Master Class: Trading Strategies in Practice - Strategy 5 In the Metatrader's manual I found an interesting sentence in the description of the Williams' Percent Range (Williams' %R) indicator. Quote: "The Williams' Percent Range indicator has a curious ability to anticipate price reversals in a mysterious way. It almost always forms a peak and turns down a certain amount of time before the price peaks and turns down. Similarly, the Williams Percent Range usually forms a trough and turns up ahead of time." End of quote! After that I wanted to understand how this "curious ability" appeared in a simple mathematical formula of the indicator: %R = (MAX (HIGH (i - n)) - CLOSE (i)) / (MAX...

Согласно волновой теории Эллиотта движения цен на е можно с долей условности разбить на 2 вида волновых циклов: пятиволновые (1-2-3-4-5) (см. рис. 1) или трехволновые (А-В-С) (см. рис. 2) циклы. Основы волновой теории Рис. 1. Пример 5-волнового цикла. Рис. 2. Пример цикла А-В-С. По сути, это два главных элемента волнового анализа, к ним также добавляют разного вида коррекции (правильные, неправильные, треугольные, прямоугольные и проч.), удлиненные, усеченные волны и так далее. Вся данная классификация призвана помочь трейдеру найти минимум на восходящем тренде (наиболее выгодная цена для сделки на buy) и максимум на тренде нисходящем (выгодней продавать подороже). И тут возникает закономерные…

В данной статье продолжим рассматривать волновую теорию Эллиотта применительно к рынку . В первой части мы рассмотрели классическую пятиволновку, расписали свойства каждой волны, а также затронули некоторые трудности, которые могут возникать при определении волн на графике цены в реальном времени. Больше всего неудобств может вызывать определение усеченных импульсных волн, так как в режиме он-лайн такая волна может сильно запутать и в итоге стать импульсом в обратную от старого тренда сторону. Темой данной статьи является трехволновой цикл АВС и его отличие от пятиволнового цикла 1-2-3-4-5. О трехволновом цикле ABC Критерии каждой из трех волн в цикле АВС мало чем отличаются от…

Master-class: Trading strategies in practice. Strategy 10 When studying stock trading and trading systems in particular, we are used to distinguishing two states in the market: a trend and a flat. Based on the knowledge of which of them prevails in the market, a trader makes a decision to "turn on" one or another system. For example, a trend following system - to work in a trend with wide stop-orders or without them, and with even larger TakeProfits. Or counter-trend - to work in a flat, triggered when the price approaches a significant level of support or resistance. Such a system assumes a relatively short Stop Loss and Take Profit, i.e. exit the market when the price approaches the opposite border of the flat. However on...

The very name of the deal to buy short, or short deal, is slang and appeared on the stock exchange.

Margin trading provided an opportunity to sell goods borrowed on credit at a more attractive price, making a quick profit. This is where the name "short deal" came from. Market participants who open sell deals, i.e., play on the decrease in the price of an asset, are called bears. It is believed that bears paw the price down. The opposite of...

Master Class: Through the Eyes of Science A trend or trend in a time series is a somewhat conventional notion. The trend is understood as a regular, non-random component of a time series (usually monotonous), which can be calculated according to a certain unambiguous rule. Trend analysis and determining the duration of the trend is one of the main points in the trader's work. Therefore, mathematical modeling of the probability of existence and monotonicity of a trend, as well as the estimation of its probable duration is a relevant task [1,3]. The trend of time series is often connected with the action of physical laws or any other objective laws. However, it is impossible to uniquely divide a random process or time series into a regular part (trend) and an oscillating part (residual). Therefore, it is usually assumed that the trend...
