I remember first becoming aware of technical analysis (as opposed to fundamental analysis) while watching a TV program about foreign exchange (forex) trading when I was a child. I wondered whether it was really possible to derive some understanding of future price action based on historical price patterns?
In days past, algorithms had to be manually calculated. These days, using tools such as TradeStation it is not only possible to do massive numbers of calculations in a fraction of a second, but to also represent information in real time on highly configurable charts, to test and optimize trading strategies and to even automatically place orders.
One of the coolest things about learning TradeStation EasyLanguage is that you can think of a trading idea, model it in a program and within a short period time you will know whether your theory has any value.
I have created a short video that talks about some of the ‘patterns’ I have modeled in some of my programs and what the theory was behind them.
