Charting for Beginners? Support-Resistance

How to Trade Stocks using Charts - Support and Resistance

Actually, support and resistance levels are not just for beginners to stock trading. Many professional stock traders time their shares buying and selling on nothing more complicated than support and resistance levels.

See the video from 'stock trading master' in which he explains everything in detail and in a very graphic manner, that is easy to understand.


Plus don't forget that the 4th quarter of the year is usually the best for buying stocks.
