“The Williams %R Indicator   You should use this tool to identify oversold and/or overbought stocks in the market. Here, you need to compare the stock's closing price with the high-low price range of a certain time period.   The formula of “%R” is simple: subtract the closing price of the stock from the lowest price of the past “N” number of days, and divide the value by the highest price minus the lowest price of the past “N” number of days. With this computation, you can determine the possible closing price of the stock for the next few days.”

“The Crossover of Averages   Some traders utilize two types of moving averages: fast (e.g. 10 bars) and slow (e.g. 15 bars) averages. With this approach, you must make sure that the number of days you'll use for the slow average is higher than that of the fast one. Here are the principles that you need to remember:   You should acquire more shares from the company if the fast moving average crosses its slow counterpart from below. You need to sell your shares if the fast average crosses the slow one from above.”

“The Different Trading Methodologies   In this part of the book, you'll learn about the different methodologies that day traders use.   Basic Moving Averages   Moving averages indicate the average stock price for a specific time period. Traders call these averages “moving” because they reflect the latest information while sticking to the assigned period of time.   The main weakness of this approach is that it lags the stock market, so it doesn't really show trend changes. You can solve this problem by using a short timeframe (e.g. 5 days). This way, you can make sure that the information you're using shows the recent trends in the market. Here are the concepts you need to remember while using this approach:   When the closing price is higher than the average, you should buy shares from that company. When the closing price is lower than the average, you must sell your shares (if any).”
