Thanks for the replies. Shaun, I now realize that I don't have a good grasp on what the different styles are to answer this question.
I know about daytrading, swingtrading, and position trading.
I have learned of scalping, momentum, and trend trading only recently.
I don't care for scalping after my research so that is out for me.
Swingtrading and momentum trading look similiar to me and position trading and trend trading appear to be in the same family. Am I missing something? If these styles are relativley similiar, why do people keep using different terms?
Range trading if I understand it correctly is finding a stock like Applied Materials(AMAT) that trades between 17-22. This stock has traded there for like 5 yrs.+.
Now the last part of my question would be based on the styles of trading, which indicators am I using, how do I set them up properly and how would I set up my screener?
I now understand why I didn't have great success in the markets for 7 months. I jumped in from a fundamental perspective which no doubt kept me alive for that timeframe, but I didn't have a good grasp of charts. I also didn't have a good money management system in place. I need something simple because I find if ti gets too complicated, i will be more lost and likely get killed.
