Technical Indicator Types

Trend
Trend indicators smooth price data out, so that a persistent up, down or sideways trend can be easily seen. (Examples: moving averages, trend lines)

Strength
Strength indicators describe the intensity of market opinion on a certain price by examining the market positions taken by various market participants. Volume or open interest are the basic ingredients of strength indicators.

Volatility
"Volatility" refers to the magnitude of day-to-day price fluctuations, whatever their directional trend. Changes in volatility tend to anticipate changes in prices. (Example: Bollinger Bands)

Cycle
Cycle indicators indicate repeating market patterns from recurrent events such as seasons or elections. Cycle indicators determine the timing of a particular market pattern. (Example: Elliott Wave)

Support/resistance
Support and resistance describes the price levels where markets repeatedly rise or fall and then reverse. This phenomenon is attributed to basic supply and demand. (Example: Trend Lines)

Momentum
Momentum indicators determine the strength or weakness of a trend as it progresses over time. Momentum is highest when a trend starts and lowest when the trend changes.

When price and momentum diverge, it suggests weakness. If price extremes occur with weak momentum, it signals an end of movement in that direction. If momentum is trending strongly and prices are flat, it signals a potential change in price direction. (Example: Stochastic, MACD, RSI)

Price Chart Types

Bar charts
The most common type of chart showing price action. Each bar represents a period of time - a "period" as short as 1 minute or as long as several years. Over time, bar charts show distinct price patterns.

Candlestick charts
Instead of a simple bar, each candlestick shows the high, low, opening and closing price for that period of time it represents. Candlestick patterns provide greater visual detail as they develop.

Point & figure charts
Point & figure patterns resemble bar chart patterns, except Xs and Os are used to mark changes in price direction. Point & figure charts make no use of time scale to associate a certain day with a certain price action.

What is Technical Analysis?

Technical analysis attempts to forecast future price movements by examining past market data.

Most traders use technical analysis to get a "big picture" on an investment's price history. Even fundamental traders will glance at a chart to see if they're buying at a fair price, selling at a cyclical top or entering a choppy, sideways market.

Technical analysts make a few key assumptions:

All market fundamentals are reflected in price data. Moods, differing opinions, and other market fundamentals need not be studied.

History repeats itself in regular, fairly predictable patterns. These patterns, generated by price movements, are called signals. A technical analyst's goal is to uncover a current market's signals by examining past market signals.
Prices move in trends. Technical analysts believe price fluctuations are not random and unpredictable. Once an up, down or sideways trend has been established, it usually will continue for a period.

Get in and get out - at the right time

Traders rely on price charts, volume charts and other mathematical representations of market data (called studies) to find the ideal entry and exit points for a trade. Some studies help identify a trend, while others help determine the strength and sustainability of that trend over time.

Technical analysis can add discipline and minimize emotion in your trading plan. It can be hard to screen out fundamental impressions and stick with your entry and exit points as planned. While no system is perfect, technical analysis helps you see your trading plan through more objectively and dispassionately.

Foreign Exchange Market

The foreign exchange (currency or FX) market is where currency trading takes place. FX transactions typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today started evolving during the 1970s when worldover countries gradually switched to floating exchange rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Breton Woods system till 1971.

Today FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global forex and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$ 3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.

Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.
The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc, and the need for trading in such currencies.

After High-Profile Start, SC Limps to End of 2008

Trials both communal and personal highlight a 2008 that for SC ends on a dark economic note

South Carolina started 2008 with a hand in shaping the nation's future. The year ends with the state battered by repercussions, from both within and beyond its borders.
Turmoil in the nation's housing market morphed into a crisis of credit and consumer confidence. Companies announced layoffs and the state's unemployment rate shot to the third-highest in the U.S. in November -- 183,000 were jobless as the holidays approached.

"The little people are suffering. It seems like the CEOs are walking away," Michael Jones, a 61-year-old former Army sergeant, as he applied for unemployment benefits earlier this month because his savings was drying up.
The state's drooping economy means fewer taxes to pay for the services expected from state and local governments, and trouble is in store for some schools and universities. State employees are losing pay through furloughs. For the state's low-income residents, programs that provide care for HIV patients, the terminally ill and the hungry are being slashed.
Economic forecasters believe it will get worse. They predict double-digit unemployment for 2009.

But in a year that for many ended with intensely personal economic travails, others had memories far more frightening.
A family in Anderson was slaughtered in April, and their teen son now stands accused of the murders. High schoolers in Chesterfield worried for their own safety this spring after authorities say a classmate planned to blow up the building.
A Hilton Head Island couple vanished in March and their former accountant committed suicide as suspicion fell on him. A boy in Sumter was gunned down as he and his family did the most innocent of activities: trick-or-treating on Halloween. Four people died and two musicians suffered burns when their private jet ran off the end of a Columbia runway in September and burst into flames.

There were moments when the state's dismay was communal, too.
Months after it opened, the $400 million Hard Rock Park filed for bankruptcy protection as the economy dashed the cheery predictions made before it opened. The owners now hope to sell it off.
The high price of gas this summer surely hurt the Myrtle Beach attraction. There was a sense of shared burden as drivers stood, cringing, in lines to pay $4 per gallon and then watched pumps run dry after hurricanes Gustav and Ike shut down refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. State prosecutors issued 37 subpoenas for price gouging and say the investigation continues.

Weather made life tough, especially in the Upstate, as a multiyear drought dragged on.
In Greenville, hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants were arrested in October and pointed toward deportation after an investigation into a poultry plant's hiring practices. The sweep that left the city's Spanish-speaking community wringing its hands left others wondering why local officials looked the other way for so long.
Dashboard cameras allowed a look into the working lives of South Carolina state troopers, and not everyone enjoyed the view. Footage showed a trooper striking a motorcycle with his cruiser; an officer not bothering to get out of his car as he chased a running suspect across the grounds of a populated apartment complex; a trooper striking a man with a shotgun after the suspect was subdued.
The heads of the state's Public Safety Department and Highway Patrol resigned in February. One trooper was acquitted of a federal charge in 2008, while a second awaits trial.

But the state also banded together to set the nation's course during the presidential primary season.
South Carolina's Republicans boosted John McCain on his path to the nomination, as the Arizona senator avenged his loss in the state to President George W. Bush in 2000. A week later, Democrats gave Barack Obama a resounding win and momentum the history-making candidate would never relinquish.
In all, the state hosted three debates between presidential contenders, and after vaulting Obama and McCain into a General Election showdown, a record 1.9 million state residents cast ballots in November.
But those days of presidential primaries are almost a year old. The focus now is on the economic troubles expected to cut a wider and deeper swath in the coming months.

Understanding Rollovers and Interest Rates

One market convention unique to currencies is rollovers. A rollover is a transaction where an open position from one value date (settlement date) is rolled over into the next value date. Rollovers represent the intersection of interest-rate markets and forex markets.

Currency is money, after all

Rollover rates are based on the difference in interest rates of the two currencies in the pair you’re trading. That’s because what you’re actually trading is good old-fashioned cash. When you’re long a currency, it’s like having a deposit in the bank. If you’re short a currency, it’s like having borrowed a loan. Just as you would expect to earn interest on a bank deposit or pay interest on a loan, you should expect an interest gain/expense for holding a currency position over the change in value. Think of an open currency position as one account with a positive balance (the currency you’re long) and one with a negative balance (the currency you’re short).

But because your accounts are in two different currencies, the two interest rates of the different countries apply. The difference between the interest rates in the two countries is called the interest-rate differential. The larger the interestrate differential, the larger the impact from rollovers. The narrower the interest-rate differential, the smaller the effect from rollovers. You can find relevant interest-rate levels of the major currencies from any number of financial-market Web sites. Look for the base or benchmark lending rates in each country.
