Technical Analysis tools for Stocks and Options trading

Technical analysis has become extensive in recent years. Technical analysis works 60 to 70% of the time, and this is because fundamental events (earnings reports, lawsuits, mergers or acquisitions and many more events) always trump any technical pattern. However, in the absence of fundamental events, which is 60% to 70% of the time, technical analysis works because traders don't have any other information to go by.

There are several categories of technical analysis - Price indicators, Support and Resistance levels, Momentum indicators, Volume indicators, Oscillators and Statistical price movement indicators.
