Price Action Channels

30 Jan 2020

Here are the brand new Price Action Channels.

As time passes and the portfolio grows not only in volume but in assets managed, I have found out that what's needed from technical analysis can't occupy so much time in decision making. Why? I hope you take into consideration other critical variables that affect the market, such as fundamentals, market sentiment, news, the world economy, and so on. Thus, I want to make obvious TA is not supposed to give you miracle formulas. In my investments, technicals count for about 33% of my decision formula.

Now about the indicator.

I'm a big fan of simplicity, and the fact is, everything is numbers and their universal rules.

So the approach we take is entirely following rules of statistics, taking into consideration the maximum amount of data to quantify and qualify moves(changes in price towards a single direction).

Once those moves are defined, we measure their average size, which is the average price range in one direction.

After that, we qualify them by using frequencies and figuring out how often each move happens, let's say:
Asset X, 10% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1%
Asset X, 14% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1,1%
Asset X, 21% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.3%
Asset X, 25% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.5%
Asset X, 15% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.6%
Asset X, 10% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1,7%
Asset X, 5% of the times when it moves upwards it's +2%

With that data, we establish the size of the range and the most reasonable boundaries and thresholds.

This is meant for channels. We consider there are 3 market conditions: Channels(Trending), Sideways, Spikes(abnormal price changes).
So if you try to apply this indicator for huge movements, like news related pumps and such it won't work as it's supposed, since our approach here is to define what's "normal", and such spikes are anomalies.
Sideway assets are doable but not advisable.

We plot all the numbers in a panel, so it's easily readable while trading, and you can fully control where it appears on your screen.

The indicator counts with following features in the Panel:

• Channel Sampling Size: Short-term, Mid-term, Long-term
  
• Risk Exposure: Minimum, Low, Modest, Medium, Moderate, High, Maximum
  
• Filtered Price Action
  
• Trading Assist
  
• X & Y Panel Position
  

Study Strong.
