Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional (Constance Brown, 1999)

-

  • Moving average, MACD, RSI and Stochastics are all very outdated now.
  • Extremely short horizon trading is more vulnerable to the differences between real-time trade decisions and postmortem evaluations.
  • RSI
    • Bearish divergence occurs when the market forms a new price high on close that is not confirmed by the indicator.
    • It is not the only formula for developing positive reversal signals to reinforce and confirm the trend, but it is the only formula that tracks the ranges.
  • Question before applying the indicator
    1. Does the indicator work well for any market in any time horizon?
    2. Is the indicator as useful in a rising market as it is in a declining market?
    3. Does the signal work equally well in times of low and high volatility?
    4. How much time after any signal does the market take to react?
    5. Is this a signal that has merit as a trading signal?
    6. Why does an indicator work and how do you increase the probability of its accuracy?
  • Gann wheel calculation
    • 45° = (√(x) - 0.25)²
    • 90° = (√(x) - 0.5)²
    • 120° = (√(x) - 0.67)²
    • 180° = (√(x) - 1)²
    • 240° = (√(x) - 1.37)²
    • 270° = (√(x) - 1.5)²
    • 315° = (√(x) - 1.75)²
    • 360° = (√(x) - 2)²
  • Elliott wave
    1. Wave 2 may not break below the origin of wave 1.
    2. Wave 3 cannot be the shortest.
    3. Wave 4 cannot overlap the end of termination of wave 1.
  • Elliott wave building blocks
    1. A simple 5-wave pattern
    2. An extending 5-wave pattern
    3. Truncated 5th wave or failure
    4. Ending diagonal triangle (wedge)
    5. Leading diagonal triangle (wedge)
    6. Zigzag
    7. Double Zigzag
    8. Flat
    9. Expanded flat
    10. Contracting triangle
    11. Expanding triangle
    12. Double threes
    13. Triple threes
  • Stoller Average Range Channels (STARC) Bands
  • No formula is the holy grail
  • Creating vanishing point in 2D plotting.

GeneraliSation The The Meta Model generaliSations make explicit the way we summarise and categorise our experiences. Generalisations are basically the rules we use to manage life. There are usually exceptions or counter examples to rules. These rules and categories create self-imposed or company wide limitations. Examining these limitations is a powerful problem solving strategy. By generalising one or a few experiences, we can figure out what to do in a different experience. We learn to drive a particular car, and then use that experience to drive a new one. If we weren’t able to generalise, we would have to learn how to drive all over again. Problem Solving Examining categories and generalisations is an excellent creative problem solving strategy. What are the experiences that come to mind when you think of money for instance? We typically use an emotionally charged experience to stand in for all our experiences in a category. We generalise and categorise all kinds ...

The Inner Hero Pattern Beat the drum and let the poets speak. This is the day of purification for those who Are already mature and initiated into what love is. No need to wait until we die! There’s more to want here than money And being famous and bites of roasted meat. --Rumi Life can be lived in many ways. You can make it about making money or winning at all costs, or pleasing other people, or perhaps never standing out. Or you can live your life as a great journey of consciousness, one filled with many challenges and surprises, one that makes a positive contribution to the world. I want to talk here a bit about these different paths, emphasising that the Self-Relations approaches of Generative Self and Generative Trance are especially tools for supporting the latter path.
