Harmonic Bat Pattern – Definition & Features

by

It is similar to the Gartley pattern but with different Fibonacci levels, for example, the Fibonacci retracement of 88.6% of the X-A movement.

If we speak of an ideal or perfect harmonic Bat pattern, its defining characteristics are as follows:

Support and Resistance in Trading

by

Two of the most basic concepts in the technical analysis of the financial markets are both the resistances and the supports. And when we talk about basic concepts we mean that they are very simple to understand and at the same time they are one of the pillars on which the technical analysis is based. First of all, we are going to define what is support and what is resistance.

  • Resistance is defined as a level or price above the current price at which the selling force will stop and eventually exceed the buying force so that it puts an end to the bullish momentum. This causes the price to begin to fall and even to reverse the upward trend. In a price chart like the one shown in the following figure, the resistances can be identified as previous peaks reached by the price before falling. In an upward trend, the resistances can be visualized as increasing highs.
  • The concept of support, on the other hand, is opposite to that of resistance. Support is defined as a level or price below the current price in which the buying power equals and eventually exceeds the selling power so that the bearish momentum is stopped and this will cause the price to rise and even the bearish trend could be reversed. Generally, in a price chart, the supports can be identified as minimums reached before the price starts to rise. In a bearish trend, the supports can be identified as increasingly lower minimums.
The following image shows several real examples of resistance (lines R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) and supports (lines S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5).

What is price action?

by
Price action is a common term used in trading to refer to the analysis of the movements made by the price of a particular asset or financial instrument in the market.
Although it is included in the technical analysis, the analysis of price action does not use any technical indicator and the forecast of the future price trend is made based on the interpretation given by the trader of the price movement and not by the value shown by an indicator.
Price movements as a time function can be represented in the form of price charts, tables or other graphics. When price charts used other related tool analysis of chart patterns, often included in the analysis of price action, although not all traders agree this classification.

Trading strategy based on the Parabolic SAR and volume

by

The Parabolic system price/time is another idea that introduced the famous Welles Wilder in his book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems“. This system was developed as a high and reversal strategy, which means that a trader using this approach will always have either a buy position or a short position in the market. Here we must remember that when the Parabolic SAR generates a buy signal, for example, a series of bullish points  appears below the current price action. As the market moves higher, the indicator points also rise, first slowly and then faster.

When the trend is stopped or begins to reverse, points and prices intersect, in which case a long position is closed and a new short position is open. For this system, we want to determine whether the addition of a volume requirement for Parabolic SAR entry signals can improve the performance of these signals. For example, the buy signal for this system is when a high in price reaches a point of Parabolic SAR above the market with a volume higher than the simple moving average of 5 periods (five bars) of volume. Both conditions must be met in the same bar.
