Online Share Trading and the Bigger Picture

By John Davis


The idea of trading using shares is a traditional way of thinking. You purchase the physical stock and watch or trade as that stock value moves on the global stock market. However the idea of share trading is not necessarily limited there are in fact many levels. CFD trading expands share trading into an entirely different ideology, based on trade movement rather than share ownership. Macro economics and trading movement is susceptible to change, these changes can be monitored and tracked, ultimately forming patterns. A CFD enables traders to take advantage of change whether up or down, taking the trading relationship beyond stock ownership and into market movement.

Essentially technical analysis is a method of assessment. Technical analysts have their roots in mathematical and charting theory. A technical analyst believes that the historical performance of markets indicate future performance.

Fundamental analysis reviews the impact of external elements. External factors are by no means guaranteed to make an impact on financial markets but there have been enough instances of change to deem this a type of analysis. Examples of possible fundamental indicators vary from natural disasters right through to the precision of seasonal variation. Fundamental analysis takes the shape of a valuation looking at the external factors making up a company's value, including sales, earnings, debt, competition and even geopolitical change. Fundamentals can range from the broad and extensive right through to the magnified.

In a risk savvy world, it can be a challenge both finding your feet and staying grounded. The temptation to risk too much is everywhere, but the secret to managing your trading risk lies in building your barriers. Barriers which allow the trader to understand when too much has been risked and when your logic has been overthrown by irrational decisions. Rational, logical trading must remain at the core of key trading decisions. Know your limits; stop losses can be put in place to reduce risk.

Investing in financial markets inevitably exposes you to a level of risk. Risk needs to be carefully calculated and evaluated before getting involved in trading. CFD trading involves a significant risk of loss, make sure you know this before investing.
