Technical vs Fundamental Analysis

Two lenses, and how beginners use both.

Technical analysis studies price and volume to infer probable behaviour. It works because market participants leave footprints. Fundamental analysis studies economic data, rates and news to gauge a currency's value.

For beginners in a prop evaluation, technical analysis is usually the more practical lens because it can be applied consistently and scored against rules.

Fundamentals matter for events: rate decisions, inflation, employment. Even if you trade only technicals, you should know when big news lands and how to handle it.

Pick ONE approach and be consistent. A strategy that says 'I trade breakouts on the higher timeframe with a fixed risk' is more repeatable than 'I mostly trade what looks good'.

Consistency is exactly what an evaluation grades. A repeatable process is worth more than a lucky series of trades.

Takeaways

Technical analysis reads price/volume; fundamental analysis reads economic data and news.
Beginners in an evaluation are usually better served by a consistent technical process.
Pick one approach and apply it consistently - consistency is what is graded.
