by

This trading system is ideal for traders who only have little time to trade in the market during each session.

In some way, is similar to the Directional Movement Indicators developed by Welles Wilder. In general, Demark goal was to create an indicator that overcome the problems normally associated with other technical indicators and tools used to identify overbought and oversold trading conditions in the market.

This indicator tracks the market sentiment of an asset by comparing the asset’s present price with the price of the previous period. The basic concept behind the DI is that it can be used to detect changing market interest in an asset and by doing so identify market highs and lows.

Demark designed this forecasting method to predict the beginning of a trend in the medium and long term, and is based on specially designed coefficients.

Forex trading success

The financial markets such as the currency market (Forex), futures, commodities, stocks and other offer excellent opportunities to invest our capital and make money speculating on the price of these assets. But statistics tell us that the vast majority of those who venture into the market end up losing money.

Simple Breakout Trading Strategy

by

 

Introduction

This strategy is quite simple, nothing new really. It’s basically a simple method of breakouts based on two premises:

-When an asset is in a strong bullish/bearish trend it tends to stay in that way unless there is something in the market that makes the price change its direction. In the Forex market,for example, there are often major trends that last for weeks and months which can be used to trade with the breakouts that occur in the support/resistance. If the market is bullish we must look for breakouts of resistance but if the market is bearish we must look for breakouts of support.

We can see an example of this in the picture below:
