the underlying causes of price movements, while the technical analyst studies
the price movements themselves. A Technical Analysis is what one uses to

and the reading / understanding of graphics. The study of specific factors,
such as wars, discoveries, and changes in Government policies, which influence
supply and demand, and consequently prices in the market place.

limit losses and move them only to reduce potential losses or protect
newly achieved profits.
