Technical indicators - Aroon, ATR, CMO, ADX
AroonThis is a technical indicator developed 10 years ago and can be used to find out if a stock is trending and how strong the trend is. It has also been designed to show the beginning of a new trend. It consists of two lines, upper aroon and lower aroon. It uses mainly just one parameter – time periods. Upper Aroon line is the amount percentage of time between the start of a time period and the point at which the highest price during that period occured. If a stock make a new low of the give...

Lets go on with Elliot wave theory and talk about the guidlines of the wave framework. Guidelines for the wave frameworkWhile there’s just 3 rules in the wave theory, there are a number of guidelines than in theory should make our lives a lot more easier, but in practice make it all more confusing. But in order to work with wave theory right, we also need to be aware of those. Relationships between waves that reflect the aspect of Fibonacci ratios are just tendencies, not permanent relationshi...

Now it’s time to cover Elliot Wave principle basics. Firstly, if you make your trading decisions based on chart patterns then these decisions should be supported by some form of probability analysis – how potential such a move is and when is it likely to happen. Elliot Wave theory all by itself is unable to predict specific price movements but it does help us recognize the state of the market and probable price actions. By using Wave theory, it does help us find the most profitable wave format...

Previously I have mentioned MACD indicator, now lets familiarize ourselves with MACD histogram. But before going there, remind yourself what MACD indicator was - „MACD is a variation of the price oscillator, it is calculated by taking the difference between two exponentially smoothed moving averages of 12 and 26 days. The MACD line is the differences between the two averages – longer one is subtracted from the shorter one. Then a moving average of 9 periods is calculated of this different...

Three oving average system helps to find entry and exit points which could be profitable.This system consists of 3 moving averages with different time periods. The averages could be called as fast, middle and low. The length of the averages could be 5, 21 and 63 for example. Entry is signaled when he middle moving average crosses the long moving average...

Parabolic SAR is a very useful technical indicator during trending periods. However, it shouldn’t be used if there is no trending period. Trend periods exist approximately 30% of the time.In trending markets it provides useful entry and exit points. The name parabolic comes from its shape which is like a parabola. SAR lets our investor follow the dots in an upward or downward trend until SAR is reached and then the trend reverses.SAR’s stop loss is calculated for each day via the previous days...

Michael Jenkins, in his book „The Geometry of Stock Market Profits. A Guide to Professional Trading for Living.” says that fear and greed are the main reason for price changes. He says that if we track day to day price movements, apply mathematical models to them, we can time highs and lows on the market if we identify underlining currents of greed to fear and back to greed. He says that the stock’s angular momentum of the stock’s initial rise has the ability to forecast the size and duration ...

It ranges between fixed values – 0 to 100 (where values usually move between 30 and 70).

Chart patterns can help you predict price movements because there are different cycles of buying and selling action in the market.

Note that nothing in technical analysis nor in recognizing patterns is 100% objective as there is always a number of different interpretations possible. However, some patterns still have proven themselves rather valuabl...

Before I have told you that volume does play an important role in price changes and the meaning of the changes. If the price changes and the volume is high compared to the usual then there’s a great chance the the price will go on changing in the same direction – volume increases in the direction of the trend. If the volume expands in case of trend-direction price movement then it may also contract in case of countertrend movements. But like I have also mentioned before – volume is not the mai...

There’s generally three types of market trends – Primary (major), Secondary and Minor. The Primary trend (major) is of most importance to long-term investors as this trend lasts a year or more.
