Technical Indicators

The Cusp Catastrophe Fold Line: When calculated correctly, it works 90% of the time and almost nobody has heard of it. Have you…?

Self-Organized Criticality: Sand Pile Theory makes sense of complexity.

Moving Averages: Should you be looking at these at all?

Momentum Indicators: Are you using the right one the right way? Otherwise these indicators will get you every time.

Ichimoku Cloud: Forecasting clouds or cloud watching?

Relative Strength Index: Algos love this. It can pay to visualize it. But do you know what to look for?

Directional Movement and ADX: Navigating trends or just lost at sea?

Stochastics, MACD, and other Oscillators: Are you sure you want to look at these?

Support and Resistance levels: Only as good as your methodology for defining them.

Gann angles: Great in theory, and looks good...but does it work?

Fibonacci numbers: Ridiculed by all. But, perhaps there's something to them?

Elliot Waves and 20/20 hindsight: The best "wave count" always comes after the fact.

Forecast cycles or motorcycles: Predicting market turns or just spinning wheels?

Bollinger Bands, Regression Bands, Uni-Channel Bands, or Marching Bands: Which of these can help — and which ones won't?

Commodity Channel, Donchian Channel, Kelter Channel, or Disney Channel? What channel are you on?

Average True Range, Rate-of-Change, Narrow Range, or Home-on-the-Range? Be careful here. Misjudge this rodeo, and the bull will buck you off into the tumbleweeds.

On Balance Volume and other old-school Granville goodies: Old-school charm or just old news?

TRIN, Arms, or Legs: Do people even look at this anymore?

Pivots or Divots: Is your account hitting the green or just playing through the rough?

Chaos Theory, Cusp Catastrophe Theory, Sand Pile Theory, and other mystic stuff: Perhaps not as crazy as you might think.
