Abstract: Abstract These are the steps leading to the conclusion on the timing of investment, volume, holding period, and warning signals. A summary of the main elements of technical analysis, presented in the natural order of their use, will conclude the paper. We will remind you that technical analysis, although a powerful tool, is not an Aladdin's lamp: it can give guidance, but it cannot predict exactly the future. The vast majority of investors look at the same charts but do not understand the same thing. Some sell, some buy, each looking for the best result. We just have to position ourselves on the right side of the market: follow the trend. But we must also follow some basic rules: let your profits run and cut your losses short. After all, with a little discipline and basic knowledge, success should not be long in coming: going from 50–50% success to 70–30%, while difficult, should encourage anyone to go to 75%, 80%.
