As I promised last time, today I will tell you what happens when an insidious "expanding formation" pattern merges with an equally insidious "symmetrical triangle" pattern as part of my study of classical technical analysis for the stock market. But it's simple: there appears a rare and little-studied on the daily data of the Russian stocks "Diamond" or Rhombus trend reversal pattern. Figure "Diamond" - the rules of formation The figure "Diamond" is a strange figure, because the process of its formation takes a long time. Russian shares quotations are too emotional to stay in a limited range for a long time. In classical technical analysis literature you can see not only the terms of formation and description of "Diamond" and "Rhombus" figures, but also find out...

Для оценки потенциальных рисков и возможных выгод опционов используют показатели чувствительности, которые принято называть греками (greeks). При использовании ванилла-опционов обращаются не только к пяти общеизвестным грекам, но и углубляются иной раз в более сложные материи, имеющие отношение к вопросам определения меры риска опционных контрактов. С бинарными (числовыми) опционами дело оценки чувствительности обстоит одновременно и сложнее, и проще. Другие статьи мастер-класса «Бинарные опционы» Бинарные опционы — почём опиум для народа? Бинарные опционы: математика все та же Сложности связаны с тем, что математика бинарных опционов является понятной и легко считается по общеизвестным моделям лишь для европейских опционов. Однако европейские бинары являются менее…

Last time we discussed the magic of the Triangle pattern on the daily charts as part of our study of the application of technical analysis to Russian securities. In this article, I'm going to tell you what happens when a triangle starts to build from the "apex" instead of the "base" and forms into an "Expanding Formation" pattern. As usual, I'm not going to rewrite the book's wisdom, rather we'll immediately compare the theory with reality. The Expanding Formation pattern is not for speculation! You don't have to go far to get an example of the Expanding Formation pattern. It is on the daily chart of the most popular Sberbank stock from the beginning of 2013. The mistake many traders make is trying to trade on the basis of this pattern. On the...

In this series of articles about "investing up to a million", I suggest that readers consider buying assets to create their own diversified investment portfolio for a long period of time: up to several tens of years. This type of investing, as it is easy to guess, allows you to increase profits from year to year, gradually, so that with sufficient investments we get a good return, exceeding bank deposits.

The purpose of the Maastricht Treaty The Maastricht Treaty was designed to transform the then European Community into a political, economic and monetary bloc.

At present, central banks of the world are a powerful instrument of monetary regulation. This function has a default effect on fluctuations of asset prices in financial markets. Changes in policy of any central bank, the economy of which has a noticeable weight in the scale of the world economy, lead to corresponding, quite abnormal reactions of financial markets. U.S. Federal Reserve: lords of dollars The most influential in this matter, of course, is the U.S. Federal Reserve System - FED (Federal Reserve System). The FED is completely independent in its economic policy decisions. When the chairman of the FED makes a speech, the markets react very strongly to his statements, especially when it comes to changes in interest rates. The ECB: the benchmark...

According to the plan of our training course, we should move on to the study of technical indicators and their application, but the other day I came across an interesting chart that makes me return to the topic of classical technical analysis and, in particular, to the model of uncertainty - the "Triangle" pattern. The reversal power of the "Symmetrical Triangle" pattern Analysts and stock coaches are often accused of showing only historical summaries. Today we have the opportunity to observe the technical analysis figure "Triangle" in dynamics. In free access you can find articles substantiating the reversal power of the "Symmetrical Triangle" figure for Russian popular securities. I "made friends" with these figures long ago, back in December 2007.....

The market is a set of views, ideas and opinions of all its participants. It should be remembered that the use of trading methods based on market sentiment does not always give absolutely accurate entry and exit points for each trade, but the simultaneous use of market sentiment indicators analysis with other technical and fundamental methods can and should greatly increase your efficiency in trading. As an introduction, I would like to cite a general law of economics. This is an example of the ratio, when the price for any market asset is based on the balance of supply and demand in the market. Accordingly, when the demand increases, the price for the asset will be higher. The greater the supply, i.e. the more sellers on the...

In the previous article of the cycle, we took an overview of several crisis situations that strongly affect the stability of most European member states of the EU. The single currency is a very serious economic tool for pressure, and the fact that it is primarily managed by Germany gives this country many advantages over European (and not only) countries. Birth of a European leader A little historical background. Germany as a country was formed relatively recently, if we compare it, for example, with France or Italy. Initially, it was a country consisting of a huge number of principalities, each of which was, in fact, a separate state with its own economy, currency and even language (German language in the current...

В данной статье цикла мы продолжаем исследование понятия «хедж-фондов»: узнаем об отличительных чертах хедж-фондов от классических инвестиционных фондов и стратегиях управления активами. Другие статьи мастер-класса «Хедж-фонды»: История возникновения хедж-фондов Принципы функционирования хедж-фондов Отличительные черты хедж-фондов В наше время, приобретая акции хедж-фонда, инвесторы полностью полагаются на честность портфельного менеджера, так как рабочие системы таких фондов являются достаточно сложными, и не могут быть детально описаны в инвестиционной оферте. По умолчанию понятно, что концептуальные принципы функционирования хедж-фондов обеспечивают небольшие риски относительно обычных классических ретро-фондов, но они могут существенно повышаться при спекулятивных действиях управляющего активами. Так как хедж-фонды используют заемные ресурсы, то отметим такой…

During the master class "Programming on " In the process of daily trading most of us regularly encounter with various programs written for the terminal MetaTrader 4. Scripts, indicators, advisors - their essence is to help us to make a decision on placing or closing an order (or even to completely automate this process). 90% of time they work absolutely fine, and we are satisfied with them. However, in the remaining 10% times, there are situations when the programs do not give us a complete market situation. At such moments an irresistible desire arises to optimize them (read - to improve them): to add a new condition of entry or exit, correct the behavior a little, at last, just display a warning message -...

The previous publications were only a preamble before the actual market actions. Now it is time to briefly describe the strategy of further trading. The description cannot be complete, because there are more than enough "little tricks" in it. Of course, I will try to describe each tactic, but since we are dealing with a chaotically changing process, in some cases we will have to reinvent our actions based on the key description of a similar (not identical) market situation. The minus outweighing all the pluses Currently, the Internet has a huge number of publications devoted to the so-called "grid strategy". It is discussed on forums, described in articles, and, as a consequence, advisors are offered both for free and for...
