This type of strategy should not be adopted new traders as interpretations can be done better if an investor is experienced.

Similarly he is provoked to sell a commodity when its price reaches low from the expectation of the investor. Crest and troughs of high and low prices can be easily depicted on the charts which help the professional traders to spot out the stocks in which they want to invest in. These crest and trough movements in the chart basically show the trend analysis of the different stocks which helps an investor to make his decisions safer while buying or selling of any particular stock. The advantage of this strategy is, if the markets follow the trends in a very strong manner an investor makes huge profits and if the market do not follow the depicted in charts in future an investor will incur huge losses.
