Everything operates within a context. All creatures, human and otherwise, function within a life cycle. The financial markets are no exception to the contextual analogy, especially when cycles of a defined time frame are involved. Each stock, index, commodity, mutual fund, or exchange-traded fund trades within a cyclical context from the smallest recordable cycles to the longest trends. A number of indicators can be used to analyze a given cycle in a specific issue. While some may rely on proprietary solutions, market tools such as stochastics, momentum, rate of change, the relative strength index, %R and so on, can be used one at a time or via joint confirmations to determine both the Reference and the Timing Cycle. Regardless of the cyclical context that a trader ultimately chooses, t...
Traders styles can affect how they view bottoms in the markers. Trend traders, by definition avoid, identifying tops or bottoms. While these traders may not technically pick a bottom, when they liquidate, they are responding to an indication that the market has turned. In terms of oscillator and indicator traders, they often refer to the market action as "oversold," but this condition does not necessarily constitute a bottom. With regard to chartists, their analysis is often driven by the patterns they choose, whether traditional triangles and head-and-shoulders formations or more sophisticated ones. The two most popular oscillators are the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastics. The best use of the RSI is implied by its calculation. The ultimate confirmation of oscillator comes ...
The author starts the discussion in familiar territory for most traders: trend following. This popular approach encompasses a family of methods that trade in the direction a given market is moving. Channel breakout is one of the simplest of trend-following systems. Richard Donchian expounded on the system in a 1970 booklet. The triple moving average crossover system is an advanced variation of the classic dual moving average system. This variation adds a third moving average to address problems relating to cycle phase, which sometimes results in your being 180-degrees out of phase with the market. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is probably J. Welles Wilder's best-known indicator. RSI provides meaningful information on chart of any length, from five minutes to monthly. This article pr...
Over time, price changes. This fundamental attribute makes it possible to make money trading the markets. There are two general ways those price changes relate to time: direction and speed. Direction was largely addressed in our installments on trendlines and moving averages. This article will look at the speed -- or velocity or momentum -- of those movements. Over the years, traders have developed many indicators to identify this change in speed so that their practitioners know when to take money off the table or, in some cases, initiate new trades. Referred to in a general sense as oscillators, this class includes rate of change, the relative strength index and stochastics. The best approach to any indicator is simple: practice doesn't make perfect, but it helps. As you explore what's...

Developed by J. W. Wilder in 1978, the relative strength index (RSI) has become one of the prevalent technical tools. The application area of the classic RSI is expanded so that it could be applied to multiple market conditions and used with the same overbought and oversold levels not only in short-term tasks, but also in very short, intermediate and long-term analysis, as well as in multi-frame studies. To address the problem of expanding the application area of the RSI, the Wide-range Relative Strength Index (WRSI) has been developed. The characteristic feature of the WRSI is that it allows detection of momentum changes not only in short-term cycles, but also in midterm and long-term cycles. Bullish and bearish interpretations can be found by looking for centerline crossovers and extr...
There are many daily trend analysis tools, such as the relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence-divergence (MACD), that can effectively predict a coming change in price direction in a traded equity. The volatility oscillator can be used as an indicator for change in price direction of an underlying equity through days instead of weeks. The volatility oscillator is composed of three factors: 1. the daily change in the closing price, 2. the five-day average of daily closing price changes observed, and 3. the daily change in the standard deviation of the 10-day average closing price. The volatility oscillator works equally well with futures and stocks. This tool can help you determine if that goal was met to satisfaction. The volatility oscillator works well for futures...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - To a growing list of fundamental reasons to be worried about commodity markets, add one more: prices are threatening to crash below key chart levels that may unleash a new deluge of selling. A host of external factors has fueled the 8 percent selloff in raw material markets this month - the deepening crisis in the euro zone, a U.S. economy struggling for traction, signs that China's once-explosive growth may be cooling.

Overbought and oversold indicators are designed to help determine the excessive boundaries of a cycle in a ranging market. To work out an objective basis for assessing their performance, it is necessary to consider some essential characteristics of overbought/oversold indicators. A logical question at this point would consider how well established overbought/oversold indicators capture these moves in the market. Some of the most popular are oscillators, such as the: 1. relative strength index (RSI), 2. stochastic oscillator, 3. Williams %R, 4. the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and 5. the Bollinger band oscillator. A number of signals penetrating overbought/oversold benchmarks demonstrate high correlation with the percentage of indicator's values falling outside the range of overbought/...
The top-down exchange-traded fund (ETF) strategy is designed to make consistent profits in both up and down markets. Based on a summary of this approach, most traders can get off the ground quickly. The top-down approach consists of three main steps. The first step is to determine the overall trend of the broad market: up, down or sideways. The second step is to identify the industry sector indexes that are participating most strongly in the prevailing market trend. Finally, the third step is to determine which specific ETF family is performing best within that particular sector index. When scanning for potential plays, first filter out any ETFs with an average daily volume of less than 100,000 shares. Beyond the average daily volume requirement, simply choose the ETF with the most rela...
