What is Emma? 5 EMAS concept behind exchange system
There is a concept in forex trading and trade in general used as an indicator by many forex traders. This widely used concept is that the "moving average". It is used in the field of finance and specially with technical analysis. It belongs to the family of very similar statistical techniques widely used to analyze time series data.
You can calculate the moving average for each time series, but in our case we are most concerned about this average is calculated over a pair of currency prices over time. The average quantity r can bee seen as smoothed representation of the current market activity and trend indicator affect market behavior. Thus highlighting the long-term trends or cycles. The boundary between short and long term depends on the market will be monitored and the parameters of moving average should be set accordingly.
There are three main types of moving averages. Simple moving average, weighted moving average and exponential moving averages. They range on average, but differ on how much time is counted for the final value of the indicator.
In the case of exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is also called exponentially weighted moving Average (EWMA) Sometimes, in the calculation of the formula is applied weight factors that decrease exponentially. What this means is that more weight (importance) is given the latest data.
From this definition we can conclude that the exponential moving average reacts faster to recent price changes than a simple moving average. On 12 and 26 are the most popular day EMAS term averages. In general, 50 - and 200-day EMAS used as signals for long-term trends.

Weighted Moving Average WMA
Weighted Moving Average WMA
Nature is characteristic for all types of moving averages to smooth the price performance of the first and second, the time lag with which follows the basic indicator of the value curve. While the first property is desirable, the time delay caused by numerous developments of the simple moving average SMA attempts to reduce.
The simplest evolution of the SMA represents the Weighted Moving Average WMA, which performs a linear weighting of price data, recent data have a correspondingly higher proportion allocated for the indicator calculation, the elderly due to their low explanatory power a smaller share. When a WMA Linare weighting is used which means that subject to the weighting factor from the beginning to the end of a uniform change. For example, an average calculated from 10 periods we get the new course the weight 10, the second-latest the 9 weights up to the oldest course with the first weighting The products are then summed and divided by the sum of the weighting factors.
If one compares the course of the weighted moving average with the simple, it is striking that the indicator line closer to the price performance of the underlying asset is present, the delay component can be reduced and consequently turning points are tracked early. Weighted moving averages are characterized by a good combination of sensitivity and smoothing effect. Movement patterns in the underlying security be understood relatively well, but has the trend-following indicator from a fairly smooth progression, which is important with regard to the avoidance of too many false signals. The most important application of the outlined concept is seen as a signal line in the integration of indicators with a soft course (reasons in the last sentence!). Furthermore, the WMA is often also a component of signaling systems in several sections.
Order is a variation on the concept presented it at the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). The weighting factor is independent of the temporal moment, instead, the trade volume used. The mother indicator will follow high-volume trading days, a higher and those with lower volume, a lower weight. It is calculated by multiplying the sum of the prices with the respective volume and dividing by the sum of trade volume.

Simple Moving Average SMA
Simple Moving Average SMA
The easiest way to see a chart image information to the adjusted trend is the Simple Moving Average number of course, in English, "Simple Moving Average", dar. Viewed from the mathematical side it is the arithmetic mean of a number of individual series length. In spite of - in Vegleich to other highly complex indicator systems - simple derivation of the simplest form of averaging is still of great practical importance, the most important application areas are the traditional trend determination, integration into automated trading systems and the use as a signal line in combination with other indicators.
The mathematical derivation corresponds - as already noted - the calculation of the arithmetic mean, there are added up the prices of the observation period and then divided by the period length. Instead of closing prices, other data are used to meet often, for example, the use of the average trading volume or the average trading range.
The term "gliding" derives from the fact that with this form of averaging is always the oldest course the currently added "sacrificed." Basically, that determine the length of the period specified affects the intensity of the smoothing. Shorter periods (eg 10 days) result in that the indicator follows the price trend relatively narrow, the famous 200-day moving average (SMA with period thus giving 200 days), however, has a very large inertia.
As the mother of all moving Simple Moving Average number of points on why certain disadvantages Avergae also created several variations on the original concept over the years. To call in the first place is the inertia of the SMA (often referred to as "lag") and the equal weighting of all the records in the period. Thus, the last course in a 14-day moving average value for the same course as the first indicator value. In the event that a market value greater deviation from the sliding calculation falls out it can cause major distortions.

Bill Williams - Fractals indicator
Bill Williams - Fractals indicator
Among the fundamental objectives of each technically oriented traders to search for turning points in the chart is over. Who is able to filter out such points can make based on the change in trend is suggestive promising buy and sell decisions.
A very simple form of the characterization of the target turning points is the indicator approach fractals by Bill Williams dar. As a point of reversal is accordingly each bar chart, which is higher or lower than its two neighboring bar chart. To confirm the validity of a possible reversal of the concept is in many Abwandlungend also increased the number of confirmation relied on neighboring bars.
The original approach of Williams receives the following traders now have a large amount of turning points from which the majority will prove to be unusable. To filter the items themselves, the use of one Trendstzärke indicator, since there can be no trend no trend reversal.
Reich is helpful here, for example, the alligator indicator, for example, you could use the moving average or even the complete indicator. With an increase of the moving average or presence of a strong trend, upper reversal points are filtered out as well in the opposite case (strong downtrend or moving Avergae is available).

On Balance Volume OBV
On Balance Volume OBV
In J. Granville goes back to the standard indicators of counting On Balance Volume (OBV). Basis of considerations of Granville's attempt to create a trend follower, which can provide the basis of price movements and trading volume of the specific statements involved in this trend to strength and weakness and therefore the possible reversal movements. Annam basic indicator approach is that the existence of a larger trading volume trend in direction than in the opposite direction. Specifically, ie at an existing upward trend with increasing days Basiswertkurs the corresponding trading volume greater than on days with falling underlying instrument. The interpretation of an existing downtrend should open up.
The technical analyst can now observe a situation in which the underlying indicator and not behave as described above can be speculated on a corresponding reversal. As an example, a basic value of the actual chart, it is assumed following downtrend intact, but is now characterized by increasing volume on days when the price rises and falling volume on days when the stock market losses. There is a change in the commitment of the market participants to observe that, in combination with other factors (an indicator should never be used as the sole criterion of trade!) Lead to the emergence of a new uptrend.
The calculation of the OBV is in comparison to many other indicators, in fact, easy to understand: There is a continuous summation of the trading volume. In the event of rising prices, the current trade volume is added to the indicator of previous day's value is deducted in the other case. There are no parameters which need to be considered as solely the volume as a measure of the commitment of the players is important.
As already mentioned, On Balance Volume is assumed that a healthy trend is accompanied by a correspondingly high trading volume. Based on this market early tentative conclusions based on any existing convergences and divergences between the baseline and indicator course. Confirmed the indicator over the base value is assumed by a healthy trend, bearish or bullish divergences suggest, however point to a weakening of existing trends and a possible trend reversal. A bullish divergence is characterized by the fact that the underlying security marked new lows, however, the indicator no longer. The current downtrend is weakening, it can be speculated on a trend reversal. A bearish divergence on the other hand you can make if the underlying share is still rising to new highs, however, marked the course of the indicator no more new highs. The uptrend is losing strength, a possible reversal of the trend direction can be assumed. It goes without saying that the concept showed up (like all Trenddfolgeindikatoren) can only deliver good results in phase trend, in sideways makes no sense to use.
When the OBV chart technical analysis can be used, however, the entire range of known standard tools like trend lines, support and resistance lines, trend channels, etc.. Since there is a trend leading indicator approach formation resolutions often take place earlier than in the underlying. Is also on the crucial point of criticism on the On Balance Volume concept will be noted at this point, namely ignoring the scale of the price change. A minimal increase in the underlying asset or loss thus has the same effect as an extreme price jump or slip, since only the volume of trade is considered.
It should be noted in conclusion that there are several concepts of refinement. Is best known in this context, the safe use of moving averages, this generally reduces the number of false signals, but weakens the other hand, the trend of OBV from leading character, since "built in" a time delay. When Average Balance Volume (ABV) is a simple moving average indicator is calculated on the mother, a different approach by J. Granville itself provides for the use of an exponential moving average with a calculation period of 21 days. As a concrete trading signals here, the intersections between the indicator and the signal line may be used (buy signal indicator for greater signal line sell signal is analog). Another possibility is the extension of the concept of looking at a parent unit of time here dar. trading signals can be filtered in so far as the parent unit of time to confirm the trade orientation of the subordinate unit of time must.

Exponential Moving Average EMA
Exponential Moving Average EMA
The concept of moving averages with the Simple Moving Average SMA has an indicator to the mother as the most important properties a (legitimate) smoothing of the price performance and a delay component. The latter part (so to speak, a "chasing after" the indicator line) is trying to mitigate through various developments of the concept.
The second stage of development represents the Exponential Moving Average EMA, in contrast to the Weighted Moving Average WMA is not a linear weighting of price data used, but - as the name suggests - an exponential. While the SMA and also eliminates the WMA with each new trading period, the oldest value in favor of the current, takes place during an ongoing EMA calculation. The indicator value of the last trading period, a fraction of the current value is added. The exponential data weighting ensures that the older market prices from day to day are losing influence.
The main plus point of the EMA is the high sensitivity, with complete preservation of the smoothing properties of the delay component is significantly reduced, the indicator curve is much closer to the base price performance than the mathematical arithmetic means is the case. As for the comparison between the weighted and exponential moving average this way can hardly make a general statement which is preferable to average even if the EMA to play in theory and practice something more important.
The mathematical calculation of the EMA is relatively complex, as it is handled reliably in most cases by the various charting programs, the trader must hierum not care in detail. The crucial importance is the weighting factor plays, which is viewed by many sources from earlier days, a pure percentage (ie 1 divided by the calculation period), but is now found in most cases by dividing by 2 and (calculation period + 1). The Berechnungsperode (usually 10 or 5 days) is no less exclusively the determination of the weighting factor intended, since the indicator itself so all the base price data are used. The current EMA value is calculated by multiplying the difference from yesterday's price and based on current indicator value with the weighting factor and added to the indicator value is the previous period. Interpretation and Uses of the EMA models correspond to the average in the simpler species, a practice known extension is the Moving Average Convergence / Divergence - is an indicator that is based on two EMAs and represents the difference between shorter and longer average.
If instead the price of the volume to determine the weighting factor used so we come to the Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average (EVWMA). It is also an exponential averaging, the daily change in trading volume provides here for a permanent adjustment of the weighting factor. To determine a standard value for the daily volume and a divisor is used for the Reagibilitätssteuerung. Trading periods with increasing volume go with a smaller weighting factor and a sluggish course associated indicator, periods with falling volume corresponding with a larger weighting factor and a higher sensitivity. The Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average is often used as a trend filter (able to average closing price) and the signal generator (intersections Underlying / indicator).
A certain degree of practical relevance is also still the Modified Exponential Moving Average (MEMA) to this combined with the simple exponential moving average approach. MEMA, the first-value (nth term) corresponds to the SMA, the first n indicator values. The further calculation is then similar to the EMA but one Gewichtungsfaktort of 1 / n is used.

Bull and Bear Balance and Power Histogram
Bull and Bear Balance and Power Histogram
On the basis of the distinction between market phases with bullish dominance (increased closing price the previous day) and phases with bearish dominance (falling closing price the day before) we come to the "Bull and Bear Balance Histogram" which is composed in turn of two sub-indicators as the "Bull and Bear Power "are called. In this approach, ie, a measurement of price movement, which in turn is - depending on numerous special rules - the bulls and bears allocated proportionally so as to enable the most precise representation of actual market conditions.
The approach goes back to the analyst Vadim Gimelfahr and is based on other indicators based on bullish and bearish force measurement such as the "Elder Ray Indicator" and the "Balance of Market Power Indciator". The aim of the presented in this article, a modification is the elimination of known weaknesses of these two related indicators approaches (no integration of intraday and EOD rate changes when Elder Ray and therefore false representation with extreme price changes or no involvement of closing price differences in the BMP, and therefore sometimes very indistinct figure in itself a strong market movements). Vadim Gimelfahr integrates the two Kompontenten - Schlusskursdiffferenzen and intra-daily price movements - at the Bull and Bear Power indicator (or its two sub-indicators). Compliance with the current market activity on the trade and makes the comparison to the previous day close to the concept of the True Range (actual markup) significantly.
As for the calculation to be made this quite complex, but not necessarily mathematically complicated, but quite complex due to the consideration of various market phases and special cases. It was at this point to be noted that depending on days with lower or higher closing price, subject to certain special cases, such as price gaps and Dojis an assignment takes place the power of bulls and the power of bears. The majority of the movement is assigned to each of the stronger side of the market participants, but also the opposing faction gets a portion of the price movement very well written. The twice-smoothed difference between the power of bulls and the bears (which are the two sub-indicators of Bull and Bear Power) leads us finally to the Bull and Bear Balance Histogram.
The interpretation of the approach is not too difficult to identify specific trading signals, however well. The relationship between bearish and bullish shares expresses the balance of power in the market and available to buy or sell pressure. BBP (the two with her very troubled Rohindikatoren appearance) is more suitable for short-term analysis, while the medium-BBH has informational value. In the histogram-location version of an indicator indicates a dominance over the center line of the bullish forces (rising prices expected) and a length below the centerline of a preponderance of bearish trends (falling prices expected). In derivation of this, the cutting of the center line are interpreted as a buy or sell signal. Another application of BBBH be seen in filtering out differences between share price and distribution of forces in the market.

Directional Movement Index DMI
Directional Movement Index DMI
Very well known and part of almost all major commercial stations, the directional movement concept by Welles Wilder. This created based on the Directional Movement Index DMI several standard indicators to identify trends.
The various partially build on each other indicators of the Directional Movement concept are all based on the DMI, which is why this should be described in more detail at this point. DMI is the result of merging two sub-indicators, namely the positive movement (+ DI) and the negative movement (-DI). Based on the consideration that trend by rising phases awards highs or lows falling, is the summation of the differences of these values resulting in the proportion of upward and downward movement results in the period. Specifically, is thus at a new high, the difference between yesterday's and today's high point as a basis of + DI and a new low of the difference between yesterday's and today's low point as the basis of FDI. With new high new low AND there is greater attention to trading days without reaching a new extreme points will have a value zero. Second component is now calculating the sum of the so-called True Ranges (daily spreads between high and low, taking into account, in the case of the price gaps up or Abwärtsgap). + DI is now preparing dishes by the positive price movement will be divided by the sum of the True Ranges, DI-analog. The original approach of Wilder sees due to the unsettled nature of the indicator still an arithmetic smoothing over the observation period and multiplying by 100 before.
DMI is calculated finally divided itself as an absolute value of the difference of + DI and-DI, by the sum of + DI and-DI. Finally, a done Multiply by 100
As far as the time period chosen for the calculation to use Wilder 14 days, but this related to the 28-day cycle of his preferred commodity futures. The choice of the individual calculation period is a matter of taste, in principle, lead to longer shots that the concept is more useful as a trend filter, but not for more specific trading signals.
What is concrete examples of the Directional Movement concept far discussed first + DI and-DI: These two sub-indicators are always between 0 and 100, the position of the two lines are another indication of the direction and intensity of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, + DI is above-DI, vice versa for a downtrend. The distance between the two lines allows a conclusion on the trend intensity, the greater the distance the stronger the trend. DMI itself as a pure trend strength indicator only and not a conclusion to the trend direction is possible. DMI is primarily in the smoothed version of the ADX use, another possibility is to filter it and trend predictions by two different period information is used to confirm that both the implied statements.
In summary, it should be noted that the concept in today's time no longer is applicable equally well as the time of development by Wilder (late 70s). Above all, the rapidly increasing market volatility and the exchange between choppy and corrections lead to an increase in the rate of false signals. A trend change is also often appear only begin if a correction phase.

DMI is calculated finally divided itself as an absolute value of the difference of + DI and-DI, by the sum of + DI and-DI. Finally, a done Multiply by 100
As far as the time period chosen for the calculation to use Wilder 14 days, but this related to the 28-day cycle of his preferred commodity futures. The choice of the individual calculation period is a matter of taste, in principle, lead to longer shots that the concept is more useful as a trend filter, but not for more specific trading signals.
What is concrete examples of the Directional Movement concept far discussed first + DI and-DI: These two sub-indicators are always between 0 and 100, the position of the two lines are another indication of the direction and intensity of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, + DI is above-DI, vice versa for a downtrend. The distance between the two lines allows a conclusion on the trend intensity, the greater the distance the stronger the trend. DMI itself as a pure trend strength indicator only and not a conclusion to the trend direction is possible. DMI is primarily in the smoothed version of the ADX use, another possibility is to filter it and trend predictions by two different period information is used to confirm that both the implied statements.
In summary, it should be noted that the concept in today's time no longer is applicable equally well as the time of development by Wilder (late 70s). Above all, the rapidly increasing market volatility and the exchange between choppy and corrections lead to an increase in the rate of false signals. A trend change is also often appear only begin if a correction phase.
Bollinger Bands Oscillator
Bollinger Bands Oscillator BBO
John Bollinger developed - based on his famous bands and construction of the stochastic formula for Lane - an oscillator, which is the situation of course reflects values within or outside the bands. Bollinger linked here has its own approach to the inclusion of stochastic volatility with the concept. The oscillator, often referred to as% B has, in appearance as well as certain similarities with the Slow Stochastics.
Even when Bollinger Bands Oscillator (BBO), first the usual calculation steps are part of the Bollinger bands. For this purpose (in the original approach), a simple moving average constructed, which serves as Mittlellinie, around it is an upper and lower band of adding or subtracting twice the standard deviation defined. A modification of the original approach can be achieved through the use of exponential or weighted average or weighted price developments as well as typical variations. Also, the period setting and related to the multiplication factor for the standard deviation are customizable.
% B is calculated by applying the Stochastics formula, the difference between closing price and the lower band is divided by 100 multiplied by the difference between the upper band and lower band. The result is an oscillator that (the current closing price is within the bands) in most cases is 0-100. The value 100 indicates - how can easily understand - the opening through the upper band, the value 0 represents the average of the lower bands. Values above 100 or below 0 indicate that the market value of the belt system is broken.
For the interpretation is going on at first said that the indicator provides quite good and many signals, but sometimes too early. The most important application is the detection of extreme situations where the likelihood of an imminent price correction is very high. The points of intersection in the extreme zone area (indicator values 0 and 100) can be used as a concrete trading signals. Furthermore, a change in direction can be interpreted as an indication of BBO to changes in price momentum. Trading signals can be generated by a signal line is constructed and used the intersection points of the indicator with its signal line as long (cut up) or sell signal (cut down). A signal filtering is possible by the area above the center line only buy signals are traded in the area below the center line only sell signals.

Bollinger bands explained forex
Bollinger Bands
As the name suggests a technical analysts are of the same name going back there at the Bollinger bands to one of the most common indicators at all. The approach can be classified into a number of price bands in the 60 years which have their origin. The aim of all these approaches was to construct an indicator that should make the "true price trend" is visible and free the rate changes from insignificant fluctuations (keyword "market noise").
Following the development of technical analysis are trend lines and trend channels that basis be regarded as a forerunner of all price bands, also played an important role in the implementation of moving averages which plays in the bands associated with all course a crucial role. The latter statement is clear when one considers to be the granddaddy of all popular Envelopes rate band indicators, this is nothing more than two to a certain percentage of a moving average shifted around track lines. All approaches have in common the goal of the course during a high percentage of construction within the bands to "catch" (the prices move in the "normal" range), and - by extension - to make support and resistance levels visible.
Based on the known weaknesses of the approaches to date Bollinger wanted to create a course following system, which should include the volatility component. This he achieved by making full mathematical standard deviation in the concept-oriented and so the design of the straps on the data distribution. Specifically, he was doing this in such that he first constructed a simple moving average (now partly also find other types of average use) and then calculated the standard deviation on the share price. Illustrative of this is shown on how the values fluctuate around their average. A large standard deviation indicates a volatile market, a low market value during a rather quiet. Could be "trapped" because of the simple standard deviation of only about 70 percent of the courses he opted for a multiplication by a factor of 2, which now holds 95 percent of all values already within the Bollinger bands.
In the original concept of Bollinger find simple moving averages Duch (SMA) using closing prices of the period use. Both can be adjusted individually, instead of a simple exponential or even weighted averages are possible, instead of closing prices can also typical rate or weighted versions are used. For the typical price high, low and close are added and then divided by 3, the weighted average price of the closing price of a higher rank takes over with a certain multiplication factor (usually 2). Resulting in the formation of SMA (standard 20 periods) and thus a factor for multiplication (Standard 2) is concerned, it is noted that the user should make sure that the bands are basically as close as possible to the course events, a few openings exist and should be the center line more support line for the breakdown point. In addition to the aforementioned standard combination bands also often with the combination of 10 periods and 1.5 standard deviations or 50 periods and 2.5 standard deviations are chosen.
When you look at the actual significance of the Bollinger Bands is basically between trendsetting and trend-less distinct phases. In the case of a free market trend curve form the support and resistance bands. This is evident when you look at the chart that the course is one of the bands at errreichen to move back toward the other belt, so to speak between the two bands "jumps back and forth." During periods of strong market trend Bollinger recommends the use of supportive strength of a trend indicator, for example, or On Balance Volume Relative Strength Index. The combination of the two indicators is then ultimately responsible if it can be assumed with a break of bands starting from a trend or not. In the event that the trend strength indicator confirms the bands breakthrough can be observed that the center line often represents a support for corrections.
Another application of the concept is seen in the evaluation of top and bottom formations. As a buy or sell each setup, the configuration is defined outside of the first leg and second leg within the upper or lower Bollinger Bands. Finally, the indicator provides regarding the width of the tape, of course, a good indication of the prevailing volatility at a given time. While trend-less market phases narrow bands indicate a low level of market activity during a prolonged continuation of this situation can be speculated on a major move, but not its direction. Broad bands are indicative of strong fluctuations, however, as often observed at the beginning of consolidation. In the event of a lasting trend is also often identify a small bandwidth, identify specific signals are not here.
Balance of Market Power BMP
Balance of Market Power BMP
Not necessarily counting on the standard indicators, but a brief explanation is worth going back to Igor Livshin Balance of Market Power (BMP). It is a Oszialltoransatz based on the mapping of the two opposing market forces (bullish and bearish component) with the aim to quantify trend strength.
The relatively simple mathematical determination of BMP Livshin derives from three different components. He turns first to the ability of the bulls and bears - starting from the opening price periods - to achieve the desired extreme days. The result of (Open High minus) is divided by the Day's Range and credited to the cops, according to the result of (open minus low) Day's Range divided by the bears. The second component part is devoted to the ability of the two market forces that counteract each extreme of the other side. So, result (high minus Close) divided by the Day's Range for the Bears, the result (minus Low Close), divided by the Day's Range, for the bulls. Third Calculation component is a kind of bonus for winning each trading period within the power cord. If larger Close Open, a bonus goes to the cops, calculated from the result (minus Close Open), divided by the day's range. In the other case, the bearish forces benefit from a bonus, calculated from the result (minus Open Close), in turn divided by the day's range.
The value of Balance of Market Power is now by providing the difference between the averaged components bullish and bearish forces averaged (simple addition and division by three) with a moving average (usually 14 days). The relative complex derivation of BMP can not assume that the indicator value itself due to mathematical simplifications and reductions simply by dividing (minus Close Open) and (high minus low) can be determined.
Following the original concept, the indicator is drawn as a simple line, but there is also the possibility of auxiliary indicators such as Bollinger bands involved. The harder it will be shown wrest approach concrete trading signals. The inventor himself relies on two BMPs with different time horizons and the inclusion of trend lines in the shorter BMP. Signals can be traded only if the longer trend line breaks BMP confirmed in the respective direction. Another possibility Balance of Market Power is useful to use the popular search for divergences (for example, if the underlying forms or new lows, the indicator is not). Such divergence may indicate a weakening trend and possible trend reversal.

Awesome Oscillator
Awesome Oscillator
Based on the simple subtraction of two averages of many trading stations and trading logic integrated Awesome Oscillator. In principle, it is simple is a moving average oscillator, it is thus a subtraction of two moving averages with different period details. In contrast to the known approach of this group, the MACD, moving averages, which are exponential use of the Awesome Oscillator is based on two simple moving averages. The average time (default value 34 periods) is the short (default is 5 periods) is subtracted, the result gives the comparison of two averages with different time horizons primarily valuable information about the momentum of the market.
As already noted, the most valuable information, which provides us with the approach, a measure of the market momentum indicator dar. Increasing values can be equated with a growing market momentum, falling to a slowing. Concrete trading signals can be generated in various ways in which represents the crossing of the indicator with the center line (long section at the top, with short cut down) the most common application option. There are various ways of refining this standard signal, often find bands and channel indicator-based approaches such as Bollinger Bands use. Also quite well known is the so-called saucer signal that by changing the direction of the indicator is triggered. For example, the oscillator is below the center line, it first needs a period of rising and then falling to identify a short signal. The logic of a long signal is likely to open up to the reader. In summary, it is noted that the presented approach can provide very useful insights, the inertia of the approach due to the comparison of two moving averages must not be forgotten (Awesome follows the actual market development with some delay!).
Average True Range ATR
Average True Range ATR
An important auxiliary measure in numerous indicator approaches is the so-called true range goes dar. the term back to the well-known American analyst Welles Wilder, whose objective consisted in the variation of his favorite commodity and futures markets reflect far more than even any price gaps (Gaps ) should be considered. In principle, he wanted to confront the obvious shortcomings of previously known approaches such as the arithmetic average of the daily trading range formation, which is why he introduced some additional conditions which in addition to the normal high-low range of a particular trading period should be considered.
Specifically, he defined the true range as follows:
* In the event that the current period is higher than the closing of the previous period and the high range (current) high minus low (currently) smaller than the range (current) minus end (previous period), then finds the latter respect (classical Aufwärtsgap).
* In the event that the depth of the current period at the conclusion of the previous period and the margin is low (current) minus high (currently) smaller than the low-margin (current) minus end (previous period), then finds the latter respect (classical Abwärtsgap).
* In the event that the high-margin (current) minus low (to date) is greater than the two-gap structures shown, this will be used.
Subject of this paper is the indicator of Average True Range (ATR), these are simply a smoothed version of the true range detailed above concept. As for the type of smoothing, there are different approaches, the classical simple moving average is now the rule dar. The number of periods for the smoothing depends on the objectives of the observation and analysis of the underlying markets, periods of between five and 30 days are often encountered.
The most important finding, which can be deduced from the ATR is a measure of the volatility in the base to get title. It may be a better reflection of the market are considered to be won because the profit margin even possible price gaps as with conventional methods. High indicator values indicate high volatility, low over a correspondingly sluggish market. This is accompanied by important insofar as many incipient trends in increasing profit margins, the trends are tending towards the end however, marked by diminishing margins. Insofar as can be on the Average True Range concept therefore conclusions on the trend gaining strength, but not the trend direction. A common application of this volatility indicator is the integration into trading systems in support of bands and channels based on commercial logic (for example, Keltner Channels, or Hull-range tapes).
Can provide good services, the true range concept and the use of risk-stops and trailing stops. This can give the sense that the volatility measured by ATR important information if the stop is set close to the market (low volatility) or a little further away from the current price (high volatility) must. When used with IN AN trailing stops can be prevented by the "noise of the market" items are thrown out of the market too early (trailing stops based on indicators not based on pure technology market).
Average Directional Index ADX
Average Directional Index ADX - Directional Movement Oscillator CVB
Order is the most widespread trend strength indicator when it's Average Directional Index (ADX), which is based on the Directional Movement Index DMI by Welles Wilder. For a detailed derivation of the DMI, please read the relevant post, reduced to essentials, it is a concept to determine trend strength and direction based on the upward or downward price changes and the true range under consideration of possible gaps. The sub-indicators + DI and-DI to make conclusions about the direction of the trend, DMI, ADX solely on the strength of trend.
At the Average Directional Index is now at the smoothed version of the DMI, which exist in the type of smoothing very different approaches. While the original concept of Wilder Simple Moving Average (simple smoothing) is used, today, the Exponential Moving Average (exponential smoothing) the rule dar.
ADX shows only the principle of trend strength, but not the trend direction. In general, different boundary Linen file lines are used, often a first line drawn at 20 and a second in the range between 30 and 45 In trendless phases, the value of ADX is very low, with increasing intensity trend of the indicator begins to rise. Of a strong trend in the upper extreme range likely, at values of less than 20 trend-less market phases. The main conclusions when using the ADX-concept can be seen in the identification of trending and trend strength, while very low and falling values, the use of oscillator approaches suggest, however, make high and rising values of trend-following models make sense. It should be noted that the different smoothing variants considerable influence on the progress indicator has some quite significant because a delay is observed in the reaction behavior. Biggest "enemy" of the concept are shown rapid and substantial movements.
A special form of the Average Directional Index is the ADXR that results from an additional smoothing of the ADX. Specifically, the sum of the current indicator value and the value is formed from n periods and then dividing by two.
Should be considered to conclude by the Directional Movement Oscillator DMO, obtained simply by subtracting the + DI-DI from partial indicator of the DMI. The only parameter in the calculation is the period specified with shorter periods of time lead to a picture of the price momentum.
From the DMI-concept basis, it is likely the reader open up that trendy phases gekenzeichnet by a strong divergence of + DI (sum of the upward price movements in the calculation period) and DI (sum of the downward price movements) while the oscillator while trend of weak or trend-less periods around the zero line oscillates as + DI and-DI close together. The most important application of the DMO is looking for divergences between the indicator value based on the course and the course. Such divergence can then be identified, for example when there are new recorded in the underlying high-or new lows, DMO does not confirm this.
Asymmetrical RSI
Asymmetrical RSI ARSI
Sylvain Vervoort on going back, these are known to improve the standard indicator Relative Strength Index RSI. The known weaknesses of the highly popular Relative Strength Index - a long stay between the extreme zones, tend to the midline - is countered by simple adjustments with the aim of improving the responsiveness of education and a more pronounced divergence.
In principle is based the calculation of the ARSI - directional analog to enhancing the mother indicator - the sum of the momentum of rising and falling periods. This is followed by the original RSI smoothed over the period of calculation using a simple moving average, however, the smoothing is performed at ARSI exponential and asymmetrical. Specifically, determine the severity of the particular price change smoothing intensity: The intensity of this positive momentum will depend on the number of "green" periods, the negative momentum of the same number of "red" periods. The real indicator line is ultimately a typical oscillator dar.
The demonstrated improvement in the smoothing component implies analogous to the parent indicator interpretation of the whole: Basically shows the Oszialltorverlauf to a trend inherent strength, the two used extreme zones to facilitate the classification of the market situation: from a strong uptrend, but possibly also from an overbought market is go out in the extreme upper zone, in accordance with the lower by a strong downward trend, or an oversold market.
Who uses the Asymmetrical RSI seeks primarily to differences between baseline and progress indicator. For example, to speculate on a possible trend change if the underlying, still marked new highs in an uptrend, the indicator but not more. In a downturn sees the signal for the possible trend change accordingly: the underlying marked new lows, the Oscillator but no longer.
Arms Index Indicator
Arms Index Indicator TRIN - BRIN
On the American market analyst Richard Arms is the width indicator TRIN (Arms Index also known as) back. Market breadth indicators allow the trader to provide a more detailed look at the market activity than is possible with the pure price action. The focus of this approach are information on the relationship between rising and falling of an index members. Since most indexes are weighted nature, there may well be that a higher index value is supported by a few members with strong index weighting. The Martktbreite your side now trying to determine whether a trend as "healthy" can be considered, ie whether it is supported by the majority of market participants.
A detailed picture of the market trying to convey about the Arms TRIN. This
considered not only the increased amount of fallen and market participants, but also the volume of trade involved. Those who are interested in the American market, which should have already determined that the issue of market breadth - in contrast to Germany - great attention is being paid. The lesser popularity in this country is associated with the problem of data collection, the least of course keep market statistics provide data provider as the sum of the increase, and unchanged values fell and trading volumes involved. Who wants to use the Arms Index or a similar indicator has been able to make something so ...
If the concrete significance of the TRIN questions we must first refer to the difficult-to-interpret sawtooth image. Under certain conditions, the indicator shows the tendency to form extreme outliers (for example, with increasing trade volumes and rising number of low values). In the immediate vicinity of these outliers is due to an interpretation of the history of Verzerrrung particularly difficult. Basically indicator values over 1 indicate bearish markets (no upper limit) and values (zero threshold) under one bullish tendencies. Regarded as problematic is the peculiarity that very different market situations associated with the same indicator values, crucial changes in trends are often obscured.
The weaknesses mentioned trying to compensate for the Dutchman Jacobus R. van den Brink, with his well-known as the BRIN development approach outlined. van den Brink leads to this two additional lines on which to facilitate the representation, in practice, this this is the quotient of rising and falling shares and the ratio of the corresponding volumes. In its original form, the approach involves no smoothing component, but it is quite possible moving averages on the various sub-indicators apply.
As for the interpretation, it must be considered individually each sub-indicator. The Vline (volume line) as the ratio of trading volume increased and dead values can be seen in the relative position indicator for the centerline. With predominant volume of trade increased the Vline values above the median line, in the reverse case is the Vline below the centerline. The distance can be regarded as a measure of dominance. A fundamental problem in this context is sometimes encountered in the volume-defining the meaning of numbers dar. To achieve meaningful results and to not have two identical lines must be the product of price and volume quantities are considered. ILine the issue (or line) as a sum of money and rise in shares of an index has fallen can be relatively easy to interpret as interpreted around the concrete quantity of shares traded anything. A layer of iLine below the center line indicates that the number of higher values is higher than the number of fallen, vice versa is the situation at a location above the center line. Again, the distance to the center line measure of the magnitude of the difference.
BRIN even when a position above the center line indicates a positive market position, a position below the other hand, bearish trends. The indicator can thus be regarded as an early warning when a changing market situation may be indicative of possible changes in the price trend. In order to obtain meaningful signals should confirm iLine and Vline the BRIN-interpretation.

Aroon Oscillator formula
Aroon-Up/Down - Aroon Oscillator formula
On the well-known technical analyst Tushar Chande Aroon-Up/Down goes back to the indicator. It is in principle a classic trending indicator that would enable the user is able to detect incipient trends and trend changes as early as possible. Different approach to the strong trend of trend-free phases absolutely has its place as classic trend-following approaches reveal trendless phases as major weaknesses as countertrend strategies in a strong market trend phases.
Basis of considerations of T. Chande is the definition of a trend over the sequence of rising high and rising lows in an uptrend, and similarly the concatenation of falling and falling high-lows in a downtrend. Specifically, this is the number since the last since the distinctive high or low point last trading periods measured, the indicator signals so - so at least the theory - a "breakout". The restriction is made to during the last years of the observed increased Volailität markets with frequent switching between trend and trend-less periods, which make the period for taking advantage of "Breakout" is always lower.
Aroon-Up/Down is - as the name suggests - consists of two lines, the Up and Down the Line. "Aroon up" is determined by the ratio of the number of days since the last high point and the base value used in period length, "Aroon down" analogy. This is followed by a multiplication by 100, which causes the indicator value is always between 0 and 100 percent moves.
How to understand can be achieved, "Aroon up" 100% if the underlying is a new period of high (greater than or equal to) is recorded, "Aroon down" achieved consistent 100% if the underlying is a new period low (less than or equal to) achieve is. While trend-less periods both indicator lines tend towards zero. Of particular importance is the choice of the individual period length, which represent the periods 10-30 rule. The sake of clarity, the indicator still gets two extreme zones in the range 70 to 80 percent and donated 20 to 30 percent.
The two extreme zones imply in itself already the interpretation of the whole. Based on trendless phases in the central area there is an uptrend when the "Up" bigger "Down" and "Up" is above the upper extreme zone. Analog is still a downward trend, if "down" greater than "Up" and "Down" is over the 70/80-Prozent-Marke. Possible change in trend can be identified by a crossing of the two indicator lines where "herald" the junction towards the base value is. Of importance also the center line, a downward tick indicates the end of an existing trend.
The main drawback of the approach is demonstrated that price changes have no impact on the progress indicator, as only time changes are measured. Aroon-Up/Down is therefore limited as a trend filter pronounced trend during periods without frequent adjustments.
A slight variation - but not really new information - it is the Aroon Oscillator. The calculation is simple, it is merely the subtraction of "Aroon down" from "Aroon up". Unlike the mother indicator that is only one line is present indicator values indicate an upward trend over the center line, is at the center line of a downtrend to go. As a signal for change, the trend is seen crossing the midline, depending on the oscillator away from the midline, the more pronounced is the current trend.

Specifically, this is the number since the last since the distinctive high or low point last trading periods measured, the indicator signals so - so at least the theory - a "breakout". The restriction is made to during the last years of the observed increased Volailität markets with frequent switching between trend and trend-less periods, which make the period for taking advantage of "Breakout" is always lower.
Aroon-Up/Down is - as the name suggests - consists of two lines, the Up and Down the Line. "Aroon up" is determined by the ratio of the number of days since the last high point and the base value used in period length, "Aroon down" analogy. This is followed by a multiplication by 100, which causes the indicator value is always between 0 and 100 percent moves.
How to understand can be achieved, "Aroon up" 100% if the underlying is a new period of high (greater than or equal to) is recorded, "Aroon down" achieved consistent 100% if the underlying is a new period low (less than or equal to) achieve is. While trend-less periods both indicator lines tend towards zero. Of particular importance is the choice of the individual period length, which represent the periods 10-30 rule. The sake of clarity, the indicator still gets two extreme zones in the range 70 to 80 percent and donated 20 to 30 percent.
The two extreme zones imply in itself already the interpretation of the whole. Based on trendless phases in the central area there is an uptrend when the "Up" bigger "Down" and "Up" is above the upper extreme zone. Analog is still a downward trend, if "down" greater than "Up" and "Down" is over the 70/80-Prozent-Marke. Possible change in trend can be identified by a crossing of the two indicator lines where "herald" the junction towards the base value is. Of importance also the center line, a downward tick indicates the end of an existing trend.
The main drawback of the approach is demonstrated that price changes have no impact on the progress indicator, as only time changes are measured. Aroon-Up/Down is therefore limited as a trend filter pronounced trend during periods without frequent adjustments.
A slight variation - but not really new information - it is the Aroon Oscillator. The calculation is simple, it is merely the subtraction of "Aroon down" from "Aroon up". Unlike the mother indicator that is only one line is present indicator values indicate an upward trend over the center line, is at the center line of a downtrend to go. As a signal for change, the trend is seen crossing the midline, depending on the oscillator away from the midline, the more pronounced is the current trend.
Bill Williams - Alligator and Gator
Bill Williams - Alligator and Gator
Based on the concept of moving averages and a shift of these averages in the future development of US-American Bill Williams, the alligator indicator for the definition of trend and trend-less market phases and as a derivative of the Gator oscillator, the absolute differences of the moving averages of a particular pair represents.
The goal of Williams was initially simply to create a promising trading system based on moving averages. Based on the finding that moving averages are slow to understand some basics about the price movement of several intersections and their interaction to be seen as the basis of the trading system.
Bill Williams - Alligator and Gator The most important application of the alligator indicator is to quantify the trend strength, based on this quantification should be possible to assess whether items can be kept in trend direction. The agreement with the animal namesake Williams sees in the already mentioned inertia. The sleeping alligator meets a quiet market with closely spaced moving averages, the longer you sleep the greater the hunger takes the animal and also in the market. This hunger is finally compensated by a "tearing of the mouth," the market suggests a trend towards the three moving averages start to diverge. A strong trend is evident in an open mouth, only when the hunger subsides (the trend is weaker), the average lines run back to each other.
The associated Gator Oscillator is a little different, he visualizes strong price trends has strong deviations from the midline. Possible changes in market direction can be about differences between the variations above or below indicate. The oscillator can be used in so far as an early warning system as a decreasing variation in the bottom of a weakening trend heralds.
Alexander's filter ALF Formula
Alexander's filter ALF Formula
More should be included for completeness at this point, the indicator Alexander's filter. This is not to say that this indicator would be worthless (quite the contrary), but he does not really new approaches compared to the known momentum indicators, yes even delivers an absolutely visually identical image as Momentum and Rate of Change. The optical line and thus substitutability is not influenced by the fact that the total momentum will be held at Alexander's relative as filtering, rate of change use.
These three approaches have in common indicator to measure the rate changes in relation to today's closing price. Instead of the simple difference between the current closing price and the same period as the momentum is at the rate of chance, and when Alexander's filter formed a quotient. It was expressly pointed out again that the formula technically quite different-looking approaches visually exactly (!) Lead to the result.
The formula is fairly simple and technical investigation to understand: First, the ratio of current price and price of the comparable period is formed, the result subtracted from 1 and then multiplied by 100. What is the comparable period in regards to the analysts much room left, are common approaches 10-50 trading days. The corresponding formula is as follows:
ALF = (1 - (Close (t) / Close (t-s))) * 100
What are the interpretation regards to lead in the representation of the many momentum indicators presented application concepts. As representatives, mention was the ever popular search for divergences between indicator and price action. The indicator is a measure of the force behind a movement, therefore increasing values indicate an increase of this force, falling a decrease or an increase of the strength of an incipient backlash.

Bolton Tremblay Indicator
Advance Decline group - Volume-Up/Down - Bolton-Tremblay Indicator
At this point, two other representatives will be presented from the group of Advance Decline Indicators. The beginning should be made with the Volume-Up/Down who uses the traded volume of shares increased and fallen in a market as a starting point. The indicator consists accordingly of two different lines, the Up and Down Volume Index Volume Index. The former indicates the increase in the measured volume values, the latter of that of the fallen prices. The possible interpretation of Volume-Up/Down is thus almost obvious: If the value of volume-down higher than the volume-up selling pressure prevails in the other case corresponding sales pressure. The crossing of two lines can be used for upcoming trend reversal as a possible clue.
Finally should be mentioned briefly the Bolton-Tremblay Indicator, which forms on the one unchanged, and increased the ratio of closing values of a market or index and the other that of fallen and closing values unchanged. To give the whole thing mathematical complexity, the values are subtracted, then take the square root of it. In the end, there is a continuous summation of the values determined. Mathematically, this daring construct calculated as follows:
AdAdv if (t)bigger AdDec (t)
BTI (t) = BTI (t-1) + sqrt ((AdAdv (t) / AdUcg (t)) - (AdDec (t) / AdUcg (t)))
otherwise
BTI (t) = BTI (t-1) + sqrt (abs (AdAdv (t) / AdUcg (t)) - (AdDec (t) / AdUcg (t))))
What are possible interpretations or konkrrete entry and exit signals are concerned, the principle is said to be related to numerous A / D representatives.
