MACD is one of the most commonly used technical indicators for market price and it is relatively simple to apply and understand. It uses 2 sets of moving averages to determine trend characteristics. Momentum is determined by subtracting the longer moving average from the shorter moving average and plotting the results, which may be above or below zero, as a line. |

One of the topics I will be addressing in an upcoming segment of my ongoing FX Tutorials is combining multiple time frames looking for 'confluence' areas where the technical picture becomes very clear. The charts below of CHF/JPY outline a very basic, yet effective, example of several resistance an support areas coming together at the same time that may well result in a solid short |

Candlestick charts were derived over 200 years ago by the Japanese, who used them for the purpose of doing analysis of the rice markets. The technique evolved over time into what is now the candlestick technique used in Japan and indeed by millions of technical traders around the world. They are visually more attractive than standard bar and line charts and they make for a clearer market reading, once understood. |

What are they? Bollinger Bands are a pair of trading bands representing an upper and lower trading range for a particular market price. A market price or currency pair is expected to trade within this upper and lower limit as each band or line represents the predictable range on either side of the moving average. The lines are plotted at standard deviation levels above and below the moving average. This trading band technique was introduced by John Bollinger in the 1980s. |

Candlestick charts provide a more visual presentation of price action than traditional bar charts and have become the chart of choice for many technical analysts. One candlestick itself can provide important information about the strength or weakness of the market during a given day or other time period, depending where the close is relative to the open. However, a candlestick pattern usually takes several candlesticks to produce chart formations that give the best signals. |

Price is the primary tool of technical analysis because it reflects every factor affecting the value of a market. However, price doesn't produce just trend lines and basic chart patterns. Analysts have expanded their research far beyond those basic elements to develop a number of technical indicators that provide more insight into price action than what you see on the surface. You may be able to see that a market is |

Technical analysis can be rather simple or quite complex, depending on the capabilities you have to manipulate the market data. The "primary" trading tools include basic chart patterns, such as triangles, double tops and bottoms, head-and-shoulders, flags, pennants and, of course, one of the most basic, yet most powerful, trading tools, the trend line. As long as you have the relevant price data, these basic tools do not even require a computer although a computer does make analysis much faster and easier. |

In last week's article I discussed the way I determine the trend prior to entering trades in the FX market. While the article was rudimentary in terms of its approach, it drove the point home. Naturally, the drawback to that one-dimensional approach is that it only dealt with determining the trend on one time frame. While this style/approach may suit some traders, I find it more efficient to look at multiple time frames as a way to potentially increase the odds of success on a trade. |
