That's the million dollar question!

There are multiple systems and books on the subject.

I know what you mean, as I've been actively following stocks and trading stocks every day for 4 years.
Every stock has it's own patterns, observe specific stocks.
Some go up 5% one day, then down 5% the next. So on, and so forth. There are opportunities there to make capital gains on normal price fluctuations. Every stock is different, and there a no parameters that determine that for ALL stocks A+B=C.
The closest thing that comes to "parameters", as you say, is conclusions drawn from technical analysis.
You can sometimes anticipate the direction a particular stock might go.
Check Americanbulls.com. It's an interesting site that focuses exclusively on technical analysis of most North American stocks. just punch in a stock's symbol.

i use the return on equity (ROE). it is calculated by dividing the net income ( found on the company income statement) by the share holders equity.( balance sheet). this will give you a percentage.

net income / equity = ROE
then i times earnings per share by the ROE to get my fair value. i want my stock price to be at least 50% below the fair value price. this gives me a margin of safety so to speak.

exm: wal-mart (WMT)

net income= 11,284,000
equity= 61,753,000
ROE=18%

18 x $2.77 =$49.86
$49.86/ 2 =$24.93
wal-marts current stock price is $48.09. so i would consider it over price at this time.

I choose the stocks using the following methods:

- Stocks that are undervalued. Market value is under the company's own equity. Reasons for that can be that the company has suffered losses. See what the comany has done to cut its losses. Will there be profits in the near future? In that case, the stock value will rise soon. Do some background work to find that out. You'll find all information in the news.

- When you think there will be arrangements at the branch.

- The stock price drops after the company pays the dividents. The price will recover soon. So buy when the the company paid the dividents.

- Holiday season is usually a good moment to buy. Trading volumes are lower and some prices drop. Look for background information.
Buy at holiday season, sell before that. See the market history how it has worked the past 2 or 3 years.

- Think which branches will be hot soon. These days, it will be ethanol and other companies that work with "green fuels". Find a small or a mid-cap company that is actively working with them. There is a chance that a company grows a lot, or a bigger one buys that and pays you good profits.

I have earned my best profits with the undervalued stocks. Just keep in mind that nothing is guaranteed. You look for your profits with your own risk.

Finally, set yourself an aim how much you want to earn with stocks. Sell when you have reached your aim. "Update" your holdings when it seems so.
Your profits should benefit your life quality. Don't hold the same stocks forever. Get also some money out of them.

Very simply the best time to buy a stock is to use slow Stochastic. Go to big charts.com, put in your stock symbol. use the 2 month period of time. Click on advanced chart. Go to indicators. Under lower indicators select slow stochastic. You will have a stock price chart and down below a Stochastic chart. When the fast stochastic and the slow are both below 20 look for the fast to rise above the slow. That is your buy point. It does not work every time but it greatly enhances your odds. Try it with a few of your stocks and best of luck to you!

Buy when the stock is at a price you consider right. The first thing you should do is decide what you willing to pay. Then don't pay anymore than that. I usually pick my price, place a limit order and wait. I either buy at my price or I don't buy. If the stock goes up and I miss out, then I buy something else. The key is to avoid getting sucked into paying more than you think the stock is worth.

The sell side is similar. I decide what type of gain I am looking for, pick a price to sell at, then place a limit order. Of course you have to be willing to adjust your price if news or market activity indicates a change is warranted.
