Trend indicators

1. Moving average
A moving average is a technique often used in technical analysis that smooths price histories by
averaging daily prices over some period of time.
 9 or 10 period: Very popular and extremely fast moving. Often used as a
directional filter (more later)
 21 period: Medium-term and the most accurate moving average. ...
 50 period: Long-term moving average and best suited for identifying the
longer-term direction.
There is the simple moving average (SMA), which averages together all prices
equally.
The exponential moving average (EMA) weights only the most recent data. Moving
averages work best in trend following systems.
2. Moving average conversion diversion (MACD)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows
the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price.

The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-
period EMA.
3. Parabolic Sar (use with rsi)
The parabolic SAR, or parabolic stop and reverse, is a popular indicator that is mainly used by
traders to determine the future short-term momentum of a given asset.

A trader might buy when the price closes above the upper Parabolic SAR. When the Parabolic
SAR changes from being above price to below price, then the trader might "stop" and buy to cover their
existing short sell and "reverse" direction and buy to go long.
4. Relative strength (RSI)
computed on the basis of the speed and direction of a stock’s price movement. This means that
the RSI indicator only measures the stock’s internal strength (based on its past)
Signals are considered overbought when the indicator is above 70% and oversold when the
indicator is below 30%
5. Aroon
The Arron indicator is composed of two lines. An up line which measures the number of
periods since a High, and a down line which measures the number of periods since a
Low.

The indicator moves between zero and 100. A reading above 50 means that a high/low
(whichever line is above 50) was seen within the last 12 periods.
6. Average directional index (ADXS)
The average directional index (ADX) is used to determine when the price is trending strongly.
7. William %R
Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves
between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to
find entry and exit points in the market.
8. Pivot point
The pivot point itself is simply the average of the high, low and closing prices from the
previous trading day. On the subsequent day, trading above the pivot point is thought to
indicate ongoing bullish sentiment, while trading below the pivot point
indicates bearish sentiment. (sab ko hata kar sirf support 2 rakhenge)

measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a
certain number of periods ago.
