Technical Trading – What Is It?

At AvaTrade, we are committed to ensuring that traders get access to comprehensive educational materials that not only help one to develop a personal trading strategy but also to learn and use tried, tested and proven technical strategies in the financial market.Trading strategies are not one-size-fits-all; different traders are comfortable with different strategies within different market conditions. It is therefore important to determine the type of trader that you are (short term or long term) as this will determine the timeframe chart that you will focus on. CFD and forex traders mostly utilise technical analysis methods in analysing the price changes of their preferred assets.This requires the understanding of price action methods (candlestick types and candlestick patterns) as well as the different categories of technical analysis indicators that help measure price elements such as momentum, trends, volatility, market cycles and volume. When trading online, the most reliable way of avoiding losses and gaining a consistent edge in the market is by being educated. This is why CFD and forex trading strategies require continuous education and relentless practice to fully comprehend their strengths and weaknesses.Strategies go beyond entry and exit price points. In an inherently uncertain market like this, risk management is an important pillar of any strategy. A solid risk management plan will guide your strategy in terms of the investment amount, the maximum loss per trade, maximum drawdown, and even when it is time to change or tweak the entire strategy.In the end, the most important element of a strategy is YOU. You must have the discipline and focus to apply your trading strategy in the right manner, in the right market conditions at all times. At AvaTrade, we understand this. That is why we offer comprehensive trading education to our clients so that they can gain relevant trading knowledge and techniques that can help them to make knowledge-based decisions in the financial markets. Here are our top technical trading strategies to get you started.
