The following figure shows how the Bullish Engulfing Pattern looks like. The following conditions must be met for a pattern to be a bullish engulfing. 1. The stock is in a downtrend (short term or long term) 2. The first candle is a red candle (down day) and the second candle must be white (up day) 3. The body of the second candle must completely engulfs the first candle. The following conditions strengthen the buy signal 1. The trading volume is higher than usual on the engulfing day 2. The engulfing candle engulfs multiple previous down days. 3. The stock gap up or trading higher the next day after the bullish engulfing pattern is formed.

  • Predicting SARS-Cov-2 Infection Trend Using Technical Analysis Indicators
    medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.13.20100784; this version posted May 20, 2020.

No reuse allowed without permission. Predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection trend using technical analysis indicators Marino Paroli and Maria Isabella Sirinian Department of Clinical, Anesthesiologic and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Without efficacious drugs or vaccines, mass quarantine has been the main strategy adopted by governments to contain the virus spread. This has led to a significant reduction in the number of infected people and deaths and to a diminished pressure over the health care system. However, an economic depression is following due to the forced absence of worker from their job and to the closure of many productive activities. For these reasons, governments are lessening progressively the mass quarantine measures to avoid an economic catastrophe. Nevertheless, the reopening of firms and commercial activities might lead to a resurgence of infection. In the worst-case scenario, this might impose the return to strict lockdown measures. Epidemiological models are therefore necessary to forecast possible new infection outbreaks and to inform government to promptly adopt new containment measures. In this context, we tested here if technical analysis methods commonly used in the financial market might provide early signal of change in the direction of SARS-Cov-2 infection trend in Italy, a country which has been strongly hit by the pandemic.

However, up to this day, they come with a lot of subjectivity. This implies that it is hard to implement them algorithmically.

Christos A. Ioannou 2/27 The Dow Theory • The Dow Theory, named after its creator Charles Dow (who established The Wall Street Journal), is the grandfather of most technical analysis. • The aim of the Dow theory is to identify long-term trends in stock market prices. • The two indicators used are the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA). The DJIA is the key indicator of underlying trends, while the DJTA usually serves as a check to confirm or reject that signal. Christos A. Ioannou 3/27 The Dow Theory (Cont.) The Dow theory posits three forces simultaneously affecting stock prices: 1 The primary trend is the long-term movement of prices, lasting from several months to several years. 2 Secondary or intermediate trends are caused by short-term deviations of prices from the underlying trend line. These deviations are eliminated via corrections when prices revert back to trend values. 3 Tertiary or minor trends are daily fluctuations of little importance. Christos A.

Funny how the smaller the time frame you trade, the more accuracy is required of you the trader. I cannot tell you how many times I opened a position 5 minutes too soon or closed a minute early. We are literally talking about seconds here and the difference between a profitable or losing trade. To help improve timing, day traders will heavily rely on time and sales and level 2. However, understanding how the broad market is moving can help you stay on the right side of the market. For example, if you were long a stock in the Nikkei the night of the 2016 presidential election results came in with Trump as the winner, you were just blindsided. It wasn’t that you picked the wrong stock or anything. The Nikkei shot lower across the board due to the election results, only to rally by the close. Well, in this article we will cover these market breadth indicators and how you can use them to improve the accuracy of your trading. Top 7 Market Breadth Indicators for Day Traders It’s not an official TradingSim post if we do not provide a top 10 list. #1 – TICK Index The TICK Index is a measurement of the short-term bias of the overall market and is one of the most important tools for day trading.
