Q

StochRSI calculation

A

StochRSI = (RSI - Lowest Low RSI) / (Highest High RSI - Lowest Low RSI)

17
Q

CCI

A

Commodity Channel Index

18
Q

CCI calculation

A
  • CCI = (Typical Price - 20-period SMA of TP) / (.015 x Mean Deviation)
  • Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close)/3
  • Constant = .015
19
Q

CCI mean deviation

A

There are four steps to calculating the Mean Deviation. First, subtract the most recent 20-period average of the typical price from each period’s typical price. Second, take the absolute values of these numbers. Third, sum the absolute values. Fourth, divide by the total number of periods (20)

20
Q

CCI use

A

(CCI) can be used as either a coincident or leading indicator

21
Q

ATR calculation

A
  • Current ATR = [(Prior ATR x 13) + Current TR] / 14
  • Multiply the previous 14-day ATR by 13
  • Add the most recent day’s TR value
  • Divide the total by 14
22
Q

ATR methods

A
  • Method 1: Current High less the current Low
  • Method 2: Current High less the previous Close (absolute value)
  • Method 3: Current Low less the previous Close (absolute value)
23
Q

Pivot Points for 1, 5, 10 and 15 minute charts

A

Use the prior day’s high, low and close

24
Q

Pivot Points for 30 and 60 minute charts

A

Use the prior week’s high, low and close

25
Q

Pivot Points for daily charts

A

Use the prior month’s data

26
Q

Standard Pivot Points

A
  • Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close)/3
  • Support 1 (S1) = (P x 2) - High
  • Support 2 (S2) = P - (High - Low)
  • Resistance 1 (R1) = (P x 2) - Low
  • Resistance 2 (R2) = P + (High - Low)
27
Q

Fibonacci Pivot Points

A
  • Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close)/3
  • Support 1 (S1) = P - {.382 * (High - Low)}
  • Support 2 (S2) = P - {.618 * (High - Low)}
  • Support 3 (S3) = P - {1 * (High - Low)}
  • Resistance 1 (R1) = P + {.382 * (High - Low)}
  • Resistance 2 (R2) = P + {.618 * (High - Low)}
  • Resistance 3 (R3) = P + {1 * (High - Low)}
28
Q

Demark Pivot Points

A
  • If Close
  • If Close > Open, then X = (2 x High) + Low + Close
  • If Close = Open, then X = High + Low + (2 x Close)
  • Pivot Point (P) = X/4
  • Support 1 (S1) = X/2 - High
  • Resistance 1 (R1) = X/2 - Low
29
Q

Arms Index - TRIN - Trading Index

A

(advances / declines) / (advancing volume / declining volume)

30
Q

(advances / declines) / (advancing volume / declining volume)

A
  • Advances: number of stocks in the index that closed up on the day
  • Declines: number of stocks in the index that closed down on the day
  • Advancing Volume: total volume of advancing stocks
  • Declining Volume: total volume of declining stocks
31
Q

TRIN - Low readings, below 1, show relative strength in the AD Volume Ratio. High readings, above 1, show relative weakness in the AD Volume Ratio

A

In general, strong market advances are accompanied by relatively low TRIN readings because up-volume overwhelms down-volume to produce a relative high AD Volume Ratio

32
Q

TRIN - Overbought / Oversold

A

Depends on the scale

33
Q

SPDR

A
  • Spider / Spiders
  • Managed by SSgA
  • Trademark of S&P
34
Q

McClellan Oscillator

A

The McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, which is the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues

35
Q

McClellan Oscillator Calculation

A
  • Ratio Adjusted Net Advances (RANA): (Advances - Declines)/(Advances + Declines)
  • McClellan Oscillator: 19-day EMA of RANA - 39-day EMA of RANA
  • 19-day EMA* = (Current Day RANA - Prior Day EMA) * .10 + Prior Day EMA)
  • 39-day EMA* = (Current Day RANA - Prior Day EMA) * .05 + Prior Day EMA)
  • * The first EMA calculation is a simple average
36
Q

Inflationary Relationships

A
  • A POSITIVE relationship between bonds and stocks Bonds usually change direction ahead of stocks
  • An INVERSE relationship between bonds and commodities
  • An INVERSE relationship between the US Dollar and commodities
37
Q

Key intermarket relationships during a deflationary environment

A
  • An INVERSE relationship between bonds and stocks
  • An INVERSE relationship between commodities and bonds
  • A POSITIVE relationship between stocks and commodities
  • An INVERSE relationship between the US Dollar and commodities
38
Q

Staples/Discretionary Ratio

A

The consumer discretionary sector tends to outperform when the economy is buoyant and growing and underperforms when the economy is struggling or contracting
