Indicators
These indicators will provide detailed analysis technically where it will involve
mathematical calculation and scientific formula calculation. Currently there are
approximately more than 30 indicator options available as listed in the next table.

Figure 52. Stocks: Technical Indicators

No Indicators Name Description

1. Bolinger Band Consists of a pair of values put as an envelope around a data


field. To measure the values you should take the changing
average of the data for a definite period and subtract or add
the definite number of standard deflections for the same period
from the moving average.
2. Exponential Moving A type of moving average that is similar to a simple moving
Average (EMAs) 1 average, except that more weight is given to the latest data. This
type of moving average reacts faster to recent price changes
than a simple moving average. That is why it is also known as
Exponentially weighted moving average. In this case, the 12-
day EMAs.
3. Exponential Moving Similar to Exponential Moving Average 1 except it is the 26-day
Average (EMAs) 2 EMAs.
4. Exponential Moving Similar to Exponential Moving Average 1.

No Indicators Name Description

indicator of overbought or oversold conditions, visual


representations of price trend, and an indicator of price
breakouts.
7. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo The word Ichimoku can be translated to mean a glance or
one look. Kinko translates into equilibrium: or balance, and
Hyo is the Japanese word for chart. Thus, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo
simply means a glance at an equilibrium chart. Ichimoku charts
attempt to identify the probably direction of price and help the
trader to determine the most suitable time to enter and/or exit
the market. This indicator was developed so that a trader can
gauge an asset's trend, momentum and support and resistance
points without the need for any other technical indicator.
8. Parabolic A technical analysis strategy that uses trailing stops and a reverse
method called stop-and-reversal SAR to determine good exit
and entry points.
9. Price Channel The price action contained between two parallel lines in a trend.
In a price channel, the lower line is the trendline drawn on pivot
lows, and the upper line is the channel line drawn on pivot highs.
The two lines of channel represent support and resistance.
10. Simple Moving Average 1 A simple, or arithmetic, moving average that is calculated by
adding the closing price for a number of time periods and then
dividing this total by the same number of time periods. In other
words, this is the average stock price over a certain period of
time.
11. Simple Moving Average 2 A simple, or arithmetic, moving average that is calculated by
adding the closing price of the security for a number of time
periods and then dividing this total by the number of time
periods. In other words, this is the average stock price over a
certain period of time.
12. Simple Moving Average 3 A simple, or arithmetic, moving average that is calculated by
adding the closing price of the security for a number of time
periods and then dividing this total by the number of time
periods. In other words, this is the average stock price over a
certain period of time.
13. Simple Moving Average 4 A simple, or arithmetic, moving average that is calculated by
adding the closing price of the security for a number of time
periods and then dividing this total by the number of time
periods. In other words, this is the average stock price over a
certain period of time.
14. Accumulation/Distribution Developed by Marc Chaikin, the Accumulation/Distribution
indicator attempts to assess the cumulative flow of money into
and out of a trading instrument. The basic premise has always
been that volume (or money flow) may be a leading indicator to
price action.
15. Average Directional Index A momentum indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. The ADX is
(ADX) constructed from two other Wilders indicators: the Positive
Directional indicator (+DI) and the Negative Directional Indicator

Commercial in Confidence 39
M2U Online Stocks Live Quotes User Guide

No Indicators Name Description

(-DI). The (+DI) and (-DI) indicators are commonly referred to as


the Directional Movement Index. Combining the +/-DI and
applying a Wilders() smoothing filter results in the final ADX value
16. Average True Range A measure of a trading instruments volatility. It measures the
degree of price movement, not the direction or duration of the
price movement. The True Range is first calculated using the
greatest of the following: Difference between the current high
and the current low; Difference between the previous closing
price and the current high; Difference between the previous
closing price and the current low.
17. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) The CMF is based on the assumption that the nearer the close
price is to the high price of the daily range, the more
accumulation has taken place. Alternatively, the nearer the
close price is to the low price of the daily range, the more
distribution has taken place.
18. Commodity Channel Index Developed by Donald Lambert, the Commodity Channel Index
(CCI) (CCI) measures the variation of a securitys price from its
statistical mean. High values show that prices are unusually high
compared to average prices whereas low values indicate that
prices are unusually low. Contrary to its name, the CCI can be
used effectively on any type of trading instrument, not just
commodities.
19. Elliot Wave Oscillator Theory named after Ralph Nelson Elliot, who concluded that the
movement of the stock market could be predicted by observing
and identifying a repetitive pattern of waves. Sometimes it is also
known as the Elliot Wave Theory.
20. Force Index This index created by Alexander Elder calculates the Bulls Power
at every rise and fall. The Force Index links the main parts of
market data: price trend and decreases, the volumes of
transactions.
21. Guppy Multiple Moving An indicator used in technical analysis to identify changing
Average trends. The technique consists of combining two groups of
moving averages with differing time periods.
22. Momentum The momentum indicator is one of the simplest equations
available in modern technical analysis. Momentum is a measure
of price change velocity calculated as the difference between
the current bars price and the price of a selected number of
previous bars. Basically, it represents the rate of change of the
tradings instruments price over those specified time periods.
23. Money Flow Index The Money Flow Index (MFI) is similar to the Relative Strength
Index (RSI) in calculation and interpretation except that volume is
used to weigh the average price values before summing the
positive and negative money flows.

24. Moving Average The primary method of interpreting the MACD is with moving
Convergence/Divergence average crossovers. When the shorter-term 12-period exponential
moving average (EMA) crosses over the longer-term 26-period

EMA a buy signal is generated; this is seen on the chart below


with the Green Arrow(s) and Vice Versa for the Sell Signal as
shown on the chart with Red Arrow(s).
25. On Balance Volume A method used in technical analysis to detect momentum, the
calculation of which relates volume to price change. OBV
provides a running total of volume and shows whether this
volume is flowing in or out of a given security.
26. Price Volume Trend A cumulative total of volume adjusted to the relative changes in
the instruments prices. It is similar in nature to the On Balance
Volume (OBV) indicator. However, unlike the OBV the PVT adds
or substracts only a portion of volume from the cumulative total in
relation to the percentage of change in prices whereas the OBV
adds all volume when prices close higher and substracts all
volume when prices close lower.
27. Rate of Change (ROC) The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator calculates how prices have
changed within a specified number of time periods by
calculating the difference between current bars price and the
price of a selected numbers of previous bar. The difference is
calculated in Points or as a Percentage.
28. Relative Strength Index The RSI compares a trading instruments magnitude of recent
(RSI) gains against its magnitude of recent losses and quantifies this
information into a value that ranges between 0 and 100.
29. Smoothed Relative Smoothed Relative Strength Index is the same as Relative
Strength Index Strength Index indicator just that it will smooth the line in a given
period of time.
30. Stochastic The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator designed to
show the relation of the current close price relative to the
high/low range over a given number of periods using a scale of
0-100.
31. Volume The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an
entire market during a given period of time. It is simply the
amount of shares that trades hands from sellers to buyers as a
measure of activity. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares
from a seller, then the volume for that period increases by 100
shares based on that transaction.
32. William%Range A momentum oscillator used to measure overbought and
oversold levels. Its very similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except
that the %R is plotted upside-down on a negative scale from 0 to
-100 and has no internal smoothing
