Do you want to know the most important reason why people don't make money is that they are discretionary traders since starting which makes them buy and sell stocks based on their emotions. When emotion empowers their trading journey they sell stocks even with little profits and if their stocks fall then they continue maintaining their position even though a lot of people anticipate something different will happen and continue remaining in the stock which doesn't make their journey profitable. So today I will be telling you a system or things that you can do when trading in the stock market which can increase your chances of being a profitable person.

System with Specific Indicators and Considerations:

Fundamental Analysis - Identifying Strong Companies:

  • Industry Trends:

    • Look for industries with projected growth exceeding the overall market (use analyst reports, and industry publications).

    • Identify sectors benefiting from tailwinds like technological advancements, economic policies, or consumer behavior shifts.

  • Company Analysis:

    • Financial health: Scrutinize financial statements (earnings reports, balance sheets) for:

      • Consistent revenue and earnings growth

      • Healthy profit margins (gross, operating, net)

      • Manageable debt levels

      • Strong cash flow generation

    • Management quality: Research the management team's experience, track record, and strategic vision.

    • Competitive advantage: Identify what sets the company apart from its competitors (brand recognition, unique technology, etc.).

Fundamental Red Flags (Signs of a Bad Company):

  • Declining revenue or earnings

  • Shrinking profit margins

  • High debt levels with limited cash flow

  • Frequent management changes

  • Negative press or legal issues

Technical Analysis - Entry and Exit with Price Action, MA, RSI, and OBV:

Entry Signals:

  • Price Action: Look for a bullish breakout above a key resistance level or a continuation pattern within an uptrend.

  • Moving Averages: The price should be trading above a rising 50-day and 200-day MA for confirmation of the uptrend.

  • RSI: The RSI should be below 70 to avoid entering an overbought stock.

  • OBV: The OBV should be trending upwards with the price, indicating increasing buying pressure.

Wait for Confirmation: Ensure all these indicators (price action, MA, RSI, OBV) align before entering a long trade.

Exit Signals:

  • Stop-Loss: Use a trailing stop-loss placed below a key support level (e.g., previous swing low, 200-day MA) to limit downside risk. Adjust the stop-loss as the price moves up.

  • Profit Taking: Consider taking profits at a pre-determined level based on a price target (e.g., a specific percentage gain) or technical signals (e.g., RSI reaching overbought territory).

  • Technical Reversal: Exit the trade if you see a bearish reversal pattern (e.g., head and shoulders formation) or a break below key support levels.

  • Fundamental Deterioration: Monitor company news and financial performance. If fundamentals weaken significantly, consider exiting the position.

Re-Entry:

  • Wait for a Pullback: Re-enter the trade only if the price pulls back and finds support at a previous moving average or retracement level, with confirmation from bullish price action and indicators.

Complete Exit:

  • Full Profit Target Reached: Exit the trade entirely if your pre-determined profit target is achieved.

  • Stop-Loss Triggered: Exit the trade immediately if your stop-loss is hit.

  • Market Crash: If the overall market experiences a significant downturn, consider exiting all positions to manage risk.

Additional Considerations:

  • Volatility: Adapt your stop-loss levels based on the stock's historical volatility.

  • Position Sizing: Allocate a reasonable portion of your capital to each trade, avoiding overexposure.

  • Risk Management: Always prioritize risk management by using stop-loss orders and proper position sizing.

Remember:

  • Backtest your system thoroughly before risking real capital.

  • Paper trade to practice your strategy and refine your skills.

  • The market is dynamic; be prepared to adapt your system as needed.

  • This is not financial advice. Always do your research before investing.

By combining these fundamental and technical analysis elements, you can make informed trading decisions while managing risk through trailing stop-losses and well-defined entry/exit strategies. Remember, a successful person requires discipline, patience, and continuous learning.
