Sách The Technician's Basic Tool: The Price Chart

Whether you trade short-term or long-term, discretionary or systematic, your goal as a technician is always the same: to find profitable patterns in price behavior. To accomplish this, technicians use a number of methods to identify the prevailing price trend, or to identify points at which a trend is about to reverse (the time scale, of course, can vary). These basis for these techniques can be roughly divided in two categories: chart analysis and technical indicators. Because basic chart analysis is the backbone of technical trading, we'll explain the most popular chart types, what they tell you, and where chart analysis fits into an overall trading plan. In future articles, we'll go into more detail about specific chart pattern and trend analysis.
