  • art will only display price movements from the past to the current (curent time). the meaning is as accurate as a    actually will not predict where prices will move
  • subjective subjective between fellow traders can open different positions
  • rarely found the condition of a perfect trading signal like we are practicing motorcycles in the field, of course, it will be different when we drive it in a crowded area of the vehicle

    And here are ways to overcome the weaknesses of your technical analysis:
    1. Apply money management
    2. Use stop loss and take profit
    3. diversified risk trading
    4. record and develop trading systems using trading journals
    5. learn to use the forex calendar

weaknesses that exist in technical analysis are usually often found in indicators and in the psychology of traders themselves because in addition to false signals, there is also a lack of skills using technical indicators.
