Help with learning Technical Analysis

@hoffy_au

As promised. Here are just some sites / material / vids I refer to etc. to help the forever ongoing learning process on TA. So many more out there and if TA does catch your interest (it's not for everyone obviously as we saw today) - just hit the web and of course HC - the STT Knowledge Threads the team over there put together is fantastic

I'm a big believer in FA (trust me on that one) but also learnt that the more tools you have the more rounded and more informed you can become IMO. So does it hurt to learn TA...I don't think so if inclined to try. I just happen to find Ichimoku makes sense to me so mainly use that combined with some other Japanese charts and occasionally patterns or candlesticks.

There are obviously many types and styles and you will see them all over HC, in particular some I have come across who I would consider are very informative & happily share with diff styles like mitta Vulture madmacs Dr.Seuss elphamale and others

Anyway, enough ramble.

One EOD platform I use is https://technicianapp.com/ purely as it is free, pretty flexible (downside - no live or intraday data - but not really much of a DT'er myself so not matter to me), heaps of indicators to test and see what I like to use and cross platform web based - use anywhere really.

Some sites I like for patterns, candlesticks etc and u take what u want out of them obviously as there are so many more out there and if nothing else, they can help decipher what some posters are indicating at times by referring to them.
