Technical Analysis (Part 15) – Direct Price Analysis (DPA): Ichimoku

July 6, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

japan-952026_1280

Part 14 showed us how useful and effective Pivots could be, especially for intraday trading. Part 15 introduces us to a very individual concept in technical analysis. Ichimoku is a unique trading tool for analysing any asset in any timeframe. To the outside observer, at first glance it looks a complete mess. Untangle it though and you have a straightforward and very powerful all round trading system that can seriously boost your trading results. This blog presents a simple overview of this system, building up the tools of Ichimoku using the S&P 500 Stock Indices as the base example, hopefully giving you an initial starting point on your journey into a unique part of technical analysis.

Chart of the day: 03/05/17 Vernalis Plc (LON:VER)

May 3, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

LON:VER currently trading at 19.672

Vernalis Plc has stayed on THE STOP HUNTER weekly Traders Club report now since Sep’16, making it one of the longest running ‘short’ stock ideas we’ve had over the last year. In that time it has produced over 100% return and just wont drop off! It is a good example to compliment my blog series on Technical Analysis as to how you can put the fundamentals and technicals together to make a solid trading strategy.

Fundamentally the outlook for the stock remains poor. On Stockopedia it holds just a StockRank of 1 and trades in the biotechnology / medical research sector that has also been under performing.

Technically the stock looks dire. It hit the radar last Sept as it broke through the Ichimoku cloud, backed up by various indicators. Trailing the stock down using a predefined technical analysis stop loss strategy / trade management strategy has kept the trade alive to generate the substantial gains. There have been various ‘sell in’ opportunities to take advantage of the continuing downward momentum.

Technically you would not favour the long side going forward. It would take a major fundamental event to turn the outlook on LON:VER bullish once more.

Short / Medium term technical levels (based off daily chart Fibonacci & Ichimoku levels):

Technical Analysis (Part 1): History, theory and philosophy

March 30, 2017 by The Stop Hunter 1 Comment

Financial Markets

Welcome to a new Technical Analysis blog series. This series will comprise 25 introductory articles covering all aspects of technical analysis, from the very basics through to some more advanced theory. Hopefully, these articles will whet your appetite for the subject and inspire you to take up technical analysis (if you haven’t already) and use it in your trading and investing. My aim is to enhance your existing knowledge and give you an insight into how technical analysis can be used as an effective trading tool, both to make and save you money and give you new roads to follow. This is a vast, often misunderstood subject, so the aim of this blog series is to make it more accessible by breaking down a few of those boundaries.

In this first article we explore the roots of technical analysis. It is vitally important for you to understand where technical analysis has come from and the thinking behind it, if you’re ever going to successfully use it in practice. [Read more…]
