trade-ideas signal types description in english

When the signal server registers a new high, he is looking for the last day, when the price was higher, than at the moment. He informs the day, When did it happen, and the high of that day, as a resistance level. For a new low, the server also marks the last time, when the price was below the current, and reports this value as a support level. note: it is a very simple model for identifying support and resistance levels. Some signals, listed below, use more sophisticated algorithms to find these parameters.

These warnings are related to Position in Range filters. Use these filters, to make other types of signals sensitive to highs and lows.

Other options, associated with these signals., listed below.

Usually, there is no more than one signal for each stock per minute.. Nevertheless, if the stock price changes by more points, than expected, new signals will appear more often. Threshold value (cutoff point) for each symbol is automatically determined based on volatility.

Day traders often prefer to use signals without filters to view a large set of stocks. This can be observed in a separate window., whether the market as a whole is moving up or down. Other traders prefer a smaller set of more interesting signals, to do this, select these signals with filters. Some create two or more signal windows, with and without filters.

They can be filtered the same way, like normal highs and lows. For example, install the filter on 1, if you want to see only those highs, which are higher than yesterday, or similar minimums. Details

You can filter these signals in much the same way, like other highs and lows, with one difference. We're starting to count down the number of days, beginning with Today closing. In this way, 1 day means, that the maximum was greater than the highest value today, but not higher, than yesterday's high. If the same print appears before the end of the trading day, it will produce a signal with the value 0 days. Details

note: These warnings check and report every print. We do not rule out, or adjust in some other way, wrong prints. These signals are usually used to signal an upcoming event., so they arrive as quickly as possible, without waiting for additional confirmation.

Our special filter eliminates the smallest vibrations. Other filter options for these signals are listed below.

These patterns are based on daily highs and lows. Almost all highs and lows occur exclusively during stock exchange business hours., so these signals almost never appear after the close. We never send these signals before the open or in the first three minutes after the open. The last part of such a pattern should be fixed., at least, three minutes after opening.

Such warnings are in demand by the heads of the cash operations department. (money managers), who often have to tell investors, when the stock price moves against them too much. These signals are clearer, than many others. The manager usually monitors several types of signals, but informs clients about easy-to-understand events.

Usually these signals appear once at each price level.. Nevertheless, if the signal was based on an incorrect quote (bad quote), the server will stop at the last valid value.

The server does not report a signal, until the share price changes by at least 3%. The user can set even higher requirements, as described below.

These signals are slightly different from volatility signals., because they use a more traditional formula to calculate volatility. For most of our signals, we use intraday volume weighted volatility over two weeks., on such a scale, Where is “1” equal to the average change over a 15 minute period. These signals are based on annual data. Recent data weighs heavily on the calculation, than the old, and the scale division value is one day.

Special thanks to our friends at Bright Trading for, that they shared this formula with us!

These signals are one of the variations of the theory of five-day highs or 52-week lows.. They report, when stock moves from a 5-day high to a 6-day high, or from 6- by 7 day, etc.

These messages and filters for them are similar to new high signals / low price. Actually, they are a subset of the standard daily high signals / low. Only they report the number of days when changing highs or lows.

We give these signals only for securities with an average trading volume of less than 3 million shares per day. If the trading volume is usually less than 1 million a day, to receive a signal, a bid or ask size of more than 6000 Shares. In all other cases, the minimum bid or ask size must be equal to 10000 Shares. You can also use additional filters, so that this signal does not appear too often. For example, if the best bid for a stock is 20000 shares at a price $10,00, and a new bid appears on 100 shares on $10.01, 20000 shares will still remain in the order book. When 100 shares will be sold, the best bid will return to the previous value (20000 shares on $10,00), and there will be no new signal.

If we report a large bid or offer, and then the size increases again, usually a new warning is sent. The message in this case is flagged: “(Size increasing)”.

If there is a large bid or ask, and the price changes, but the size remains large enough, we can send an additional signal. The message in this case will be “(Price rising)” or “(Price dropping)”. This message applies only to large orders.. For example, if we see a bid on 20000 shares on $10,00, we give a signal. If the best bid changes to 100 shares on $10,05, we do not report anything. If the best bid changes again, on 15000 shares on $10,02, there will be a second warning “(Price rising)”.

If the big bid falls, or the big ask grows, this is a reason for an even stronger signal, since there is a possibility “head fake”: someone is trying to deceive you, showing large size in one direction, gradually buying or selling in another. Anyway, we are sending a signal.

Signals for bid and ask are completely different types of signals. Bid size or price does not affect the Large ask size signal. The size or ask price does not affect the Large bid size signal.

More options for using these signals are described below.

These signals will not appear every time quotes cross.. Intersections often happen in groups. The server will filter them and report the first intersection in each group. It will only send new signals if, if the size of the intersection grows, or if normal operation has resumed, and then the intersection happened again. With some promotions, especially those with the highest trading volume, it happens all the time. Signal Server can filter out most, or all warnings for these promotions.

In some cases, the server will add the words “up” or “down”. The difference is based on the primary market, Under Assumption, that he doesn't react so quickly, how ECN. So if the bid on ECN is higher, than an offer of a specialist or a security for NYSE, many traders will find, that the price will go up soon.

note: These signals are only meant to indicate those stocks, on which something interesting happens. The intersection of quotes is often a leading indicator of other events.. These signals are not intended to be arbitrated. The intersection of quotes usually lasts a second or two, and disappears before, than most traders will take advantage of it.

More options for using these signals are listed below.

For additional ways to work with the spread, don't forget to study min and max spread filters.

These signals usually signal a temporary condition., when the volatility of a stock suddenly increases compared to normal. This is often caused by traders, who know, that the stock price will change quickly, therefore, they prefer to perform the operation as soon as possible over attempts to do it cheaper. Short term traders, With extensive experience, may decide to join this action, anticipating a rapid change in the share price. Traders, long-term traders, can also mark this state for themselves, because it is a leading indicator of promising stocks in terms of activity.

The signal is strongest, when this event occurs several times in a short period of time. When it happens, the server combines several such cases into one signal. The message will look like, for example, how “Trading above 4 times”, that is, the signal includes 4 various prints, which were higher, what is the best offer. If just said “Trading above”, but not specified the number of times, then this signal refers to a single print.

More options for using these signals are listed below.

If a print appears below the specialist's bid on the NYSE, then the Trading below specialist signal appears. If the print is higher than the specialist's offer, then the Trading above specialist signal appears.

More options for using these signals are listed below.

The basic pattern looks like this. There are a lot of stocks on the supply side. (The exact minimum offer size varies for different types of promotions). The price of the best offer is exactly one cent higher than the price of the last deal. Selling price falls, and this is followed by a large offer. Prices must go down the same way at least one more time, so that we send the first signal. Everytime, when the price moves one step down, we are sending a new warning. We use our own filters, to delete “noises” (insignificant changes) and show only verified signals.

This pattern is based on short selling rules.. For most stocks, especially with a low volume of transactions, most traders cannot short, if the price of the last deal was lower than the previous one (down-tick). You can wait for the up-tick. Another possibility – wait for the short offer. In the latter case, you will want to reduce your price as much and as soon as possible, everytime, when the price of the last print goes down. The Offer stepping down signal is aimed at identifying this pattern..

These signals always compare the price of the last print with the price of the last open.. At the premarket, this refers to the opening of the previous trading session., Otherwise, – to open today.

More options for using these signals are listed below.

Before and during the trading session, this refers to yesterday's closing price. After the end of the working day – by the close of the current day. note: this value may change during postmarket. The closing price can be determined immediately after the end of the trading session, but the official value will be available later.

More options for using these signals are listed below.

Signals, listed in this section, require statistical confirmation before appearing. They filter out insignificant fluctuations, but work with a slight delay. This analysis includes price, Time & Volume. If the price continues to fluctuate around the open or close price, the signal may never appear. As soon as the price movement takes a certain direction, the exact time of the appearance of the corresponding signal depends on the volume of transactions.

Statistical analysis does not require, so that each print crosses the opening or closing prices, for the signal to appear. Analysis excludes insignificant prints, which do not correspond to the trend line. Maybe, although unlikely, so that the last print does not confirm the analysis as a whole.

Server announces a breakout (breakout) and shows a green arrow, if the given share grows in comparison with shares from the same group. The server notifies about the breakdown (breakdown) and denotes a red arrow, that the stock is falling. These are relative indicators. Possible situation, when all stocks in a given sector are rising today. If one share of them grows faster, a breakout message will be reported for this stock. If another share in this sector also rises, but much slower than the others, a breakout signal will be received.

The server determines, which stocks should be attributed to one sector by experienced (empirical) By. It compares the intraday movement of each stock to the same movement in many different indices.. He notes, which index more accurately predicts the movement of a stock, and records additional statistical information about this relationship. Often this is a sector index (industries) stock, but it could be a broader market index. There is no suitable index for some stocks. The server never sends these signals for such promotions.

During the day, the server monitors various ETF and similar indicators. This gives a more timely description of the stock., than directly observing the index, especially near the opening. The server compares the changes in the price of each stock with the expected changes, based on each indicator, Real-time. He sends out a warning every time, when the actual price differs too much from the forecast. Indicators are recalculated after each print, and do not require any confirmation.

These signals are not available for indexes. Opening price data for the index is not reliable. Use the following signals instead, which are similar, but use the previous closure, not today's opening.

Server does not report a breakout, until the actual price of the share exceeds the expected price by at least 1 %. Similarly, breakout is not reported, until the actual price drops by at least 1 % below expected. User can set higher parameters, as described below.

The most obvious benefit to using the previous close price is, that these signals work at the premarket. Previous signals are received only after the open print.

More importantly,, these two types of signals operate differently with a gap. If you think, that the gap occurred as a result of the emergence of news after the market close, and the market has already stabilized, use the previous set of signals. They are updated after opening, and only track new changes. If you think, that the gap is significant and will continue to affect the stock price throughout the day, use these signals. This approach attracts those traders, who believe, that the beginning of the day is too unpredictable, or that the discovery is managed by specialists.

Сигналы Sector breakout/breakdown (from open/close) scan many possible sectors and indices, and choose one of them to match each stock. They base this choice on, how well prices match during a typical trading day. Market divergence signals match each stock to QQQQ. This index is often used for comparison, because it is calculated from multiple stocks, and maintains high liquidity even before and after the trading session. Market divergence signals also use a slightly different algorithm., than previous signals, to compare stocks. This algorithm pays more attention to the previous close and minimizes the impact of open prices. As with the previous types of signals, movement of some stocks usually does not coincide with QQQQ, we do not provide signals for them.

If you make a lot of trades before opening or during other periods of low trading volume, these signals fit perfectly. But they are also useful for traders., which trade only at the opening and during other periods, when there is a large volume. For example, take an open order enveloping strategy. In this strategy, traders assume, what specialist manages the opening print, and they try to use it to their advantage. They start work shortly before opening., using yesterday's close and current futures prices, to predict the possible opening price for a stock. They assume, that the actual opening price will often differ from the expected value, but, probably, will strive for it. After initial bids have been placed, use market divergence signals, to track your positions. You will receive a warning, if the price moves in the opposite direction, moving against you. While the price is moving in a given direction, no signals will be received.

This signal works best for stocks with medium to high trading volume.. For low-activity stocks, a few large prints can add more volume., than all other prints.

If you are looking for consolidation over a longer period of time, cm. consolidation filters below. They use a more traditional algorithm for consolidation, and work with a daily schedule.

This signal is associated with current volume filters.

More options, related to this signal, Listed below.

This signal can appear multiple times. If during the day the stock is traded for a total of 3 1/2 times the average volume, it will do 3 Signal. The first signal will happen, when the trading volume exceeds the average for the first time. The second signal will come, when the trading volume exceeds the average value by two times. An additional signal is produced every time, when the current volume exceeds the average value by an integer number of times.

This signal is similar to the High relative volume signal, described above. High relative volume is much more accurate, because. it compares recent volume values ​​today with only normal volume for that time of day. This signal is better for spotting stocks., whose trading volume is very different from the usual values.

More options, associated with these signals, Listed below.

The speed at which prints appear should be at least 5 times higher than usual, to produce this signal. Roughly speaking, if during 3 minutes the same number of prints appears, how much usually appears for 15 minutes, then we send a signal. We also provide additional signals, if the speed continues to increase.

We always compare the current print speed with historical data for the stock.. This rate differs for different stocks., and during the day. This data is more consistent over regular hours of operation., than on before- and the postmarket. The appearance of these signals on the pre- and postmarket it is possible, although it happens very rarely.

These signals are aimed at detecting stocks, by which the speed of prints just started to increase; we will report it as soon as possible. However, if we reported a signal, Unlikely, that we will send the second one for the same promotion. If the speed drops, And then it will grow again later during the day, we will show a new signal. And if the speed increases, then more signals will come. If the speed remains constant, no matter, how unusual she is, you will receive a signal only at the very beginning of this trend. If you want to view promotions, the number of prints for which was more than usual during the all day long, see Strong volume signal or Min Current Volume filter.

You can filter these signals according to the increase in the speed of appearance of prints compared to the usual one., as described below.

The description of each signal includes the size of the change.. Roughly speaking, this number shows, how much the price has changed in the last minute. However, the signal will arrive, as soon as the value meets the minimum criteria, which can take less than one minute. Often the price continues to move rapidly in the same direction, thus, the final size will be large, than the meaning in the message.

This signal appears only if, when the price makes it clear, statistically confirmed movement in one direction. He not appears every time, when the price of the last print changes compared to the price on the screen. Otherwise, random deviations would cause the signal to appear too often.

Between confirmed (confirmed) and there is no direct connection with the faster version of these signals. They are not subgroups of each other.. It is similar to displaying trend lines on charts at different time intervals.. The trend may be evident on a chart with a smaller scale, but over a longer period of time it can change direction several times. And vice versa, the trend may not be strong enough on a relatively small interval, but will look definitely over a longer period of time. The confirmed version of these signals tracks multiple time intervals., with different limit values (cutoffs) for everybody.

Since these signals require statistical trend confirmation, the last print may differ from it. Often these signals can be useful for identifying the tops and bottoms of patterns.. During especially turbulent trading, you can see the Running up signal, followed almost immediately by a Running down signal This is not a bug. In this case schedule VWAP will show the trend, going up, and then down, with one or more peaks in the middle.

The signal description will include more information:

• Running up – The share price is skyrocketing.
• Running up briskly – The share price rises even more rapidly.
• Running down – The share price is falling rapidly.
• Running down briskly – The share price is falling even more rapidly.

More options, associated with these signals, Listed below.

How other types of running signals, these signals indicate stocks, which change more quickly and more consistently, than usual. The rate is determined by intraday volatility over the past two weeks. In general, all three pairs of signals aim at the same. In practice, we need different algorithms to operate at different time scales..

To some extent intermediate signals are more closely related to volume confirmed signals., than with faster running signals.

• Intermediate and volume confirmed versions smooth the data before interpreting the trend. This prevents any unusual print from triggering the signal, no matter how uncharacteristic he is. The compensation for this additional filtering is, which may take longer, to report a valid trend change. It's like watching a moving average, not the current price.
• Intermediate and volume confirmed signals look at different time scales. The price does not have to rise consistently throughout the entire week., to produce a volume confirmed running up signal, or grow constantly during 25 minutes, to trigger an intermediate running up signal. The price may rise for a shorter time, but it should rise more quickly, for the signal to appear. Speed ​​combination required (in cents per second) and sequence, to generate these signals; a greater value of one indicator compensates for the insufficiency of another.
• Defined Filters, associated with intermediate and volume confirmed running signals, more accurate, than corresponding filters for faster running signals. As faster signals signal price movement, as soon as it happened, they cannot point out exactly, how big will this change be. After waiting a little longer, the server can provide a more accurate description of the trend.

In some respects, intermediate signals are more like fast running signals., than signals volume confirmed running.

• intermediate and running signals are very time sensitive and pay relatively little attention to volume. The timescale for the volume confirmed signal changes, when the volume is low. Volume confirmed signals may be triggered more slowly, or not work at all, if the volume is too small. Others will always fire at roughly the same rate., disregarding the volume.
• intermediate and running signals pay great attention to the best bids / offers (inside market). Before assessing the strength of price movement, these signals subtract the size of the spread from the size of this swing. Prints for deals above and below the best prices are not taken into account when determining the trend. We use the inside market as confirmation, which is weaker, but faster than volume confirmation.

Intermediate running signals use the addition model, how much the stock price usually changes over a given period of time, based on its volatility. It's like models, used by other running signals. The stock price must change at least twice the expected value in a given time period, or there will be no signal. User can set higher requirements, as described below.

About 30 % of these signals represent stocks, whose price changes by less than 2.4 times the expected value. About 40 % – for shares, trading in 2.6 times more than expected, 50 % – when changing in 2.9 once, 60 % – in 3.2 Times, 70 % – in 3.7 Times, 90 % – in 6.6 once.

These numbers may change from one day to the next, depending on whether, what is happening in the market that day. However, if you set the minimum to the value 6.6, you will see only approximately 10 % signals, who would receive, without setting a value for the filter. You will see only the most active promotions. If you set the filter on the value 3.2, then you get 40 % possible warnings.

Moving Average 200 days – the traditional way to define, where the stock is heading in the long run. This technical level is a core element for institutional traders..

Moving Averages 50 And 20 days are commonly used by many traders.

VWAP is often used by foundations (institutions) to determine the category of your traders. VWAP can also be used to set prices for institutional bids.

These signals are popular due to algorithmic trading.. One of the most important indicators for “Algorithmic” traders is, how far from VWAP the stock is trading. Other traders use our signals, to see, when algorithmic trading strategies try to hide a large flow of orders.

These signals will typically appear only once at each whole percentage level.. However, if the price moves in one direction, and then again in another, signals will signal return movement. To narrow down these signals even more, use special signal filters, as described below.

This signal informs about the size of the gap. The gap is defined as today's open minus yesterday's close. This value is positive and is called “Gap Up” (gap up) , if the stock price has risen between the close and the open. The value will be negative, and will be called “Gap Down” (gap down), if the price has dropped accordingly. If the closing and opening prices are the same, then there is no gap, and no signal will come. Notice: this is the generally accepted definition of a gap, but not the only one.

This signal also informs about the continuation of the trend. (continuation). If there is a gap in one direction, and then immediately bid in the other direction, no continuation. However, if a gap occurs, and further trading continues in this direction, this is called a continuation of the trend. The size of the continuation is determined by the, how much the price has changed in the direction of the gap, after opening, but before changing direction.

This signal occurs immediately, as soon as the share price crosses yesterday's closing price even by a fraction of a cent. Usually this signal does not appear more than once a day.. Possibly more frequent occurrence, if a bad print has been corrected.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Signal “false gap up retracement” arises, when the price continues to move in a direction above the opening price with a significant difference the first time. A false gap down retracement signal appears in the same situation when the price moves below the opening price. To receive a signal, a sufficiently significant gap is required between the close and the open., and the price change should partially reduce it. If the price continues to move from the closing price in the direction of the gap, or if the price returns to the closing price, or if the gap is insignificant, There will be no signal.

Usually, for each stock, no more than one such signal is received per day.. However, if the exchange reports the correction of a bad print, maybe, more will come.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Consolidation does not always end with a channel breakout signal. If the share price changes slightly compared to the consolidation range, the software can just increase the channel size. In this case, another consolidation signal will be received, but it will be marked as “decaying”. Alternatively, the stock price can change so much compared to the channel values, that the stock will be out of the consolidation stage. If it's slow enough, then no signals will be received. These signals only occur when, when the stock price changes a lot.

These signals require a specific combination of volume and price movement to confirm.. It happens in the same way, how we report consolidations. Channel top and bottom are based on the price of most prints, but some prints will be out of the channel. Consequently, the signal does not appear every time there is a single print outside the channel. The signal only communicates then, when there is a recognizable price pattern, Time & Volume.

In past, Terms “channel breakout” And “channel breakdown” were present in the description of running up / down (confirmed) alerts. Now these signals are assigned to a separate group., this way the user can enable or disable them regardless of running alerts.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Very roughly speaking, these signals are on the same time scale, as a 1 minute chart, and their confirmed (confirmed) Options – like a 15 minute. These signals pay less attention to volume and rate of price change., and more attention – order book and the exact position of support and resistance, than confirmed (confirmed) versions. They are more versatile, than the confirmed version.

Volume confirmed versions of these signals require an upward or downward pattern, confirmed by volume. These signals do not require corresponding running up / down signals.. They use similar analysis methods., but they fire much faster, than running up / down signals.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

These signals describe the same general pattern., as channel breakout signals (channel breakout and channel breakdown alerts). Nevertheless, these signals use more traditional methods of analysis, and it is easier to distinguish them on the graph. Primarily, each of these signals works at a specific time interval, and channel breakout signals (channel breakout/breakdown alerts) automatically track wider time frames. Besides, they pay more attention to time and hardly take into account volume. Finally, these signals do not require confirmation, a separate print can trigger a signal.

To see these signals clearly, set your chart to show candles and set exactly 41 period. The pattern will be visible on other charts as well., but this way it will be the easiest to notice.

Our definition of consolidation excludes empty candles. If there have been no deals with the stock for some time, this is not a consolidation pattern. Each candle in a consolidation must contain at least one print.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Support and resistance levels are not exact methods. The price of most interesting stocks fluctuates within a few cents even on the smallest time intervals. We use suitable filter combinations to determine the optimal value for these levels., and several prints will always stand out from the general row. We use similar algorithms to determine the actual intersection of these levels., ie. a separate print can go beyond them, without triggering a signal. For the signal to work, a substantial amount is needed.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Support and resistance levels are especially sensitive to random price fluctuations (noise). By definition, These are the values, near which the share price is for a long time, ie. it is not constantly equal to this value, but makes small fluctuations at this level. If we just draw a line on the chart in the middle of this range, and we will report each time the value of a separate print goes beyond these boundaries, too many signals will appear.

These signals are similar to a one-minute quote chart., while their confirmed variations are similar to observing the 15 minute chart.

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

The signal description may contain additional information.:

• At the ask – The deal price was equal to the current ask.
• At the bid – The deal price was equal to the current bid.
• Trading above – Price is higher than the current ask.
• Trading below – Price below the current bid.
• Trading between – Price between bid and ask.

The description also includes the name of the exchange, where did the deal take place, if such information is available.

note: earlier this signal was called “block print” .

More options for using these signals are mentioned below.

Broadening bottom signal informs, that the price touched the bottom of the pattern, and then went up again. Broadening top signal means, that the price touched the upper border and turned down.

These signals are part of a series of signals, based on local highs and lows. Compared to most other signals, they are long-term and based on more complex graphical patterns. It takes more time, to form these patterns, but they also last longer.

Analysis for these signals begins with a standard volume confirmation procedure.. This allows you to see, what trends are significant, and which prints should be skipped. More information is required to determine the maximum or minimum, than just a price trend. There should be a significant change in volume below the high price, to set a starting point. Then a significant increase in volume must occur near or at the high price point to determine the high, And, finally, lower prices, to confirm the reversal. The minimums are also determined. After the formation of a series of turning points, a pattern is obtained, described by these signals.

Each signal description includes a list of high and low values., which formed the pattern. This includes our usual algorithm for removing out-of-pattern prints.. The extreme values ​​of the price are shown, accompanied by an unusual jump in volume. In some cases, this price is the average of several prints., if one print does not adequately describe the reversal point.

The description also includes an indication of the start and end times of the pattern.. As a result of alignment and confirmation, time is not accurate, as prices. This is especially evident with stocks. NASDAQ. Often a significant pivot point occurs between the close of one day and the open of another.. The signal will try to determine the exact time of the reversal, but, as activity gradually fades in the evening and increases in the morning, it may not be possible. The signal will then indicate the most accurate approximate time between open and close.. For stocks on the NYSE, these signals often indicate the opening time as a starting point..

We only report the first and last highs or lows of this pattern.. Supposed, that the stock price will move in a certain direction before and after that, to determine the pivot point. This additional period is not included..

Each of these signals can use volume filters within the pattern.. As in determining the duration, we only include volume between the first high or low, and the last. We do not include volume values ​​before and after pivot points.. See below for a more detailed description of this filter.

We use the terms “triangle bottoms” And “triangle tops”, because they are widespread in the literature. Undoubtedly, triangles are an important pattern, however, in practice, it is difficult to determine the exact direction of the price after its end. We denote the triangle as “bottom” and highlight in green, if the first item is at the bottom, and the first line goes up. In the most common cases, when the pattern contains exactly 5 turning points, the price will go up after it ends.

After observing the triangular pattern from 5 points, we are more likely to see lower highs and higher lows. These points make such a model more pronounced.. Each of these points means, that the stock price has changed direction. In these cases, we continue to use the first paragraph, Not the last one, to determine the type of pattern. We use the starting point, because the primary trend is the strongest in the triangle. The last point is characterized by a smaller and weaker trend..

Analyzing and alerting about triangular patterns is similar to analyzing expanding (broadening) Models, described above.

If the last turning point was a low, we call the pattern “rectangle bottom” and denote it in green, to show, that the price went up. If the last turning point was the high, we call the pattern “rectangle top” and highlight in red, to show, that the price is moving down. Everytime, when a new turning point appears, direction of travel changes.

Rectangles Are Like Consolidation Patterns (consolidation patterns), because they show shares too, channel traders. Nevertheless, we use completely different algorithms to build these two types of channels. The consolidation algorithm depends on the volatility of the stock, comparing the actual size of the price movement with the expected. Consolidation pattern is getting stronger, if the stock price just stays inside the channel. The rectangular pattern is more dependent on the price values ​​at its borders. It is supported by price movements up and down throughout the range of values ​​in the rectangle.. The rectangle may not be a consolidation pattern, if he is too tall. Consolidation may not be a rectangle, if the boundaries of the top and bottom are not clearly defined.

We use the channel, used in the consolidation algorithm, to create channel breakout signals (channel breakout alerts). This algorithm is convenient for finding a specific price level of interest. Rectangle algorithm, vice versa, best used to signal that, that the channel has been confirmed, and the price moves back inside the channel.

Analyzing and alerting rectangular patterns is similar to analyzing expanding (broadening) Models, described above.

This signal can also show triples, etc.. figures. In these cases,, the signal description includes the number of minima. For such patterns, we do not require, so that the same change in time or volume passes between the individual minima, as in double (double bottom). Enough, so that the first and last minima are far enough from each other.

Analyzing and alerting about double bottom patterns is similar to analyzing expanding (broadening) Models, described above.

The inverted head and shoulders pattern is characterized by 5 successive pivot points. First point – minimum, the last point is also a minimum and is approximately at the same price level, as the first. Second point – maximum. The fourth point is also the maximum, having approximately the same meaning. The middle point is the minimum, and he should be below everyone else. Our definition “about the same price level” depends on the size of the pattern and the volatility of the stock.

There are many common variations of this model.. Some people only use the first and last items., ie. shoulders, to set the resistance level. We use a green icon to represent this shape., as many use it as a reversal model (reversal).

Inverted Head and Shoulders Analysis and Alerts are similar to the Broadening Analysis. (broadening) Models, described above.

These signals are based solely on traditional candlestick analysis.. They only value price and time, and does not filter bad prints. Most of our signals take into account volume, spread and volatility. This tradeoff makes such signals a little easier to understand., than most other signals, but gives more “Noise”.

These signals can perform the function “trailing stop”. They report, when the stock price returns in one direction or another. These signals are best for monitoring a stock portfolio., signaling price movement against you.

Trailing stop – this is a function of many trading systems, helping to fix profits. The software will track your every position. Everytime, when your long position goes up, the program adapts the stop loss accordingly. If prices fall again to the value specified in the order, stop loss will be triggered, and your shares will be automatically sold. The program constantly compares the current price for long positions with the highest price, after the purchase of shares. Short positions work the same way, only the other way around.

Trade-Ideas do not own information, when did you buy or sell shares, therefore we cannot replace stop loss. Nevertheless, we can approximate your stop losses. For this we allow, that you always buy stock, when they grow, and sell, when they fall.

Signals “trailing stop” are similar to signals “pullbacks from highs and lows” And “Fibonacci retracements”. They all warn, when a stock moves in one direction, then turns around and moves far enough in the opposite. Signals “trailing stop” differ in that, that they operate on a smaller time frame and usually appear more frequently. For signals “pullbacks from highs and lows” the pivot point must be the new high or low of the day. For “Fibonacci retracements”, the reversal point is the level of support or resistance, reinforced by volume change. Signals “trailing stop”, like their real counterparts, allow even a single print to serve as a pivot point.

The first trailing stop signal appears, when the share price changes by at least 0,5% compared to the last high or low. Everytime, when the price changes in the same direction for another 0,25%, a new signal appears.

There are three most common uses for these signals.. If you follow your stocks very closely, you can use these messages the same way, how would a normal trailing stop be used. You can receive stop loss signals in one window, when your long positions fall, and in another window – with the growth of short positions.

For more general information, you can put signals, signaling rise and fall, in one window, and observe all positions at once. It looks more like standard ticker (stock ticker). The difference is, that most tickers highlight stocks in green or red, based on that, they rise or fall throughout the day. These signals will tell you, how the stock price changes over a shorter period of time, and you can customize them, to adapt the timeline.

If you are using regular “trailing stops” in their practice, these signals will help you determine the optimal stop values. Often, when you use trailing stop, it works too fast. Traditional Instruments “backtesting” not accurate enough, to replace it. If the growing candle is too high, Does it mean that, that the price went straight up? Or did she move up and down in the middle of the candle? Use these signals in conjunction with data from past quotes, to see, how often the stock price fluctuates in short time intervals.

See below for more options on how to use these signals.

These signals use the same volatility indicators, like the whole system as a whole. One “bar” means the size of the price change between divisions on a 15 minute chart.

This signal will appear for the first time., when the stock price changes by a whole bar from the last high or low. Additional signals will come every time you change to 1/2 bar in the same direction.

Some traders prefer % version of these signals, because the calculations are easier in this case; you can see exactly the cause of the warning. In most cases, we recommend using the version of these signals, volatility-based. Let our servers do your homework; let us decide, what should be the magnitude of the change, to attract interest. Then you will get the correct value for each stock., and these values ​​will be updated every night. Find the stock you are interested in in our stock screener, if you want to know the exact value of the volatility bar.

Each of these signals includes a period of temporary suspension of operations. (blackout), equal to one minute. For example, if you requested 15 minute breakout information (15 minute breakout), the server will start by looking for the maximum price during the first 15 minutes after opening. If the price has exceeded the resistance level in the 16th minute, the 15 minute breakout will not be reported for today. This is what sets those stocks apart, which just move up, from shares, which set the resistance level, and then rise higher.

Many trading strategies prescribe to follow the stock immediately after the opening., but do not make deals, until the market calms down. Please wait, until the price takes a certain direction. Use the size of the first candle, to determine, what should be the price change for this.

These signals automate the strategy, described above. Instead of closely watching one stock, let our software find on the market that, what is really relevant. Scans, Like this one, check all promotions in different time frames. Let's say, for example, you don't like to start trading before 10.00. The prevalence of bullish or bearish sentiment will become apparent at this point., if you follow 30 minute opening range breakouts и breakdowns. Besides the selection of individual stocks, these signals can be used to get a feel for the entire market. Rate the strength or weakness of the market by the breakout ratio (breakouts) and breakdowns (breakdowns).

These are powerful signals, because the stock price has to go through two forms of support or resistance. The breakout signal appears only then, when the stock price exceeds the maximum value of the first candle, first time in a day. This means reaching new highs at the same time., how the stock price crosses the resistance level, described above. Similarly, breakdown signal means the establishment of new daily lows when crossing the support level.

Notice: “1 minute” does not mean one minute after the call to the beginning of the trading session. Each promotion has its own schedule. We start counting from the first print of the day. For NYSE stocks, we ignore any prints, until a specialist opens the market.

The most common interpretation of such a signal is a reversal (reversal). The symbols and textual descriptions of these signals are based on this interpretation.. When the price falls below the level, a green icon appears, with an inscription “Buy”. When the price rises, the signal is indicated in red with an inscription “Sell”. Attention: Trading Strategies, using Fibonacci levels, usually have additional criteria for making a deal. These signals advise the trader to pay closer attention, because. the price is currently at an interesting level. Don't buy or sell, based only on these signals. This is a very popular technical indicator., various ways of trading using Fibonacci numbers are described in a large number of books, Courses, and on websites.

These are some of the most difficult signals to understand.. The pattern contains three main points. Although the principle of the analysis of these items is similar to the analysis of other signals, each item is verified using three different levels of confirmation.

• The leftmost point requires strict confirmation by the corresponding change in volume.. This algorithm is similar to the methods, used in geometry signals, such as rectangles and triangles. In this way, we make sure, that we have sufficient information, to interpret the resulting figure as meaningful. note, that some volume change, Confirming, that this is a significant price level, serving as a starting point (pivot) figures, must occur before the pattern is formed. The signal description starts at this extreme point and does not include additional volume., accounted for for confirmation.
• The midpoint requires the same volume confirmation, as well as support and resistance lines for support and resistance signals. Since we have established the exact starting point of the pattern, it is easier to determine the second point. In practice, this gives us a lot of freedom of action., especially when tracking multiple pairs of support and resistance lines at the same time.
• Least confirmation is required for the destination. No prior confirmation is required at all; single print, crossing the Fibonacci level, can cause these signals to appear. Nevertheless, we investigate the trend after the signal is reported. If the trend follows the initial print, analysis completed. If most prints do not cross the set border, we reset the signal and look for the price value again, crossing this level. This is similar to the algorithms, applied in the accelerated versions of our crossed support and resistance alerts.

Each of these signals can use a volume filter within the pattern.. Like signal description, this filter only includes volume from the beginning of the shape. We do not show volume changes until this point., although it is taken into account in the analysis. See below for a more detailed description of this filter.

For each stock, we perform short-term and long-term linear regression analysis. We use long-term regression to form a channel and predict price movement, but short-term – to calculate the current pulse. When the price starts moving from one side of the channel to the other, we give a signal.

These signals are different from the Precision Trading System signals. We recommend using them to find promising stocks., and then independently analyze the graphs, To make sure, that they meet your requirements. Each type of signals is based on information from one graph, but, maybe, you decide to check other charts additionally, to get confirmation.

You can use a filter to work with these signals, based on information about the amount of free space in the channel. Cm. below details.

The last candlestick on the pattern “hammer” has a short body, Long Bottom Shadow, while the top is absent. The appearance of such a candle should correspond to a downtrend. We highlight this signal in green., because most traders consider this a reversal pattern.

Description “NR7-2” denotes a figure, where the last two candles show the NR7 pattern. Accordingly, the “NR7-3”, “NR7-4”, etc. The information is also available in the form of a filter.

The NR7 pattern shows, when the stock price experiences a short-term decrease in volatility. In this sense, it looks like a triangle shape., but with more emphasis on volatility, and less emphasis on a specific shape or direction. And in that, and in another case it is allowed, that volatility is like a spring. When you squeeze it, she will sharply straighten back. The longer and harder you squeeze, the stronger the response will be.

The NR7 pattern does not predict, On its own, in which direction the price will move. It can be used to identify those stocks, where strong price changes are possible.

User must select at least one signal type in each signal window. Adding signal types requires more data. Filters make the request more specific, so less information is displayed in the window. If you want to see every share, satisfying certain filters, select the Heartbeat signal and the desired filters. This will allow you to use Trade-Ideas as a traditional stock screener. (Stock Filter).
