  • The Four Most Reliable Technical Indicators
    The Four Most Reliable Technical Indicators By Alan Bush ADM Investor Services New Historical Highs Indicate Follow Through Strength There is a rule of thumb that anytime a market makes new historical highs, there will probably be follow through to the upside. In some cases, the additional strength can be substantial. The best and most recent example of this is the record highs in stock index futures. The logic behind this is that, if the fundamentals are powerful enough to propel a market to new historical highs, they are probably strong enough to persist for a while longer and push prices even higher. Therefore, the probabilities of financial success are much greater when trading from the long side, when new historical highs have been registered, than by trading from the short side in an attempt to guess when a bull market of this magnitude may eventually top out. Looking at Double and Triple Bottoms and Tops in a Different Way First let’s start with the basics. The double bottom and double top patterns are common and easily recognizable chart patterns, which occur in all timeframes. The double bottom appears as two consecutive lows at approximately the same price and the double top pattern is formed when two consecutive peaks are registered at approximately the same level. Triple bottom and triple top formations are less common, although the rules for double bottoms and tops and triple bottoms and tops are the same. Double Bottom Double Top Triple Bottom Triple Top Traditional charting techniques tell us that it is a good idea to buy on a retest of multiple bottoms and sell on a retest of an area of multiple tops.

Investing involves risk, including risk of loss. Past performance is no guarantee of future results Stop loss orders do not guarantee the execution price you will receive and have additional risks that may be compounded in pe riods of market volatility. Stop loss orders could be triggered by price swings and could result in an execution well below your trigg er price. Trailing stop orders may have increased risks due to their reliance on trigger pricing, which may be compounded in periods of market volatility, as well as market data and other internal and external system factors. Trailing stop orders are held on a separat e, internal order file, place on a "not held" basis and only monitored between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern. Technical analysis focuses on market action – specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

  • Rising Wedge, Falling Wedge (PDF)
    RISING WEDGE, FALLING WEDGE Rewarding patterns…provided you stay disciplined! Introduction The wedge is a very usual chartist pattern which is made of two converging trendlines that go in the same direction, both upwards or both downwards. As such, it can be immediately distinguished from a triangle. This pattern can be found on every timeframe, from the monthly charts to intraday price action. There are two sorts of wedges that have opposite consequences: Falling wedges, mostly completed following a sharp slump and which have a bullish implication, Rising wedges, which foreshadow a violent, downwards reversal phase. Their bearish bias is all the more pronounced since they are completed after a long period of time, and following a clear uptrend. But regarding most wedges as reversal patterns are just an opinion on our own. Many authors, however, consider that following the examples of triangles, pennants and flags, wedges are essentially continuation patterns, sloped against the trend. True, you can find falling wedges just in the middle of a bullish trend, or rising wedges within a bearish trend. A perfect example of continuation rising wedge made on the Japanese Topix index in 2007 is shown on the chart below. 1 Setting up precise figures on the continuation or reversal nature of wedges is hard and useless, we think. What is of more interest is that continuation wedges tend to complete in a generally shorter lapse of time than reversal wedges. Furthermore, the debate over the reversal/continuation nature of wedges is of minor importance as these patterns are overwhelmingly broken in the "natural" sense: downwards for a rising wedge, upwards for a falling wedge.
