Pullback Trading [Fhenry0331]The indicator is taken from Alexander Elders "Triple Screen System," minus using the Weekly MACD as a filter/trend. I believe waiting for the force index and the weekly MACD histogram to line-up is uber conservative and a trader will miss too many signals (In my opinion).
The indicator is for a pullback trader. A trader that waits for a trend to develop then enters on a pullback.
The indicator defines an uptrend start: as the 13 ema crossing above the 26 ema. It defines a downtrend start: as the 13 ema crossing below the 26 ema.
The pullback in an uptrend: 13 ema is above the 26 ema. Elders-Force-Index is below the zero line. Price low has crossed below the 13 ema (one can also say price closes below the 13 ema if they so wish).
The pullback in a downtrend: 13 ema is below the 26 ema. Elders-Force-Index is above the zero line. Price high has also crossed above the 13 ema.
Please note that the pullback signals do not necessitate an automatic buy or sell (the instrument can be still pulling back deeper and not ready to resume it's trend.) One should place orders above (long) or below (short) bars with the pullback signals. Do so on signals until orders are filled.
Although the indicator is meant for pullbacks one can make an aggressive entry at the onset of a crossover of ema's.
For clarity background colors has been added to the indicator.
works well on daily time frame. Also look at intraday (5) minute time frame on trending stocks (news, earnings, volume, etc.)
Keep It Simple.
Enjoy!
Uptrend
Stock Market Trend Analysis Trading System 101 (by ChartArt)This is a very simple trading system which is measuring the core of uptrends and downtrends using three basic elements: Close price, HL2 price, Pivot price.
Depending if the uptrend or downtrend is strong, the buy/sell signals are shown in different colors. The stronger trends are in brighter colors (lime and fuchsia). If the trend just fully changed direction from uptrend to downtrend (or vice versa), there is a background color highlight in the color of the new trend direction.
The trend detection should work best on monthly charts. I have created this in under an hour. My goal was to use the least amount of rules possible, therefore there are many false signals and the code is quite lazy.
You can lose all your money if you rely on these buy/sell signals!
Market Trend Strength (MTS) (by ChartArt)See the current trend strength of the market. An additional filter makes trend consolidation areas visible. The color changes there each bar back and forth between green and red.
This area was interesting. Would have been a better example:
If the filter is deactivated the indicator shows the last measured price trend (green for up and down for red).
Hobble Skirt Bottom Impede Fashion (by ChartArt)A very noisy indicator to detect bottoms and new uptrends.
Original idea by ChartArt.
First published indicator - constructive criticism welcome.
(The indicator is experimental and doesn't work most of the time.)
I would describe it as an "coincident indicator". The signals occur at approximately the same time as the conditions it signifies. Rather than predicting future events it changes at the same time to the upside as possible bottoms show up.
P.S. hobble skirt is a syllable of chart, that is how I came up with the name
"A hobble skirt was a skirt with a narrow enough hem to significantly impede the wearer's stride, and was a short-lived fashion trend around the turn of the twentieth century."
P.P.S. Bottoms are also short-lived...
