Understanding Technical Analysis Of Stocks, Futures And Commodities
By Rockford Tapscott
Understanding Technical Analysis of stocks, futures and commodities can be a valuable tool in determining the trend of any market and assisting with entry and exit levels for your trades.
The goal of technical analysis in the stock, futures or commodities market is to help us determine when a market is trending, and when it is not. If a stock or futures contract we want to trade is trending, then we want to be on board. If it’s not, all you are going to do is lose money as you get whipsawed around day after day. This is not what we want as traders
If you trade using a weekly chart, all it takes is a couple of trends a year to make a lot of money trading. If you trade something like that S&P Emini futures contract, using a 3 minute chart, then you’ll need one or two of these strong trends a day to do well, but it’s all relative.
