I was hoping some one good explain how to find trends in graphs and anything you would find helpful for a new trader.

Big question without a lot of simple answers. I'd suggest reading up on TA as much as possible. There are tons of books out there and a lot of free internet sources as well.

Now for a word of caution. Don't think that TA is the holy grail. As often as not it's going to mislead you and leave you a bag holder or just bleed your account dry unless you have experience.

The truth is, TA works great when the market is trending. When the market is ranging, or when you don't understand the complexities of the trend (e.g., near term uptrend in an intermediate downtrend, in a long term up trend) you may find the indicators are misleading or the breakouts fail. Again, it generally takes lots and lots of experience and hard work before you will really understand the probabilities. And let's be honest, that's all TA is, probabilities. Nothing will ever tell you the future.

There are lots of technical analysis. You should know at least 5 techs. You should be comfortable with them. I did come across a new tech.
The volume has been divided in to 5 segments 20/ each so you could clearly see what was the comfortable price for most of the traders. It’s clever. But you should get a grip on it.

Definitely find a good eCourse or book outlining the basics of TA. You can also go to YouTube and type in technical analysis and you will get loads of video examples of how to read the charts. Good luck with your trading. TA is one of the most important things you need to learn as the market is nothing more than supply and demand and TA is your window to that world!
