Today's Trade Setups
Great trade setups cannot be over emphasized. They are the single most important tool of a successful trader. A fascinating program that scans the market for trend line touches or breaks found the setups in the charts to your right.

Can you see the trading setups in these charts? These stocks are on obvious support lines and are poised to move back up. A successful trader will take advantage of this simple fact. He will buy a stock as soon as there is any indication on the chart that the trend line is being respected. Then, he will hold the stock as long as it stays above the price support line. If the price moves up, he will not be quick to sell for a small profit. The key to success is holding on to your winners and selling your losers quickly. Simple chart patterns like these are all you need to stay in the game and gain confidence.

What if the stock price breaks the line?
If the stock moves below the line, a successful trader will (without emotion) exit the trade and take only a very small loss. This simple support line will always keep his losses small. He will never hold on "hoping" that the stock will recover.

Selecting the Trade.
There are many clues that will help you determine if a stock is likely to respect a trend line. One of the best ways of doing this is to look at the Volume and the MACD shown on these charts. If the stock is respecting the trend line, you will typically see the volume rise when the stock rebounds from a touch. It is also typical for the MACD to be positively divergent when the stock price starts back up.
