How To Find The Trend On A Chart

July 3rd, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

A funny thing happens when you put up a price chart and ask people to define what the trend is.Even when it seems completely obvious without question, you still will get many different answers to the same chart which should not happen.This results from people not knowing how to find a trend on a price chart with any speed or accuracy.  It is actually quite simple, and is a key thing to know if you want to learn to trade.

The first thing to do is to size the chart properly.There is no real point in loading 5 years of data on a stock you plan to day trade and hold for a mere 5 minutes.  So here is a guide for what you need as far as time loaded on a chart:

Daytrade:

  1. 1 min chart:  Have at least 2 hours of data (120 bars) on the screen but no more than 6 hours (1 full day).
  2. 2 to 5 min chart: Make sure you have at least 3 hours of data up, but no more than 2 days.
  3. 10-15 min chart:  Have at least 3 days of data up, but no more than 1 week.

For swing trades, which are a longer term hold, you will want a 10 to 30 minute chart on your screen, and additionally about 10 days of data.

As soon as you have the chart data up on your screen, change the bar type to a "bar chart" style.  This is easier to see the trend.Start by looking for every V bottom area.  Anytime there is a low with a V bounce, make note of it.Additionally, look for / top areas where the price spikes up and then sells off sharply.  Concentrate on the major ones (meaning it makes a significant move away from that area in a short time).  Next, get your drawing tool and connect the V to each other V.  Connect the / to each other /.  Connect the low of the V, the highs of the /.  Again, this is a key to learn how to trade.

Lines that slope up to the upper right corner mean the stock is currently in an uptrend.  Lines that slope from the upper left down to the right means the stock is in a downtrend.Another easy method: Go to the first bar on the left, and then to the very last price on the right hand side.  Draw a line between the two.if the line is pointing upward - this is an uptrend.if the line is sloping down to the right, then the trend is a downtrend.  The other key thing to look at is the oscillations around this trendline.  Does it go +/- 2pts, +/- 1pt, +/- .50 etc - on average, not exact.This is how you can tell in general the strength of the trend.The lower the general oscillation in price, the stronger the trend is.The thinking here is that the price hardly oscillates because the buyers in an uptrend chase is up and bid, and the sellers in a downtrend chase it down and offer so it does not really counter move much.

Another thing to keep in mind the more you practice, the faster it gets - the lines are no longer necessary.I can glance at a chart and know the trend and approximate strength within seconds.Additionally, you really need to know the trend direction and strength on the next higher timeframe than you are trading on.  For example, on a 5 minute chart the trend might be up, but on a 15 minute chart it is still down.This needs to be focused on, because a longer term trend can often pull the shorter term trend back in line.  In general, you want a higher term chart to be a multiple of 3 vs the chart you are trading.So the way it works is if on a 1 min chart, you also want to look at a 3 minute chart - if you are using a 5 minute chart, you want to look at a 15 min chart also.  Once you can easily tell the trend of any chart, other aspects of learning to trade become much easier.

Problems to finance a car?

June 29th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

Co-written by: Storage Recliners. The year we turn 16 is a special one for all of us. This is the time we’re let loose with the ability to drive - watch out world, here we come. And all that means just one thing… finally, we can own our very own car!

The problem with financing a car is that you do have to put quite a lot of effort into it. When you’re financing a car, you have several options to choose between, be it using your savings or getting loans from various sources. If you can manage it, financing a car with your own savings is really something to boast about.

This method of financing a car gives you bragging rights because you got there yourself, and the car is totally yours.

Financing a car through a loan from your parents or company or another third party is also something that happens a lot. Most of the time, parents are willing to help out with financing a car if it’s your first.

Working in a company for more than a certain number of years mean that you are eligible to apply and receive a loan from that company for the reason of financing a car, and a stipulated amount will be cut off from your monthly salary for a certain number of months until the loan is paid off. More often than not there is some kind of interest rate that applies to this loan, but the rates are generally much lower than the going rates in the market. Getting a loan or a lease from a bank is another story. Interest rates cause the biggest difficulties when financing a car through banks. Banks usually charge pretty high interest rates (which have only risen higher in the present economic situation), and so if you are financing a car through these means you will end up paying the bank almost double the amount of the loan or lease you have received.

As with all other things, think about all your options available and decide on which suits your pocket, lifestyle and budget the best. And enjoy your car!

Car loans

June 29th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

With Help Of: Retro Look Recliners. Car dealers are budding like mushrooms in the present age. Many of these dealers offer different car loans financing to clients, tempting them to apply on one that looks good at first sight. But a person should know that choosing a car financing loan that’s reliable takes time and a lot of effort. Cars are a high-involvement product and hence require more time in selecting the best. 

Car loans financing means only one thing; even though you purchase a car, it would be under a loan and therefore requires you to pay back in amounts that are quite higher than what one would imagine.

The benefits of getting your car financed by an online financial institute are that you can compare your rates with other rates. Also it will be more up to date than a financial service provided by a bank or a dealership. These are not as competitive as an online car finance deal. But there are some frauds to be watched out for when you deal online. 

Some online auto finance dealers dealing with car loans financing lets you use an online car payment calculator. Using these calculators gives you the chance of calculating your present financial status and the ability of paying back the loan. Analyzing your financial status is always better before getting your hands on a car financing loan and being stuck forever with late payments.

Your bank would be a better place to start analyzing the car finance which you are going to acquire. Car financing could be confusing at times but a better understanding prior to getting one would make life much easier. Educating yourself on car financing would be possible with the websites dedicated to educate you with the field. These websites will also let you choose a finance company out of many trusted companies. 

The danger of car loans financing occurs when a person finds it difficult to make the loan payments on time. Until the total amount is paid, the car usually belongs to the bank or the particular car dealer you are dealing with. There is always a probability of the car being repossessed if you are unable to settle your dues on time.
