  2. TRENDLINES • Technical analysis is built on the assumption that prices trend. • TLs are an important tool in technical analysis for both trend identification and confirmation. • A TL is a straight line connects two or more price points. • And then extends into the future to act as a line of support or resistance. • Many of the principles applicable to support and resistance levels can be applied to TL’s as well. • An uptrend line has a positive slope and is formed by connecting two or more low points. • The second low must be higher than the first for the line to have a positive slope. • Up TL act as support and indicate that net-demand (demand less supply) is increasing even as the price rises. • A rising price combined with increasing demand is very bullish and shows a strong buyer determination. • As long as prices remain above the trend line, the uptrend is considered solid and intact. • A break below the up TL indicates that net-demand has weakened and a change in trend could be imminent. • A downtrend line has a negative slope and is formed by connecting two or more high points. • The second high must be lower than the first for the line to have a negative slope. • Downtrend lines act as resistance, and indicate that net-supply (supply less demand) is increasing despite fall • A declining price combined with increasing supply is very bearish and shows the strong resolve of the sellers. • As long as prices remain below the downtrend line, the downtrend is considered solid and intact. • A break above the down TL indicates that net-supply is decreasing and a change of trend could be imminent. • The more points used to draw the trend line, the more validity attached to the support or resistance levels. • Sometimes the lows or highs just don't match up, and it is best not to force the issue. • Two point confirm and the third point confirms the validity.

  3. TRENDLINES • As the steepness of a trend line increases, the validity of the support or resistance level decreases. • A steep trend line results from a sharp advance (or decline) over a brief period of time. • The angle of a TL created from such sharp moves is unlikely to offer a meaningful support or resistance level. • Trading a trendline break has been found difficult. • Trend lines can offer great insight, but if used improperly, they can also produce false signals. • Other items - such as horizontal support and resistance levels or peak-and-trough analysis. • While trend lines are very popular, they are merely one tool for establishing, analyzing, and confirming a trend. • TL should not be the final arbiter, but should serve as a warning that a change in trend may be imminent. • By using TL breaks for warnings, traders can pay closer attention to other signals for a potential change.

  15. MOVING AVERAGE • Moving averages are one of the most popular and easy to use tools available. • They offer a trade off between sensitivity and reliability. The less • Shorter moving averages will be more sensitive and generate more signals. • There will also be an increase in the number of false signals and whipsaws. • Longer moving averages will move slower and generate fewer • signals. These signals will likely prove more reliable, but they also may come late. • Each trader should experiment with different moving average lengths and types to examine the trade-off • Moving averages smooth out a data series and make it easier to identify the direction of the trend. • Because past price data is used to form MA, they are considered lagging, or trend following, indicators. • Moving averages will not predict a change in trend, but rather follow behind the current trend. • Therefore, they are best suited for trend identification and trend following purposes, not for prediction. • Because moving averages follow the trend, they work best when a security is trending and not sideways. • Hence first identify securities that display some trending characteristics before attempting to use MA’s. • An uptrend is established when a security forms a series of higher highs and higher lows. • A downtrend is established when a security forms a series of lower lows and lower highs. • Or an uptrend is started when the upper boundary of the range is broken and vice versa.

  16. USES • There are many uses for moving averages, mainly Trend identification/confirmation • Support and Resistance level identification/confirmation • Trading Systems • Trend Identification/Confirmation • Disadvantages of using moving averages need to be weighed against the disadvantages. • Moving averages are trend following, or lagging, indicators that will always be a step behind. • This is not necessarily a bad thing though. After all, the trend is your friend and it is best to trade • Markets, stocks and securities spend a great deal of time in trading ranges, which render moving averages ineffective. • Once in a trend, moving averages will keep you in, but also give late signals. • Don't expect to get out at the top and in at the bottom using moving averages. • As with most tools of technical analysis, moving averages should not be used on their own, but in conjunction • Using moving averages to confirm other indicators and analysis can greatly enhance technical analysis.
