How does technical analysis
fit in your trading system

Good investment strategies are based on the big picture. Not just a snapshot.

To get the big picture on the companies you want to invest in, you should use both fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

Fundamental analysis

Fundamental analysis can give you indications about whether or not a particular company is sustaining positive growth. For more information on the basics of fundamental analysis click here.
