New Indicators
Elder- Ray:
This is a new technical indicator, which helps in identifying the power of bulls and bears in a market. The Elder – Ray combines several things, such as:
- Price – Each price is a momentary consensus of value.
- Moving average – Moving averages show the average consensus of value.
- The lows and highs of each end bar – The high shows the maximum power of bulls during that bar and the lows show the maximum power of bears during that bar.
We shouldn’t buy when bear power is positive, and the best time to buy is when bear power is negative but rising.
On the other hand, we shouldn’t short - sell when bull power is negative, but the best time to sell is when bull power is positive but falling.
Divergences between the powers of bulls and bears combined with prices can show the best trading opportunities.
Trading rules for Elder – Ray:
Buy when:
1)The trend is up.
2)Bear power is rising but negative.
3)Latest peak of bull power is higher than the previous peak.
4)Bear power is rising from a bullish divergence.
Sell decisions are opposite of buying decisions.
