Moving Average Strategies

In this video, I explained the following. What is MA? What different types of MA are out there? Strategies and combination with other patterns.

Different Type of Charts - Part 1

in this tutorial video I am covering five types of charts; 1. Line 2. Bar 3. Traditional Candlestick 4. Colored candlestick 5. Renko

Money Flow Index Indicator (MFI) Part-2

Hi
In this video, I discuss the MFI Divergence.
Traders who use volume in their analysis often look for divergences between volume and price.

 

 

Money Flow Index (MFI)

MFI is a momentum indicator.
It measures the flow of money.
Money Flow Indicator incorporates volume. (Remember that RSI only consider the price)
You can change the preset values.
Oversold levels normally set to 20. ( Less than 20, there will be fewer signals and more than 20 you will get more false signals )
Overbought levels happen above 80. ( More than 80, there will be fewer signals and less than 80 you will get more false signals )

Divergences are also important which I will cover in another video.

Momentum Indicator

We have different momentum indicators: MACD, RSI, Stochastics Role of thumb: New high in momentum ▶ expect a high in price New low in momentum ▶ expect a low in price Diversion: new higher high in price but lower high in indicator ▶ expect a strong retrace in price

Median Price Indicator

Median Price is very simple indicator which plots mid-point range for each period.

Mass Index Indicator

Mass index indicator

Type: Trend reversal indicator

Settings: Period 25

Lowest Low Value

The Lowest Low-Value indicator plots the lowest low price over a specific period. 

Previously on my other video called "Highest High-Value Indicator (HHV)" I explained how we can combine HHV with MA. (Link is provided below)

On this video, I am explaining how to use both LLV and HHV indicators combined with ATR to confirm trading signals.

HHV and LLV are very reliable in the trendy market, so it is wise to only use them when we have high ATR readings.

Linear regression slope indicator

  A statistical technique used to identify the strength and direction of the market trend is using the Linear Regression Slope as this is a centred oscillator type indicator. It fluctuates above and below a central line drawn at 0.

 This indicator can be used to measure the strength or weakness and direction of the momentum.

•  The momentum is positive when the slope is above 0

•  The trend is negative when the slope is below 0. 

Example:
If the normalized slope is 0.2, this means that the regression line is increasing at 0.20% rate per bar.
A slope of -0.50 suggests that the regression line is decreasing at a rate of 0.50% per bar.

Linear Regression R-Squared Indicator

Linear regression R-Squared.



 1. Strategy in trendy market.
Combine the R-Squared with the Linear Regression Slope.

✔The R-Squared will determine how strong the trend is.

✔The Linear Regression Slope will determine the direction of the trend. Trade in the direction of trend using the Linear Regression Slope. The R-Squared should remain above 80. (You may find other numbers more confident)



 2. Strategy in not trendy markets.
Combines the R-Squared with Stochastic or any other indicator which gives you over-bought and over-sold signals.

 ✔Signals will be produced in accordance with Stochastic readings between the overbought and the oversold levels. The R-Squared should remain at low levels.

Linear Regression Intercept indicator

Trading Strategy 1- Combining LRI with LRF(Linear Regression Forecast Indicator) If you plot both LRF and LRI indicators together, then they act exactly like MA (moving averages). This means they give signals at crossings. ✔ Buy signal in an uptrend.(Only in uptrend open a buy position if you are not hedging) LRF goes above LRI ✔ Sell signal: When LRF goes below LRI 2- By itself: Replace LRF with the price line.

Linear Regression Forecast Indicator (LRF)

This indicator is only suitable for trading strong trends. Method 1 by itself: Go long if the LRF turns up, or exit a short trade. Oppositely, go short (or exit a long trade) if the Indicator turns down. Method 2: Combine this with a moving average with a similar period and open a new trade anytime the LRF crosses the MA.

Keltner Channel (KC)

✔ Trading strategy in trendy market: Up trend: Buy every time price closes above the upper band. Down trend: Sell every time price closes below the lower band ✔ Trading strategy in sideways: Buy when price goes below the lower band and retraces back into the channel. sell when price goes above the upper band and retraces back into the channel.

Intraday Momentum Index (IMI)

The Intraday Momentum Index (IMI) combines candlestick analysis with the RSI. It takes into account the open and close price over the course of the day. Technical analysts can use the IMI to find overbought or oversold conditions. Please consider the following: ✔There will be more false signals in volatile markets and market collapse. ✔Use SLs ✔This is good to add to the existing Cryptocurrency positions at a deep.

Ichimoku Cloud

 

🔢✔Lines: The Leading Span A and Leading Span B creating the cloud. The Leading Span A is the average of the Conversion Line and the Base Line. ✔Trend identifying: The trend is up when prices are above the cloud, The trend is down when prices are below the cloud. No trend when prices are in the cloud. The uptrend is strengthened when we have a green cloud. The downtrend gets more powerful when we have a red cloud. ✔Signals: The Conversion Line and the Base Line are used to identifying signals. Bullish signals are preferred when the bigger trend is up. Bearish signals are preferred when the bigger trend is down. This is the essence of trading in the direction of the bigger trend. Dismiss the signals that are counter to the existing trend. ✔Resistance and support: The entire cloud is shifted forward 26 days. This indicates future support or resistance.

Historical Volatility Indicator

Volatile market!

This indicator can be used to determine the volatility of the market. When the HV is higher than the average, it means that the price is fluctuating more frequently than normal. In such an uncertain market it is wise to change your strategy or to stay away from trading.

The big HV numbers normally are a sign of a possible trend change. 

We monitor the market closely during high volatility.

Highest High Value Indicator (HHV)

 Highest high value is the highest value of the market during the selected period.

Highest High Value = Maximum (High) of n−periods

Strategy: Combine it with a simple moving average for trading signals. In an uptrend: Buy when HHV goes above MA In a downtrend: Sell when the HHV crosses the MA from above to below.

High Minus Low indicator (HML)

 Recognise the volatile market.

Figure out the trend direction.

Open your new positions.

HML indicator simply plots the difference between high and low.

High readings mean we are in a trendy market.

Low readings mean we are moving sideways in a range.

My strategy:

✔Combine this with a volume indicator (Like Accumulation/Distribution Indicator)

✔High reading HML and increasing volume mean we are in an uptrend.

✔High reading HML and decreasing volume mean we are in a downtrend.

High Low Bands Indicator (HBL)

My strategy for this indicator is as follow: Use 2 sets of indicators with different shift percentages. ( I use the period of 100 and shift percentages of 2 and 5 on daily charts for commodities and indices) ✔Buy in an uptrend! When the price crosses above the higher band of the indicator with a smaller shift percentage. Close buy: When the price goes back inside the indicator with a higher shift percentage. ✔Sell in a downtrend! When the price crosses below the lower band of the indicator with a smaller shift percentage. Close sell: When the price goes back inside the indicator with a higher shift percentage.

Gopalakrishnan Range Index. (GAPO)

A low value of Gopalakrishnan Range Index means low volatility in a market where there are no gaps or significant changes in the charts. Whenever the charts start making strong moves or creating gaps the GAPO starts to rise.

We can not use this for a buy or sell signal.
It only gives an idea of the market volatility.
If you love to trade in a volatile market, look for a high value of GAPO and vice-versa.

Watch the video here.

Fractal Chaos Oscillator (FCO)

The value of Fractal Chaos Oscillator is calculated as the difference between the most subtle movements of the market. ✔Its value moves between -1.000 and 1.000. ✔The higher the value of the Fractal Chaos Oscillator, the more one can say that it follows a certain trend. ✔When the FCO reaches a high value, we open the “buy” position. ✔ when the FCO reaches a low value it could be a sell signal. I use this to add to my open positions in the direction of trend.

For the link to video, please click here!

FRACTAL CHAOS BANDS (FCB)

1. The Fractal Chaos Bands (FCB) indicator looks back in time depending on the number of time periods trader selected to plot the indicator.
2. The upper fractal line is made by plotting high prices.
3. The lower fractal line is made by plotting price lows.
4. The Fractal Chaos Bands show an overall view of the price movement with not much of price fluctuations.

Buy Signal: Look for a closed above the upper line. Add to buy: Anytime price creates another close above the upper line. Sell Signal: In bear market look for a closed below lower fractal band. Add to sell: Anytime you see a new close below the lower band.

Ehler Fisher Transform Indicator.

The Fisher Transform attempts to normalize market prices, this makes the turning points in price stand out. Trading Strategy: 1. Always trade in the direction of the trend. 2. Look for extreme readings to signal potential price reversal areas. 3. Observe to see a change in direction of the Fisher Transform. This indicator may not always provide reliable signals. I prefer to use this on Forex rather than stocks as in stocks extremes may occur for a longer time frame which gives us more false signals. Please let me know if you have any idea or comments. Happy trading!

Donchain channel

The Donchian channel is a trend-following indicator.

✔It is wise to use this in conjunction with another trend indicator like ATR or simply 2 moving averages.
✔Only trade in the direction of the trend.
✔The Donchian channel measures the high and the low of a previously defined range – typically of the past 20 candles. (You can set this to any other period)
✔You can use the lower band as SL for long positions and the upper band as SL for short positions.

Coppock Curve

The Coppock Curve is a momentum oscillator indicator. Trend recognition: In an uptrend, the indicator stays above the zero line most of the time. In a downtrend you will see the Coppock curve spends more time below the zero line. Trading Signal: I prefer to use only buy signals on stocks and indices but you may consider adopting its sell signals especially if you are trading Forex. Buy signal: When the indicator crosses above the zero line. Sell Signal: When the indicator crosses below the zero line from the above. Happy trading!

Commodity Channel Index (CCI)

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the difference between the current price and the historical average price. High readings of 100 or above, indicate the price is well above the historic average and we are in an uptrend. Low readings below -100, indicate the price is well below the historic average and the commodity (Or any other instrument) is in a strong downtrend. 🔑The best time to short is when we are in a downtrend and the indicator retraces down from the area between 0 and +100. 🔑Best time to buy is when we are in an uptrend and the indicator crosses the zero line from above to below.

Detrended price oscillator (DPO)

The detrended price oscillator (DPO) is an indicator that does not react to the most current price action by using a displaced moving average instead of the real price. It attempts to eliminate long-term trends in prices. This is good to figure out overbought and oversold levels. My strategy to use DPO: In trendy markets, use the signal. Crosszero line from above to below is a sell and from below to above is a buy signal. In sideways, predict the price cycles and open positions accordingly. Happy trading!

Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)

✔This indicator runs from -100 to 100. ✔The values above 50 are considered overbought and values below -50 oversold. ✔The higher the magnitude or absolute value of the indicator the stronger the trend. ✔We can combine this with a MA (the period between half to a third of the CMO) to get early entry signals.

Please click for the link to the video.

Chande Forecast Oscillator (CFO)

✔ CFO shows the price trend ✔ Crossing the zero line could indicate a breakout or change of trend direction ✔ If the oscillator is above the zero point then the forecast price is higher than the current price and vice versa.

Chaikin Volatility

By using this indicator we can have a better view of the following situations:

✔ The market retreats from a new high
✔ The market ranges in a narrow band
✔ Price rises above the recent high.
✔ A new market peak.
✔ A likely reversal

Center of Gravity (COG)

Center of Gravity is a relatively new indicator. It is perfect for volatile markets. I normally combine this with a MA(Moving Average) 3 times the period of COG.

See below an example:
Daily Chart, Bitcoin on 5th of May 2020.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands has 3 lines: A simple moving average (middle band, normally MA20) and an upper and lower band which are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average.

To be successful using Bollinger Bands: 1- Always follow the trend 2-Ride the massive trends by adding to your positions and good entry points. 3-Move SLs as you are riding the trend using the lower band for buy positions or upper band for sell positions. 4-Look for breakouts to enter trades.

Awesome Oscillator

We can get different trading signals from this indicator. I like the Twin peak or Twin low signals. A - Twin peak sell signal: (Buy when the bars still below zero and sell when bars are above zero). I like this one as it gives us early entry to the trade. 1- Bar chart should be above the zero line. 2- The second new peak should be smaller than the first one(closer to the zero line) Twin low Buy signal: 1- Bar chart should be below the zero line. 2- The second new low should be smaller than the first one(closer to the zero line) B - Zero line crossing: look for 2 bars one below and one above the zero line. First below second above means buy signal. First above and second bar below is a short signal. C- Saucer: (Buy when the bars are above zero and sell when bars are below zero). I like this one as you can add to the existing profitable trades. 1- Buy if: The bars are above zero line. The second column is lower than the first one and is coloured red. The third column is higher than the second and is coloured green. 2- Sell if: The bars are below the zero line. The second column is closer to the zero line compare to the first one and is colored green. The third column is further away from the zero line compare to the second and is coloured red.

Average True Range (ATR)

The Average True Range (ATR) is useful in measuring the strength of a trend. For example, if the market's price makes a big move or reversal, either Bullish or Bearish, there will be an increase in volatility which leads the ATR to rise. We can also use ATR to set Stop loss on a trade, to do this normally a number equal to 3 times the ATR number will be added to the high price range on short positions or will be deducted from lower range price in long positions.

Aroon Oscillator

The Aroon Oscillator is a good indicator to follow the trends. It uses the Aroon Up and Aroon Down from Aroon indicator to calculate the strength of a current trend and the likelihood of its continuation.

Link to the video, please click here.

Aroon indicator.

The Aroon indicator has two lines. the Aroon up measures the number of periods since a High, and the Aroon down measures the number of periods since a Low. This is a trend recognition indicator.

The indicator is traditionally applied to 25 periods of data, however, I use different periods on different time frames. The smaller the period the noisier the indicator gets.

When the Aroon Up is above the Aroon Down, it indicates bullish price behaviour. When Aroon Up crosses above Aroon Down it means a new uptrend is starting. (This is not true 100% of the times as you will get many false signals at top of the good ones.

When the Aroon Down is above the Aroon Up, it signals bearish price behaviour.

Happy trading!

Alligator Indicator

Alligator indicator was introduced by Bill Williams. Its components are three lines, drawn on a pricing chart, which represent the jaw, the teeth and the lips of the alligator, it is good for trend recognition and trading signals. I sometimes use it to recognise the wave formations. When the three lines are close to each other, then the Alligator’s mouth is closed and she is sleeping. When the trend takes shape, the gap between the lines get bigger and the Alligator wakes up and starts eating profits.

Average directional index indicator (ADX/DMS)

ADX/DMS is an indicator that has 3 components to analyse the strength and direction of a price trend. It was originally developed by Welles Wilder. The three inputs are the Average Directional Index (ADX), the Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) or MDI and the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) or PDI.
It is a trend strength indicator. We can use it for good entry points as well.

Accumulative Swing Index

The Accumulative Swing Index (ASI) is a trendline indicator. Also, we can use it for very good trading entry signals using its high, low and 0 line prices.

Before adopting any indicator, please check to see how accurate this indicator been on the specific market that you want to trade on as each market work well with some indicators.

ASI is good with most stock and indexes.

Accumulation distribution is a cumulative indicator

Hi everyone!
Are you educated on indicators?
✔
Accumulation distribution is a cumulative indicator that uses price &  volume to decide if a market is being either accumulated or distributed.

If the price is falling but the indicator is rising this indicates that buying or accumulation volume may be enough to support the price rise.
But the best way to use this indicator is by combining it with other Moving average indicators.
We have applied this to the $XRP  chart but you can use it with other assets like $AAPL $TSLA $oil $S etc...

Investing in Cryptocurrency Vs Trading the Cryptocurrency

Hi My copiers and followers on eToro know that I believe the price of Crypto will go very high in the next couple of years. We will have a big rise before and after halving happens in May and then the rise will continue for upcoming years. I have been asked 2 questions recently. 1st question is: Why you do not invest more in Crypto? My answer is my money and risk management. I will never invest more than 10% of my account in Crypto. 2nd question is: Why are you closing some of your Crypto positions if it will go higher? My strategy in regards to the Cryptocurrency has 2 parts. Invest and trade. I will leave open the investment part until I get to my targets. I will open and close some other Cryptocurrencies that I am trading on. I have been closing trades with 10% to 100% gain. I am cashing out on these. I will buy back in if the prices drop. Cheers!

GBPUSD Analysis using channel and Williams R indicator

Hi

Here is a video in my youtube channel. 

Trading in a sideways markets can be easy and interesting.

Fibonacci Trading

Price Retracement Levels

0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.764

Price Extension Levels

0, 0.382, 0.618, 1.000, 1.382, 1.618

Fibonacci Retracement Levels

In an uptrend, the general idea is to go long the market on a retracement to a Fibonacci support level. The price retracement levels can be applied to the price bar chart of any market by clicking on a significant Swing Low and dragging the cursor to the most recent potential Swing High and clicking there. This will display each of the Retracement Levels showing both the ratio and corresponding price level. Let’s take a look at some examples of markets in an uptrend. The same points made by these examples are equally applicable to markets in a downtrend.

Example 1 (Screenshot from eToro web app)

Example 1: Now let’s look at what actually happened after the Swing High occurred. The market pulled back right through the 0.382 level and continued through the 0.5 level before finding support. After that, the market resumed its upward move. Clearly buying at the 0.5 level would have been a good trade.

Example 2: The market pulled back right through the 0.382 level, however, once the selling power was exhausted, the market continued to retrace all the way up through 0.5 level before resuming its downward trend. In this case, selling at the 0.5 level would have been a good trade.

Example 2 & Example 3 (Screenshot from eToro web app)

Example 3: This is the same trade above where we used retracement to add more to the short positions at around retracement 61.8%. At the same time, we have used an expansion of 100% to take profit. You can see the downward trend continued and both Expansions 38.2.8% and 61.8 % were all hit and going towards the 100.0% Extension Levels.

Fibonacci Price Extension Levels

In an uptrend, the general idea is to take profits on a long trade at a Fibonacci Price Extension Resistance Level. The Price Extension Levels can be applied to the price bar chart of any market by clicking on a significant Swing Low and dragging the cursor to the most recent Swing High. Then by clicking on the Swing High and back down to the retracement Swing Low and clicking there. This will display each of the Extension Levels showing both the ratio and corresponding price level. Look at example 3 in a downtrend. The same points made by these examples are equally applicable to markets in an uptrend.
