3. Terminology

Definitions of common stock market terminology that will be used in the newsletter. The goal is to use as little stock market lingo as possible, but the ones we will have to use will be outlined. Those terms include:
Supply Zone - the outlined price point on a stock chart where there likely will spark seller interest and move the stock price down
Demand Zone - the outlined price point on a stock chart where there likely will spark buyer interest and move the stock price up
Support Line - an important price point that marks the bottom of a current stock trading zone. Cross and hold below it indicates a new zone will form at a lower price point
Resistance Line - an important price point that marks the top of a current stock trading zone. Cross and hold above it indicates a new zone will form at a higher price point
VWAP Line - an ever-moving line on the stock chart that tells us the average price that the stock is trading at. A strong move and hold above or below it tells us the short-term direction of price
Key Level - an important price point that marks where a stock has reacted as previous support or resistance. Typically becomes the start of a new zone when the stock touches it again
Volume - a term used to indicate the amount of people/orders trading shares on a stock.
Call Option Contract - the thing you buy and trade when you believe the stock price will go up
Put Option Contract - the thing you buy and trade when you believe the stock price will go down
Expiration Date - the date in which the option contract will be worthless.
OTM - option contracts that are assigned for prices outside of the current stock price
ATM - option contracts that are assigned for prices at the current stock price
Delta - the part of an option contract that tells you how many dollars you will earn for every dollar the stock price rises.
