I've always been a technical trader wannabe but lately I've been thinking about why the market moves the way it does. What's the reasoning behind it going up and down? Problem is I don't watch the news or really understand economics (I took an economics class but the only reason I passed was because a friend gave me the teacher's old tests ) so I really have no clue where to begin.

Any advice?.

The world wide web is an amazing place you know, you can find out pretty much anything.

I would suggest you start with the school of google and move on from there.
Bloomberg is not bad for monitoring news. As a tech trader that is all i can suggest. investopedia may also hold some valuable resources.

hi

most of us retail traders which trade intrday ,really dont gain anything from the overall fundamentals,but we can gain a view piont from the reasoning to determine if we should be looking for shorts or longs.

Well... i believe that the tough thing to find out is how to interpreting what the important people say.

I mean: Knowing when and listening to what the chief of FED says is no hard thing to manage. But how shall one interpreting what all talk means and what it will mean for the market.

There's the tough part i think.

Both are reknown trend forcasters that have a good track record. They have written books on how they do it.
