How does the stock market really work? I have a few questions?

I want to know how the stock market really works in terms of:

1. Investors Buying & Selling shares; how does the trading volume, here, of individual buys & sells affect a company’s stock price?

2. How can you tell how many people/investors are buying or selling a company’s stock in order to go long or short and put the odds in your favour – is there any specific technical analysis indicator that can tell you this, or what else can?

3. How does news affect stock prices?

Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about Technical Trading Indicators the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

This question was about Technical Trading Indicators and there have been some pretty good answers that should help in your trading, and especially in relation to Technical Trading Indicators, the answer has been posted in the categories listed below:

If I start to trade CFD's (contracts for difference), what technical analysis indicators should I use for….?

I am an active underlying stock market swing trader and buy-and-hold investor, and my portfolio could be worth £20,000 to £30,000 sometime next year.

I already have been demo trading CFD’s (contracts for differences), also 1 trade live and scored 17.5% in a day trend following – I am looking to trade them more next year when/if I have made this money.

Anyway, what I want to know is what are the best technical analysis indicators I should be looking at as a CFD’s trader to efficiently trade them as a stock swing trader along with market news embedded into my strategy?

What technical analysis indicators DO YOU as a CFD’s trader personally use/look at to trade them and have a high winning ratio?
I know this is longer than the average question here on Y!A, so sorry about that.

what is really going on in the stock market?

I need to know what is the market? really…. what is the characteristics of the market alone? Not necessarily the economy… who can point me to someone who knows… really… i’d pay for it….. i need to fucking know….Ok here’s the questions… well i’ll make a statement… I need to know how to stock market works… not some bullshit regurgitated information…. who controls price movement… i know it’s a bidding process.. but how much of the money is from large scale investors,(institutional) and how might they control price? what is the most widely used indicator? for people who are sucesfull in the market… what works for you? do you use technical indicators? do you try to guage the mood of the market on a particular day? Do you look at company fundamentals? I’ve been trading etf’s such as spy, vxx, and gld…. so i’ve been watching how people place their money on their idea of overall market movement…. any ideas here… i’m stuck.

Linear Regression Indicator: Calculation in Microsoft Excel?

The Linear Regression Indicator (LRI) is a stock market indicator. It’s value each day is the same as a Linear Regression Trendline (LRT). The LRI is calculated using the "least squares method." I would like to know the formula to calculate the LRI in Microsoft Excel if you could assist me.

I am uncertain how my stock charting package calculates this value, but here are some clues. For the SPY, which generally tracks the value of the S&P 500 stock index, the LRI values at the end of the trading day today were LRI(1 day)=0; LRI(2 day)=128.42; LRI(3day)=128.51. The value for LRI(2 day) is simply the closing price of the SPY for today, which was 128.42. I’m really interested in how they calculate LRI(3day), and am seeking an explanation as to why LRI(1) is 0 and LRI(2) is today’s closing price.

I’m not sure whether they use the Open, High, Low and Close for each day, or just the Close or some combo. Here are those values for the last few days: (See Additional Details)
8/3: Open=127.33; High=128.55; Low=127.15; Close=128.42. 8/2: Open=127.58; High=128.46; Low=127.55; Close=128.08. 8/1: Open=127.34; High=127.38; Low=126.63; Close=127.22. 7/31: Open=127.66; High=127.96; Low=127.46; Close=127.85.
