Fundamental trading

Can I use technicals as well as Fundamentals in my trading… ? The reason I am asking is because a lot of experts say you should be consistent and follow a plan or system when trading.

Sure, go ahead. Technicals and fundamentals are not necessarily inconsistent with each other, although using either of them would be inconsistent with many forms of the efficient markets hypothesis. Your plan could certainly be that you think markets are not efficient and you will formulate a strategy to get excess returns, for which I wish you the best of luck...

Yes, you can combine fundamental and tech analysis to some convergence trading.

Just my view.Matthew

ideally when the fundamentals and the technicals are aligned then you have a potential sweet spot.

I don't know whether Vikyg wants to align fundamentals with technicals. The question could be on how to combine fundamental data with quantitative tools of portfolio management, factor models, risk models, etc.

I agree with daveangel. When charts and fundamentals point to one direction, its time to bet big bucks on that trade.
