All the Technical analysis will use different software and graphical devices to illustrate the markets tendencies over a period of time. Some may reflect recent history and ask if the price is following a certain trend or is the movement set in a certain range and if so what is that criteria etc.

Learning to understand and interpret Technical analysis is what your Broker is trained to do but you as a trader will need to understand them too. All this information can help you to judge when a short term trade is advisable or when it is wiser to choose a long term option in particular to the currency pairs you choose. The Technical analysis is just one more tool used by Broker to learn and gauge the markets trends and thus calculate potential loss and gain. Trading in pairs will occur but you will need to judge if you wish to make a live trade at any given moment especially in a volatile time.

Traders and Brokers will naturally use different analysis at different times and often with different outcomes but this can distinguish an experienced Broker who will look to minimise loss and maximise profit at all times. Technical analysis can in this way give good indication to Forex trends and also help your understanding of certain price movements. As with all aspects of Forex Technical analysis is key in gaining an all round understanding of the market itself which is all necessary preparation for when you begin to trade live.
