Your stock chart settingsThe stock chart settings are different from trader to trader. You should have your own chart setting based on how your own personal preferences and your trading system. There are a few different things to consider when deciding how you want to have your chart set up.
1. What type of chart do you want to use? There are 3 different charts you can set up. These are bar charts, line charts, and candlesticks. Each trader will prefer to use one over the others. The most commonly used is probably the candlestick charts. 2. What oscillators do you want to use? Oscillators are mathematical equations that give you buy and sell signals on a given stock. You may choose to use one or two of these on your chart to help with your system. If you do this remember to not overdo it. There is no need for a trader to use too many oscillators on their chart. That might actually hurt your performance and make it more difficult to follow the price of a stock. 3. How many charts can you monitor at one time? Yes, some places out there will actually let you see more then 1 chart at a time. This can help you find more trades at a faster pace. However you may find it is just easier to look at 1 chart at a time. Simplicity works. You may actually want to use different setting for different trading systems. Maybe you use different oscillators for covered calls then you do for just buying and selling stock. In this case you could have different stock chart settings for each system. Picking out what you want to put on your chart is important but don’t get carried away. It is developing a system that is actually important to your success. You should develop your chart around that. Already have your chart set?Do you already know how you like to have your stock chart set? If you do congradulations!
