A point on a candle stick chart representing a day in which the underlying price has moved up. Candlesticks will have a body and usually two wicks on each end. The bottom of the white body represents the opening price and the top of the body represents the closing price. The top and bottom tips of each wick are the day's highest and lowest price respectively.Also known as an "open candlestick." Candlestick charts are primarily used by technical traders because of how quick a day's price movement is conveyed. There are many formations which can be used as a buy, sell or hold indicator. Red/black candlesticks represent a downward movement for the day, which are opposite of white candle sticks. Most charting software will allow you to change the colors of these candles. Even though white is the common color for this type of candlestick, any color can and is used by traders.
Buying and selling stocks according to a screen based on predetermined criteria, usually with the help of technical indicators such as relative strength or momentum. This method allows traders to enter transactions without emotion and backtest their strategies by using historical data from any time period. For example, one of the most common mechanical investing systems is called the Dogs of the Dow. This strategy involves buying the 10 stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the highest dividend yield at the beginning of each year. The portfolio is then adjusted each year to only include the 10 highest yielding stocks. Proponents of mechanical investing say that using this method of investing removes all emotion by allowing a computer to do the work of deciding whether investing in a certain asset is warranted.英文名称:MechanicalInvesting中文名称:机械化投资 根据预定的投资选择标准买卖股票称为机械化投资。
英文名称:Death Cross 中文名称:死叉技术分析用语。指原本向上呈多头排列的短、中、长期平均线,其短期平均线自上方逐渐走平且向下斜插(跌破)中、长期平均线,并带动中、长期平均线同步向下行成空头排列。这种情况意味着上升趋势被扭转,未来方向看跌。A crossover resulting from a security's long-term moving average breaking above its short-term moving average or support level. As long-term indicators carry more weight, this trend indicates a bear market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes. Additionally, the long-term moving average becomes the new resistance level in the rising market.
英文名称:Drawdown 中文名称:提取借款/动用贷款/启用贷款泛指从金融机构(国际货币基金组织、银行等)提取借款。e.g. LME nickel jumps on the back of a major drawdown in LME inventories as well as technical-related buying, says Robin Bhar of UBS.The peak-to-trough decline during a specific record period of an investment, fund or commodity. A drawdown is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the trough. A drawdown is measured from the time a retrenchment begins to when a new high is reached. This method is used because a valley can't be measured until a new high occurs. once the new high is reached, the percentage change from the old high to the smallest trough is recorded.Drawdowns help determine an investment's financial risk. Both the Calmar and Sterling ratios use this metric to compare a security's possible reward to its risk.
英文名称:Divergence 中文名称:偏离证券价格与指标的趋势存在一定差异。When the price of an asset and an indicator, index or other related asset move in opposite directions. In technical analysis, traders make transaction decisions by identifying situations of divergence, where the price of a stock and a set of relevant indicators, such as the money flow index (MFI), are moving in opposite directions. In technical analysis, divergence is considered either positive or negative, both of which are signals of major shifts in the direction of the price. Positive divergence occurs when the price of a security makes a new low while the indicator starts to climb upward. Negative divergence happens when the price of the security makes a new high, but the indicator fails to do the same and instead closes lower than the previous high.
威廉指数(Williams%Rate)是由拉瑞·威廉于1973年的《我如何赚取百万美元》一书中首先发表的,所以以他的名字命名,原名叫“威廉超买超卖指数”,简称WMS%R或%R。该指数是利用摆动点来度量市场的超买超卖现象,所以可以此预测循环周期内的高和低点,找出其有效信号,是分析市场短期行情走势的技术指标。计算时先要决定周期天数,用此数取一个买卖循环的半数。许多分析家认为一个买卖循环为28天,除开周六、日,实际交易日为20天。一个较长的买卖循环期为56天,除开周六、日,交易日是40天,如各取其一半正好是10天和20天。也有取5天周期来计算%R的In technical analysis, this is a momentum indicator measuring overbought and oversold levels, similar to a stochastic oscillator. It was developed by Larry Williams and compares a stock's close to the high-low range over a certain period of time, usually 14 days. It is used to determine market entry and exit points. The Williams %R produces values from 0 to -100, a reading over 80 usually indicates a stock is oversold, while readings below 20 suggests a stock is overbought.
