ForexGen Analytical Methods

Mathematical approximation, also known as filtration is used in analytical methods. The main object of the technical analysis is certainly the share price figures. The direction, the strength, and the strength of the market are determined through technical analysis indicator.

Technical analysis indicators are divided into specific and non-specific. Equation and algorithm are often used as the forms of quantifying technical analysis indicators. Other indicators, like head and shoulders, trend lines, support and resistance appear to be patterns.

Certain functions represented by an indicator are taken from some time periods at the set time "window". There are six categories that indicators are divided into:

Trend indicators

Trend describes the direction in which the price moves during some period of time. Trend can move up, down and sideways. (E.g. Trend lines, Moving Averages)

Strength indicators

The data of market opinion intensity is described by market strength. It is carried out through analyzing market participants' positions. (E.g. Volume)

Volatility indicators

This indicator shows daily price movements despite their trend direction. So, prices changes are dependent on the volatility trend changes. (E.g. Bollinger Bands)

Cycle indicators

Support/resistance indicators

This indicator shows price showings at which market makes a repeated rise or fall and then returns to normal conditions. (E.g. Trend Lines)

An extreme price figures along with low momentum shows the end of the trend. Rising momentum and stable prices show possible inversion of the price direction. (E.g. Stochastic, MACD, RSI)
