The Charts

One of the great benefits of the Technical Analyzer is that you can see the above analysis for yourself on a provided chart. Below we can see a 30 minute GBPUSD chart updated for the values provided by the Analyzer. First, traders will notice the lines of support and resistance. The central pivot from where the trading bias is created is denoted with a blue horizontal line. Resistance lines are colored in green while key levels of support are labeled in red. These levels once identified, can then be used in completing a trading plan in conjuncture with other indicators.

Analysis through the Technical Anlayzer includes the use of indicators. Often you will see the use of a series of MVA’s (Simple Moving Averages). Depicted below, you can see both a 20 and 50 period MVA working in tandem to identify market momentum. As well, you will notice the inclusion of RSI (Relative Strength Index). This indicator is helpful in determining both overbought and oversold levels which are beneficial to traders. If you don’t know what any of these indicators mean, don’t worry! The Technical Analyzer will include key updates to indicators in the stories mentioned above and explain any updates.
