<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1.</span>Technical Analysis</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Technical analysis is the framework in which traders study price movement. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The theory is that a person can look at historical price movements and determine the current trading conditions and potential price movement. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The main evidence for using technical analysis is that, theoretically, all current market information is reflected in price. If price reflects all the information that is out there, then price action is all one would really need to make a trade. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, have you ever heard the old adage, "<b>History tends to repeat itself</b>"?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, that's basically what technical analysis is all about! If a price level held as a key support or resistance in the past, traders will keep an eye out for it and base their trades around that historical price level. </span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Technical analysts look for similar patterns that have formed in the past, and will form trade ideas believing that price will act the same way that it did before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the world of trading, when someone says technical analysis, the first thing that comes to mind is a chart. Technical analysts use charts because they are the easiest way to visualize historical data! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can look at past data to help you spot trends and patterns which could help you find some great trading opportunities. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's more is that with all the traders who rely on technical analysis out there, these price patterns and indicator signals tend to become self-fulfilling. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As more and more traders look for certain price levels and chart patterns, the more likely that these patterns will manifest themselves in the markets</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You should know though that technical analysis is VERY subjective. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just because Ralph and Joseph are looking at the exact same chart setup or indicators doesn't mean that they will come up with the same idea of where price may be headed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now we know you're thinking to yourself, "Geez, these guys are smart. They use crazy words like 'Fibonacci' and 'Bollinger'. I can never learn this stuff!" </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't worry yourself too much. After you're done with the School of <i>Stock Market</i>, you too will be just as... uhmmm... "smart" as us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>By the way, do you feel that green pill kicking in yet? Bark like a dog!</i></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. </span>Fundamental Analysis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fundamental analysis is a way of looking at the market by analyzing economic, social, and political forces that affects the supply and demand of an asset. If you think about it, this makes a whole lot of sense! Just like in your Economics 101 class, it is supply and demand that determines price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Using supply and demand as an indicator of where price could be headed is easy. The hard part is analyzing all the factors that affect supply and demand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In other words, you have to look at different factors to determine whose economy is rockin' like a Taylor Swift song, and whose economy sucks. You have to understand the reasons of why and how certain events like an increase in unemployment affect a country's economy, and ultimately, the level of demand for its currency. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The idea behind this type of analysis is that if a country's current or future economic outlook is good, their currency should strengthen. The better shape a country's economy is, the more foreign businesses and investors will invest in that country. This results in the need to purchase that country's currency to obtain those assets. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In a nutshell, this is what fundamental analysis is:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuVCxNxShoun3f2wikUM0QiUro85SdsjW74EMCADSmEWr68jkjTz0tuTr22FgKFnPpoYPdusxMfIVnqF2yK-W-hvcMkqnc4cc7BEMt0v9br0lTG97fwK7yEJc6Bg2b8_9TErh_8Ht-JM/s1600/fundamental-analysis.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="287" data-original-width="525" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuVCxNxShoun3f2wikUM0QiUro85SdsjW74EMCADSmEWr68jkjTz0tuTr22FgKFnPpoYPdusxMfIVnqF2yK-W-hvcMkqnc4cc7BEMt0v9br0lTG97fwK7yEJc6Bg2b8_9TErh_8Ht-JM/s320/fundamental-analysis.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For example, let's say that the Nifty- Sensex  has been gaining strength because the Indian economy is improving. As the economy gets better, raising interest rates may be needed to control growth and inflation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Higher interest rates make INR-denominated financial assets more attractive. In order to get their hands on these lovely assets, traders and investors have to buy some greenbacks first. As a result, the value of the INR will increase.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Later on in the course, you will learn which economic data drives currency prices, and why they do so. You will know who the Fed Chairman is and how retail sales data reflects the economy. You'll be spitting out interest rates like baseball statistics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But that's for another lesson for another time. For now, just know that the fundamental analysis is a way of analyzing a currency through the strength or weakness of that country's economy. It's going to be awesome, we promise!</span><br />

3. Sentiment Analysis</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Earlier, we said that price should theoretically accurately reflect all available market information. Unfortunately for  traders, it isn't that simple. The markets do not simply reflect all the information out there because traders will all just act the same way. Of course, that isn't how things work.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="481" data-original-width="501" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuXjvjAwgpzu038rtkQdAmU1Y5ZGaenjY9zzy68wTK6M73H_qPDzqiRcU6U3WbDqaDz4o2gLGwLJHwuJw6d67RmjK-bqrfDC479uOQcgupfp97P6yNEEDCgD9CuFY2fUHHdJ96gNh5pkw/s200/kindergarten-sentimental-analysis.png" width="200" /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each trader has his own opinion or explanation of why the market is acting the way they do. The market is just like Facebook - it's a complex network made up of individuals who want to spam our news feeds. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kidding aside, the market basically represents what all traders - you- feel about the market. Each trader's thoughts and opinions, which are expressed through whatever position they take, helps form the overall sentiment of the market.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The problem is that as traders, no matter how strongly you feel about a certain trade, you can't move the markets in your favor (unless you're one of the GSs - George Soros or Goldman Sachs!). Even if you truly believe that the stock price is going to go up, but everyone else is bearish on it, there's nothing much you can do about it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a trader, you have to take all this into consideration. It's up to you to gauge how the market is feeling, whether it is bullish or bearish. Ultimately, it's also up to you to find out how you want to incorporate market sentiment into your trading strategy. If you choose to simply ignore market sentiment, that's your choice. But hey, we're telling you now, it's your loss! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being able to gauge market sentiment can be an important tool in your toolbox. Later on in school, we'll teach you how to analyze market sentiment and use it to your advantage like Jedi mind tricks. </span></div>

<h2>
Which Type of Analysis is Best?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ahhhh, the million dollar question....</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Throughout your journey as an aspiring forex trader you will find strong advocates for each type of analysis. Do not be fooled by these one-sided extremists! One is not better than the other...they are all just different ways to look at the market.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the end of the day, you should trade based on the type of analysis you are most comfortable and profitable with. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To recap, <b>technical analysis</b> is the study of price movement on the charts while <b>fundamental analysis</b> takes a look at how the country's economy is doing. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Market sentiment</b> analysis determines whether the market is bullish or bearish on the current or future fundamental outlook. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fundamental factors shape sentiment, while technical analysis helps us visualize that sentiment and apply a framework for our trades. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those three work hand-in-hand-in-hand to help you come up with good trade ideas. All the historical price action and economic figures are there - all you have to do is put on your thinking cap and put those analytical skills to the test!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let me pull out that three-legged stool again just to emphasize the importance of all three types of analysis. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Take out one or two legs of the stool and it's going to be shaky!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let us give you an example of how focusing on only one type of analysis can turn into a disaster. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's say that you're looking at your charts and you find a good trading opportunity. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />You get all excited thinking about the money that's going to be raining down from the sky.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You say to yourself, "Man, I've never seen a more perfect trading opportunity in the <span style="color: #0000ee;">stock market</span>. I love my charts. Mwah. Now show me the money!"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You then proceed to buy  with a big fat smile on your face (the kind where all your teeth are showing).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But wait! All of a sudden the trade makes a  move in the <b>OTHER DIRECTION</b>! Little did you know, one of the major banks in London filed for bankruptcy! Suddenly, everyone's sentiment towards Britain's market turns sour and everyone trades in the opposite direction! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your big fat smile turns into mush and you start getting angry at your charts. You throw your computer on the ground and begin to pulverize it. You just lost a bunch of money, and now your computer is broken into a billion pieces. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And it's all because you completely ignored fundamental analysis and sentimental analysis.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Note: This was not based on a real story. This did not happen to us. We were never this naive. We were always smart traders.... From the overused sarcasm, we think you get the picture.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Ok, ok, so the story was a little over-dramatized, but you get the point.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember how your mother used to tell you as a kid that too much of anything is never good? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well you might've thought that was just hogwash back then but in forex, the same applies when deciding which type of analysis to use. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't rely on just one. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead, you must learn to balance the use of all of them. It is only then that you can really get the most out of your trading.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where do we go from here?</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that you're done with Kindergarten and learned a little bit about each type of analysis, it's time to delve much deeper! Here's what's in store for the next few years of your life...</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />We're kidding, we're kidding! We're talking about the next few school years in the School of  stock market.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Grade school will be all about basic technical analysis tools. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You'll learn all about the dynamics behind price action, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick formations, and common chart patterns. You'll experiment with leading and lagging indicators and discover how to use them in coming up with trade ideas. Sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The remaining years of middle school and high school are devoted to studying more technical analysis tools.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We'll take a look at the more advanced tools also such as pivot points, divergences, Elliott Wave Theory, and Gartley patterns. Sounds fancy? It's because they are! Bet you can't wait to get started on those!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">College will be a bit more complicated since you'll be tackling both fundamental and market sentiment analysis at the same time. Talk about hitting two stones with one bird! You're the bird and the stones are... well, you get the point. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A couple of reasons why we're putting fundamental and market sentiment analysis together: </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By the time you reach college, you'll be so hooked on learning more about stock market that one lesson simply won't be enough. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is hard to draw the line between fundamental analysis and market sentiment analysis.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As we mentioned earlier, fundamental factors are mostly responsible for shaping market sentiment. Those two types of analysis would take up both freshman and sophomore year of college.</span><br />
