Usually traders use two types of analysis in Forex – technical and fundamental. The first one involves chart analysis with application of mathematical methods and principles. Fundamental Analysis in Forex implies monitoring of political and economic indicators as well as monetary policy of countries. The main difference between the methods is the approach to the creation of price on the chart. Traders who prefer technical analysis think that it is enough to analyse the actual prices, because this data already includes all indications and reasons of change. However, followers of fundamental approach state that prices depend on fundamental factors and mark relationship between demand and supply. Thus, using technical approach traders analyse prices and relying on fundamental approach they deal with analysis of the trading instrument. Fundamental analysis in Forex examines political, economic, macro- and micro indicators not only for individual countries, but for global environment also.

Marc Chaikin compares close prices with the middle of range from minimum to maximum. The history of indicator is interesting on its own. In Larry Williams formula, Chaikin substituted open price for price of range. The reason of change was not that he considered it wrong, but that he was not able to find data on prices of opening. That time prices were taken from daily papers, which, due to some reason, stopped publishing prices of opening.
