Description of The Technical Analysis Course

In this revised edition, author Thomas A. Meyers expands his scope while keeping the focus on technical analysis just as sharp. You will learn how to construct charts; identify profitable chart patterns, including reversals, consolidation formations and gaps; and distinguish the myriad key analytical tools, including trendlines and channels, support and resistance, moving averages, relative strength analysis and volume and open interest.

Advanced analysis, including a discussion of oscillators, relative strength index and statistics, is also presented, along with point and figure charting. Having led you through the Dow Theory, technical market indicators and indices, Meyers concludes with a final case study illustrating a structured approach to technical analysis.

The beauty of technical analysis is that it can be applied effectively to virtually any trading medium and investment time horizon. A technician can analyze stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, commodities and many other forms of investments for buy and sell opportunities. And one can do so by examining tic-by-tic, intraday, daily, weekly, monthly, or any other time interval.

It has been proven time and again that the stock and commodity markets move in trends readily discernible to the technical analyst. The Technical Analysis Course will train you to recognize these trends, act accordingly and profit!
