Reading Penny Stock Market Data

You can greatly improve your chances of making money from penny stocks by learning to read stock market data. The stock market gets input from a lot of sources. Understanding the different factors that influence the market, the companies and their stock prices is an invaluable skill for every microcap stock trader.

Listen to current economic trends to know which area of the economy is or will experience growth. Watch the direction of government spending and even foreign investment. Now compare the information you have with current performance of stocks in the market. You will notice a relationship between this information and the industries that are up and those that are down. Good stock traders profit from keen observation of factors that influence the market.

Start with a small list of about ten stocks to study and analyze until you become better. You can get a list from, msn, yahoo or Google finance. Research these companies in-depth. Watch out for the companies that are looking stronger than others in their sectors. Check out earnings per share ratio. Read the company's financials; annual or quarterly reports. Check the trading volume. Trading volume is an indication of how liquid a stock is. The higher the volume, the easier it will be to sell after you buy. 

There are different types of penny stock charts. All you need is to know the subject of the chart to have a basic understanding of it. Some charts measure daily moving average of a penny stock whiles others just show the price. Watch out for the following:

The support level is the lowest price of the stock at different intervals over a given period.

The resistance level is the highest price the stock maintains even when demand is high.

These two make up the penny stocks trading range in the period of time. A stock with a high volume of trade rarely falls below the support level and is a good penny stock to buy. Trend lines on the charts can also show you future price movement of the stock.
