Before Getting Started

 

Jargon to Know

You may already know the following, but it’s important to make clear a few terms before we get started:

  • A bull, or someone who is bullish, is someone who thinks a market or a security will go up.
  • A bear, or someone who is bearish, is someone who thinks a market or a security will go down. 
  • The terms technical analysis and chart reading are synonymous.
  • A chartist and a technician are the same thing. They’re both practitioners of technical analysis.
  • Going long means to bet that something will go up.
  • Going short means to bet that something will go down.
