Charts are a trader’s window to the markets. With the many advances in today’s trading platforms, traders can view vast amounts of market information on their computers. With so much data available, it’s essential to use well-designed charts that enhance, and not hinder, your view of the markets. While the data and tools you choose to include in your charts ultimately have the greatest impact on how you interpret the markets, the overall design of your charts can improve your situational awareness, response time and trading precision.

You could have all the right information to make smart trade decisions, but if you can’t find and interpret that data quickly, it is useless; the opportunity will be lost. The faster you can interpret market data, the faster you can react to changing conditions and pounce on trading opportunities. Technical Chart Trading Indicators can make that very much easier allowing visual trade entry rules, trade filter and trade exit rules, alerts, annotations and even voice signals to allow a trader to enter or exit a trade. Technical indicators can be applied to a price chart either as an overlay or as a sub-chart. Overlays are drawn directly over the price bars so signals are on the price or vertically aligned above the chart time series.

System-Based vs. Discretionary Trading

There is a certain appeal to developing an automated trading system that requires you to act in a specific way every time market movement sets off a signal. The upside is that, for some traders, it is far easier to maintain a discipline about their trading when there is no discretion in the decision-making process. The downside is that In order to derive the full benefits of a profitable system, the trader must carry out the system’s instructions to the letter.

Being a discretionary trader is no walk in the park either. Discretionary traders have rules to follow, just like their programmer counterparts. The distinction is that discretionary traders apply those rules based on their subjective understanding of each situation. From one trade to the next, there may be significant differences in how the trader’s strategy is implemented. This is not to imply that a discretionary trader can get away with lapses in discipline. Rather, it is because the trader’s decision-making process is subjective that discipline must be in the forefront at all times.
