Stage Analysis Background Stage Analysis is a strategy for longer term trend trading. It was discussed in detail by Stan Weinstein in the book Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. Stage Analysis uses chart patterns to describe four distinct stages that a particular trade can be in. The stage, and transitions between stages, have specific guidelines for whether a trader should buy, sell, or hold the trade. This creates a simple strategy to follow when trading the market. Stage Analysis helps traders identify and stay invested in long term trends in the market.
Key Components Of Stage Analysis Weekly Stock Chart – Weekly charts are used in Stage Analysis since the system is designed to be for longer term trading, from weeks to months to years at a time. Stage Analysis is definitely not a system for day trading.
30-Week Moving Average – The price action on the weekly chart is compared in relation to the 30-week moving average in order to determine the specific stage in Stage Analysis. Whether the weekly price and the 30-week moving average are trending higher, lower, or sideways determines the specific stage.
