The trend is your best friend

My key to these trades started with alot of research through multiple news sources...you can never have enough information and google has plenty of it. Make sure you are investing in a good company or atleast some news that may tip you off to a possible breakout. Next I study my charts tracking the progress from 1 year...3 months...1 month..1 week. Then I buy at a price that I'm confident will hold my average with just a slight fluctuation. Then I set my sell order for a decent profit range not a peak or some wild prediction. Just keep making small gains as much as I can. I use my monthly and yearly moving averages to base my buy price on. When the volume is well above average and price is going to a previous high or better its time to get out while your ahead
