Every term explained in plain English. No jargon, no confusion—just clear definitions you can actually use.
A phase where smart money or institutional investors are quietly building positions, often characterized by sideways price action with increasing volume. Precedes markup phases in market cycles.
Trading that occurs after the regular market close (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET for US markets). Like pre-market, after-hours trading has lower liquidity and wider spreads. Earnings announcements released after market close can cause significant after-hours moves.
The highest price an asset has ever reached. When something hits ATH, it means there's no historical resistance above—uncharted territory.
Over-analyzing to the point of inaction. The trader sees so many variables and scenarios that they become unable to make a decision and miss opportunities.
A cognitive bias where people fixate on a reference point (anchor) when making decisions. Traders often anchor to entry prices, leading to irrational holding of losers or premature selling of winners.
Adding to a losing position to lower your average cost per share. While this can work if the stock recovers, it's dangerous because you're increasing exposure to a trade that's already going against you. Many traders consider averaging down a bad habit that amplifies losses.
A measure of how much an asset typically moves in a day. Higher ATR = more volatile. Useful for setting stop losses that give the trade room to breathe.
