of Technical Analysis

The basic principles on which analysis is based include:

  1. The Market Takes Everything into Account
    The first and most basic principle of technical analysis is that the entire history of the financial instrument has to be reflected, i.e., all the available information about it at a given moment in time must be shown accurately. The previous changes in the market may be used to predict future prices, if the market is liquid.
  2. Trend is Essential
    In order to be successful in the longer run, you may follow a trend and stick to it at any given moment in time.
  3. Price is a Reflection of Psychology
    All prices are a result of conflicts between buyers and sellers. Psychological effects play a vital role in it. Different states of mind and opinions may lead to different decisions, even in the same situation. Analyzing the majority opinion helps in acting efficiently in the market. Technical analysis may not provide you the reasons for the rise and fall of prices but measures their evolution, helping you to estimate their future behaviour.
  4. The Market Can Be Irrational
    An investor’s hopes, ambitions and moods are not taken into consideration but may often produce exaggerations in the market. Technical analysis is an essential tool for integrating this psychological dimension of the markets.

How to Use These Signals While Trading

Experienced forex traders monitor future economic events in an attempt to predict currency movements and act in time to make the most of the economic announcements. They usually already calculate the impact on their currency pair and plan their trade accordingly. They also tend to lay greater emphasis on specific indicators that they believe will be the most influential or meaningful for their currency pair.

How they use the economic calendar is that they keep track of approaching announcements. What usually occurs is that economic experts forecast the measures that are likely to be announced. The forex trader then uses these forecasts to price in the value into their currency pair, responding to currency movements before others have a chance and thereby maximising their gains. The reality is that economic events can alter the direction of currency movement within seconds and the quicker you respond with a trading decision, the more likely you are to gain. Of course, making a profit would ultimately depend on whether you have been able to predict the movement or volatility accurately. Often it is not about the actual data that comes out but whether the data is outside of expectations. So if for example people expect an NFP number of new jobs added to come in at 130,000 and it comes way above or below that number, then it’s possible to see some large moves for the US dollar in response.
