The numbers game
Statistics say a lot about performance and help you make important strategic decisions. For example, did you know that, last season, Man City took 70% of its shots down the middle (vs the left/right side)?
And did you know that 9 times out of 10 when there’s positive news on a COVID-19 vaccine, the US dollar will weaken? As a trader, you can use those kinds of stats to trade the USD.
Fundamental & Technical Analysis
In the leadup to match day, football fans closely watch for external factors that might affect the next resut: injuries, transfers, weather, etc. Traders do the same thing by monitoring news, economic events and more. This is what’s known as Fundamental Analysis.
Then there’s detailed Technical Analysis: how many games a player has played, their height, weight and speed, how many shots they take. Traders absorb these small details too by watching trends and analysing data to predict the outcome of a specific trade.
