Newbie to Trading

hello all,

i'm new to stocks trading and would like some advice. Besides fundamentals, may i know which particular technical indicators to take special note of, to be effective in the markets?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bluy

Welcome to T2W
My personal view is that technical indicators should be left until your profitable using basic support, resistance and trendlines. Once you have mastered these then you can start to look at indicators.
For details on Support, Resistance and Trendlines have a look in the T2W Knowledge Lab for The Basics of Trading

Hope this helps

He's absolutely right, too. I just wish I'd had someone to tell me that when I started!

The most basic indicator is the Moving Average, as this will show you the trend, be it up, down, or sideways movement. Familiarise yourself with that in addition to the above contributers, before moving on to the 130 or more indicators, all of which have their use depending on the instrument your trading.

Remember keep it simple or your likely to confuse yourself.
