3. Technical Analysis
John J. Murphy
• “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets”
• The study of market action through the use of chats for the
purpose of forecasting future price trends
Martin J. Pring
• “Technical Analysis Explained”
• The art to identify a trend reversal at a relatively early stage
and ride on that trend until the weight of the evidence shows
or proves that the trend has reversed
John D. Magee and Roberts D. Edwards
• “Technical Analysis of Stocks Trends”
• The science of recording in graphic form the actual history
of trading and then deducing from that pictured history the
probable future trend
8. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
MACD Line
Difference between EMA12 and EMA26
EMA12 – EMA26
Signal Line (Trigger Line)
Smoothing the difference with EMA9
EMA(EMA12 – EMA26), 9 period
MACD Histogram
Difference between MACD Line and Signal Line
MACD Line – Signal Line
10. MACD Line shows the detail differences between
two lines (indicators)
MACD Line shows the
“Detail Movement”
between EMA12 (Short
MA) and EMA 26 (Long
MA)
Is Short MA getting
farther to Long MA or it is
getting closer
When does Short MA is
about to Cross Long MA
from Below or Above
11. Signal Line shows the relative direction of MACD
Line
Signal Line informs us
the direction of MACD
Line by looking the line
from 9 periods ago
(Smoothing)
If MACD Line is above
Signal Line, then MACD
Line is Rising and vice
versa
Signal Line is a “Base”
to tell the relative
direction of MACD Line
12. MACD Histogram shows the more detail
differences between two lines (indicators)
MACD Histogram
represents detail
differences between
MACD Line and Signal
Line
MACD Histogram also
informs us when MACD
Line and Signal is about
to Cross to each other
When MACD Line is
about to change its
Direction
23. First ...
How do you tell a Rise or Fall ?
By comparing Current Data with Previous Data
If Current Data is Above Previous Data
A Rise
If Current Data is Below Previous Data
A Fall
Remember principles of :
Black and White Candlestick
Solid and Hollow Candlestick
Short and Long MA
Price and MA
Chinkou Span of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo
24. Previous Data Line
Current Data versus Yesterday’s Current Data
Current Data versus 2 Previous Days
Current Data versus 3 Previous Days
...
Current Data versus 26 Previous Days (Chikou Span’s
Priciple)
26. Why not Averaging with Moving Average (or
Smoothing) ?
Previous Data Line is a different approach
Easier to be “Understood” by common people
Should be logically accepted
As well as Averaging or Smoothing
Still, Smoothing is also acceptable and can be apply
the same way with Previous Data Line
However, in this presentation, Previous Data Line is the
only method used
37. The Modified Indicators (My Style)
MACD Line
Difference MA60 – MA200
Signal Line and Histogram
Histogram Difference MA60 – MA200
Slope
Slope of MA200
Kairi
Distance Close to MA200
39. Difference MA60 – MA200
Why MA60 and MA200
MA60 : 3 Months Average or Quarterly Average or
Quarter on Quarter (QoQ)
MA200 : A Year Average or Yearly Average or Year on
Year (YoY)
The Formula
Main Line : MA60 – MA200
40. Copying MACD Line Style (With Signal Line)
MACD Signal Line :
Smoothing or Averaging The MACD Line with 9 periods of
average (9 Candles – Moving Average)
But this time, I prefer to use Previous Data. So the
Lines are :
Difference MA60 – MA200 Line
The Previous Data Line of “Difference MA60 – MA200”
The Previous Data use 3 periods ago
1 or 2 periods are still make so much Whipsaw
46. Histogram
Difference between MACD Line and Signal Line
Formula : MACD Line – Signal Line
Histogram in the previous slide :
Difference between “Difference MA60 – MA200” and
Previous Data Line of “Difference MA60 – MA200”
64. Signal Line & Slope Concept
Slope of Moving Average
MA50
MA100
MA200
Slope of Middle Band of :
Bollinger Band
Donchian Channel
Keltner Band
Slope of Tenkan Sen
66. Slope of Middle of Bollinger Band (AFL)
_SECTION_BEGIN("Slope of Middle of Bollinger
Band");
MidBoll = MA(C,20);
Previous = Ref(MidBoll ,-1);
SignalLine = MidBoll - Previous ;
Plot(SignalLine, "Slope of Middle of Bollinger Band",
colorBlack, styleLine);
Plot(0, "Nol", colorBlack, styleDashed|
styleNoLabel);
_N(Title = StrFormat("- Slope of Middle of Bollinger
Band -"));
_SECTION_END();
67. Histogram Concept (with Signal Line)
Stochastic Oscillator + Histogram between %K and
%D
RSI + Smoothing RSI or Previous Data Line of RSI +
Histogram between RSI and Additional Line
Apply as well as William’s %R
Percentage of Bollinger Band (%B)
