This intraday strategy looks to short crude oil when a five-minute candle signals a downside breakout. The signal requires both candle range and volume to exceed three times their respective averages over a 276-bar lookback, with the candle closing below its…
TMAGi combines the spacing among three moving averages with the difference between the ADX system’s positive and negative directional indicators. It multiplies total moving-average separation by that directional difference, then plots the result with a short…
The article presents six discretionary rules for short-term trading: exit when a closing price falls below its five-day moving average, use a two-day moving average to judge the near-term trend, wait for preset entry conditions, and follow sell signals…
This document describes two technical indicators built around moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and trend phases inspired by an adoption-cycle concept. The first classifies price conditions into colored states such as bearish, rebound, opportunity, trend…
