What technical indicators are best? Rookie Swing Trader Journal July 29, 2021

Yesterday, I continued studying swing trading from here... https://www.swing-trade-stocks.com/swing-trading-basics.html

This is what I learned and this will be my new strategy from 27 July 2021. 

  • 4 Stages - There are 4 stock market stages. Bottom, uptrend, top, and downtrend
  • 5 Waves - There are 5 uptrend Elliott waves and 3 correction waves. Buy on wave 2. Hold on Wave 3. Sell on wave 4. 
  • Trends - Trade trending stocks. Characterized by higher highs and higher lows. 
  • Identify a new trend using Trader Vic's 3-step method. 1. A trendline is broken. 2. There is a retest and failure. 3. Price falls below the prior low. Use the 10 (SMA) and 30 (EMA) period moving average crossover scan for step 2. Step 3 confirms trend change. Does not work in a sideways trading range. 
  • Bulls and Bear - The 200 SMA is used to separate bull territory from bear territory. 
  • Support and Resistance - Stocks do not find support or run into resistance on moving averages. Stocks to reverse that price level. 
  • The more times a stock hits a support or resistance area the weaker it becomes (and the possibility of a breakout increases).
  • Buy at support. Sell at resistance. 
  • Volume? Not important?
  • THERE IS NOTHING ON A CHART THAT MATTERS MORE THAN PRICE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS SECONDARY.
  • Candlesticks - Stocks tend to move in the direction of wide-range candles. Narrow range candles imply low volatility. Enter a stock in periods of low volatility and exit a stock in periods of high volatility. 
  • Candlestick reversal patterns... https://www.swing-trade-stocks.com/candlestick-patterns.html
  • Reading stock charts. 
  • What stage is this stock in?
  • Is this stock in an uptrend or a downtrend?
  • Is the stock at the beginning, middle, or end of the trend?
  • How strong is the trend?
  • Where are the trend lines?
  • What wave is this stock in?
  • What do the moving averages tell me?
  • Was there a breakout recently?
  • Is the chart "smooth" or "sloppy"?
  • Are there any chart patterns?
  • Are there wide-range candles in the direction of the trend?
  • Are there any gaps in the direction of the trend?
  • Are professionals selling strengths or buying weaknesses?
  • Where are the support and resistance areas?
  • Is this stock at a Fibonacci level?
  • What does volume tell me?
  • What technical indicators are best? Stop the madness! The only thing you need is an understanding of price actionThe main thing that you are trying to figure out on a chart is the psychology of other traders. Look for support and resistance, trend lines, and emotional extremes.

PS: I would like to thank the following...

Note to self:
  • Buy Market price when I see a signal. Don't buy at a Limit price. 
  • Buy on dip from late April to early May 2021.
  • Sell in May and go away. Reinvest in November.
  • August is a particularly strong month, September is an especially bad month for stocks.
  • 10% strategy is not efficient. 5% profit is faster to reach. Hence Change to >$100 target strategy instead. 
  • Buy quickly once I identify a stock to buy.
  • Queue GTD for every buys and sells. 
  • Missed SEAC spike 3 times within a week. Dropped to negative immediately after the spike. Lesson - Queue up to sell using GTD. Forget about using alerts.
  • Premarket moves are irrelevant and distracting. Stop tracking them. 
  • Sell immediately if price spikes on news.
  • Remove emotion from the equation.
  • Sell. Don't hold. Don't be greedy. 
  • Sell when the target is hit. Don't hold. 
  • I need a cut-loss strategy.
  • If I don't sell, I will have no capital to buy. 
  • Locking the profits at hand is better than risking the losing direction.
  • How to recover from stock market losses? How to recover my money lost? How to win my trading losses back? 
  • The best way to recover after losing money in the stock market is to invest again.
