How to use technical analysis stock market routine to improve online stocks trading
Online stock trading tips for technical stock market analysis
Technical analysis stock market routine is one tool which could make our life as stock trader/active investors much easier. I use technical analysis a lot, as you know.
Stock market could be analyzed also by fundamental analysis, but I think it is not useful for short term trading. One of my beliefs about stock market is that fundamental analysis is not very usable for everyday short term trading. Even you have fundamental opinion about economy or another issues that affect stock prices then stock market could react differently. It is not good to fight the market. It is much better to monitor situation when current stock market prices are not synchronized with your opinion and wait for change. And when technical stock market analysis starts to be in the same direction as your fundamental opinion, then you can start active trade your ideas. Stocks, stock market indexes and prices of other important markets like commodities, currencies or bonds can be analyzed by simple tools which help to do technical analysis.
Stock market charts
are easily readable using some form of technical analysis. As I mention several times on this site and my blog, the best way is to keep your technical analysis of stocks simple. Do not use
too many indicators,
just use basic concepts of technical analysis. Stock market charts are much easily readable this way.

list of my ETF.

relative strength
or best relative weakness to US market indexes and put them into my watch list for further monitoring during a trading day or trading week.
International indexes situation I trade also international indexes in my portfolio. So I perform analysis of these indexes too. I monitor and analyze major European , Asian and Lat-Am indexes.

There are times when local economic situation could affect mood of investors on US stock exchanges. These times were experienced during European debt crisis since 2010 or situation in Chinese economy in the same period.
