True strength index indicator

True strength index  indicator was created by William Blau.
True strength index  indicator is a momentum  oscillator that is used to show whether there is an overbought or oversold in the market.
True strength index  indicator is based on crossover and therefore has two crossover lines,the red and the blue line.The red line indicates the signal line  while the blue line indicates the true strength indicator.
True strength index  indicator has oscillation at point  0 ranging between -100 to 100.
True strength index indicator is calculated using the following formula;

True strength index indicator(TSI)=( DOUBLE SMOOTH PRICE CHANGE/DOUBLE SMOOTH ABSOLUTE PRICE CHANGE)*100

Since True strength index indicator is an oscillator and is based on crossover of the TRI above or below the signal line to indicate oversold and overbought in the market ,it therefore follows that when the True Strength index crosses above the signal line at below -25,that will be an indication of an oversold market thus the trader should close any sell position and open a buy position since the market will start moving upwards while when the True strength index crosses below the signal line at 25 that will be an indication of an overbought market thus the trader should close any buy position and open a sell position since the market will start moving downwards.This is indicated as from the candle sticks chart below;




From the candle sticks chart above,there are 4 points,A,B,C and D. Point A represents a point in which the True strength index indicator has rises above the signal line while point B represents the point at which the True strength index has fallen below the signal line.Point C which is blue line represents the True strength index(TSI)  while point D which is red in color represents the signal line.
At point A,the True strength index has risen above the signal line at below -25 thus an indication of an oversold market thus signaling the trader to close any sell position at that point and open a buy position since the market is starting an uptrend at that point .On the other hand,at point B,the True strength index has fallen below the signal line at above 25 thus an indication of an overbought market at that point thus signaling the trader to close any buy position at that point and open a sell position since the market is starting a downtrend.


Recommendation:If you are a day trader,just use 1 min,5 min,15 min and 30 min time frame while if you are a swing trader just use 1 hour and above time frame if you want true strength index indicator to work well for you

MA cross

MA cross is a trading indicator that is used to filter out noise from the price chart. MA cross can also be used by a trader to know the direction in which the price is moving. MA cross indicator is a trend indicator. MA cross is based on the crossover. Based on the crossover, MA cross has two moving average, the shorter term moving average and the longer term moving average. The shorter-term moving average is normally red in color and it represents the price while the longer term moving average is normally blue in color and it represents the moving average. Therefore, since MA cross is based on the crossover, it, therefore, follows that when the short term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average that will be an indication of an upward market movement thus the trader should be trading upwards. On the other hand, when the short term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average that will be an indication of a downward market thus the trader should b...

Least Square Moving Average(LSMA)

Image
Least square moving average is also called linear regression moving average. Least square moving average is a trend following indicator. Just like in other moving average indicators, least square moving average is also used to indicate the direction of the market, that is whether the market is trending upwards or downwards. Least square moving average is based on bullish and bearish market as well as support and resistance. Least square moving average is therefore calculated using the following formula; LSMA= h*t+b  where as h={(n Σt i x i ) -  ( Σt i Σx i )}/{(n Σt i ) - ( Σt i Σt i )} b=1/n Σx i -h*1/n Σt i while t is the time and n is the period Since least square moving average is a trend following indicator and is based on bullish and bearish, it therefore follows that when the market is in an uptrend movement,the least square moving average will also be moving upwards while when the market is in a downward trend, the least square moving average will...

fisher transform

Image
Fisher transform indicator was created by John  Ehlers. Fisher transform is used to transform time series data into a Gaussian Normal distribution function. Therefore in trading,fisher transform can be considered to be an indicator that is used to transform the price of any foreign exchange rate,price of securities ,price of commodities and price of stocks into a Gaussian Normal distribution . Fisher transform is an oscillator and therefore has oscillation at point 0.000 ranging from -1 to 1. Fisher transform is based on crossover.It therefore has two crossover lines,the fisher transform line which is blue in color and the signal line. Fisher transform is therefore calculated using the following formula; Fisher transform= 1/2*natural logarithm { (1+x)/(1-x) } NB; x is the transformation of price between the range of -1 to 1 Since fisher transform is based on crossover and has two crossover lines,the fisher transform which is blue in color and the signal line which i...
