I was just curious what everyone's trading strategy is. I myself prefer technical analysis, but defintely use fundamental analysis to confirm trends and patterns.

I used to see both Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis. However, I love Fundamental Analyses more than Technical Analyses. I often "read" the company's Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement. Also, I compared all of those things with their competitors. Technical Analysis is also important to confirm my conclusion. I usually looked at the trends of their price, volume, and moving averages. Investor psychology and economic situations will also become my concerns. We can use simulation software to see the investment portfolio.

Very interesting. I would like to add that if I am looking for short-term trades I greatly prefer technical analysis because I believe that fundamental analysis blocks out short term noise and looks at the greater picture.

I agree with the OP. Fundamental analysis is critical and technical analysis is interesting and can be a good reference point. Using both forms of analysis and other resources is a good idea.
