<h1>Time Series Moving Average</h1>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>Time Series Moving Averages are very different from other types of Moving Averages.</p>
|
|
<p>The calculation is derived from linear regression forecasts instead of actual data values.</p>
|
|
<p>For that reason, the Time Series Moving Average can be much greater than or less than the underlying data if the linear regression trend has been increasing or decreasing.</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|

<p>The Time Series Moving Average can be used like any other Moving Average, to obtain a smoother representation of the underlying data.</p>

<h1>Triangular Moving Average</h1>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>The Triangular Moving Average is similar to the Simple Moving Average in that it averages the underlying data over a specified number of previous values.</p>
|
|
<p>However, the Triangular Moving Average differs in that it is calculated and averaged n-times. The actual formula is TMA = (SMA1 + SMA2 + SMA3 + SMA4 + ... SMAn) / n.</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|

<p>The Triangular Moving Average can be used like any other Moving Average, to obtain a smoother representation of the underlying data. It is important to note that the Triangular Moving Average is typically much smoother than other moving averages.</p>

<h1>Weighted Moving Average</h1>

<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>The Weighted Moving Average is a type of Moving Average that assigns more weight to the most recent data points. The formula is P0 + αP1 + α2P2 + α3P3 + ⋅⋅⋅ + αnPn + ⋅⋅⋅</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>

<p>The Weighted Moving Average can be used like any other Moving Average, to obtain a smoother representation of the underlying data. It is thought that the Weighted Moving Average provides a better representation of market volatility than the Simple and Exponential Moving Averages.</p>

<h1>Standard Deviation</h1>

<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>Standard deviation is a measure of variability used in statistics and probability theory. Standard Deviation is used in finance to show how much volatility exists in the underlying data.</p>
|
|
<p>Low values indicate that the security's price is very close to the mean, whereas high values indicate that the price is more volatile than normal.</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|
|
<p>Major highs and lows often accompany extreme volatility. High values of standard deviations indicate that the price or indicator is more volatile than normal.</p>

<p>Money Flow Index is an oscillator indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. The calculation is based on a percentage of up and down days over an n-period sliding window.</p>
|
|
<p>An "up" market day is where the close price of a security closes higher than the previous close and a "down" day is where the close price closes lower than the previous close.</p>

<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder, which measures the velocity and magnitude of price movements within a security.</p>
|

<p>RSI is computed as the ratio of higher closes to lower closes within an n-period sliding window.</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|
|
<p>The indicator is most often used with a 14-period setting. Values greater than 70 may indicate that the market is overbought, while values less than 30 may indicate that the market is oversold.</p>

<p>The Chaikin Money Flow oscillator is a momentum indicator that identifies areas of buying and selling in the market by observing price in relation to volume.

|
This indicator is based upon Chaikin Accumulation/Distribution, which is based upon the premise that if a stock closes above its midpoint [(high+low)/2] for the day then there was accumulation.
|
|
Conversely, if it closes below its midpoint, then there was distribution.</p>

<h1>Directional Movement System</h1>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Overview</div>
|
|
<p>The Welles Wilder Directional Movement System is composed of ADX, DI+ and DI-. The indicators guage how much the market is trending, either up or down.</p>
|
|
<p>The higher the ADX line, the more the market is trending and the more suitable it becomes for a trend-following system.</p>
|
|
<p>DI+ represents a measure of uptrend strength and DI- represents a measure of downtrend strength.</p>
|
|
<p>Detailed information about this indicator can be found in Welles Wilder's book, "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|
|
<p>A buy signal is given when DI+ crosses over DI-, a sell signal is given when DI- crosses over DI+.</p>

<p>The Fractal Chaos Oscillator can be used to examine these patterns.</p>

<h1>Random Walk Index</h1>

<p>The random walk index (RWI) is a technical indicator that attempts to determine if a stock's price movement is random or nature or a result of a statistically significant trend.</p>
|
|
<div class="scxIndicatorHelp">Interpretation</div>
|
|
<p>The random walk index attempts to determine when the market is in a strong uptrend or downtrend by measuring price ranges over N and how it differs from what would be expected by a random walk (randomly going up or down).
|
|
The greater the range suggests a stronger trend. The RWI states that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and the further prices stray from a straight line, implies the market is choppy and random in nature.</p>
