A word of warning
At TiG we are fully aware that trading the financial markets is not always an easy task. It can be very risky and highly stressful. The markets can do whatever they want whenever they want, meaning there is no certainty in trading other than prices going up and down over time. We strongly recommend that all customers first use our indicators with a practice trade account. Most online brokerages can offer you some form of demo account. Our indicators analyze past data in order to indicate something which has been happening in the market. There is absolutely no guarantee that the markets will continue to produce the same results once you enter into a trade. There are literally hundreds of books published on the psychology of trading and how the mind works to manipulate the data that charts and indicators produce. We believe that all traders should practice using our indicators, placing trades based on the indicators using a demo trade account, until the trader feels happy that they can use them effectively to help them in their real trading decisions.

The TiG Value Chart Indicator


A Value Chart indicator is designed to provide an indication of price levels relative to what can be considered as fair value. It aims to show when the price of a particular security moves into overbought (above fair value) or oversold (below fair value) territory, which can be extremely useful information to a trader. The main benefits of using a value chart in trading are the ability to identify levels of fair value, as well as overbought and oversold levels; the ability to regularly pinpoint price reversals; the ability to remove the emotional enemies of fear and greed from your trading; and the avoidance of buying market tops and selling market bottoms. The value chart indicator consists of a series of vertical bars displayed on a floating axis. The floating axis is able to represent relative deviations from a midline, regardless of fluctuations in the price volatility of a security, so that a reasonable indication of value can always be determined. There are a number of zones contained within the value chart as follows: 8.00 to 12.00 representing Significantly Overbought territory 4.00 to 8.00 representing Moderately Overbought territory -4.00 to 4.00 representing Fair Value or normal territory -8.00 to -4.00 representing Moderately Oversold territory -12.00 to -8.00 representing Significantly Oversold territory

As you can see from the above image, the TiG Value Chart indicator uses a colour coded visual display to highlight its bars as they move into extreme territory. Crossing into the Significantly Overbought zone (8 to 12) turns the bars red for a sell signal, and crossing in to the Significantly Oversold zone (-8 to -12) turns the bars blue for a buy signal. The colours can be adjusted to your preference within the input settings for the indicator, and the colour options available will depend on your particular trading platform.

It should be noted that this indicator is particularly well suited to non-trending markets, and also that it is a popular choice of trading tool amongst short term traders, particularly those who engage in Scalping techniques (dipping in and out of the market quickly). It is highly compatible with the TiG Linear Regression Indicator, which also favours very similar circumstances. For longer term trading the value chart indicator can also be a useful tool for scaling in or out of positions, in order to maximise opportunities for profit.
