This is crucial, so you begin to create consistent and repeatable results in your trading. Another thing to keep in mind with technical analysis is that you will not win all of your trades.
The goal is to have a system that can handle losses, but it consistently makes you money at the end of the month. Moving averages are one of the most popular indicators in the world for technical analysis. You can use moving averages for smoothing out the overall price action to find clear trends and dynamic support and resistance. When you combine multiple moving averages on your chart, you can also find high-quality trade signals.
At its simplest, the moving average shows you the overall price for a certain period of time. For example, if using period moving averages, then you will see the average price for the last 14 periods plotted as a line on your chart. This can show you the overall direction price has been moving in on that time frame.
The MACD is another hugely popular indicator used in many different markets by technical analysis traders. The Fibonacci tool is an indicator you can use to both make and manage your trades.
Fibonacci is formed with a set of key ratio numbers that includ e These key levels will often work as important support or resistance levels as they are heavily watched and trades by many participants in the market. In the example below price is in a trend lower. After making a retracement back higher, we can see the price move into the Some of the most advanced technical analysis strategies involve combining different methods and strategies.
These include combining multiple indicators or combining indicators with price action strategies. As the chart example shows, we have a moving average crossover that shows us that there is a trend lower. Price then forms a bearish engulfing bar that is a bearish price action signal and is a signal to make short trades with the trend lower. This is just one example of how you can combine strategies for more advanced technical analysis.
There are a lot of books out there that discuss technical analysis. Many refer to this book as the bible of technical analysis because of the huge range of information it goes through an extensive content on technical analysis. Martin Pring is widely known in the trading world, and this book is for the trader looking to take their technical analysis more seriously and is past the beginner stage. How to find, enter and place stop losses on the best price action entries.
I hunt pips each day in the charts with price action technical analysis and indicators. Further development of the theory and general conclusion 64 7. Introduction The ideas methods and graphs presented in the book are original and cannot be found in any other book, however the idea of complex technical indicators is based on the classic technical analysis theories as Dow Theory or New Concepts in Technical Analysis Trading Systems book of J. Wells Wilder Jr. The main aim of the book is to present the idea for a broader application of technical analysis — to look more complex and apply classic technical analysis for cross assets analysis or macroeconomic analysis.
The technical analysis is not as modern discipline as it is often recognized. There are a few modifications for technical analysis from year to year, what is more, most of the technical analysis tools are based on moving averages that sharply limits the scope of the technical analysis development. The book would like to elaborate on the new ideas in technical analysis and the new possible way of the development of the discipline. However, the book clearly explains every concept a basic technical analysis knowledge is required to understand the book thoroughly, there are some concepts as Cross Moving Average, Cross Relative Strength Index or trend correlations for which the technical knowledge of moving average and RSI behaviour is required.
Finally, please note that the book would like to elaborate on the idea and present the concept for further technical analysis development, the methodology, mathematical methods and some aspects in the book may be controversial, however, this should not be a problem for the understanding of the main book message.
Introducing the theory The technical indicators may not limit only to include data from one financial instrument. The market of all assets is very diverse and the technical analysis limited to one graph of one instrument is sometimes not reliable.
The correlation between instruments could be implemented to improve technical indicators. The new technical indicators introduced in the book as adjusted technical indicators; for example, moving averages weighted by two financial instruments, or more complex independent indicators created using data from top world stock indices, will deliver more reliable and not limited information about the current price trend.
The main aim of the book is to deliver the concept of more complex technical indicators. The complex and cross technical indicators will be based on the classic technical analysis, but their values will be dependent on more than one instrument, for example, a moving average for a stock will be adjusted by moving average of major stock index that influences the stock price.
Moreover, the further part of the book will show how the tools in the technical analysis could be developed using the presented ideas. The theory of complex and cross technical analysis indicators is useful in the application for traders as it provides broader and clearer look into the market, there is plenty of examples when two financial instruments are very closely related and their price tends to move in the same direction, or there is usually the discrepancy between two trends.
In most cases the two prices will move in another direction depending on the base stock movement, however, there are opposite situations, especially when there is great market volatility and two both opposite options move in one direction. The technical analysis of options does not make sense for many traders, however the technical analysis for both of them, especially if it is jointed into one indicator, will deliver information about possible underestimation or overestimation of the price of CALL or PUT.
The book would like to introduce the new methods and so on the new range of technical analysis indicators that would analyse broader data than all existing technical indicators. The variations in the calculation of cross technical indicators could be as broad as the new range of indicators and the methodology accepted in the book is only a suggestion, as the main aim is to create the new way of thinking in general technical analysis.
The cross technical indicators will be indicators dedicated for one financial instrument that are adjusted by data from another instrument, while the complex technical analysis indicators will be broader-scaled indicators for general analysis or even macroeconomic analysis. The detailed differences between them will be outlined in the next section. For the rest of the book, all of the cross technical indicators will have the "X" prefix for the shortcut of the classic technical indicators like Moving Averages, the prefix "X" will be understood as "Cross.
The complex technical analysis indicators, explained in the Section IV, will have full names as the crisis indicator consisted from Relative Strength Indices of many world stock indices or General Trend Indicator tracing trend discrepancies in correlated instruments. Forex is correcting itself very fast, and HFT and algorithm systems usually fill every discrepancy between currencies.
Generally, when the USD Index strengthen the USD should strengthen regarding all currencies, so if the movement of one currency pair with USD will be opposed, it may be a sign of inefficiency. It is important to remember the dependency between two assets to calculate the XMA properly. The XSMA13 is on the daily chart for the full weighted by the value of 0. The relation is inverted as in theory, the confirmation of the moving average about USD strengthens against the JPY should be late when the general trend for USD is to weaken.
The example of macroeconomic cross RSI indicator The easiest way to understand the complex technical indicators, their application and calculation is to work on an example. The excellent example of a useful complex technical indicator created using the classic TA is the weighted Relative Strength Index. The complex RSI could be applied to two or even three hundred instruments with different relations and scale.
The possible creation of complex RSI that would include the data from the most critical assets in the global market could be a great tool to predict globally overbought or oversold market. In this chapter, some proposals for the creation of this complex RSI will be outlined; however, the scale of the application is incomparable big with the information presented.
Assume that there is an investor that would like to have a macroeconomic indicator that shows him the global trends of market, obviously the RSI for major world indices will be a solution, however, the global relations between assets are continuously changing and it will be hard to track macroeconomic situation basing only on the RSI of one Index, and it will be time taking to look at every index's RSI separately. The rest of the factors in the formulas are very personal, and the complex RSI could be constructed based on the daily, weekly or monthly timeframe, using the closing or opening prices, etc.
The further part of the chapter will deliver some examples of the possible complex RSIs. To construct a global RSI its components should be taken from a variety of exchanges, and the right idea is to use the most prominent indices from the biggest exchanges as it will deliver a clear market view.
The Major World Indices RSI presented below was constructed based on the weekly data from 30 major world indices from to , note that the selection of components may vary and may not be the most accurate, as the main aim is to show how to construct such a complex RSI.
What is interesting, the market was at the overbought level four times and at the oversold level for two times. The indicator could be used for macroeconomic analysis. What is essential, if the components are already taken, as with the example above the weighting should be considered.
The weighting is also flexible as the taking of components, however, the following method could be applied. New indicators basing on the complex technical analysis theory In this chapter, the author would like to introduce four new technical analysis tools that are designed basing on the theory of the complex and cross technical indicators.
The indicators could also be used for a single asset, however, their application may be not as efficient as for recommended settings. The application of the new indicators is evaluated in the next three chapters.
Market Swing Index — MSI The Market Swing Index was created to show general trends in the market as a whole, the scale of application and timeframe may vary, but the timeframe could be applied from a daily basis to monthly basis. The indicator could be easily modified to fit the goals. The assumption of the indicator is to show when the market is greatly overbought or oversold.
As the indicator is complex, the values are composed based on 10 or more assets as indices, commodities, ETFs or even single stocks. If the indicator is measured based on the ten compartments, the values of the MSI oscillates between 10 and , where values close to 10 indicates strongly overbought market and indicates strongly oversold market and 0 indicating the neutral state.
The recommended range for the indicator is to have diversified assets. If the current market price for an asset is above the SMA20 and one standard deviation, the compartment asset is creating the value 1 and if the current market price of an asset is below the SMA20 minus one standard deviation, the compartment has value Defining the assets as compartments for the MSI, for example, major world indices 2.
