Beginners Learn the Basics of Trading Stocks
Trading
Stocks is becoming an alternative career for many people. It offers a variety
of opportunities and advantages that working for a corporation does not. The
first step in learning how to start trading stocks successfully, is to
understand what you need to do to trade a stock for short term profits.
This
requires finding a stock that is poised to move up in price, but that also has
what is called a “low risk entry.” What is meant by a “low risk entry” is how
the price has moved in recent days. There are patterns in a stock chart that
tell you, when a stock is ideal for buying with a low risk. Risk is calculated
by the use of a Stop Loss, which protects your capital and profits should the
market suddenly go down.

You also will need to
learn how to read a stock chart with accuracy. A stock chart is merely a
historical set of data that shows how the price moved, and how many traders or
investors bought the stock during that period of time.
How to start trading
stocks successfully
is being able to read the candlestick charts correctly, which will tell you
Market Participant Groups that are buying the stock and this is critically
important information.
Below is a chart that
is showing what is called a “bottom,” or when a stock stops a Downtrend. This
is when it begins a recovery returning to moving in an Uptrend, which is what
traders want to be able to identify in order trade stocks for short term
profits.
The chart also shows
resistance, which is where the stock will either stop moving up and move
sideways, or retrace which is a brief period of price moving down.
Charts do not predict
what a stock will do. However, they are a necessary and highly useful tool when
considering a stock to trade. Certain patterns will indicate that the giant Buy
Side Institutions using Dark Pools are buying giant lots of the stock in an
accumulation mode.

They want to buy
millions of shares of a stock to put into their portfolios, to create the
Mutual Funds which individuals invest in. However as an example, they cannot
buy 10 million shares of a stock all at one time. So using the Dark Pools they buy
the stock in increments over an extended period of time, and this creates a
specific candlestick pattern on the chart.
When you see this
pattern, it is time to buy the stock for a short term trade because the Dark
Pool buying creates an underlying energy. They are pulling so much liquidity,
meaning stock from the market that it alerts Professional Traders and High
Frequency Trading firms, which quickly move the stock up in a fast momentum
run.
Summary
When you understand
why certain candlestick patterns form, who is controlling price, and how to
calculate the best entry for the lowest risk then trading becomes easy and fun.
Learning how to
Trade Stocks successfully does require a solid Stock Market Education. If
you want to be trading quickly for extra income or as a career, then you need
to take a Stock Trading Course.
If you want to try to
learn this all on your own, be aware that most people spend 5–10 years
attempting and many thousands of dollars in “hard learned lessons and losses”
before they might get it right. That all adds up to a lot of wasted
opportunity, time, and money.
There is a lot to
learn about trading the Stock Market but you will find it fascinating,
inspiring, and amazing. In learning how to trade stocks successfully by taking
a Stock Trading Course, you will be opening a door to a whole world that you
had no idea existed.
