MY EBOOK! http://www.ryanoscribner.com/stock-trading In this stock market video I will be explaining some of the most commonly used trading indicators. These indicators are very useful for seeing the bigger picture when stock trading. There is a lot more to trading stocks than simply tracking the closing prices on a line chart. The first stock market trading indicator is charts. There are three common charts used: 1. “Line Chart” – A stock's closing price over a designated period of time. 2. “Bar Chart” – Vertical bars that represent a stock’s price range for the day. 3. “Candlestick Charts” – A combination of a line chart and a bar chart. The second stock market trading indicator I use is volume. Volume is, simply put, how many shares of the stock change hands each day. Volume is an excellent confirmation tool because it is not a derivative or price. Another trading indicator I like to use is simple moving averages. A simple moving average is a stock’s average closing price over a designated period of time. I typically follow the 20, 40, 50 and 200 day simple moving averages of a stock. The fourth Stock market trading indicator I use is the relative strength index. This is an oscillator that measures a particular stock’s current relative strength as compared to its own price history. “Oscillator” – Momentum indicator, tells whether a stock trades in an overbought or oversold condition. Overbought, meaning trading at the upper end of its price range. Oversold, meaning trading at the lower end of its price range. Another stock market trading indicator I use is gaps. A gap is an open space in a stock’s price window created by an absence of trading at that price level. The sixth stock market trading indicator I use is on balance volume. This is a line chart that shows whether money is flowing into or out of a stock. The volume is considered up-volume if the stock closes higher. The volume is considered down-volume if the stock closes lower. If you are looking for more stock market indicators to use, I recommend MACD or “moving average convergence divergence” or Stochastics. I recommend picking a few trading indicators to follow and sticking with those. There are dozens to choose from and trying to learn them all would be impossible. This leads to information overload. Too many chef’s spoil the broth.

I am a nutrition and fitness crusader and I consider myself to be a life student of personal development. I am also an investor. I went from being an overweight college student to living at 8% body fat. About two years ago when I started weight lifting, I was completely clueless. I never played sports in high school and I had no base level of fitness established. I made many mistakes, but over time I developed an understanding. I want to help others develop the body, spirit and mind they deserve. In making mistakes along the way and learning from scratch, I have a lot of value to bring to the table. I recommend my content to those interested in the accumulation of wealth, fitness and nutrition as well as personal growth and development. Recently, I made my own happiness a priority after living with depression for over a year. I want to share with you exactly what I did to get to a state of perpetual lasting happiness. I have also spent a great deal of time learning about investment and wealth accumulation. While money alone doesn't bring happiness, it allows you to experience many things which do bring happiness. Start the journey. Involve the right mentors and coaches. Learn.
