CCI Indicator: Commodity Channel Index

162 days ago

CCI Indicator

The Commodity Channel Index or (CCI) was created as a way to pinpoint trading signals on commodities. Like many oscillators, it is plotted over a graph below a price chart. The default setting is generally 20 periods. If used on a daily chart, it would include 20 days of price history in the calculations. If used on a weekly chart, 20 weeks. While the CCI Indicator doesn’t have maximum boundries on the graph, typically most of the CCI readings will be between -100 and +100. Traders now use CCI for stocks, forex, and ETFs as well.

Natural Gas ETF

174 days ago

When will the Natural Gas downturn end?

While many of the commodities have enjoyed a rally over the last few months, Natural Gas recently put in yet another lower low on the daily chart. Since the Tradesurfer Indicator first signaled a short entry just south of $75 on the Natural Gas ETN symbol:GAZ, we’ve seen the downtrend that begun in July 2008 continue. Traders using the Natural Gas ETF symbol:UNG have witnessed a similar picture.

Gold ETF

Will Gold Prices Break $1000?

The price of gold is once again charging towards $1000. Can it break through this resistance area? The attached weekly chart of the gold etf symbol:GLD shows how prices have climbed several times over the last two years only to turn back. A resistance area on a chart represents a level where price cannot seem to break above. A level where sellers overpower buyers. Traders may be familiar with the phrase “buy low sell high”. When trading a breakout above resistance, traders are looking to buy higher.

Dow Jones Possible Head and Shoulders Pattern?

237 days ago

Head and Shoulders Reversal Patterns

Looking at the weekly chart of the Dow Jones Index, there is increased discussion among technicians around whether we are seeing a reverse head and shoulders pattern where price is now poised to breakout above the neckline. A reverse or inverse pattern would resemble a person hung upside down. Still noticeable is the left shoulder, head, and right shoulder as well as the neckline which runs across the highs and can act as a resistance area.

Typically traders would want to see price break

Developing Trend Trading Strategies

Investors looking to trend trade use a variety of systems and set ups based on technical analysis to decide when to enter and exit positions. In most cases, traders use a combination of price with one or more indicators that identify potential emerging trends. Today we’ll review a simple trend based entry and exit strategy highlighting MACD which stands for moving average convergence divergence and a simple moving average price crossover.

Currency ETF Potential Short:British Pound Us Dollar Poised to Move Lower?

246 days ago

GBP/USD Forex Pair

Taking a look at a daily chart of the currency etf which tracks the British Pound/US Dollar pair (Symbol:FXB) we can see that after a nice recent run up, the pair seems to have hit some upper resistance around the 1.65 level. We are also keeping an eye on the up trend line to see if price might produce a bearish violation and thus point to a potential short entry. While the Tradesurfer Indicator is currently showing a reading of 2, the slope and direction of the averages suggest a reading of 0 might not be too far off.

Technical Analysis Signals: Natural Gas Poised For Breakout?

268 days ago

Trading Commodities

Today was an interesting day in that the US Dollar was stronger, the US Markets were down, and for the most part across the board commodities were lower after moving higher for a couple weeks.

One anomaly for the day was Natural Gas which saw a move higher and has started to show signs that maybe the prolonged downtrend may atleast be resting which makes it an interesting item to put on traders watch lists
