Buy can be identified as &#8220;strong&#8221; when the expert is overly enthusiast about the stock or &#8220;weak&#8221; when the expert recommends to buy but with less conviction. A Speculative Buy is issued when the expert recommends to buy the stock but notes that it&#8217;s very speculative, which means the price could have lots of ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" title=\"signal-partial-buy.png\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/signal-partial-buy.png\" alt=\"Partial Buy Signal\" width=\"68\" height=\"43\" border=\"0\" \/><br class=\"clear\" \/><strong>Partial Buy<\/strong> is used when an expert advises to buy less than your full position. You can enter into a new stock at different price points using multiple partial buys until you reach your desired allocation.

The idea is to buy when the price has been going down in anticipation for a come back. You can buy a stock on weakness after its price has been hit and is going down. This can happen for a number of reasons; an event that has affected the company (think <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/126\/BA-N\">Boeing<\/a> and the Max 787 crashes) or during a general pullback (for example December 2018 for a stock like <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/67\/AMZN-Q\">Amazon<\/a>). When a Buy on Weakness signal is issued, it usually means to watch for the stock to reach a target price and buy it if it does.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bear_Signals\"><\/span>Bear Signals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A Bear Market is where prices of stocks and securities are falling and widespread pessimism causes the negative sentiment to be self-sustaining.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" title=\"Stockchase Don't Buy Signal\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/signal-dont-buy.png\" alt=\"Don't Buy Signal\" width=\"68\" height=\"43\" border=\"0\" \/><br class=\"clear\" \/>It&#8217;s pretty easy to understand this one.

Sell is the strongest of the bear signals. The expert recommends to sell the particular stock. The partial sell is when the expert recommends you don&#8217;t sell your full position but only a part of it. Using partial sells or partial buys, you try to get the best price over time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" title=\"signal-sell-on-strenght.png\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/signal-sell-on-strenght.png\" alt=\"Signal sell on strenght\" width=\"68\" height=\"43\" border=\"0\" \/><br class=\"clear\" \/><strong>Sell on strength<\/strong> indicates to watch for a target price and sell on strength after the stock price has been going up significantly.

I like this <a title=\"Questrade Low Fees\" href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/go\/questrade-low-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Questrade<\/a> explanation of Short selling : &#8220;You think a stock will fall in price so you borrow some shares to sell \u2013 and gleefully watch as it plummets. The more it goes down, the happier you are. Then, when the stock is at its lowest point, you buy back your shares, which you promptly return.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Neutral_Signals\"><\/span>Neutral Signals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Neutral signals are patience signals.
