The issues that affect the market are many and most time it is very difficult to summarize all the information coming into the market and make an informed investments decision. I do used technical indicators to analyze the market before investing and we have many traders and investors that holds the views that we must used technical and fundamentals indicators in analyzing the market in other to be able to make an informed investments decision. I believe that candlestick formations and patterns contains information about both technical and fundamentals issues that came into the market. Should I continue using candlesticks formation in interpreting the market or something might happen happen that might suspend candlesticks formation information.
I prefer technical as the basic analysis because data not lie, fundamental is like rumors and only used by whales. Market always changed and technical is the only way to follow the trend, I don't see other ways. By the time people will find the best method for them, keep learn and practice but never forget stop loss.
