Hi Darline, the congrats go to Ossnat, I was just hanging around. As to where to learn TA. I would suggest learning some Candlestick patterns first, with emphasis on reversal patterns but primarily the engulfing, harami, piercing line and cloud cover patterns. Try and think about the psychology involved in how the patterns develop. beta.iqc.com altavest.com Almost all the charting sites have Candlesticks now. Learning simple trend lines in tandem would be a good idea...some examples are included in these following links. If you're still interested after that, chart patterns and indicator analysis should keep you busy. The important thing at first (and probably always) is to keep things simple. Here's a site where you can practice drawing trendlines, just click and drag. equis.com Here's an extensive online book on TA. equis.com beta.iqc.com There are some good beginner sites for TA on SI and ok1day (Ossnat) can direct you to the wall street investor forum where he indicated they have a TA thread and I know they have extensive links there as does this site, including charts glosseries etc. nt.net I honestly can't endorse the use of TA until you become very familiar with it. I've probably seen more people get hurt than helped by it, due to inadequate preparation. Good luck. Stan
