Last month, we had an overview of technical Analysis. Today we will discuss certain features of the Recognia Inc. Recognia is a technical analysis tool used for pattern recognition and is available with DisnatDirect's trading platforms.


What Technical Analysis tools are available?
One of the challenges for retail investors has been getting access to the same information and tools used by professional traders and investors. In recent years more and more fundamental information has been provided to retail investors, but until recently information based on technical analysis has not been as readily available. This situation has arisen primarily as a result of the perception that Technical Analysis was "too complex" for average investors to use.

That situation has changed today with the introduction of a new set of tools that automate the identification and presentation of the price patterns and other core elements of technical analysis. These tools provide instant access to information about a stock or index without having to learn how to identify price patterns or perform the manual activities required to draw the charts. With these tools you can:

  • Identify "bullish" or "bearish" patterns and other events for a specific stock
  • Screen stocks for new investment opportunities using technical analysis
  • Set alerts to ensure you're notified when a stock or index triggers a pattern
  • Learn more about the patterns and other events provided by the tools

Technical Events Lookup

"Technical events" occur when a significant pattern has formed or a significant price activity has occurred in a financial instrument. These events highlight price situations that may be worth considering when making an investment decision. You can view technical events for a stock or index. Technical events are often described using interesting names that characterize the pattern - "Candlestick", "Diamond Top" and "Shooting Star" are a few examples.

Technical Event Stock Screener
"Stock screening" is performing a search for new investing opportunities using a range of criteria, such as price limits, and pattern specific information. Using these criteria a Stock Screener will scan all of the stocks and find those that had technical events matching a given selection. From this list you can review each of the stocks and decide if one of them is right for your investing objectives.

Recent Event Alerts
You can also set up Technical Event "Alerts" that will automatically alert you by e-mail to technical events and patterns in specific stocks or indexes as they occur.
