Trading Signals Tool

The Trading Signals tool is made up of three report sections. The main report section is the Technical Analysis. Below it there are the Technical Alerts and the Japanese Candlesticks reports.

Technical Analysis Report

The image shows the Technical Analysis report section (the most recently published reports in this section will be at the top).

Please refer the following descriptions to the numbering in the image above: The 'Symbol' column (1) identifies the symbol's name (note that the USD does not appear in this column if it is part of the symbol). The 'Time (GMT)' column (2) shows the date and time when the analysis was published (note that the date format is: DD/MM/YY). The 'Title' column (3) details the investment horizon and refers to the time period which is either: Intraday, Short-Term (ST) or Mid-Term (MT).

There are 5 possible trends: bull, limited upside, consolidation, limited downside, downside. The '1 Month' column (5) shows Trading Central's opinion on a Mid-Term view (1 to 2 months). There are 3 possible opinions: bullish, trading range, bearish. The 'Change' columns (6) indicate the change of Trading Central's opinion since the previous publication.

Please refer the following descriptions to the numbering in the image above: The Pivot Point (1) is the key level within every technical analysis report. If the price has broken through this level and remains beyond it by the end of the current bar, the Preference scenario is invalidated, making the alternative scenario the favorite scenario. Therefore, the pivot point can be used as a stoploss level. The Preference Scenario (2) is Trading Central's favorite outcome. It is illustrated by the blue arrow in the technical chart. Trading central usually provides a conservative target and an aggressive target. The Alternative Scenario (3) is the favorite scenario once the Pivot Point has been activated and there has been a psychological change in the market. The Comment (4) is an important feature of the technical strategy because it outlines how confident Trading Central is in its Preference Scenario and giving key additional information regarding it. The Trend (5) is showing the opinion for the symbol on the two time horizons. The Key Levels Comment (6) indicates the importance of each level. The stars correlate to how significant these levels are (*=weak, **= medium, ***=strong), meaning the likelihood of them not being broken. Below the full technical analysis, you can access historical research (7) for the relevant symbol.
