@GrowthCapitalist there's more than just 1-2 ways of making money in the stock market.
1) Buy good stocks and hold is one.
2) Looking at charts is one.
But there's also special situation trades - what I like to call event driven trades. Recent example is @terence775 $SCGM / 7247 (SCGM BHD) trade or last year $MMCCORP / 2194 (MMC CORPORATION BERHAD) trade where you take advantage of mispricing and market inefficiency.
There's also sentiment trading - which is to take advantage of potentially irrational but money making behaviour. Attached are 2 recent examples where you can easily take advantage of FEAR ( $DNEX / 4456 (DAGANG NEXCHANGE BERHAD) ) and FOMO ($ECA / 0267 (ECA INTEGRATED SOLUTION BERHAD) ) in the market.
All in all, just stay in the market long enough, make many mistakes and learn over time in this journey!
