The Technician

The Technician is a believer that the current market price, and previous market movements are a reflection of trader and investor psychology and are thus subject to repeatable patterns. The Technician can be broken into two clear sub-types, The Chartist and The Quant.

The Chartist will seek to recognize these patterns on charts visually and create trading strategies around them when present in the market with well defined entry and exit levels.

The Quant will seek to code these patterns into algorithms that can run over multiple asset-classes, multiple time-frames and will run both long and short strategies where available.
