Abstract
Recent work in the sociology of financial markets has invoked the concept of the postsocial relationship as a way of theorizing the attachment of traders to financial markets, and the nature of their interactions with them. In this article, the use by share traders of the trading style known as Technical Analysis is offered as an example of a postsocial relationship. It looks at the way in which the relationship between traders and Technical Analysis develops, and the mutual dependence evidenced between the two. It also speculates that rather than replacing or competing with human—human relationships, the postsocial relationship between traders and Technical Analysis is potentially reinforced by, and may also facilitate changes to, traditional forms of human relations.
