Profit With A Stock Trading System
Using a stock trading system is the foundation to consistent profits. Without a system you are exposed to higher risks and trading becomes erratic.
Tracking the movement of stocks over time can be done using charts whether that is with a simple spreadsheet program or sophisticated stock charting software. It can be very useful to undertake a visual, graphical analysis of stock data to assess potential candidates for the next trading position or to monitor the permoformance of existing stocks in your portfolio. Your trading style will determine your time frame of interest. Day traders will analyze stock data over hourly periods and long term traders over months and years.
What are some of the things to look for in stock charts? A trading range is where a stock’s price movement fluctuates between between two values. This gives a sideways movement to the stock value over time. Trading stocks based on a trading range can be used for smaller percentage profits. Another aspect of a stock exhibiting a sideways trading range, is to be on the alert for the stock to break out of that pattern since this can indicate rapid changes in stock value representing opportunity for financial gains or the potential for losses to cut.
Trend trading is buying and selling stocks based on the indicated upward or downward trend of the stock price. A trend is indicated when three peaks or troughs can be joined by a straight line. Both upward and downward trends can be advantagous depending on the predicted movement in price and whether you are shorting stocks on a downward trend or buying low and selling high.
One of the advantages of using custom stock charting software is being able to quicky generate charts from massive amounts of data.
This can be very useful for the less technical trader. Custom sofware can also be used to analyze the stock data to produce different types of charts with various indicators for buying and selling.
In the end, a trader will develop their own personal style irregardless of whether the latest technology for data analyis is used or the preference is for something simple like a spreadsheet. No system is 100% perfect and the aim is not to win all the time but for the wins to exceed the losses by a fair margin and in an acceptable timeframe.
Complexity does not make a system better than using a simple approach. Do stay informed about developments in stock trading systems. These developments can generate useful ideas about how you might refine your own system. Use tools to help you save time in arriving at buying and selling decisions but remember that they are tools. Use them wisely and cultivate your own blend personal talent and “mechanical” tools.
