All language subtitles for 2. Activity Use An Easy Indicator On A Stock That Interests You

I know you have some stocks that you're probably very interested in would love to start applying some

of these things we're going to learn right away.

So I want to give you a kind of a practice activity or something that you can learn and use, that you

could look at your own stocks right now.

So we're going to learn a real quick lesson and I'm going to show you how to find it on the the real

world, you know, on the Internet and all that.

So you can look up a stock and how you would apply this indicator or this concept.

And the concept we're going to use is an easy one to get started with.

It's called the moving average crossover indicator or moving average crossover rule.

And what it is, is you have your prices on a chart here and we have a red four down days and blue or

green or black or whatever for updates.

And you can see what the prices are kind of going up and down and through them is this orange line that's

our moving average.

And a moving average is just simply the average of the prices going back over a period of time.

It could be five days.

It could be 10 days.

It could be two hundred days.

It could be minutes or hours.

Either way, it's looking at the average of the prices going back over time.

And simply how the indicator would work is if the price goes below the moving average, that's a sell

signal.

And if it goes above the moving average, that's a buy signal.

And you can see where we have different cell and buy signals here on this particular chart.

And you also might notice in the middle there, there's a lot of frequent kind of buy and sell signals

that's called whipsaws.

And we have a whole section on that, how to filter those out and how to deal with those because they

can get very frustrating if you can see where we have a lot of buy and sell happening.

At the same time, we're looking for more, maybe a little bit more established trend.

So we'll talk about whipsaws and a whole bunch of lessons around moving averages and the different types

of moving averages.

But nothing understand this concept.

Let's look at a couple of websites as far as how to look up a stock and how you can apply it to maybe

your favorite stock.

OK, we're here at Finance at Yahoo!

I want to show you a couple other screener's here as well.

But on ways to look up stocks, but simply show you how you can look it up and how you can apply that

moving average.

So let's say our finance at Yahoo!

Dot com and let's say we're interested in Johnson Johnson, vaccine drug maker, and you can type in

the full name there, as you see, or you could just put in the ticker symbol Fiorino.

That and you can still come up on these different exchanges.

And we're going to choose this one here and we will look up Johnson Johnson.

So that's going to give our pricing everything.

And what we're going to do is we're just going to quickly go on down to a chart here.

So a our chart, all sorts of information there.

But we're going to go to a full screen on the chart.

Because that's going to give us some more things here, you can see a whole long history of Johnson

Johnson, there's all different things for you can change from looking like a candle to a lie and all

sorts of stuff we're going to learn about, by the way.

So don't worry about that yet in the different intervals.

This is like a week interval, but it could be, let's say, for example.

Right.

So you got the different prices here.

So we want to apply this moving average indicator here and over on Yahoo!

Finance, and I'll show you a couple ones, other ones to just good indicators.

And they actually have this one right at the top here because it's a very popular one.

We can learn about all sorts of other ones, like Bollinger Bands, RSI and basically all that.

So we're just going to choose moving average rate this simply and you can choose the period, 50 days,

let's say, or you could change it to let's say we're going to look at 20 days just to have a simple

thing.

Looks like go up, be a little purple, we'll click it.

And you can see we've got our twenty day moving average and you can see whether it's crossing above

and below the line there.

And as we see, we're on a long kind of uptrend here with these guys.

It hasn't gone below the line for a while until we get right here where it went below the line.

So this would be like a cell signal in here.

So that would be our cell signal on that one.

If we go back in time, you can see there's a cell signal here that goes underneath and it goes down

and it goes above.

So that's a buy signal cell signal above the line.

They jump up there.

That's that's a buy signal.

You can see how goes above and below the line.

So that's using the Yahoo!

Finance, a real common way to look up a stock.

Real simple, really easy to use.

Now, a more powerful thing for us.

So we're going to use actually quite a bit.

And some of the demonstrations later at the end is called Trading View.

So let's go here to trading view dot com.

It's going to have a lot more information to seem a little more complex.

So if we get a little overwhelmed by this one, don't don't be yet.

You're going to learn all about different ways you can do this.

But let's look up a stock here.

Let's say we're interested in let's try a different one.

Let's say Unilever.

All right.

So let's say we're Unilever.

And this one, you can see there's a whole bunch of information and a lot of stock exchanges.

It's listed on here, Hindustan, Unilever, on the NYSE over in India here.

And we got New York.

And let's say we're looking for four for the United Kingdom.

Here we are where they're based out of.

So this also put it into the currency that's there that should be in British pounds.

You can see Unilever up either down six percent today.

So whatever is going on with them, something interesting is going on.

Interesting to see what our moving average looks like.

And then from here, you'll see that there's a chart there, but it's a real basic chart.

You want to go to something that looks like it again.

You'll look where you'll see ticker the top.

Your screen might look a little different than mine at this point because I'm a registered user where

you can use trading you for free with ads.

So I'm going to go down to full feature chart and you want to find that and then you'll find this chart

here and it gives you a lot of different things you can do.

We're just going to do this one thing with the moving average.

So we're going to go over here where it's kind of indicators and strategize, see how that get that

formula sign.

They're going to click on that.

I can type in.

I'm interested in moving average and this is our simple regular moving average.

We're going to learn about exponential over just weighted moving averages, all sorts of stuff.

But let's keep it simple so you can do this with your own stock and then click moving average.

And you can see now I have my line on here.

And if we go back here a little bit in time, you can see where it's it's gone above the line.

So those are nice and cool, but then came back down.

Here's a little whipsaw.

See this whipsaw here where it's above and below the line.

But then we have a nice jump up here.

This is actually called a gap.

We have a whole big section of gaps.

Gaps can be trading opportunities, sometimes not, but sometimes they can be.

Here's a gap, a what's called a gap, up one above the price line.

So that's a strong both of those are strong by indicators, by the way.

So you can see the state up there for a while, picked up here, went below the line, and now we have

a cell signal right by cell.

And so here we are in the current day and it went cell signal here.

The third approach and maybe we're watching it.

This is the day before it said, oh, I wonder if it'll give that line.

They'll be nice cells, nice by signal.

Maybe we've got a nice up trend forming here.

You know what?

We'll learn how to draw these trend lines.

And you'd say, oh, maybe this is coming.

This is good.

I'm going to watch her go over this line.

This might be an opportunity to be watching it.

And then I'll send it looks like here with this E here, that's an earnings announcement.

So that means they must have had something in their earnings announcement because all of a sudden,

boom, what happened?

Big, long, red candle went way down.

And so right now it's trading down about what do we say, about six point two percent for the day.

So too bad I things didn't work out.

But that's the idea of how you can start reading these things.

I want to show you all this, too, so don't worry about understanding too much right now.

Just right now.

Use your favorite stock above the line, buy below the line.

So for my friends in Indy here, I have a lot of students from India.

There's a screener's and that's also a real popular screamo for specifically for India stocks.

Let's put an India stock.

Let's say we go tattoff.

You drive around in India, you'll see Tata Motors, Tata cars.

And when you get here, you can see some basic information around Totti, scroll on down to your chart

here and you can see we've got it's basically got our prices in a line type chart.

See how this line is actually the prices here.

You know, as far as the chart itself and we refresh that so you can have prices look either like candles

or like a line, but they give you a default of where you have a 50 day moving average, DMD moving

average or 200 day moving average.

So if I click 50, this one now put a little orange over here, see how it's now got an orange line

here and it's crossing below the line here.

Approaches goes above the line, a little whipsaw here and then stays below.

So that's the 50 day moving average.

If you did a 200 day moving average, you can see we have a new line here.

This blue line is a longer time period.

You can see where it goes above and below the line there as well.

So as you can see, not as much investment choices here.

You only got these two.

Where was something like, let's say, the trading view.

You can actually input all sorts of specific D times hours.

It's much more powerful.

But in terms of like just, you know, once again, doing something fun for what you're used to use,

Yahoo!

Use this one, use whatever you're used to using, and then put those moving averages on there and look

for those times when it goes above and below the line again, goes below the line.

Cell is a cell indicator, goes above the line is a by indicator.

Now you used your favorite stock and and put that in and see what you see what you find here.
