How Bollinger Bands Can Improve Your Trading Strategy ?

How Bollinger Bands Can Improve Your Trading Strategy ?

Feb 18, 2023 |

Bollinger Bands are a popular chart overlay indicator for traders and investors to measure market volatility.

Bollinger Bands on a TradingView Price Chart

Bollinger Bands indicator applied onto Ethereum TradingView chart!

 

How to interpret Bollinger Bands on the chart ? 

These bands can be found under indicators on charting tools like TradingView and consist of three entities – the upper band, the middle line (which is a 20-day Simple Moving Average by default), and the lower band.

The upper band is located two standard deviations above the middle line, while the lower band is located two standard deviations below the middle line. Traders and investors use Bollinger Bands to interpret market trends and signals.

 

What is Bollinger Squeeze and how to find it on Chart ? 

When applied to a price chart, wider Bollinger Bands indicate higher price volatility, while narrow bands indicate price stability. To look for trends and signals using Bollinger Bands, traders and investors typically watch for a “Bollinger squeeze,” which occurs when the upper and lower bands come closer to the moving average line. This can signal an uptrend, and traders will watch for the price to move above the upper band continuously.

 

What is Bollinger Bounce ? 

When the price reaches the upper band and moves back towards the middle band, it is called a “Bollinger bounce.” Traders will typically look for continuous downward movement of the price below the lower band, indicating a downtrend. The upper and lower bands can also act as support and resistance levels.

It’s important to remember that, like all other indicators and patterns, Bollinger Bands should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for best results. By following these guidelines, traders and investors can make more informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.

What does Bollinger bands represent on the price chart ? 

When applied to the price chart, Bollinger bands represent price volatility. Wider bands mean higher price volatility and narrow bands mean price stability.

Bollinger Bands and Bollinger Squeeze Example on TradingView Chart

Bollinger Squeeze

On the security price chart, if the upper and lower Bollinger bands come closer to the moving average line, traders/investors usually lookout for price moving higher up above the upper band continuously i.e uptrend. This is the Bollinger squeeze.

Tower Top and Tower Bottom Pattern

Tower Top and Tower Bottom Pattern

Feb 16, 2023 |

Introduction

Tower Top and Tower Bottom are multi-day trend reversal candlestick patterns that traders use to identify potential reversals in the market.

What is Tower Top Candlestick pattern?

The Tower Top pattern occurs after an uptrend. On Day 1, there is a longer bullish candlestick, followed by a few smaller body candlesticks. Finally, on the last day, a large bearish candlestick appears, completing the formation of the tower. The left-most and right-most candlesticks make up the two sides of the tower, while the middle candlesticks act as the roof.

The psychology behind the Tower Top pattern is that the bullish candlestick on Day 1 confirms the previous uptrend. However, subsequent days of small body candlesticks indicate that momentum has slowed down. The large bearish candlestick on the last day suggests a change in sentiment, indicating a potential reversal.

To identify Tower Top patterns on your TradingView chart, follow these steps:

  1. Open your TradingView chart
  2. Make sure you are connected to your broker
  3. Look for a longer bullish candlestick followed by smaller body candlesticks and a large bearish candlestick on the final day
  4. Keep in mind that the left-most and right-most candlesticks should make up the two sides of the tower, and the middle candlesticks should act as the roof.

Why is Tower Top Candlestick pattern important ? 

By learning to identify the Tower Top pattern and its psychology, traders can make informed decisions and potentially profit from market reversals.

Tri-Star Pattern

Tri-Star Pattern

Feb 14, 2023 |

The Tri-Star Candlestick Pattern is a three day trend reversal pattern which has three doji’s.

A Tri-star Top pattern happens after a uptrend. Day one is a doji. Second day is Doji again that gaps up above the day 1 open & close price. Day 3 is also doji and it is under the open& close of the middle day doji.

  Tri-Star Candlestick Pattern - Top - 2  Tri-Star Candlestick Pattern - Top -1

A Tri-star Bottom pattern happens after a downtrend.. Day one is a doji. Second day is Doji again that gaps down below  the day 1 open & close price. Day 3 is also doji and it is over  the open & close of the middle day doji.
Tri-Star Candlestick Pattern - Bottom -1

 Tri-Star Candlestick Pattern - Bottom-3

 

Psychology of Tri-Star  pattern is that after an upward trend a doji appears which is a sign of indecision. Two more doji’s over next successive days indicates that the previous trend is slowing down and bulls’ power is growing for the Tri-Star Bottom pattern and vice-versa for the Tri-Star Top pattern.

Advance Block Pattern

Advance Block Pattern

Dec 29, 2022 |

The Advance Block candlestick pattern is a three-day formation.

Introduction :

The Advance Block candlestick pattern consists of three consecutive bullish candles.
• While the security is making new highs, the real bodies of the bullish candles are getting progressively smaller.
• This pattern typically occurs during an uptrend, and while it doesn’t necessarily indicate a reversal, it can be a warning sign of a slowing uptrend.

What is Advance Block Candlestick pattern ? 

The Advance Block candlestick pattern is a three-day formation that traders use to identify potential changes in an uptrend’s momentum. This pattern typically occurs during an uptrend, and while it doesn’t necessarily indicate a reversal, it can be a warning sign of a slowing uptrend.

The Advance Block pattern consists of three consecutive bullish candles.

The first candle is a long bullish candle that signifies a strong buying presence in the market.

The second day brings another long bullish candle that opens within the real body of the first day’s candle, and closes above the high of the first day. It also features a long upper shadow, indicating that buyers are still pushing the price higher, but encountering some resistance from sellers.

The third day is a small bullish candlestick that usually opens within the second day’s real body and closes above its close, also featuring an upper shadow.

 

Advance Block Pattern 2

                                                                                                                                                       Advance Block Pattern Candlesticks

Advance Block Pattern 3

                                                                                                                                        Advance Block Candlestick Pattern

Why is Advance Block  Candlestick Pattern important ? 

The psychology behind this pattern is that while the security is making new highs, the real bodies of the bullish candles are getting progressively smaller, signaling a potential weakening of the bullish momentum.

The upper shadows show that buyers are still trying to push prices higher, but bears are successfully pushing the price down from its highs, leading to gradually smaller gains for the bulls.

By identifying the Advance Block pattern, traders can potentially take advantage of the slowdown in the uptrend by exiting long positions or hedging against potential losses. It is a useful tool for technical analysis and should be included in any trader’s arsenal.

As like any other, Tri-Star pattern require sconfirmation in the following days.If future day candlesticks go above the last day candlestick(s)  the pattern is voided. You can identify Tri-Star pattern by applying it from indicators list on your TradingView chart.

A Beginner’s Guide to Using Moving Averages in Technical Analysis

A Beginner’s Guide to Using Moving Averages in Technical Analysis

Dec 21, 2022 |

Introduction:

Moving averages are popular technical analysis indicators used by traders and investors to identify the direction of upward or downward trends in securities. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of moving averages and how they can be used to derive trends in financial markets.

Type of Moving Averages

There are several varieties of moving averages, including the Simple Moving Average (SMA), the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the Weighted Moving Average (WMA). The length of the moving average is a crucial parameter that traders consider to identify trends.

  1. Simple Moving Average (SMA): An arithmetic mean of security prices over a set number of days, typically 10, 20, 50, 100, or 200. The length of the moving average is an important parameter that traders use to identify trends.
  2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA): A weighted average that places greater emphasis on recent price action.
  3. Weighted Moving Average (WMA): This is similar to the exponential average, but with equal weight given to each day.

Steps to apply Moving Averages onto TradingView Charts :

Follow the instructions in below images to apply Moving Average indicator on TradingView Chart.

TradingView Indicators - Moving Averages Step 1

Instruction: Go to Indicators

 

TradingView Indicators - Moving Averages - Step 2

Instruction: Select the Moving Average

  

TradingView Indicators - Moving Averages - Step 3

Instruction: See the moving average line displayed on the chart

TradingView Indicators - Moving Averages - Step 4

Instruction: Adjust the moving average line parameters by double clicking on the line

 

Psychology of Moving Average Indicator:

The underlying psychology of the moving average indicator is that it smooths out price fluctuations. Average price is calculated over a set number of days. Accordingly, raders can use the direction of the moving average line on a price chart to determine whether a security is in an uptrend, downtrend, or ranging.

After applying the moving average indicator, if the price of the security is above the moving average line, it signals an uptrend. If the price of the security is below the moving average line, it signals a potential ongoing price reversal based on the moving average.

 

Strategies to identify Moving Average Indicator: 

Traders often use crossover strategies to identify trend and sentiment changes in financial markets. There are two primary types of crossover strategies:

  1. Price crossover strategy: This involves identifying when the price of a security crosses themoving average line. If the price is above the moving average line, it indicates an uptrend. If the price is below the moving average line it signals a downtrend.
  1. Moving Average Overlap strategy: This involves applying two moving averages (one shorter-term and another longer-term) on the same price chart of a security. The point at which these two moving average lines merge is known as a crossover. Traders consider the sentiment to be bullish if the security consistently moves above the crossover, and bearish if it moves below.

Conclusion:

Moving averages are a powerful tool in the technical analysis toolkit that traders and investors can use to identify trends and sentiment changes in financial markets.

By understanding the different types of moving averages and their application in crossover strategies, traders can make more informed investment decisions. So, to stay ahead in the markets, it’s important to incorporate moving averages into your technical analysis strategy.
