For short-term trades, I usually stick to my EMA indicator, but instead of using a daily chart, I switch to the 15-minute chart for faster signals. I find that combining EMA crossovers with volume spikes gives me a clearer picture of momentum shifts.
I also like using a Bollinger Bands (20) breakout as an additional signal—especially when the price breaks out with strong volume after a period of consolidation. That said, I only apply this approach to stocks with big news or announcements, as these tend to create the volatility and liquidity needed for a short-term setup to work. This combination of technical analysis and market catalysts has given me some of my best quick trades.
If there’s no strong news driver, I prefer to trade stocks for mid to long terms instead. Short-term trades can be exciting and profitable, but for me, they work best when backed by both technical signals and a clear catalyst.
