ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 22:4 (74): Novice Trader's Notebook: Momentum by Amy Wu MOMENTUM The momentum indicator was first presented in J. Welles Wilder's ""New Concepts In Trading Systems"" and has since become a popular technical tool. Price momentum is defined as the measure of velocity of price change or market speed.

ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Novice Trader's Notebook by Amy Wu ON-BALANCE VOLUME First developed by Joe Granville and published in his text New Strategy Of Daily Stock Market Timing For Maximum Profits, on-balance volume (OBV) is a momentum indicator that relates volume to price change. Specifically, the on-balance volume keeps tabs on the running total of volume that is flowing in and out of a security. For instance, if the price of a security closes higher than the close of the previous day, it's up volume. Likewise, when the security's price closes lower than the previous day, it's down volume....
Fast Fourier Transformation by Amy Wu
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Fast Fourier Transformation by Amy Wu For a long time, Fourier transforms were used mostly by engineers. Transforms were used to study sound waves, frequency vibrations, and other repetitive occurrences. Since then, Fourier transforms have been applied to a number of other diverse fields. Aerospace engineers use them to study a plane's wing-tip vibrations during flight, while musicians use them to identify patterns when strumming musical instruments. It was only a matter of time before someone used Fourier transforms for technical analysis, specifically, a type of calculation called the fast ...

Working Money: Commodity Channel Index by Amy Wu
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Working Money: Commodity Channel Index by Amy Wu How can you tell when a new trend is beginning?

Introduced by Donald Lambert in 1980, the commodity channel index is a price momentum indicator that measures the degree of variance of a security price from its statistical mean. Although originally developed for trading commodities, the CCI can be u...

Candlestick charting extends well beyond confirming support and resistance levels and predicting market tops and bottoms.
