price volume trend(PVT)

price volume trend indicator is used to measure momentum as well as buying and selling preasure.

Price volume trend indicator is considered to be the same as on balance volume.

despite the Price volume trend(PVT) and on balance volume(OBV) considered to be the same,they differ on the fact that in  on balance volume you only add or subtract the total daily volume while in price volume trend(PVT), it only adds a portion of the volume multiplied by the percentage change of the close price divide by the previous close.

Price volume trend is therefore based on divergence.

Price volume trend is therefore calculated using the following formula;

Price volume trend(PVT)= [{(Current close - previous close)/previous close}*100]+ previous Price volume trend(PVT)


Since price volume trend is based on divergence,it therefore follows that when the price is uptrending while the price volume trend is moving downwards,the price will reverse and start moving in the same direction downwards as the price volume trend.On the other hand,when the price is downtrending while the price volume trend is moving upwards,the price will reverse and start moving in the same direction upwards as the price volume trend.This is indicated as from the candle sticks chart below;



From the candle sticks chart above,there are 3 points,A,B and C.Point A and B are divergence point while point C is the price volume trend curve.

At point A,the price in the market was moving upwards while the price volume trend(PVT) was moving downwards.This results to reversal in the price thus it started moving in the same direction downwards as the price volume trend(PVT) thus signaling the trader to be trading downwards.On the other hand,at point B,the price in the market was moving downwards while the price volume trend was uptrending.This results in reversal in the price thus it started moving in the same direction upwards as the price volume trend(PVT) thus signaling the trader to be trading in the upward market.


Recommendation:If you are a day trader just use 1 min,5 min,15 min and 30 min timeframe while if you are a swing trader just use 1 hour and above timeframe if you want price volume trend 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

coppock curve

Coppock curve indicator was created by Edwin Sedge Coppock. The coppock curve is a momentum indicator that was mainly created to determine the buy entry in the stock market.Beside buy entry for stock sell signal can also be identify though not recommended. Coppock curve has 3 period,that is 10 period,14 period and 11 period. Coppock curve is an momentum oscillator and therefore has an oscillation at point 0.0000. Coppock curve is therefore calculated using the following formula which is based on the 3 periods; Coppock curve =( WMA of 10period) of (14 period ROC+11period ROC) Where as; WMA is Weight Moving Average; ROC is Rate Of Change indicator; Since coppock curve has an oscillation at point 0,it therefore follows that when the coppock curve falls below 0.000 that will be an indication that the market has become an oversold market thus the trader should close any sell position and enter a buy position.On the other hand though not recommendable ,when the coppock curv

Least Square Moving Average(LSMA)

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 also be
