16.1 – Defining Momentum
If you have spent some time in the market, then I’m certain you’ve been bombarded with market jargon of all sorts. Most of us get used to these jargon and start using them without fully comprehending what they really mean. However, one term that is often thrown around but may be less familiar to newer investors is "momentum." In its simplest form, momentum refers to the tendency of assets with strong upward price movements to continue performing well in the near future.
Momentum is calculated by taking the average gain over a specific period and applying that average to subsequent trades. For example, suppose an asset has increased in value by 10% over the past week. An investor who follows a momentum trading system might use that 10% increase to buy additional shares of the asset, believing that it will continue to rise. Similarly, if the asset experiences another 5% increase over the next week, the investor might sell off some of those positions, expecting the momentum to slow down.
There are various ways to calculate momentum, and each method has its own strengths and weaknesses. One popular method is known as moving averages convergence divergence (MACD), which involves tracking two exponential moving averages (EMAs) and comparing their relative strength. Another method is called stochastic oscillator, which measures an asset's price range against its recent price history.
As with any trading strategy, momentum has both its benefits and risks. While momentum can be a powerful tool for identifying profitable buying and selling opportunities, it is also prone to false signals and overtrading. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate momentum into a broader trading system and use it as just one piece of information when making investment decisions.
