A constant theme in my Bollinger Bands materials is the use of a set of non-correlated indicators to aid in the interpretation of price action and Bollinger Bands. There are many possibilities to select from including trend, momentum, supply/demand and psychological indicators. The “one-from-column-A, one from-column-B” method provides the most robust approach in that it gathers the maximum amount of information with the least amount of duplication.

A large number of indicators have been created to clarify the relationship between supply and demand in the markets. Some are derived from price, some are based on sentiment and some are based on volume. I believe that the most important key to understanding this dynamic balance is volume. Volume, and the indicators created from it, constitute an under-utilized data set that offers the investor fertile ground for exploration in the already well-turned field of security price analysis. In this 1 ½ hour class I present the most important volume indicators and how to utilize them.

Indicators Covered:

• 50-day Volume Moving Average
• Normalized Volume – %v
• On Balance Volume
• Volume-Price Trend
• Intraday Intensity
• Accumulation Distribution
• Negative Volume Index
• Positive Volume Index
• Money Flow Index
• Volume-Weighted MACD
• 20-day OBV Oscillator
• 21-day Normalized Intraday Intensity Oscillator

Teach an Old Indicator New Tricks, or the Commodity Channel Index — Not for Commodities Only

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is included in most technical analysis charting programs, but it has yet to enjoy the popularity of an RSI or an MACD. Some traders may be misled by the name into thinking the CCI applies only to commodities, but the larger problem with its acceptance as an analytic technical tool rests with the confusion about how to use and interpret the CCI.

In this session, Barbara shows you how to clear away this confusion and tap into the potential of this powerful momentum indicator. The CCI is as effective with stocks, indices, and mutual funds as it is with commodities. Barbara has had the benefit of interviewing the creator of the CCI, Donald Lambert, and will share some of the insights he provided about the purpose and application of the indicator. Although it was originally developed as a programming experiment linked to cycles, users found the CCI to be much more versatile. Barbara tells you how to unleash the power of the CCI by providing examples of several different trading techniques including how to use the CCI as a leading indicator.

Designing Neural Networks for Financial Forecasting

New neural network users often follow a predictable pattern. They feed the network one year of data and a haphazard roster of technical studies including the RSI, MACD, ADX, three moving averages, Stochastics and any other handy data. These new users then expect the network to generate accurate predictions thirty days into the future. They are dismayed and perplexed when they discover that the forecasts are worthless.

Ed’s workshop covers the human brain and artificial neural networks. You will learn the proper steps you must take to generate meaningful results. He shows you how to select appropriate inputs and how to prepare or preprocess and otherwise manipulate your data prior to training your software. He teaches you how to extract the test data and how to train the neural net to the correct accuracy level. He describes network architectures and activation functions and shows you what to do if the network will not train to the desired accuracy level. Finally, Ed discusses some of the classic traps which await the beginning neural network user such as colinearity, price shocks caused by such incidents as the Persian Gulf War, and the onset of option trading in a specific item. He also describes the effects of other non-typical market events. Anyone who has contemplated the use of neural net software will benefit from this workshop.

Construction & Application of the MACD Indicator

In this workshop, the man who developed the MACD indicator teaches you the intricacies of this popular and effective indicator.

Gerald begins this session with a description of the basic construction of the MACD indicator and the principles underlying the patterns the MACD describes. He shows you the basic buy and sell signals generated by the MACD, and then builds upon those signals to demonstrate how to use longer and shorter term MACD lines to refine buy and sell signals. He also shows you how to adjust MACD signals for market trend.

Gerald also covers stop-loss techniques and the application of cyclical phases. He shows how to use MACD to determine when very strong market-up moves are in progress. Finally, Gerald describes some of the other lesser-known techniques associated with MACD.
