Stock Maket Trading Lesson - How to REALLY Trade Markets

Stock Market Conclusion

Stock market correction so far has been fairly mild with the tech stocks not reaching levels to offer enough of a discount to justify exposure to in the face of the coming inflation storm. Whilst October is not done with yet i.e. we could yet see a final leg down, especially given the potential for earnings surprises form the tech giants due over the next 10 days.. However with each passing day such an outcome diminishes, thus the stock market appears to be gearing up for another run to new all time highs which given the mild correction so far suggests that the Dow could trade nearer to 40k, than 37k by the end of this year.

However, my outlook for 2022 sees worsening conditions that will see transitory inflation become permanent, so there is going to come a time when investors will do the math of what high inflation means for future corporate earnings, i.e. lower earnings due to rising costs and less disposable incomes. Hence it remains highly probable that most stocks will trade to below their October 2021 lows during 2022.

34th Anniversary of the Greatest Crash in Stock Market History - 1987

It's that time of the year again when the stock market reaches the historic apex of the darkest month for stocks of the year, October the 19th, the 34th anniversary of the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash that few saw coming but ever since many expect to repeat. So regardless of what the stock market has actually done thus far, by this point of the year the perma bears can always be seen literally jumping up and down like demented rabbits proclaiming that a crash is once more imminent as they point to a myriad of harbingers of the stock market apocalypse. So it is no wonder that October tends to be an unusually irrational month for where stock market expectations are concerned. However note that EVERY crash in the general stock market indices such as the Dow, S&P and FTSE have always resolved in the mother of all buying opportunities.

Anyway here's how I successfully traded the 1987 Crash 34 years ago.

Key Lesson - How to REALLY Trade Markets

Reacting to price movements in real time as they approach, retreat and break Support and Resistance levels! That's how one actually successfully trades markets, sounds simple enough but you get out what you put in and what you need to put in is TIME watching the markets moving in real time.

It's what got me short on the Dow BEFORE it crashed in 1987. And it is not as easy as it sounds as it demands commitment in terms of time. To sit there every trading day watching maybe no more than 2 markets move between and through support and resistance levels for only then will one have the price imprinted onto ones neural net (brain), to become synchronised with that market.

Go long when prices break resistance, short when prices break support. counting the buy / sell triggers as one goes along which reinforce the direction of travel. Intra-day trading demands sitting there for a good 6 hours a day watching perhaps just 2 markets move, which I do not have the time for. So when trading my preference is for end of day trading i.e. utilising the daily charts instead of intraday.

One of the first trading books I read put me onto this track "How to Make Profits in Commodities" by WD Gann, tops and bottoms, highs and lows, and multiples thereof and that was basically how I viewed the markets mostly in terms of tops and bottoms, highs and lows. For instance the Dow bottomed at 18,213 in March 2020, the Low forecasts resistance at 150% and 200% at 27,319, and 36,425, and then you have percentages of ranges (1/8ths) and so on.

At that time I remember being skeptical of trend lines, perhaps they worked less well then than now with so many technical traders out there?

Today?

In addition to tops and bottoms I count moving averages as being of next importance and then trend lines.

This is what Facebook's trading chart looks like, and no I am not trading Facebook stock, just keeping a close eye on it as I aim to buy more given that it is less over valued than it's FAANG brethren.

The stock bounced from the 200 day moving average and cleared 2 minor resistance levels, that's as far as the trading would take it i.e. 3 minor buy triggers.
