Practical Guide to Stock Trading | Dr. Alexander Elder’s 'Trading for a Living'

• When the weekly trend is upward and the daily trend pulls back → a buying opportunity. • When the weekly trend is downward and the daily trend rallies → a selling opportunity. Second layer: Build upon the weekly chart by adding the daily chart plus KDJ and RSI indicators to determine optimal entry/exit timing. • In an upward weekly trend, a daily pullback → a buying opportunity. • In a downward weekly trend, a daily rebound → a selling opportunity. Third layer: Before entering a trade, set an initial stop-loss level. • Add to your position if the first trade becomes profitable; otherwise, be prepared to execute your stop-loss. • Exercise patience—wait for clear signal triggers before acting. When the weekly trend line approaches a resistance or support level, consider exiting the position. Author’s reminder: Before entering any trade, write down three numbers: your entry price, your profit target price, and your stop-loss price. Any trade undertaken without predefining these three values is gambling. 3. Volume is a critical indicator (monitor it constantly): • High volume confirms trend strength; a change of more than 25% in today’s volume versus the two-week average is significant. • If today’s volume exceeds yesterday’s, today’s trend is likely to persist. • Shrinking volume during an ongoing trend signals potential reversal. • A genuine breakout accompanying a new upward weekly trend typically occurs with exceptionally high volume; false breakouts usually show minimal volume. • Compared to market bottoms, market tops require longer timeframes to form reversals—and volume plays a decisive role throughout this process. The logic behind volume-price relationships is colloquially expressed on Wall Street as: “It takes collective buying to push prices up—but prices fall under their own weight.” 4. Maintain a clear, logical framework for entries and exits: Use fundamental analysis to identify stocks worth buying; use technical analysis to pinpoint optimal timing for entry/exit. Fundamental analysis identifies suitable stocks (slower-moving, trend-consistent, allowing for gradual position scaling); technical analysis assists in determining the best timing for entry. Try this quick test: Suppose a technical indicator generates buy signals in two different markets—would you buy the stock that has fallen sharply before the signal, or the one that has barely declined? The author’s analogy remains vivid in my memory: “If someone falls from a low step, he may dust himself off and sprint again immediately. But if he falls from a second-story window, he cannot possibly jump up and run right away—he needs time to recover.” Buy Logic: • Price within Bollinger Bands (below the 10-day or 22-day moving average), accompanied by rising volume 📈 and an uptrend. • Upward weekly trend + short-term daily trend turning upward + increasing volume. • Price above the 20-day moving average + short-term daily trend turning upward. • Set profit-taking levels (e.g., exit on a close below the 20-day MA; below the lower Bollinger Band—indicating oversold conditions; or below the long-term 60-day MA—triggering full exit and observation). • MACD divergence: Step back and objectively assess—buy, sell, or wait? • Avoid buying during periods of dense trading activity (e.g., 9:35–10:25 a.m., when I typically only sell, not buy). Review Checklist: Indicator 1 Indicator 2 Yes/No (☑️) Upward weekly trend Below middle Bollinger Band Rising volume day-by-day 5-day MA turning upward MACD divergence Bullish crossover with volume expansion Gap-up opening followed by strong advance Engulfing pattern Price in oversold Bollinger zone Volume expansion Hot sector/theme Sustained volume expansion Sell Logic: • Downward weekly trend. • MACD histogram crosses zero twice. • Declining volume over the past 10 days. • Price below the 20-day moving average. • Overbought condition (price above upper Bollinger Band).
