Technicals Vs. Fundamentals?

I'll pick my post thanks.

Your logic is illogical.

Why would a fundamental analyst/trader ditch their method of analysis from what was a big market shock? Surely they know that these shocks happen all the time in the markets.

No doubt a few fundamental traders lost money but surely if still in business they would have learned from the experience and built that into their analysis process for the future? I very much doubt they would have said something like 'the Swiss peg break proves once and for all that fundamental analysis is no good so I'm going to ditch it'. If they'd said that to me I'd ask them for their reasons and they I'd be ready for a load of nonsense and ums and ahs.

Anyway, most fundamental traders haven't got anything to do with Swiss Franc assets and although the move echoed around the world the majority of unrelated markets weren't effected that much and soon got back to their normal ways. And the good fundamental analysts would have viewed the Swiss peg break as an opportunity of some sort just as they do with ALL sudden market shocks.

Fundamental analysis is an old as the ancient Egyptians and is never going away for the vast majority of investors (note, not traders).

I use technical analysis when I am TRADING and Fundamental analysis when I am INVESTING, that is the key difference from my perspective. Both are useful strategies but only when used with a time-horizon, risk appetite and target return that suits the strategy being applied..

On some occasions a blend of the two is also ideal, Investing in the trend using fundamentals and then trading within the trend cycle using some short term technicals

You just typed paragraph after paragraph all to chase an argument that was never made because you couldn't read a simple sentence.

Astounding.

analysis technically and fundamentally equally important. technical analysis refers to past data and indicators to make chart in forex trading while fundamental analysis refers to the analysis of the economic news that's both affect each other

Both Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis are equally unimportant.

The type of analysis matters so far as it convinces the logical mind to:
1. Develop a plan for being net long in a bull market and net short in a bear market.
2. Stick to the plan.

This can be achieved with technicals or fundamentals or tea leaves. Other than the above mentioned points, your choice of analysis is about as significant as picking a favorite colour or flavour.
