Key to stock market profits?Picture via corporatefinanceinstitute.comLooking for the holy grailFor many years wonks have looked for patterns in the stock market. They theorize that patterns that have repeatedly in the past preceded an up or down move should do the same thing again. These signals can be used to predict stock market or individual stock movements and ideally give an investor a strong signal when to buy and when to sell.Over the years, researchers have used technical analysis (using charts of price movements and other statistics) to search for a method to chart patterns and then analyze them with the objective of using them for investing. They came up with many kinds of charts, for example, candlestick, bar, and line charts.Traditional charts (like those mentioned above) simply plot price movement on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. A single chart can contain multiple lines, such as a 7-day moving average of the price along with a 28-day moving average. The signal to buy or sell could be when one price line crosses another. Charters may develop more complex charts and more complicated buy and sell signals. For example, also keeping track of daily volume might be used as another indicator of a coming price move.About 125 years ago, point and figure charts were conceived.Point and figure (p & f) chartsPoint and figure charts also attempt to predict when stocks will start a profitable up or down move. Another way to look at this is: when has an uptrend stopped and a significant downtrend has begun (or vice versa). The distinctive feature of a p & f chart is that time is not a factor. Time is not plotted on the horizontal (x-) axis nor is it considered in any way.The object is to see price trends\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
