Indicators Technical Analysis

Most technical indicators are shown separately from the chart usually below it. This is because the indicators often use a different scale than that of the price chart.

Other technical analysis indicators are displayed on the chart itself, such as Moving Averages and Bollinger Band these are referred to as price overlays.

Some of the popular when it comes to analysis ones are:

Moving Average (MA) - Using a variety of trading analysis studies, various types of trading signals can be generated from the currency charts using the moving averages. The MA indicates buy signals when currency prices rise above the moving average lines. Sell signals occur when the price falls below the moving average lines. Another method to trade with moving averages is using the MA crossover signals.

MACD is one of the trend following indicators, MACD has a signal line that's used to generate a buy signal (above the MACD center-line) or a sell signal (below the MACD center-line).

Volume based market analysis indicators are used to determine the momentum of the market trends. High volume, especially near the bottom of the market can indicate the beginning of a new trend while low volume may indicate range markets or sideways market movements.

Bollinger Band indicator shows potential points where the market movements are likely to change. Technical analysis Stock Indices setups of this technical indicator that show sharp moves in price action tend to occur when the bands tighten (the Bollinger bands squeeze). While prices that touch one of the outer bollinger band tends to go all the way to the other bollinger band. Bollinger Band move in a particular direction either up or down when there is a market trend.

These technical indicators are some of the most widely used indicators when it comes to daily technical analysis. To learn more about how to combine these market analysis indicators to form a trading strategy go to strategies section and learn how to come up with an indicator based system.
