Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

In order to reduce the lag in simple moving averages, technicians often use exponential moving averages (also called exponentially weighted moving averages). exponential moving average reduce the lag by applying more weight to recent prices relative to older prices.

The weighting applied to the most recent price depends on the specified period of the moving average.

The shorter the exponential moving averageأ¢â‚¬â„¢s period, the more weight that will be applied to the most recent price.

For example: a 10-period exponential moving average weighs the most recent price 18.18% while a 20-period EMA weighs the most recent price 9.52%. As we will see, the calculating and exponential moving average is much harder than calculating an simple moving average.

The important thing to remember is that the exponential moving average puts more weight on recent prices.

exponential Moving Average CalculationExponential Moving Averages can be specified in two ways - as a percent-based exponential moving average or as a period-based exponential moving average.

Fibonacci Extension

Fibonacci Extensionwhat is fibonacci and how to use it in the world of FX?Leonardo Fibonacci was a 13th century mathematician who noted that there are certain ratios that tend to occur repeatdly in nature .

The common ones that he identified were 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%. For example, the distance from your fingertips to your wrist is 38.2% of the distance from your fingertips to your elbow.

There is overwhelming evidence of Fibonacci ratios operating throughout nature.These are not always perfect, but surprisengly they work more than just often!! Many people have argued about why these work, but my opinion is that all the large institutions use them, so you might as well buy or sell at the same levels that they do and if these levels donأ¢â‚¬â„¢t hold you can get out with a small loss.

ForexGen`s Channels

There are 2 types of channels in the forex market :

1-If you want to create a down channel , it may also be called a descending channel, you can simply draw a line at the same angle as the downtrend and after that move the line to a new place where it can reach the most recent both valley.

For the both channels ,it should be done at the same time to you to create the trend line.

It may be a sell signal when the prices hit the up trend line and it can be a buy signal when the prices hits the down trend line .

Trend Lines With ForexGen

Support and Resistance With ForexGen

The concepts of support and resistance are undoubtedly two of the most important and highly discussed attributes of technical analysis and they are often regarded as a subject that is complex by those who are just learning to trade.Most experienced traders will be able to tell many stories about how certain price levels tend to prevent traders from pushing the price of an underlying asset in a certain direction.

Most technical traders incorporate the power of various technical indicators such as moving averages, to aid in predicting future short-term momentum, but these traders never fully realize the ability these tools have for identifying levels of support and resistance

scillators Of ForexGen

The Stochastic Oscillator comes in 3 flavors:

Fast, Slow, and Full.

The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator designed to show the relation of the current close price relative to the high/low range over a given number of periods using a scale of 0-100.

It is based on the assumption that in a rising market the price(s) will close near the high of the range and in a declining market the price(s) will close near the low of the range. The Full Stochastic Oscillator is calculated by the formula:Fast %K = ((Today’s Close - Lowest Low in %K Periods) / (Highest High in %K Periods - Lowest Low in %K Periods))
