If a Stock is Trending UP (BUY and HOLD)
If a Stock is Trending DOWN (SELL and WAIT)
If a Stock is in a Trading Range (TRADE it) – Buy Low, Sell High.
What Price & Volume, indicator(s) do you use to identify this?
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, 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.

A stock is said to be in an uptrend when it makes higher highs and higher lows. A down trend is defined by lower lows and lower highs. A trading range for a stock previously in an uptrend happens when the stock stops making higher highs and higher lows. Previous high and lows are still in place and probably acting as resistance and support.
