Image
Learning to trade stocks is like other businesses. It demands a lot of dedication as well as time and money. People take months or even years to get a grip over skill that is needed just like to be an engineer or a lawyer if you take an example. I have seen traders looking at trading as a hobby or a side project. but in reality you start thinking of it as a hobby. you will lose money continuously. Also, many traders put money earned from their job and lose , as they don't have any strategies to enter into a trade. Before making any strategies , some skills you need to develop before you actually jump into trading. I have categorized it into five parts, these are , 1.)

In Trading , its often said that Trend is a Friend , in other words , you should follow the trend. So , I have a question in mind , When exactly to follow the trend  ?

How to know a trend is strong?

Image
Before coming to this question. Let put some light on basically what a trend is ? A trend can be considered as a series of data points that moves in a certain direction ( up , down , sideways ) over given time frame . A basic understanding of candlesticks is also needed :P A candlestick is a price chart that displays the high , low , close , open prices of a security for a specific period Now we know what are candlesticks are and what trend is , There are two conditions to determine if a trend is strong or not, 1.) The close price of previous time frame is equal to the open price of current time frame. And 2.) The body of the candlestick is bigger than the average size of the candlesticks.
