Charts record a commodity or stock's price and volume history. If you can interpret these charts properly, they will help you determine whether a commodity or stock is strong, and under accumulation, or weak, and under distribution.
Traders and investors who educate themselves to properly read charts have a huge advantage over those who do not, for whatever reason. Put as many factors as possible in your favor before taking a position in the market. Reading charts, or technical analysis, is a key factor.
Chart patterns, which can also be called,"bases", are really just areas of consolidation or price correction after an earlier price advance or decline. There are several historically proven patterns that repeat themselves over and over. Learn what these patterns are, and learn to recognize them by reading charts.
Major trends occur off solid, recognizable price patterns. Fortunes are made by traders and investors who put in the time and effort to properly interpret charts. The reason these successful price patterns repeat themselves over and over is because of psychology. Human nature does not change, and it never will. You are seeing human nature recorded in charts. Understanding proper trading psychology, and reading charts, are keys to successful trading and investing.
A great way to see the future is by studying the past. Analyze the chart patterns of the most successful stocks, and the major commodity trends that have made fortunes, for those who interpret them properly. Remember, these price patterns on the chart were made by human nature in action, and human nature will never change.
