Investing for the future:
Stock trading is an exciting way to make money. There are as many fortunes to be made in the market as there are strategies for trading. The trading strategies in this material can be termed as swing trading in growth stocks and market etfs. I will help you learn how to judge a chart and get a feel for the direction of it's movements.

Obstacles and Opportunities:
Perhaps you are a new graduate just starting a career, or changing careers, or a student, or a young parent who wants to improve his/her financial position. You can do it through wise planning and thought out strategies. The markets go up at certain times and the markets go down at other times. The money to be made is in playing it to your advantage. Warren Buffett has said; "The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as businesses, use market fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety."1 The information presented here and the software application will help you better recognise patterns and trade at successfull times.

You may feel confident that you can successfully trade and can learn as you go. Be careful though and realize that most frequent traders who are trying to beat what's been termed the "unbeatable game" lose money over the long run. You're competing with some of the brightest, hardest working people laboring as institutional traders, brokers, and orderfiller specialists. Realize that for traders who make frequent moves the game maybe rigged in favor of the trade exchange, brokerage house, and the IRS.

Many fund managers believe in long term investing. Peter Lynch who was the manager of Magellan fund at Fidelity from 1977-1990, and boasted a 29% average annual growth was a staunch believer in this type of investing. He even compared frequent trading with the racetracks, blackjack and online poker. He said, "The drawback to the casino is the paperwork. Make twenty trades per day, and you could end up with 5000 trades per year, all of which must be tabulated and recorded, tabulated, and reported to the IRS. So day trading is a casino that supports a lot of accountants."2

As I said before there are many ways to trade. I encourage any new investor to study all the literature available and put together a strategy that works for them. If you choose to invest a portion of your money in short term trading the great news is that even with these obstacles in place many fortunes have been made and will continue to be made. The information presented here will help you in becoming successful.

As a seasoned stock trader once said almost a century ago "there nothing new in Wall Street. There can't be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again."3 Stocks move in general directions and follow somewhat predictable paths and patterns. The trick is to remember from experience what has happened in the past (how the herd reacted) and to remember that information to judge and predict what will likely happen around the corner. That's the benefit of this software. It is designed to aid the trader in interpreting a stock chart pattern and predicting points of buy and sell. One more tool to help the investor make wise decisions at the right time in acquiring and liquidating positions in the market.
