Advantages
When Trading Stocks Using Technical Data:
All fundamental factors affecting a stock’s value are assumed to be reflected in the charts, allowing investors to quickly identify trends without having to research every piece of fundamental data.
Technical Programmable Mathematical Algorithms:
These algorithms can be created and used to give investors an edge over those who do not employ such methods. They are particularly effective for trading firms, banks, broker-dealers, and in professional day trading and swing trading strategies. These programs are especially useful for trading medium to large-cap stocks.
Identifying Technical Historical Trading Patterns:
Charts showing trading volume and buy vs. sell activity help traders predict new trends, trend reversals, and the strength of these trends. This enables the identification of timely entry and exit points to maximize potential profits.
When Technical Data Aligns with Fundamentals:
When basic technical trends coincide with fundamental data, it provides a double confirmation of future trends or reversals for buying or selling. Such confirmations are highly valued by experienced investors, especially for trading penny stocks for explosive gains.
