Analysis

  • There are many methods of technical analysis in trading. One of the most popular is trading by patterns or, as they are also called, figures. This method of predicting the price direction has a lot of supporters and opponents. Let's try to evaluate the pros and cons of trading on patterns of technical analysis. Why are there technical analysis patterns supporters rely on one of the postulates of technical analysis, which states that the price takes into account everything. The price has a graphical representation: a continuous line, bars, Japanese candlesticks. Accordingly, studying the price chart of an asset is essential for predicting the price.

  • Just recently ECB governor Mario Draghi surprised financial circles by saying that he had serious concerns about the influence of political forces on the work of global central banks, especially, as he put it, central banks of leading jurisdictions. You don't have to be a jack-of-all-trades to understand that Mario Draghi's remarks refer to President Trump's harsh criticism of the Fed. We will try to understand how the relationship between the U.S. president and the Fed works, and whether Trump can have any real influence on Jerome Powell's agency.

  • Just 10 years ago the EUR/USD had a fluctuation range of 2,400 pips in just one quarter. In the first quarter of this year, the fluctuation range barely reached 400 pips. The time of aggressive monetary policy is over. The sentiments of the world's central banks are getting more and more "dovish" and that is simply killing speculative trading at the foreign exchange market. Even a beginning trader knows that profit at currency market is formed due to difference in exchange rates. To buy cheaper and sell dearer is the essence of trading. The difference in price is a trader's profit, and the bigger it is, the more trader can earn. The central banks of the world, not excluding...

  • One of the most controversial graphical figures of technical analysis of the continuation of the trend on , are triangles. In fact, triangle shapes are similar in their construction to "Pennants" and "Flags", but without the initial upward/downward movement. Symmetric Triangle Trading Signals What is a symmetric triangle and how is it formed? When the bulls and bears are in equilibrium in the market, and volatility gradually subsides, the price is "clamped" in a narrow range. We can make a symmetrical triangle with at least two points of lows and two points of highs in this narrowing formation. As a rule, a symmetrical triangle pattern will look like two converging support and resistance lines. Once we have overcome the narrow range and narrowed the chart...

  • Every trader knows about the figures of technical analysis and many use them in their trading. But it turns out that not everyone knows how to trade by them correctly. If there are no problems with the figure definition, its marking etc., many traders, especially beginners, are at a loss as to where to place stop-loss and take-profit orders. Let's try to understand it by taking the most popular TA figures. The figure of a trend reversal "Head and shoulders" The figure of the technical analysis "Head and shoulders" is a reversal and means the end of the uptrend. The mirror figure is "Inverted head and shoulders" - the sign of the end of the downtrend. The figure, as it is clear from the name, consists of schematically displayed two "shoulders"...

  • Фигуре разворота тренда «Голова и плечи» посвящено достаточно большое количество исследований и публикаций. Авторы сравнивают ее с волновой структурой Эллиотта, со схемой процесса накопления и распределения, характеризующей деятельность крупных игроков на рынке , и даже разрабатывают обратные торговые стратегии, основанные на нежизнеспособности фигуры «Голова и плечи» в определенных рыночных условиях. Упущенные аспекты фигуры технического анализа «Голова и плечи» Являясь сторонником гармоничной торговли и предпочитая проводить анализ в его классическом понимании, я, в свою очередь, хотел бы обратить внимание на два немаловажных аспекта, о которых не стоит забывать трейдерам, использующим фигуру технического анализа «Голова и плечи»: Во-первых, ее можно разложить на части, каждая из которых является…

  • Анализ нескольких таймфреймов в стратегии “Следование за рынком” обеспечивает более широкий взгляд на рынок и повышение качества оценки динамики котировок торгуемого актива. Как работает MTF стратегия Движение рынка происходит в нескольких временных периодах одновременно, поэтому любой  котировочный  сигнал, анализируемый трейдером, состоит из множества ритмов с различными периодами, при этом ритмы непостоянные: возникают и исчезают в ходе своей эволюции во времени. Это может приводить к противоречиям в тенденциях (трендах) рынка в зависимости от временного периода, используемого трейдером в качестве основного при торговле. Например, по основному периоду – тренд “восходящий”, но при этом наблюдаются среднесрочный и краткосрочный “нисходящие” тренды по другим периодам.…

  • The use of patterns in trading on the currency market, be it Price Action, candlestick patterns or technical analysis patterns, is one of the popular methods of price forecasting and is used by many traders. Nevertheless, there are many examples when a seemingly perfect pattern "cheats" the trader, not realizing its potential.

Unfortunately, cases of "non-performance" of the patterns on the currency market are common. It is enough to have a closer look at the chart to find them. Of course the older the timeframe the higher the probability that everything will work, but on larger...

  • The figures of a trend reversal "Double bottom" and "Double top" appear on the price chart quite often, and at any time interval. In technical analysis they are quite a strong sign of a trend reversal. Tehanalysis figure "Double bottom" is formed when trend is descending, and "Double top" - when trend is ascending.
