Moving averages work
I am a huge fan of technical analysis. There are many, many indicators out there and new ones being created all the time. But a very simple technical analysis that works in all time frames and all currency pairs is the moving average. The 200 exponential moving average (ema) is especially great to quickly see the current trend. Take a one hour chart, for example, and plot the 200ema on it. The 200ema acts like a magnet, price is either working its way toward the 200ema or away from it. If the 200ema is flat, it is likely that the price is moving in a range. When the 200ema starts to slope up, then it is likely that price is running in an up trend, away from the 200ema. Now, using this method, a trader can spot the overall picture or trend, wait for price to start moving in that direction, and then trade in that direction. I know this is a very big picture approach to technicals, but it can work quite well in order to just snag 15-30 pips each day. The key to trading is entry and exit points. But if you at least trade with the trend, you have a better chance of profiting.
