W.W. Grainger (GWW):
Which moving averages are most important?
Longer-term investors and swing operators often monitor the simple 50-day moving average. This moving average will react faster than a 200-day moving average. The 50-day moving average is useful for identifying medium-term trends, while the 200-day moving average focuses only on the long-term trend.
Oscillation traders will focus primarily on short-term trends, as they want to enter and exit the market in a few days or weeks. These types of operators typically use simple or exponential moving averages of 20 days, 10 days, five days, or a combination of them. Since these moving averages will react quickly enough to price changes, commercial signals appear more often, it is hoped that it will alert the short-term trader to opportunities. The lower the moving average, the more closely the price movement is tracked. The 200-day moving average shows only the overall price trajectory, while the progressively shorter average averages follow increasingly smaller price trends.

How to interpret the volume of stocks?
The volume on a stock chart is probably the most misunderstood of all the technical indicators used by swing traders. There's only a couple of times where it's even useful. In fact, you can exchange any title without even looking at it!
The volume of shares is the number of shares exchanged during a given period of time. The volume represents the level of interest in an action. If a stock is traded at low volume, there is not much interest in the stock. But, on the other hand, if a stock is trading at high volumes, then there is much interest in the stock. The volume simply tells us the emotional excitement (or lack thereof) in a title.
The current ratio of 2.4 is mainly used to give an idea of the ability of a company to repay its liabilities (payables and debts) with its assets (liquidity, negotiable securities, inventories, credits). As such, the current relationship can be used to make a rough estimate of a company's financial health. The rapid ratio of 1.4 is a measure of a company's ability to meet its short-term financial liabilities with fast assets (cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities and credits). The greater the relationship, the greater the financial security of a company in the short term. A common rule of thumb is that companies with a rapid ratio above 1.0 are sufficiently able to meet their short-term liabilities.
The long-term debt / equity shows a value of 1.11 with a total debt / equity of 1.15. It provides investors with the idea of the company's leverage, measured by dividing total liabilities from shareholders' equity. It also illustrates the debt that the company is using to finance its assets in relation to the value represented in equity.
