Definitions of Technical Analysis

Courtesy of the Google MarketsList, here are a few definitions of Technical Analysis that I found at the same time particularly accurate and elegant:

- The study of market action (price , volume, open interest), primarily through the use of charts, for the purpose of identifying future price trends

- The art of inferring Expected Value of market price given data generated by the process of trading

- The analysis of available market data to unbalance the trading odds in your favor

And finally, maybe the most accurate...

- The subjective analysis of the markets dressed up in a lab coat
