Is Technical Analysis Important In Forex Trading?
By Wilson Neo
Is it important to learn technical analysis (TA) such as chart patterns and candlestick formations in Forex trading? Since the Forex markets is huge where no single player is able to manipulate the price action, therefore, technical analysis seems to apply better in Forex trading rather than stocks. Thus, it is important to know how to read charts.
There are many technical indicators and sometimes we ask ourselves do we really need to know every indicator to become 'Forex master of Technical Analysis'? My personal experience is that a trader does not need to know everything (it is not possible to remember every indicator anyway). Rather, a Forex trader should at least understand the basics such as candlestick formation, trend lines and Fibonacci support and resistance levels. I strongly believe the words in bold are important as they prove to be consistently reliable through the course of Forex trading. For other indicators, which indicator to use depends on the market condition, an oscillator such as RSI works well during a ranging market while a trending market should use a moving average or Parabolic.

Before you sign up for your first live (real) forex account, take some of that money, call it educational, and sign up for Peter Bain's course first! Then signup for a "demo" account with any non-dealing desk broker that uses metatrader and practice trading with virtual money, not real money. When you do finally signup for a live account, having done these things will give your money the best chance it has of finding its way back to you, along with someone else's money, that maybe is not as "smart" as your money!
