TechAnalyzer ProTechnical Analysis Guides
What is RSI? How do you set a stop loss? When is a breakout real? Here you'll find explanations in simple Hebrew for all the basic concepts of technical analysis — without unnecessary jargon and without promises. Every guide ends with a way to see the concept on a real chart, for free.
What is technical analysis?
The assumptions behind reading charts, the difference from fundamental analysis, and how to get started the right way.
Support and resistance
The most important concept in technical analysis — where the market has already spoken, and how to trade around it.
Moving averages
20, 50, 150, 200 — what each average measures, and how to use them as decision zones.
What is RSI?
The world's most famous momentum indicator — and what "overbought" really means.
What is MACD?
The gap between two averages once it becomes a momentum indicator — crossovers, the histogram and its limitations.
Trading volume
How to tell a real move from noise — the market's vote with its feet.
Japanese candlesticks
Open, close, body and shadow — the language in which the chart tells who won today.
Price patterns
The chart's recurring shapes — reversal vs. continuation, and how a measured target is derived from them.
Breakouts and false breakouts
The move out of the range — and how to tell a real breakout from a trap.
Stocks before a breakout
Compression, resistance, drying-up volume and relative strength — the profile of a breakout candidate, step by step.
Fibonacci levels
38.2%, 50%, 61.8% — how to measure a reasonable retracement depth within a trend.
What is a stop loss?
The safety belt of every trade — where to place it, and why it must never be moved.
Risk/reward ratio
Why a trader can be wrong on most trades — and the math behind it.
What is Swing Trading?
The style that holds a position for days to weeks — and why it suits those who aren't glued to the screen.
What is ATR?
How much does the stock move on a normal day? The answer determines where the stop goes — and how many shares to buy.
Market Regime and the 200 Average
The market's simple filter: index above or below the 200 average — and what to do with the answer.
What is a short?
The mechanics of short selling, the asymmetric risk — and why in our track record this side is counted as a loss.
Institutional ownership and 13F
How to read 13F filings correctly: what institutional money reveals, what it hides — and why the lag matters.
Insider transactions (Form 4)
An insider sale is almost always routine. An open-market buy with personal money — that's a different story.
How to read a stock chart?
Gateway to technical analysis: what each part of the chart tells you, and in what order to read it.
Trade orders: what's the difference?
Every order buys one certainty and gives up another — the differences, the pitfalls, and the right choice for each situation.
What is leverage?
Double the volatility for double the exposure: the simple math that shows what leverage really costs.
What is a short squeeze?
The mechanics behind the market's most violent spikes — and why they burn both sides.
What is an ETF?

How many years of profit you're paying for a stock, why it depends on the sector and growth, and when the number simply means nothing.
