Technical Analysis
The encyclopedia: chart reading, candlesticks, chart patterns, indicators, volume and trend.
Technical analysis is the study of price and volume. Instead of asking what a company is worth, it asks what buyers and sellers are actually doing, and whether demand is overwhelming supply. This section is the handbook’s encyclopedia: how to read a chart, the candlestick and chart patterns traders watch for, the indicators they use most, and how volume and trend tie it together.
Every topic explains what the pattern or tool is, how to recognize it, how traders use it, where it fails, and which lessons it connects to. The chart illustrations are drawn with made-up prices so the shape is easy to see; the Model Book shows how the same patterns looked on real stocks.
