Simple Moving Average (SMA)
A simple moving average is a trading indicator that takes the average of multiple price points over time to create a single trend line. This trend line can show whether the value of an asset is increasing (bullish) or decreasing (bearish).
The SMA indicator can help you identify the direction of a price trend without interference from short-term price fluctuations. The moving average is taken over a specified time period. For example, a 12-day SMA will take daily price points (closing price on each day) and use them to get an overall average. This is a lagging indicator because the data is based on past price trends. However, you can use support and resistance levels to determine what future price patterns might be.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
An exponential moving average is a trading indicator that creates an average trend based on multiple daily price points but, unlike an SMA, more weight is given to recent data points.
An EMA indicator provides the same information as a simple moving average. That means you use multiple price points over a set number of days to generate an average. This average price determines whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
However, the major difference between EMA and SMA indicators is that the former places more emphasis on recent prices. In other words, price data that’s closer to the end of the analysis period has more impact on the equation because it’s deemed more relevant for the current state of the instrument.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence is… the comparison between two moving averages in order to establish whether the prices are converging (moving closer together) or diverging (moving apart).
A MACD indicator is used to detect changes in momentum. So, if two price averages are moving closer together (converging) it means momentum is decreasing. If the averages are moving further apart (diverging), it could be a sign that momentum is building.
Fibonacci retracements
Fibonacci retracements are indicators that can be used to determine how much the market will move against a trend i.e. how much will the market retract (pull back) from a current trend.
It’s known as a retracement when the market experiences a temporary dip. Traders using Fibonacci Retracements will look for these dips and use them to gauge whether or not the market might be shifting into a new trend. In other words, traders are trying to find support or resistance for a new trend based on the strength of a retracement. This is where a Fibonacci Retracement calculation is used.
Stochastic oscillator
A stochastic oscillator is an indicator that helps determine whether the market is being oversold or overbought based on the current price compared to a range of prices over time.
A stochastic oscillator indicator can tell you whether the market is:
- Overbought i.e. the current price is above a fair value
- Oversold i.e. the current price is under a fair value
To determine this, you need to compare the current closing price to closing prices over a set period of time.
Bollinger bands
A Bollinger band is an indicator that shows the volatility of an asset’s price within a range of time.
A Bollinger band takes the moving average of an asset over a period and applies standard deviations above and below the current price. These standard deviations create a range (i.e. a band). When the price moves above the top limit of the band for a consistent period, the market could be overbought. When it moves below the lower limit, the market could be oversold.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Indicator
Relative strength index is an oscillator because it’s an indicator plotted on a graph with a scale moving from 1 to 100 and it helps identify the momentum of an asset’s price.
You can calculate the RSI to determine whether the market is bullish or bearish. An asset is considered overbought if the RSI score is over 70% and oversold if the RSI is under 30%.
Average Directional Index (ADX) Indicator
An average directional index tells you how significant a price trend is based on a scale of 0 to 100.
An ADX indicator takes the moving average over a set period of time (usually 14 days). This indicator doesn’t tell you the direction of a trend. Instead, it suggests whether or not a current trend is strong or weak. It does this by providing a score between 0 and 100.
