			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the  important indicators that  facilitate traders decipher candlestick charts are candlestick patterns. Candlestick patterns are valuable for making easy systems that will advise you regarding the  establishment of a trend in order for you to start trading.</p>
<p>Candlesticks have a formation that  displays the open, high, low and closing price of a currency, stock or commodity over a  duration. You can  typically choose the time frame that you want to show.</p>
<p>Day traders  generally choose 5 minutes though 15 minutes can be your  option for certain cases. Longer periods  may be  chosen for longer term trades.</p>
<p>The difference between open and close points are marked by the candle body. If it?s a white or blue / green on charts with color, the lower body is the open and while you were considering it, the  value  marked up. Should it be black or red in charts with color, the top  extent indicates the opening  value and during that period, the price moved down.</p>
<p>In candles, vertical lines  pointing up from the top and down from the bottom are  called wicks. The highest  price ever  obtained during the period is the top of the upper wick section.  On the other hand, the lowest  value is the bottom of the lower wick  part.</p>
<p>The  boon of this kind of analysis is that the trader can  straight off see whether prices rose or fell over the period. A white or green candle manifests a rising price or bearish tendency and a black or red candle signifies a dropping price or bullish tendency.</p>
<p>The connection of open and close values to high and low values can be  noted  spontaneously. Then there is a solid candle without a wick.</p>
<p>The name for this is Marubozu pattern. This means that the opening and closing prices were never reached in either direction by the low and high prices.</p>
<p>The opening was the high price  &amp; the closing was the  reduced price if the candle was red or black. The low price is the open and the close  is the high price when the candle is green or white.</p>
<p>A relatively uniform upward or downward trend is  defined by a long body. A reversal is  designated by a long wick on the top or on the bottom.</p>
<p>For accurate trend  identification a candlestick needs to be  examined in conjunction with the others that preceded it. Then you can devise more complex candlestick patterns  signifying the anticipated trends to come.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fundamental and technical analysis are the two  important  mechanisms used in the foreign exchange market.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fundamental and technical analysis are the two  important methods used in the  currency market.</p>
<p>1. The  method of analysis that concerns itself with assessing the nature and the  ramifications of socio-economic and political undercurrents on the  FX market is called FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS.</p>
<p>2. Technical analysis  uses charts to  pinpoint trends and patterns in the  change of prices.</p>
<p>Choosing one over the other is not  obvious. A cursory erxamination of FX trading related forums and websites show traders being  staunch advocates of either one of these  approaches. Those who  choose technical analysis  assert that graphs are the exclusive approach that can predict way ahead of time the trends which is  decisive to making a profit in trading.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the fundamental analysts will  affirm that currency prices are  actuated by socio-economic factors, a fact that cannot be  opposed. Thus according to them, chart patterns are mere  eventualities that have no real  consequence on reality.</p>
<p>But  rationally this does not necessarily  occur. Even though economic changes have a  mammoth  effect on the currency markets, it may still be possible to  determine patterns in the way that the markets react after  a notification or in times when there are no major news.</p>
<p>But if you place all your belief in technical analysis,  quick announcements in crucial financial news will  perhaps catch you off guard. Since you would be  relying on charts and not news, you  may end up picking the  inferior time to trade. Such  a contingency could be calamitous.</p>
<p>In the end, it is an  undeniable fact that economic  attributes are behind most, if not all of the  chief price movements but it cannot be renounced that there are trends that can be predicted by technical analysis for the shorter periods. So picking up these trends while being aware and up to date on current events is the most definite way to envisage direction of future currency  market values. Precise prediction is of course how one makes a profit on the FX market.</p>
<p>If we  correlate the forex market to an elastic object, it can go in either direction and  at times, return to the original  spot. Fundamentals  alter the market. The magnitute of the movement and its return point is  estimated by technical analysis.</p>
<p>Therefore you would be well advised not to be a  idealist in either  form of analysis. Formidable returns are realized better when fundamental and technical analysis are  made use of together.</p>
