Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal of making financial forecast. The data used in this analysis is; money policy, government policy and economic indicators. Some examples are GDP, exports and imports. The analysis of this data is for a specific business cycle.


Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a security analysis technique that claims the ability to forecast the future direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. In its purest form, technical analysis considers only the actual price and volume behavior of the market or instrument. Technical analysts, sometimes called "chartists", may employ models and trading rules based on price and volume transformations.

Other data that can be incorporated into your trading analysis is; Interest Rates, International Trade, CPI - cost of living, PPI - cost of producing goods
GDP - measures the value of all goods produced in a country
M2 - Money Supply, which measures the total amount of currency of a country
