• TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
  
  Technical analysts study trading histories to identify price trends in particular stocks, mutual funds, commodities, or options in market sectors or in the overall financial markets. They use their findings to predict probable, often short-term, trading patterns in the areas that they study. The speed (and advocates would say the accuracy) with which the analysts do their work depends on the development of increasingly sophisticated computer programs.
