We are sending orders to our online stock broker during any trade several times. There are entry orders, exit orders and other orders that we use. What orders do you use ?
I personally recommend to use these type of orders when managing any particular stock trade.
I use my stock and etf screening method daily. I have found two good international etf trading opportunities with this method now. There are EPHE and EPU. One is Philippines ETF and one is International ETF for Peru.
I am going to monitor price development of these two exchange traded funds. I plan to trade these opportunities soon in some good pullback.
Private traders tend to define any trade done with discount stock broker for lowest possible fees as low cost stock trade.
But every time I argue that stock broker fees are not biggest problem for any private trader. The most important issue to achieve low cost stock trade is to manage stock trading risk accordingly. Only trades with minimal risks can be named as low cost stock trades.
I have notices multiple bearish stock chart patterns on charts of THOR. There are Head and shoulders stock chart patterns on daily, weekly and also monthly time frame.
I have this stock in my bearish stock list these days but as earning date is close I do not want to enter trade now.
Internet banking and online stock market trading broker are common these days. Both use Internet as medium that allows communicate between us and online trading broker.
But Internet is not secure medium. It is quite dangerous medium. So there is the problem of safe usage of the Internet.
How do you protect your communication with your broker ? Do you use only username and password to login to your online trading brokerage accounts ? I personally recommend to use more safe options to secure access to any online trading broker.
I have SBUX in my bull list of stocks I want to trade on long side. It is one of tickers produced by my best screening method. I monitor this stock as it moves up without any specific retracement or pullback.
I do not want to buy this stock now. The patience is key in profitable trading. The chasing of any trade is not profitable way for stock trading. I would like to see nice pullback before new entry into trade with this stock.
Utility ETF now presents nice technical pullback in its uptrend move. The ETF technical chart is in bullish situation . Moving averages provide support. It could be good stock pick for next days for long trade. I personally monitor this sector ETF as trade opportunity.
There are times when stock market is bullish and when is bearish. It is not always in one direction although a lot of buy-and-hold investors believe that there is only one direction – only up. But when you see what stock market have done during last decade you will see that there are also negative periods.
It is important to understand how to manage your portfolio also in these negative periods on stock markets. The first step that is necessary is to understand when situation is bearish in any particular stock , sector or total market.
I have noticed during my regular ETF analysis routine that Russell 2000 ETF is now relatively weak. This index ETF tracks small caps on US stock market . It is better to choose SP500 index ETF with symbol SPY to trade long ETF swing and day trading strategies these days.
This stock has quite bearish stock chart. There is bearish stock chart pattern and also relative strength analysis points to further weakness. This stock could be good addition to list of stocks for possible short selling strategy.
