Stock Market Strategic Tips

By: Anthony Green

- If news that could potentially affect the price of a stock is announced on TV, don�t run with all the amateurs, giving it an upward throttle. The more experienced market makers and traders will sit in a corner, biding their time until the stock is right for shorting it and driving it back down. As the stock price plummets, these amateurs that purchased it at the highest price of the day now have no one to sell it to.

- Don�t ever trade with money that you can�t afford to lose such as bill money, retirement money, or any other finances that could affect your living style if you were to lose it. Only trade with a stash of money that you have saved up for the specific purpose of trading. Just as a few people have been very successful at the stock markets, there are even more who have failed, losing homes, cars and furniture, and nearly evreything. Don�t be one of them.

- Never get into a trade that has a poor risk-to-reward ratio. You should only consider trades that will bring you a decent profit, otherwise, the risk isn�t worth it.

- Get out of the trade as soon as you realize the odds are against you. The longer you wait, hoping that the tide will turn again in your favor, the more money you could be losing. Plus, you might find it very difficult to sell.

Market Indicators

Market indicators are very necessary resources when making decisions on what stocks to trade, what trading style to use, when to buy, when to sell and in observing the overall health of the stock market in general. The majority of traders and small investors find that viewing market indicators by relative charts is more helpful than any other means. Charts provide an in-depth view of the market�s progressing trail, and to identify crucial support and resistance points.

The most dependable and widely used U.S. indices are the S&P 500, the NASDAQ 100, the Dow Jones Industrials, and the Tick Indicator. Other popular European and global indices are the FTSE 100, FTSE All-World, the FTSE World Index and the FTSE Eurotop Indices. In addition to indices, the key market indicators are major market leaders within their related industry. Watching the reaction and stock market movement of these business leaders provides a general idea of the strengths and weaknesses in the overall market. Any time these conglomerate corporations bounce up or drop low, usually other businesses seem follow like a flock of birds.

Keep in mind that a downtrend in one industry will not necessarily indicate a downtrend in a different unrelated industry. History is sometimes the best source
to learn from.
