Overbought to Oversold: The Crucial Addition!Here's why most algorithms fail. They don't take into account the context you needed it to. Here's why it's hard to correct that: you need something OUTSIDE of the raw number-crunching that you're doing in order to understand what's happening. If you're very good at that, you're already a profitable trader to begin with! In that case, it can be discouraging to move to a different platform where, at least to begin with, you don't see yourself making any move into profitable territory any time soon. In this example, I used a raw "overbought to oversold" strategy that looks at RSI crossing from overbought/oversold to fair value to time exits and entries. The problem is, results vary widely. Sometimes, it is right 95% of the time for hundreds and hundreds of bars. Other times, it stops you out thirty times in a row. Whenever you see this type of erratic behavior, you know something outside of the stochastic nature of asset prices is playing its part. This is why you need to understand what you're doing; what you're coding, and why the results are what they are. What kind of indicator is RSI? When does it work, and when does it fail? When you realize RSI is an oscillating momentum indicator, it's not hard to figure out it does well when a stock is ranging, and does poorly if it's strongly trending. RSI can be seen hitting overbought a dozen times during a strong bull run without the price action showing more than a few small pull-backs along the way. Makes sense: it is essentially built to analyze what it thinks of price action if you'd assume that the price will stay within the same range, or is given time to consolidate after having broken out of a previous range. When you understand this, the answer to our erratic algorithm becomes clear. We need a trend indicator that stays flat enough when a stock is showing certain types of ranging behavior, but steep enough when it rallies for long enough or ranges so wildly during an erratic time that RSI won't measure it correctly. If we try to do this with a simple moving average, the problem you'll encounter is that it's either too reactive or too sluggish. You want to have some indication on the slope of the moving average, which indicates trend rather than momentum. The difference in slopes in the near term could be read as a form of "MACD", which is obviously momentum, but if you take it day-over-day, it more or less indicates the general trend direction. Now, we can see on the chart below how we're not trading when RSI is misrepresenting the "overbought" and "oversold" states because it failed to take into account price action and trend, while trading very accurately when the stock is ranging. That's a home run algorithm waiting to enter the next stages: adding optional functionalities, optimization, and a battery of backtests. Whether you want to build an algo, or trade manually, simply understanding how indicators can complement one another and how you can quantify your pre-existing intuition for "ranging" and "trending" without using complex variables and indicators beyond simple differences of moving averages can be hugely beneficial to your development as a trader. Hope you learned something and happy trading!

LHA Possible Breakout? Deutsche Lufthansa AG, commonly known as Lufthansa, is the largest German airline which, when combined with its subsidiaries, is the second largest airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried. With the support it received to rescue it during this pandemic, it should be expected that it will definitely survive the pandemic According to the current trend of LHA, a short term consolidation pattern can be quickly identified from the 4hr time frame. Given that the RSI has been fluctuating between the 40s - 60s range for the past week, short term support and resistance levels have been created at the 11.0 and 9.8 price levels. If a breakout is to happen, this will probably drive up the price to test its previous resistance level from last week at around the 12.5 price level. This can also be predicted from the expected intersection of the MACD which will initiate the trend reversal signal. This should however be confirmed later on using other indicators such as the TD Sequential or Parabolic SAR or fractal strategies which I will do later after the trend becomes more clear within the week. This is highly probably as more borders in the EU continue to open, a process which is expected to continue until the 1st of July. Regardless of this, it is hard to predict when the trend will exit consolidation as it is hard to know how fast demand will act to drive up the price, hence this may take more time than expected. Additionally, with more fears of a second wave, this may also act to lower demand, further lengthening the consolidation, hence, this applies to both long and short traders. Good luck trading!

Of the 15 trades of successful traders and one more thing...JUVE✍ ️ I decided today to write a review of the book by Aleksand elder "inputs And outputs: 15 master classes from trading professionals". And for one thing, tell you about the deal I mentioned earlier, short on Juventus shares. So it will be TRAINING and ANALYSIS in one post, or interesting thoughts and ideas + a specific signal and action. 👉 I will start with the book and the most important thing, I will tell you 3 TOP ideas of this reading. I usually prefer to identify the most basic of any action (including trading on the stock exchange). Here is an example : out of 100 shares, I choose 10 of the most suitable and make deals on 3 of them, or even better on one (well, this is how it goes). So here, after reading the book, I can say the three best ideas that I learned and use in trading (and not only in trading): 1) the Main secret in trading — there is no secret. Just carefully study the experience of real traders. 2) keeping a diary and analyzing transactions (both unprofitable and profitable) is one of the most important factors for success. 3) it is better Not to tell anyone about your open positions — this greatly affects the result. 👀 Now let's talk briefly about the book "Inputs and outputs: 15 master classes from trading professionals", which is an interview with fifteen traders. Stock traders share their real deals for real money — it is interesting to study the experience of successful, or not so, speculators. It is also interesting to read the opinion of the author of the book, Alexander elder, about each position of these traders. He speaks correctly: "Read, but don't believe traders to the end, they all tend to embellish wins and downplay losses!" 👥 Next I will briefly write about these same traders: 1) sherry Haskell (state of California, trading account in the region of $ 1 million) 2) Fred Schutzman (new York state, trading account over $ 1 million) 3) Andrea Perolo (country of Italy, trading account less than 250,000$) 4) Sohail Rabbani (the country of United Kingdom, the account of the district $1 million) 5) ray Tesla Jr. (Penn state, account in the region of $1 million) 6) James McMahon (Arizona state, account less than$250,000) 7) Gerald Appel (state of new York, the expense of more than$1 million) 8) Michael Brenke (North Carolina state, account less than$250,000) 9) Kerry Lovorn (Alabama, trading account about $ 1 million) 10) Diane Buffalin (Michigan state, account less than$ 250,000) 11) David Weiss (Massachusetts, trading account over $ 1 million) 12) William Doane (Massachusetts, trading account over $ 1 million) 13) Damir Makhmudov (country of Latvia, trading account less than 250,000$) 14) Pascal Villen (country of Belgium, trading account about $ 1 million) 15) Martin Knapp (country Australia, trading account about $ 1 million) 📊 Now about the trades of these traders: Each trader gives two trades, each with its own charts and indicators. As we understand everything individually and everyone has their own strategy and vision of the market, but the most interesting thing is to watch how Alexander elder passes transactions through his system, shows these entry and exit points on his charts, and tells his vision in detail. I recommend you to study and see — this is an interesting idea. 📘 My conclusions from the book: reading this is both useful and interesting! I recommend it! It would be great to get this sort of analysis from Alexand elder on your deals. ⚽ App now signals for the football club "Juventus". Now this signal has been confirmed and you can enter the position. Our system "4 screens" gives us the go-ahead to enter (by the way, this system is a redesigned system of Alexander elder "3 screens"). Personally, I already entered this position last week. Say guidelines for entry point that are visible on the chart - in € 0.98, stop on 2% of supply in the area of 1,05 Euro, but with a profit and exit point is up to you. The link to the graph looks like a picture on our system "4 screens" will be in the comments, since the main post is often deleted due to links. And one more thing, in conclusion, I wanted to add something that I realized from this book — it is better to trade "hidden", not telling anyone about your transactions, as this can greatly affect the results. Recently I watched an interesting movie "money Changers" in which I saw a scene that for me again was like an Epiphany. If you remember the frame where speculators changed rubles for bags of coins and told their "trading idea" to a person from the market, they brought a lot of problems on themselves. So keep your ideas to yourself and share them with your partner investors. That's why I'm tying up with the publication of trading ideas, who is interested, we have an investment Fund Gold_STAR, where all transactions are open and the investor can see everything in their personal account. The results are stable, but remember that this cannot guarantee the same in the future. I will also attach a link to the Fund's statistics in the comments. I wish you all good reading and good luck in trading!
