Indices : Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis is another value-added service which will facilitate your investment

decisions. It is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing trading statistics

generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. In

Technical Analysis, it is not about the security's intrinsic value of a company or a

commodity but instead charts and other tools are used to identify patterns that can

suggest future trading activity.

To go to the Technical Analysis tool, point to Indices > Technical Analysis.

Figure 10. Indices: Technical Analysis menu

Or, you can click the Technical Analysis icon located at the Header area.

You can also right-click from highlighted indices at Indices : Listing screen.

Or, directly press Ctrl + F3, 3.

Indicators

These indicators will provide detailed analysis technically where it will involve

mathematical calculation and scientific formula calculation. Currently there are more

than 30 indicator options available as listed in the table below.

Figure 39. Technical Indicators

No Indicators Name Description

1. Bolinger Band Consist of a pair of values put as an envelope around a data

field. To measure the values you should take the changing

average of the data for a definite period and subtracts or add the

definite number of standard deflections for the same period from

the moving average.

2. Exponential Moving

Average (EMAs) 1

A type of moving average that is similar to a simple moving

average, except that more weight is given to the latest data. This

type of moving average reacts faster to recent price changes

than a simple moving average. That is why it is also known as

Exponentially weighted moving average. In this case, the 12-

day EMAs.


Average (EMAs) 2

Similar to Exponential Moving Average 1 except it is the 26-day

EMAs.


Average (EMAs) 3

Similar to Exponential Moving Average 1.


Average (EMAs) 4

Similar to Exponential Moving Average 1.


Average Envelope

The Moving Average Envelopes indicator creates upper and lower

channel lines plotted an equidistant % (number of pips) above and

below the moving average. It also serve as an indicator of




overbought or oversold conditions, visual representations of price

trend, and an indicator of price breakouts.

7. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo The word Ichimoku can be translated to mean a glance or one

look. Kinko translates into equilibrium: or balance, and Hyo is

the Japanese word for chart. Thus, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo simply

means a glance at an equilibrium chart. Ichimoku charts

attempt to identify the probably direction of price and help the

trader to determine the most suitable time to enter and/or exit the

market. This indicator was developed so that a trader can gauge

an asset's trend, momentum and support and resistance points

without the need for any other technical indicator.

8. Parabolic A technical analysis strategy that uses trailing stops and a reverse

method called stop-and-reversal SAR to determine good exit

and entry points.

9. Price Channel The price action contained between two parallel lines in a trend. In

a price channel, the lower line is the trendline drawn on pivot lows,

and the upper line is the channel line drawn on pivot highs. The

two lines of channel represent support and resistance.

10. Simple Moving Average 1 A simple, or arithmetic, moving average that is calculated by

adding the closing price for a number of time periods and then

dividing this total by the same number of time periods. In other

words, this is the average stock price over a certain period of time.


adding the closing price of the security for a number of time

periods and then dividing this total by the number of time periods.

In other words, this is the average stock price over a certain period

of time.





of time.





of time.

14. Accumulation/Distribution Developed by Marc Chaikin, the Accumulation/Distribution

indicator attempts to assess the cumulative flow of money into and

out of a trading instrument. The basic premise has always been

that volume (or money flow) may be a leading indicator to price

action.

15. Average Directional Index

(ADX)

A momentum indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. The ADX is

constructed from two other Wilders indicators: the Positive

Directional indicator (+DI) and the Negative Directional Indicator (-

DI). The (+DI) and (-DI) indicators are commonly referred to as the

Directional Movement Index. Combining the +/-DI and applying a




Wilders() smoothing filter results in the final ADX value

16. Average True Range A measure of a trading instruments volatility. It measures the

degree of price movement, not the direction or duration of the

price movement. The True Range is first calculated using the

greater of the following: Difference between the current high and

the current low; Difference between the previous closing price and

the current high; Difference between the previous closing price

and the current low.

17. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) The CMF is based on the assumption that the nearer the close

price is to the high price of the daily range, the more

accumulation has taken place. Alternatively, the nearer the close

price is to the low price of the daily range, the more distribution has

taken place.

18. Commodity Channel Index

(CCI)

Developed by Donald Lambert, the Commodity Channel Index

(CCI) measures the variation of a securitys price from its statistical

mean. High values show that prices are unusually high compared

to average prices whereas low values indicate that prices are

unusually low. Contrary to its name, the CCI can be used

effectively on any type of trading instrument, not just commodities.

19. Elliot Wave Oscillator Theory named after Ralph Nelson Elliot, who concluded that the

movement of the stock market could be predicted by observing

and identifying a repetitive pattern of waves. Sometimes it is also

known as the Elliot Wave Theory.

20. Force Index This index created by Alexander Elder calculates the Bulls Power at

every rise and fall. The Force Index links the main parts of market

data: price trend and decreases, the volumes of transactions.

21. Guppy Multiple Moving

Average

An indicator used in technical analysis to identify changing trends.

The technique consists of combining two groups of moving

averages with differing time periods.

22. Momentum The momentum indicator is one of the simplest equations available

in modern technical analysis. Momentum is a measure of price

change velocity calculated as the difference between the current

bars price and the price of a selected number of previous bars.

Basically, it represents the rate of change of the trading

instruments price over those specified time periods.

23. Money Flow Index The Money Flow Index (MFI) is similar to the Relative Strength Index

(RSI) in calculation and interpretation except that volume is used

to weigh the average price values before summing the positive

and negative money flows.

24. Moving Average

Convergence/Divergence

The primary method of interpreting the MACD is with moving

average crossovers. When the shorter-term 12-period exponential

moving average (EMA) crosses over the longer-term 26-period

EMA a buy signal is generated; this is seen on the chart below with

the Green Arrow(s) and Vice Versa for the Sell Signal as shown on

the chart with Red Arrow(s).

25. On Balance Volume A method used in technical analysis to detect momentum, the




calculation of which relates volume to price change. OBV

provides a running total of volume and shows whether this volume

is flowing in or out of a given security.

26. Price Volume Trend A cumulative total of volume adjusted to the relative changes in

the instruments prices. It is similar in nature to the On Balance

Volume (OBV) indicator. However, unlike the OBV the PVT adds or

substracts only a portion of volume from the cumulative total in

relation to the percentage of change in prices whereas the OBV

adds all volume when prices close higher and substracts all volume

when prices close lower.

27. Rate of Change (ROC) The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator calculates how prices have

changed within a specified number of time periods by calculating

the difference between current bars price and the price of a

selected numbers of previous bars. The difference is calculated in

Points or as a Percentage.

28. Relative Strength Index

(RSI)

The RSI compares a trading instruments magnitude of recent gains

against its magnitude of recent losses and quantifies this

information into a value that ranges between 0 and 100.

29. Smoothed Relative

Strength Index

Smoothed Relative Strength Index is the same as Relative Strength

Index indicator just that it will smooth the line in a given period of

time.

30. Stochastic The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator designed to

show the relation of the current close price relative to the high/low

range over a given number of periods using a scale of 0-100.

31. Volume The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire

market during a given period of time. It is simply the amount of

shares that trades hands from sellers to buyers as a measure of

activity. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares from a seller,

then the volume for that period increases by 100 shares based on

that transaction.

32. William%Range A momentum oscillator used to measure overbought and oversold

levels. Its very similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except that the

%R is plotted upside-down on a negative scale from 0 to -100 and

has no internal smoothing

33. Setting Parameter settings for technical indicators.



Trading System Indicators (Signal)

These indicators will provide detailed analysis graphically in signal format for buying or

selling in each index.

Figure 40. Trading System Indicators (Signal)

The signals will be displayed in different numbering. Green arrow shows Buy signal

while Red arrow shows Sell signal.

Figure below shows the available trading system indicators applied to the chart.

Figure 41. Buy and Sell Signal Indicators



There are approximately 6 indicator options available as listed in the next table.


1. Average Directional Index

(ADX) Trading System

A Buy signal is generated when the PlusDI crosses above the

MinusDI. A Sell signal is generated when the PlusDI crosses below the

MinusDI.

2. Commodity Channel

Index (CCI) Trading

System

A Buy Signal is generated when the CCI crosses above the CCI

Control Level (+40). A Buy Exit signal is generated when the CCI

crosses below the CCI Control Level (+40), but only if the CCI has

crossed above the CCI Extreme Level (+100) since the most recent

Buy signal was generated. Otherwise, a Buy Exit signal is generated

when the CCI crosses below zero. A Sell signal is generated when

the CCI crosses below the negative CCI Control Level (-40). A Sell

Exit signal is generated when the CCI crosses above the negative

CCI Control Level (-40), but only if the CCI has crossed below the

negative CCI Extreme Level (-100) since the most recent Sell signal

was generated. Otherwise, a Sell Exit signal is generated when the

CCI crosses above zero.

3 Moving Average
