I am not a financial advisor, but... This is the process I go through when I examine a stock for opportunities. It's a mix of technical analysis blended with a touch of fundamental analysis. I do deeper DD if I decide to take a long term swing trade (LEAP) or buy equities.
👇
🤷♂️ TLDR: Chart long + short term trendlines. Next, chart patterns on multiple time frames. Identify supp/resis / fib levels, momentum, price, flow, and sentiment/catalyst data in conjunction w/ current trends + patterns. Find confluence between all info to help validate trade.
📈 TRENDLINES: Identify trends by charting long & short term trendlines. Use weekly/daily charts for long term (swings) and hourlies/15m/5m for short term scalps/potential day trades. Chart the trends on each one. Multiple time frames allow you to see the overall bigger picture.
🚩 PATTERNS: Identify candlestick patterns (hammers, head & shoulders, dojis, etc.) as well as charted patterns such as falling wedges, pennants, bull/bear flags, channels, etc. Find breakout, continuation, & reversal patterns and see where they fall in line with your levels.. 👉
🔃 S/R LEVELS & FIBS: Chart support and resistance levels. Find supply/demand zones. Draw fib retracements and extensions where applicable. This well help to identify the best entries, targets, and exits... especially when they align with information provided by your indicators.
