Technical analysts use the stock exchange software for performing technical analysis or chart as it is also commonly called. These tools Graphics are very useful to provide the impetus, direction, historical importance and good information from others who might go into a decision commercial. For the new operator, it is important to note what is meant by technical analysis and how it differs from fundamental analysis, another method common usage analysis of values.

Fundamental analysis, as the term suggests, refers to the fundamentals of the company. You must do with revenue, earnings, stock prices relative to their income, financial stability and management of the company's market capitalization and other fundamental data types that relate to the company and often also to the industry that the company is in based on fundamental analysis, we can determine whether a action is a very attractive price, enough money or too expensive. And we make the decision to buy or sell based on that determination. Fundamental analysis is more of a qualitative analysis of the company and its stock price. More often than not long-term investors fundamental analysis and make their investment decisions based on fundamental analysis results. The drawback is that only fundamental analysis looks at the numbers of firms and not look at other quantitative aspects, as the price movement, accumulation, short and long positions, conduct historical stock prices and other information, related articles.

That's where comes in the technical analysis technical analysis stock trading using software or graphics to represent the historical price movement actions in relation to time. The basic version of this is what appears when you click on "letters" in the main menu of a stock ticker. Depending on what level table is used, it can overlay this basic table with a series of important and relevant information that can tell whether the bulls or the bears have dependents (ie the share price is falling due to stand the pressure or upward trend due to the activity of bull), moving averages, information on trade volume, the ups and downs periodic, resistance and support levels and many other relevant and important factors that allow a technical analyst for do a trial on the direction and how fast the price is likely to move in the short term. Therefore, this type of analysis is used more by short-term and options traders who usually want to enter and exit the market quickly. The drawback of this method, as one might expect, is that technical analysis does not look at the foundations of society at all. It is not related to company performance and financial numbers.

Needless to say, as you may have guessed, or the method used alone is a good way for trade or investment decisions. One can take a purchase decision looking at the charts only to find that the company declares terrible results in the next release of earnings. Similarly, one can look only to the basics and make a purchase decision only see that the share price has reached a level of long-term resistance and bounced down.

Moral of the story: not only based on the stock market software to make your buying and selling decisions. It always helps to look at the basics too.
