Knowledge about stock momentum will help you make millions


Many readers of this blog and beginner traders email me asking where should they start. I always tell them to try and develop understanding of what is momentum , how it works and how to use it.


For swing trading using momentum can help you find many profitable opportunities. The best use of momentum is to reduce your tradable universe to only stocks with confirmed and established momentum.

Currently there are over 5000 stocks actively traded in the market. Momentum allows you to narrow that list to few hundred stocks with best potential for profit. 




Momentum based stocks are the low hanging fruit. You know a stock is going up or down and then you can target part of that move. You can find entry points in direction of momentum along the way.

Momentum is a very powerful friend of short term as well as long term traders.  If you are looking for long term trades, momentum is still your best bet. 

If you understand momentum you will be trading fast moves in the market. For investors also stocks with momentum offer various position trading opportunities
