Momentum and Technical Analysis
Continuing with this guy :) Momentum is technical term for a lot of different market indicators - relative strenght, moving average convergence/divergence, oscillators. Momentum measures overbought and oversold conditions in the markets. There is another way of looking at momentum which is the notion of trading breakouts which are momentum situations in fast moving markets.
Spread Betting and Risk Control
If you limit any one trade to a maximum proportion of your trading capital like 2% or 4%; this will be reflected in your risk/return. Risking a bigger percentage means that your volatility increases as does your performance.
Trends and Chart Patterns
Trends are the tendency of markets to go in a particular direction until something breaks the trend. Patterns are injections of trading energy - they exist within trends. Broadly speaking there are two types of patterns - continuation patterns that continue trends and reversal patterns that reverse trends. A triangly for instance can be a powerful continuation pattern.

5 Steps To Researching a Stock Trade Before Investing

5 Steps to Investing Online:
1. Find a stock
This is the most obvious and most difficult step in stock trading. With well over 10,000 stocks to trade a good rule of thumb to consider is time of the year. For example, as I write this, it is the beginning of spring. It would make sense to consider stocks that traditionally make runs, or slide if you are bearish, during this time of year.
2. Fundamental Analysis
Many short term traders may disagree with the need to do ANY Fundamental Analysis, however knowing the chart patterns from the past and the news regarding the stock is relevant. An example would be earnings season. If you are planning
on playing a stock to the upside that has missed its earnings target the last 3 quarters, caution could be in order.
3. Technical Analysis
This is the part where indicators come in. Stochastics, the MACD, volume, moving averages, RSI, CCI, support levels, resistance levels and all the rest. The batch of indicators you choose, whether lagging or leading, may depend on where you get your education.
Keep it simple when first starting out, using too many indicators in the beginning is a ticket to the land of big losses. Get very comfortable using one or two indicators first. Learn their intricacies and you'll be sure to make better trades.
4. Follow your picks
Once you have placed a few stock trades you should be managing them properly. If the trade is meant to be a short term trade watch it closely for your exit signal. If it's a swing trade, watch for the indicators that tell you the trend is shifting. If it's a long term trade remember to set weekly or monthly checkups on the stock.
Use this time to keep abreast of the news, determine your price targets, set stop losses, and keep an eye on other stocks that you may want to own as well.
5. The big picture
As the saying goes, all ships rise and fall with the tide. Knowing which sectors are heating up stacks the chips in your favor.
For example, if you are long (expecting price to go up) on an oil stock and most of the oil sector is rising then more likely than not you are on the right side of the trade. Several trading platforms will give you access to sector-wide information so that you can get the education you need.

From Stocks & Commodities V. 18:10 (22-30):
Invented before World War II by a Tokyo newspaper writer who called himself “Ichimoku Sanjin” (a pen name meaning “a glance of a mountain man”), ichimoku charts are becoming a popular tool for Japanese traders once more, not only in equities but also in currencies, bonds, indices, commodities, and options. Literally, ichimoku means “one look”; a chart of this style is referred to as ichimoku kinkou-hyou — the table of equilibrium prices at a glance.
.
Only now, in the early 21st century, are western traders really beginning to understand the power of this charting system created by one Japanese newspaper writer before the second World War.
