Technical analysis and indicators are important tools for traders to improve their investing, but should be used as secondary features. Dow Theory, founded by Charles Dow in 1900, laid the basics for modern-day technical analysis, which focuses on the trending nature of prices, confirmation, divergence, volume, and support and resistance.
