Using Technical Indicators

Bill Williams Indicators

Due to having a good understanding in the psychology of market Bill Williams developed his own method of trading which is based on meanwhile using a rational approach to the analysis of the market and the irrational logic of chaos. To understand the overall structure of the market B. Williams advised to analyze the market through the following five dimensions: Fractal (phase space) The driving force (energy phase) Acceleration / deceleration (power phase) Zone ( combination of strength / power phase) Balance Line And to understand and analyzing these dimensions there have been established a number of indicators.

Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator

Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) technical indicator signals the acceleration or deceleration of the current market driving force. The indicator is fluctuating around a median 0.00 (zero) level which corresponds to a relative THESE INSTRUMENTS GREATLY ENLARGE THE balance of the market driving force with the acceleration. Positive values signal a growing POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES AND bullish trend, while negative values may be qualified as a bearish trend development. The DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY indicator changes its direction before any actual trend reversals take place in the market ACQUIRING NEW PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS therefore it serves as an early warning sign of probable trend direction changes.

AC bar chart is the difference between the value of 5/34 of the driving force bar chart and 5-period simple moving average, taken from that bar chart. AO = SMA(median price, 5)-SMA(median price, 34) AC = AO-SMA(AO, 5)

Alligator Indicator

Alligator is an indicator designed to signal a trend absence, formation and direction. Bill Williams saw the alligator's behavior as an allegory of the market's one: the resting phase is turning into the price-hunting as GREATLY the alligator awakes so that to come back to sleep after the THESE INSTRUMENTS ENLARGE THE feeding is over. The longer the alligator is sleeping the hungrier itAND gets and the stronger the POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES market move will be. DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY The indicator consists of 13-, 8- and 5-period smoothed moving averages shifted into the ACQUIRING NEW PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS future by 8, 5 and 3 bars respectively which are colored blue, red and green representing the DUE TO THE NATURE OF EACH ASSET PRICING, "GOLDEN alligators jaw, teeth and lips. INSTRUMENTS" - Awhen REAL FOR TECHNICAL The Alligator is resting the DISCOVERY three averages are twisted together progressing in a narrow range. The more distant the averages PERIODICALLY become, the sooner the price move will happen. AND SYSTEM TRADERS, PROVIDE

Awesome Oscillator (AO)

Awesome Oscillator (AO) is a momentum indicator reflecting the precise changes in the market driving force which helps to identify the trends strength up to the points of formation and reversal. There are three main signals which may be seen: ENLARGE THESE INSTRUMENTS GREATLY THE Saucer three consecutive columns above the nought line the first two of which must be colored red, while the POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES AND third one is colored green and higher than the previous (second) one. DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY Nought line crossing - the histogram crosses the naught line in an upward direction changing its values from ACQUIRING NEW PROPERTIES CHARACTERISTICS negative to that of positive ones. In this AND situation we have a Buy signal. DUE TO THE NATURE OF EACH ASSET PRICING, "GOLDEN Two pikes - the indicator displays a Buy signal when the figure is formed by two consecutive pikes both of INSTRUMENTS" - naught A REAL DISCOVERY FORpike TECHNICAL which are below the line and the later-formed is closer to the zero level than the earlier-formed one. The Sell signal would be given by the reverse formation. AND SYSTEM TRADERS, PERIODICALLY PROVIDE

Fractals Indicator

Fractals is an indicator highlighting the charts local heights and lows where the price movement had stopped and reversed. These reversal points are called respectively Highs and Lows. THESE INSTRUMENTS GREATLY ENLARGE THE

Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Oscillator:

POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES AND Fractals are formed around a group of five consecutive bars the first two of which are DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY successively reaching higher (or diving deeper) and the last two descending lower (or growing ACQUIRING NEW PROPERTIES AND (or CHARACTERISTICS higher) with the middle one being the highest the lowest) result in the group accordingly.

Gator Oscillator (GO):

The Gator Oscillator (GO) is a supplement to the Alligator indicator and is used alongside with it showing the absolute degree of convergence/divergence of the Alligator's three SMAs pointing at the Alligator's periods of ENLARGE slumber and awakeness THESE INSTRUMENTS GREATLY THE (i.e. trending and non-trending market phases). POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES AND

Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Oscillator:

DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY The Alligator's activity periods are divided into the following four: ACQUIRING PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS Gator awakesNEW - the bars on different sides of the naught line are colored differently. DUE TO THE NATURE OF EACH ASSET PRICING, Gator eats - green bars on both sides of the naught line. "GOLDEN INSTRUMENTS" - A red REAL DISCOVERY FOR TECHNICAL Gator fills out - single bar during the "eating" phase. Gator sleeps - the bars on both sidesPERIODICALLY are red AND SYSTEM TRADERS, PROVIDE RELIABLE SIGNALS FOR OPENING A RISK-BASED BALANCED POSITIONS.

Market Facilitation Index (MFI) Indicator

The MFI is designed to indicate how much of a willingness to move the price is there in the market. Green bar - both MFI and volume are up. Increasing trading activity means market movement acceleration. We may join the trend. THESE INSTRUMENTS GREATLY ENLARGE THE Blue bar MFI is up, volume is down. The movement is continuing although the volume has dropped. POSSIBILITIES OF CREATING TRADING STRATEGIES AND The trend will soon be reversing. DIVERSIFICATIONS OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER BY Pink bar - MFI is down, volume is up. The slowing down movement while volume is raising may ACQUIRING NEW PROPERTIES CHARACTERISTICS indicate a possible break through, oftenAND a U-turn. DUE TObar THE NATURE OF EACH PRICING, "GOLDEN Brown - both MFI and volume areASSET down. The market is no longer interested in the current INSTRUMENTS" - A for REAL FOR TECHNICAL direction and is looking signs DISCOVERY of a future development.
