PREFACE

Technical Analysis is based on presumption that history repeats itself. With conditions and factors similar to the past, market participants will react in a similar way as previously. The activities of various market participants are displayed on charts which transforms into patterns that repeat over time. Identifying those trends and patterns at a relatively early stage is an art and for a trader or investor who identifies them and act accordingly, the rewards can be enormous.
