The Many Aspects of Technical Analysis
There are so many aspect to technical analysis(TA) that it can be very overwhelming and intimidating to anybody that is new to investing. With hundreds of different technical indicators and strategies it can be difficult to decide where to start learning technical analysis.
The most important aspects of technical analysis are actually the most basic fundamentals of TA. They are the first thing you should learn in TA. Price action, volume, and the overall trend are the most important things in the field of technical analysis. Most technical indicators and strategies are derived from these three fundamental aspects of technical analysis. Once you master these aspects of TA then you will be able to map out stock charts with my favorite tool for technical analysis, the line drawing tool.
The line drawing tool, when properly utilized, helps me determine major areas of support or resistance. The drawing tool can clearly illustrate the short-term and long-term trends or direction of the price action. Essentially the line drawing tool makes it easy for a swing trader to trade the ups and downs in the market.

How can you learn to use the line drawing tool properly?
First you must learn how to read candlesticks. Candlesticks illustrate the price action for the day, week, or whatever time frame you decide to analyze. Candlesticks tell you where the buying or selling starts and stops. Candlesticks are also used for determining technical trend lines or areas of support and resistance.
Most importantly, the size of the candlesticks can give you insight into market sentiment. For example, was the market indecisive, was the buying or selling very strong, did the buying or selling last all day? These are all questions that candlesticks will answer.

The volume of the price action is another very important aspect of TA. When analyzing charts, volume can be used to confirm or deny a trend. It can also be used to determine when an uptrend or a downtrend is gaining strength or running out of steam. When you see rising volume during a clear directional trend then the trend has strength. Falling volume can signify a weak trend or a trend that is susceptible to a possible change in direction.

After mastering these two simple yet fundamental aspects of TA then you will be able to determine the overall trend on any time frame. Once you can determine the trend then you can utilize the line drawing tool properly to find the areas of support and resistance for very profitable swing trading.

slippery Liu Yongshu : in every sharing
Always Hungryy : my favourite is 1 min trending. volume and direction.
Richard_陈 : I've watched a lot of technical analysis courses, and I don't think I can use it. Basically, I still rely on luck; I'm blind
SpyderCall OP Always Hungryy : yikes. 1-minute trends move so fast it can be scary sometimes. I watch the 1-minute timeframe to watch the volume in real time.![undefined [undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36)
If you get bored with the 1-min candles then you can move to 30-second candles or 15-second candles. Or just trade Tick-by-tick if you are feeling really crazy
SpyderCall OP Richard_陈 : That's okay. A lot of investors don't use TA and they do fine.
just follow what is going on around the world to get a little bit of knowledge about the macroeconomic environment. Follow the trend. When the trend starts going up then buy or hold. And when the trend starts going down then decrease your position. Only buy good companies that make profit. Buy low and sell high. BE PATIENT.
Richard_陈 SpyderCall OP : Thank you, really good advice
