But in actual combat, I don't know the success rate, so you still need to set a stop loss just in case. The buying point of this kind of disk shape is when it falls below the intraday moving average. After a period of rapid decline at a large angle, a heavy volume is accompanied by a needle-shaped k-line is the buying point, and the selling point is to rebound to the moving average. Nearby, the stop loss point is the lowest buying point k-line.
Investing 101 : Ma is good for spotting overall trend and dynamic support. But breaking above and below to initiate a buy or sell you might get trapped more often than not. You need to pair it with other indicators. One that I use is volume analysis. Volume is to show whether breakout is real or false. 2nd is to spot whether a retrace is a pullback or a short term trend reversal.
Investing 101 : Volume is the most important indicator for trading as it can't be manipulated and it shows whether smart money in moving in the direction you are planning to move. If you go opposite you get trapped
NANA123 OP Investing 101 : Thanks for your helpful advice
Questionable Invts : With amount cash these investment firms have they're capable of flipping you chart upside down. If they want stop forward movement they can. You can spend all time crafting your plan. But like great man once side everybody got plan till get punched in face.

NANA123 OP Evelynne :
protraderx : I have been day trading for close to 3 years now. It is high reward high risk but the skill you gained even if you lose a lot of money from day trading 1min to 15min chart is invaluable and comes in handy for timing entry for overnight swing trade and longer term trade. If you are day trading, you need to move away from indicators as it will cloud our judgement. EMA is used only for reference but as will all MA or EMA, they are way too laggy. Infact they are probably the most laggy indicators. Spending thousand of hours of screen time is required to understand the psychology and behaviour of the market. Be careful of dreaded algo.
NoCanDoPDX : idk, it's easy to talk about signals on a chart where you can see where the price went because the chart shows a period that is in the past. You can circle every point where the price increased rapidly and call it what you want in combination with whatever indicator you feel like but in reality and in real time when money is on the line, the charts really don't cooperate with those rules and you can't identify the patterns as they are happening because a pattern can only be confirmed as you look back on the price movement, not so much while you are waiting for each candlestick to appear, one after the next. At times you might go hey, this looks like the same thing that happened the other day, and volume looks the same, and the averages are in the right places, and the Bollinger bands are within the same parameters, hot dayum I'm gonna put five bills on this trade instead of one and I'm gonna double it within the next few candlesticks, so you go for it, and what do you know, it didn't go your way pal, you didn't realize that today is Friday and your last trade was Monday, and yep that explains everything, the rules aren't the same on those days. And you can make sure you're doing it on the same day of the week next time and chances are, you'll learn that it also has to be the same time of the month or some shit, or the price point wasn't the same. Or you explain it away by the sector just doing poorly. Or your gma turned 69. You can keep making these rules as you go broke but if there were rules, then don't you think someone somewhere would be able to follow them to a t with almost a flawless record. Every trade profitable? Doesn't work that way.
NANA123 OP protraderx : Thanks so much for your diligent suggestion, I will remember in my heart and spend more time to screen time
