Indicator - Stochastic Oscillator


Oscillators

The oscillator is derived from the Latin word “oscillo” which means swing or movement. In technical analysis, oscillators represent a mathematical expression in relation to the speed of the price movement. Because of this, they also call the indicators of their advance.

The oscillators are mainly used to determine the price of the so-called "saturated buying" and "saturated selling" zones. The saturated buy means that the indicator is at its maximum rate and therefore the next increase in the price is less likely. In the case of the sale of the indicator, the indicator is at the lowest rate and therefore the further movement of the price will no longer continue. From the above, it pursues that the traders are using the oscillators to change the trend.

Oscillators are often used when there is a flat and the market does not have a sharp expression. The indicators in trading terminal MT5 are displayed in a separate window below the schedule. The trader can change the settings of some oscillator at its discretion and in this way it will get such an indicator that is better suited to its trading system.

The main task of the trader is to use the oscillator to receive a signal indicating the change in the trend and in the same way open the position of the new trend.

Indicator - Stochastic Oscillator 

Pic 1 - Stochastic Oscillator - saturated buying and saturated selling zones

Picture 1 is a familiar indicator for a trademark. It has two lines and symbols are% K and% D.

Indicator - Force Comparative Index (RSI)

This indicator was developed in 1978. Comparative index indicator of power is used to determine the most expensive purchase and saturated selling zones. For many traders, the oscillator is more easily understood because it has only one curve in contrast to the statistics.


Picture 2 - Trade according to RSI Oscillator

In addition, these indicators, as well as other oscillators, are used to determine the price and indicator curve divergence. This is a very rare but at the same time quite a strong signal to open the position.


Indicator - Williams Percentage Range (Williams% R)

Picture 3 - Indicator - Williams' percentage range

If we take classical Statistics and introduce it, then we will get the value of Williams's percentage range. This indicator is based on analyzing the closing price of candles. The indicator is mainly used for identifying saturated buying and saturated selling zones. Position opens when the indicator goes to 0 or 100 marks.

The major mistake of the beginner traders is to trade with oscillators

Many traders believe that a successful "magic" oscillator is enough for successful trading, through which we can see the trend change. This is a very wrong idea because the trading strategy based on oscillator alone is very likely to be unprofitable and the start-up seller is very disappointed in this regard. The oscillator can only be considered as an auxiliary tool for market analysis. In conjunction with other instruments of market analysis, he may give some benefit to the trader.

Formation of "triple bottom"

Image
The formation of " triple bottom " in technical analysis is recognized as a substitute for trend direction movement. It consists of 3 minimums and it indicates the change in the downward trend. The formation of "triple bottom" is similar to its structure with the "dual bottom" figure; the difference is that it adds another minimum. The formation "triple bottom" is formed on the background of a strong downward trend. In case, if the market is not set up in the downward trend and we see a similar figure of "triple bottom", this means that the patent is similar to that figure but not the "triple bottom" pattern. Pic 1. - The formation of a "triple bottom" The basic elements of the "triple bottom" are 1. Formation of a "triple bottom" must be preceded by a strong downward trend. 2. Figure 3 must have three (minimum), which are at one level, but there is a slight margin bet

Stock ribbon (Times & Sales) and effective trade exchange The stock ribbon  is a great help to the traders in trading, although many think that it is almost impossible to read the stock ribbon and the DOM (Depth Market Market) after a wide arrangement of the HFT algorithms on the market.  But the fact is that most of the successful traders have the art of reading the stock tape. According to some traders, the graphs are a history because they are created in the stock line and the flow of incoming traffic in the DOM. The graphs cannot exist without the stock ribbon , but the stock tape will always exist without graphs. It should be noted that the information received from the  stock tape  and the DOM fills each other, although the two modules come in very different information. Fig. 1 - Limit orders layout DOM module In the DOM we have information about the possible intent of the traders. Bid and Ask, which are located on either the side of the colu

Mathematical Expectations and Trading System Evaluation Methodology

Image
Mathematical E xpectations and Trading System Evaluation Methodology Mathematical expectations play a great role in evaluating trading systems , in addition to fundamental and technical analysis, trading plays an important role in mathematics, more precisely, the capital Trade Management System.  And, the main parameter of the system, the so-called  Mathematical Expectation. Traders may have full knowledge of technical analysis, is well aware of macroeconomics, realize what fundamental factors influence on the market, but if the trade is based on a negative  mathematical expectation , then it will never be successful in this activity.  Even if the transaction is closed with a profit of 8 to 10 from the transaction, it will still be a loss. For example, if the profit from each deal amounted to 10 pips, while the loss of trade in the case of item 50, we get the following picture: Earnings: 8 * 10 = 80 pips; Losses: 2 * 50 = 100 pips; Total: 80 - 1
