92. Long term charts provide important information regarding long-terms or cycles. The trader can get a correct perspective regarding the real direction of the market in the long run, the strength or direction of the current trend occurring within that trend, or the possibility of a breakout from the long-term trend.

93. Common Points All Of Reversal Patterms
A)The first signal of an impending trend reversal is often the breaking of an important trendline.
B)The larger the pattern,the greater the subsequent move
C)Topping patterns are usually shorter in duration and more volatile than bottoms.
D)Bottoms usually have smaller price ranges and take longer to build

94. The head-and-shoulders formation is confirmed only when the completion of the three rallies and their reversals is followed by a breach of the neckline. The failure of the price to break through the neckline on closing prices basis puts on hold or negates the validity of the formation. Cheesy Cheesy

95. The double-top formation is confirmed only when the full completion of the two rallies and their respective reversals is followed by a breach of the neckline (the closing price is outside the neckline ).The failure of the price to break through the neckline puts on hold or negates the validity of the formation.

96. The flag formation is a reliable chart pattern that provides two vital signals: direction and price objective. This formation consists of a brief consolidation period within a solid and steep upward trend or downward trend. The consolidation itself tends to be sloped in the opposite direction from the slope of the original trend, or simply flat.

97. A Breakaway gap provides the direction of the market.

98. The runaway or measurement gap provides the direction of the market. This gap confirms the health and velocity of the trend.

99. The runaway or measurement gap is the only type of gap that provides a price objective. The price objective is the previous length of the trend, measured from the runaway gap, in the same direction as the original trend. Cool

100. The exhaustion gap provides the direction of the market.

101. Near the beginning of important moves, oscillator analysis isn?t that helpful and can be misleading. Toward the end of market moves ,however ,oscillators become extremely valuable.

102. When the oscillator reaches an extreme value in either the upper or lower end of the band, this suggest that the current price move have gone too far too fast and is due for a correction of some type.

103. The oscillator is most useful when its value reaches an extreme reading near the upper or lower end of its boundaries. The market is said to be overbought when it is near the upper extreme and oversold when it is near the lower extreme. This warns that the price trend is overextended and vulnerable.

104. A divergence between the oscillator and the price action when the oscillator is in an extreme position is usually an important warning. Smiley Smiley

105.-Oscillator-The crossing of the zero line can give important trading signals in the direction of the price trend.

106.Because of the way it is constructed, the momentum line is always a step ahead of the price movement. It leads the advance or decline in prices , then levels off while the current price trend is still in effect. It then begins to move in the opposite direction as prices begin to level off.

107. RSI is plotted on a vertical scale of 0 to 100. Movements above 70 are considered overbought, while an oversold condition would be a move under 30 .Because of shifting that takes place in bull and bear markets, the 80 level usually becomes the overbought level in bull markets and the 20 level the oversold level in bear markets.

108. The first move of RSI into the overbought or oversold region is usually just a warning. The signal to pay close attention to is the second move by the oscillator into the danger zone. If the second move fails to confirm the price move into new highs or new lows, a possible divergence exists. At that point ,some defensive action can be taken to protect existing positions. If the oscillator moves in the opposite direction, breaking a previous high or low, then a divergence or failure swing is confirmed.

109. Stochastics simply measures , on a percentage basis of 0 to 100, where the closing price is in relation to the total price range for a selected time period. A very high reading (over 80) would put the closing price near the top of the range ,while a low reading (under 20) near the bottom of the range.

110. One way to combine daily and weekly stochastics is to use weekly signals to determine market direction and daily signals for timing(it depends from the type of the trader). It?s also a good idea to combine stochastics with RSI.

111. Most oscillator buy signals work best in uptrends and oscillator sell signals are most profitables in downtrends. The place to start your market analysis is always by determining the general trend of the market. Oscillators can then be used to help time market entry.

112. Give less attention to the oscillators in the early stages of an important move, but pay close attention to its signals as the move reaches maturity.

113.The best way to combine technical indicators is use weekly signals to determine market direction and the daily signals to fine-tune entry and exit points. A daily signal is followed only when it agrees with the weekly signal. (daily-weekly, 4 hour-daily,4 hour-1 hour).

114. The failure of prices to react to bullish news in an overbought area is a clear warning that a turn may be near. The failure of prices in an oversold area to react to bearish news can be taken as a warning that all the bad news has been fully discounted in the current low price. Any bullish news will push prices higher.

115. -Elliot Wave Theory- A complete bull market cycle is made up of eight waves, five up waves followed by three down waves.

116 -Elliot Wave Theory- A trend divides into five waves in the direction of the longer trend.

119-Elliot Wave Theory- Sometimes one of the impulse waves extends. The other two should then be equal in time and magnitude. Wink Wink

120-Elliot Wave Theory- The Finobacci sequence is the mathematical basis of the Elliot Wave Theory.

121-Elliot Wave Theory- The number of waves follows the Finobacci sequence.

122-Elliot Wave Theory- Finobacci ratios and retracements are used to determine price objectives. The most common retracements are 62%, 50% and 38%.

123 -Elliot Wave Theory- Bear markets should not fall below the bottom of the previous fourth wave.

124 -Elliot Wave Theory- Wave 4 should not overlap wave 1.

125 .Support and resistance are the most effective chart tools to use for entry and exit points. For purposes of placing stop loss, support and resistance levels are most valuable.
