Uncertainty in the market is unavoidable, but for every trade decision where capital is at risk, making sure you have confirmation from multiple measurements that conditions are right gives you the highest probability of success.
Indicator Overload is Challenging
Traders are all too familiar with information overload, not only from external market news but often of their own making. They may fill their price charts with numerous lines and indicators to make, confirm, or reconfirm trading decisions. Many are overwhelmed by the often redundant, occasionally contradictory, and ever-complicated battery of indicators as they consider whether to launch a new trade, add to a position, or objectively exit when a trend ends or reverses.
Much has been written on trend-following investment strategies and the persistent anomaly of momentum. Buying strength, buying breakouts, and momentum trading are all ways to describe this style. However, while appearing to be simple, emotions often force investors to cut winners too early, while averaging down losing trades.
A New Approach is Needed
Traders and investors need to take the guesswork out of making important decisions to streamline trend identification and momentum analysis. This calls for a solution that can help:
- Improve risk management by signaling when to exit trades to protect against loss of capital.
- Avoid analysis paralysis by eliminating confusing indicators on a chart that can stall decision-making.
- Provide transparency by delivering a complete view of technical conditions on any security/sector/index/asset over any timeframe.
- Simplify the complexity to gain clarity by blending trend, momentum, volume, and volatility for a comprehensive view of trends, while staying focused on price.
