Technical Analysis Part IV: Gaining confirmation & managing risk

The last in this four-part series on learning about technical analysis, the presenters reviewed confirmation methods using indicators and oscillators, indexes, volume, risk control including protective and trailing stops, price targets, and position sizing with a summary of basic trading rules. We finished our time together with a live demonstration on Fidelity.com. This webinar will help you:

  • Understand methods of confirmation
  • Understand the principles and importance of risk mitigation
  • Learn methods to reduce capital risk
  • Be aware of the limits of technical analysis

Technical analysis focuses on market action — specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
