When the price closes away from that high, then the buying
pressure has weakened, or selling pressure gained. Either way, it is
not good for the traders in a long position. If there is a close that
occurs far from the highs, it would trigger a sell signal on the
oscillator. The Stochastic also shows when selling pressure is gaining
or weakening. Traders can then make decisions about the strength of
the trend in the stock or forex price. That is what technical chart
analysis can offer you as a trader or investor.
A common mistake among beginning traders is that they consider a
breakout when the stock or currency makes a new intraday high or low.
Buying new day highs and selling new day lows is a low percentage
trade most of the time.
Professional traders and trading firms look for this as a classic novice
move, and act upon it by taking the other side of the trade. Another
mistake when trading a breakout is taking the setup after the stock or
forex has made a big move. The risk reward when making this type of
trade late in the trend is less successful.
Traders need to learn charting as best they can. You can start to
recognize repeatable chart patterns in trending markets. This shows us
the trend of the buyers and sellers. Stochastic Oscillator is part of
that learning process. The purpose of charting is to develop a simple
and easy ability to read your charts without confusion.
Allowing traders to take the lowest risk and highest potential winning
trades available. Your trading charts will show you the lower risk buy
points instead of creating a high risk trade for yourself which often
results in you losing money.
Prices of stocks, commodities, and currencies are all traded to
the same supply and demand as is any other market. This is why you
will often see prices drop after a company meets expectations for an
announcement. The demand for the stock prior to the release overpowers
the supply.
Sellers realized this and raised their prices they were asking for shares.
Buyers, in a feeble attempt to own shares, will raise the amount they
are willing to pay for them. Your trading system should be consistent
with low risk high reward profits. Traders should learn different
charting techniques like the stochastic oscillator on their trading
charts to increase their reward risk ratio.
