I want to learn Trading but where to start?
There are numerous technical analysis strategies used in trading, each with its own level of efficiency depending on market conditions and individual preferences. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of a strategy can vary greatly from one trader to another, as success often depends on the trader’s skill, experience, and ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Below are some commonly used technical analysis strategies, ranked in no particular order that you will be able to find for ProRealTime, MetaTrader (or MT4) or TradingView platforms:
- Trend Following Strategies:
- Moving Averages: This strategy involves using moving averages (e.g., simple moving averages or exponential moving averages) to identify trends and potential entry/exit points.
- Trendlines: Drawing trendlines on price charts to identify and follow trends.
- Momentum Strategies:
- Relative Strength Index (RSI): Identifies overbought and oversold conditions, potentially signaling reversals or continuations.
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): Measures the strength and direction of a trend using moving averages.
- Breakout Strategies:
- Support and Resistance: Identifying key support and resistance levels and trading breakouts above resistance or below support.
- Bollinger Bands: Using volatility-based bands to identify potential breakouts or reversals.
- Reversal Strategies:
- Candlestick Patterns: Recognizing reversal patterns like Doji, Engulfing, and Hammer patterns.
- RSI and Stochastic Divergence: Looking for divergences between price and oscillator readings to signal potential reversals.

- Volume Analysis:
- Analyzing trading volume to confirm or diverge from price movements.
- Divergence Analysis:
- Examining divergences between various technical indicators (e.g., MACD, RSI) and price action.
- Pivot Points:
- Using pivot points to identify potential support and resistance levels.
- Parabolic SAR:
- Using the Parabolic SAR indicator to follow trends and identify potential reversal points.

It’s important to remember that no single technical analysis strategy is universally superior, and their effectiveness can vary based on market conditions and individual trading styles. Traders often combine multiple strategies and indicators to create a personalized trading approach that suits their goals and risk tolerance. Additionally, risk management and discipline are essential components of successful trading, regardless of the strategy used. Traders should thoroughly backtest and practice any strategy before applying it with real money and should be prepared to adapt to changing market conditions.
And this is a very long and painful process out of wich 80% of apprentice traders loose their money along the way.
