Technical Trading Observations

Indicators can be helpful, however you should remember that indicators are lagging and secondary to price.  If the price action is up and the indicator is still pointed down, follow the price.  “Price is king” means price is most important.

Trade with the trend of the chart you are trading and continue to move your profit protection stops.  Continue to follow your rules.

Follow your rules and look for potential re-entry if you were stopped out of any profitable trades.

Remember breakouts typically test about 70% of the time.

Technical analysis based trades should be closed before earnings.

Trade what you see, not…


Stocks below support should generally be traded bearishly until a reversal pattern forms.
