What is Technical Analysis? Defining an Uptrend

What is Technical Analysis? Defining an Uptrend http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html Samuel Morton, a forex and futures trader explains technical analysis. All technical analysis is a methodology of studying or analysing price data to speculate or forecast what the future price is going to be and hopefully profit from that forecast. This entails studying market direction and the behaviour of price when it moves up, down or sideways. It also involves studying patterns and price indicators that we put in our graph. Other areas that we need to discuss are zones of support and resistance levels which we will be explaining in the coming videos. An uptrend is defined by a series of higher highs and higher lows.

Downtrends and Range Trading Markets

Downtrends and Range Trading Markets http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html In this video I want to spend some time looking at price when it moves downwards and to the side (sideways moving market). Similar in workings to an uptrend, with a downtrend we have a step-in-motion but this time going down with a series of price pushes and pullbacks. Here we are also looking at highs and lows of a trend bunt one again they reverse to those of an uptrend. The main characteristic of a downtrend is lower highs and lower lows. When a market is moving sideways we refer to it as a ranging market. Characteristics of a range trading markets are two areas between a market where price is stuck between.

How to Know End of a Trend

Samuel explains the characteristics of an end of a trend, what happens when a downtrend or uptrend come to an end and when a range trading market comes to an end. The characteristics of a downtrend are lower lows and lower highs and that of an uptrend are higher highs and higher lowers. When those characteristics are no longer evident that could be a hint that the trend may be coming to an end.

Introduction to Japanese Candlesticks

Samuel's introduction to Japanese Candlesticks. This is the start of a few videos which will look at Japanese Candlesticks and how we can use them to benefit us as we trade financial markets. In this video we briefly review candlestick charts and how they work. Each candlestick has an opening and closing price; the opening price will be the price of the financial instrument when the candlestick opened.

On my candlesticks if the closing price was lower than the opening price the bar will show in red (price has depreciated over the course of a candle). If the closing price was higher than the opening price the bar will show in green (price has appreciated over the duration of the candle)

Candlesticks: Engulfing Candles

Candlesticks: Engulfing Candles http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! Explaining Candlesticks: Engulfing Candles. In the previous video I have explained what candlesticks are; in this video we will get into more detail and the kind of candlesticks that can form in markets; namely engulfing candles and pinbars. As demonstrated earlier a Japanese Candlestick always has an opening and closing price and the difference between the opening and closing prices creates a bar.

What is an engulfing candle? If we were to have a bearish candle i.e. a candle which closes lower than the opening price. An engulfing candle would be a candle that is bigger in size and engulfs or shadows the candle previous. If we had a bearish engulfing we could have a bullish candle and a bigger candle that engulfs the previous one on the downside. So what can engulfing candles tell us and why are they important?

What are Pin Bars?

What are Pin Bars? http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! Let's now look at a pin bar; again we have an opening and closing price which forms a body. In his book Pring on chart price patterns, Martin Pring refers to a candlestick formation which he referred to as the Pinnochio Bar or pin bar for short. The characteristic of a pinbar is one large wick in one particular direction. Pin bars tells us that price has moved in a certain direction because of changes in buying or selling power.

Strategies for Range Trading Markets

Strategies for Range Trading Markets. http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! What are range bound markets? In this video we look at how pinbars and engulfing patterns can help us trading ranging markets when price is moving in a sideways direction within an area of resistance and support in a market. With all ranging markets we have areas of support and resistance. A market is ranging when a market keeps making the same highs and lows for a number of times.

How Traders use Moving Averages

How Traders use Moving Averages http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! In this video we look at moving averages and how they can help us to identify trends in markets. Most of us know what is a moving average. A moving average can help us when trading in a couple of ways; firstly a single moving average on our graph can show us the prevailing bias in the market; irrespective if this is bullish or bearish. Traders also use the so called moving average crossover; this is done by taking two moving averages set at different periods one lower than the other. Say one at 25 and another at 35. The shorter moving average is considered the faster moving average while the moving average set at 35 is referred to as the slower moving average.

Support and Resistance

Support and Resistance levels. http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! In this educational video we are going to review support and resistance. I mention support and resistance when price ranges which produces resistance and support levels however we get support and resistance throughout the market. Support and resistance areas are also created when price reverses in markets.

Dynamic Support and Resistance with Moving Averages

Dynamic Support and Resistance with Moving Averages http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/course/technical-analysis.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! Sammy Morton explains dynamic support and resistance which is in a way putting the principles of support and resistance and moving averages together. On my screen I have two moving averages; a simple moving average 25 which is the blue moving average, and a simple moving average of 50 which is the green moving average. The way dynamic support and resistance works is that a moving average acts as a resistance or support area in the market so when price hits the moving average the dynamic support or resistance can push price the other way. So a moving average with a bullish bias would act as support for the price and a moving average with a bearish bias would act as resistance.
