Crude oil price as this morning on March 10, 2022, around 9:00 A.M. EST.

 Beware of AI or the so called artificial intelligence trading software solutions. While such claims are based in certain amount of criteria, not so well trained investors can fail to win or can fall on a big trap.

In the example below, MULN is a stock that Yesterday showed some move but failed to reach the $2.00 mark, then went down today, back to less than a $1.00. Lets see what happens on out chart above. We can notice on out indicators, that since the stock was around $11.33, it was a short. So, a big, huge and large run to the down side.

Why the AI or artificial intelligence solutions gave this instrument on its scans? It was because the move. Now, a lot of investors were looking at fancy bells and whistles and at lower time frames, but while looking at the daily chart, we could see the real move. Also, it was happening for a long time, not the move of a day or two.

It was also necessary the implementation of good custom made technical indicators, an even with that, you can see a lower custom made indicator with certain criteria, to make  sure the most important stuff was taken into account. The white arrows shows the ticker symbol and the two days the so called AI software gave regarding the instrument.

There is a big difference when it comes to spend money in expensive and useless software, while some brokers have good solutions, easy to code and adapt to any market conditions, such in the case of the platform ThinkOrSwim.

Due to the latest challenges, such as the pandemic, increase in housing costs, lumber, crude oil, war issues, and other not know results, the market has been very active.

So, when it comes to profit from such of a move, it is very important to design a system of technical indicators, that can be very well adapted to fundamentals and the reaction to news and overnight action. Therefore, we have created even our own dedicated time frame in out chart.

Then a carefully design of technical indicator types and settings, specially custom created features, have been deployed, to create a tool or a system of tools that can allow us to grab a big chunk of the profits, regardless of the direction of the market.

Now, you can notice where we have pointed the arrows on the charts, to see the signals, the moves, the difference in price, and the longer moving averages that confirm our trades. A nice historical trace of actions and what is expected in the future, specially when the new signal is born, to take the ride.

We will be watching such of a system on the live futures and stock market, and will even test with Forex too. Very expensive back testing tools and charting platforms are a great toy to play with, but in real time market conditions, those become useless.

Lets see how it goes. For educational purposes only and not intended as a financial advice of any kind.

As a bonus post for the readers of this blog, the chart above shows on the prior post or topic, that with a little more of creativity, technical indicators can be used for a better visualization.

As shown, our Charles Schwab intelligent portfolio is plotted as explained on prior post. Then we convert the study as a candles, few other technical indicators to track the trend, and even buy and sell signals. As this is a long term portfolio, we just then use a longer moving average of choice and the signals are used to track how it is performing.

Analyzing charts for the latest moves on the market or even the unknown, seems to be a very complicated task for some. A good set of technical indicators can lead to at least, a better way to visualize the past, the present and a possible future.

On the daily chart above, we use for a example the fund XLY. We plot a chart of the fund itself, also plot the sum of each of the components of such of a fund, and the relative strengths. To all three of them, we plot a moving average of type and length of choice, that makes a lot of sense.

There is a main idea and a side plate on this. We are making a custom fund, that you can make with the collection of your portfolio holdings, being stock, etf's or the collection of both. So, we will also post the formula or thinkscript code, as we are using the ThinkOrSwim platform for this purpose and vizualization.

There is a lot more on the chart, but the main idea is to show you how you can plot a chart of fund, made of different stock, so you can build your own index or system of choice for your dedicated trading plan.

The formula is as follows, and you can declare it as a lower indicator if you want, but our preference:

plot fund = close("AMZN") + close("TSLA") + close("MCD") + close("NKE") + close("HD") + close("LOW") + close("SBUX") + close("TGT") + close("BKNG") + close("TJX");

Use any stock of choice or as explained above.

We are watching the market on the E-Mini S&P 500 index Futures Mar 2022 on a 4 hr chart. There seems to be some resistance at that time frame and levels. A cross over that, will show the bullish push, so the market will continue its recover from a bottom.

The S&P 500 behaved today. Now we can notice it is at a resistance point of a WMA 200 and on the Relative Strength, while upending, it is testing its support. With that said, it is easy to notice that the market still strong and in an uptrend, but now it has reached the point of needing another day or so to see what will come up next.

Charles Schwab Stock has come down from $96.00 to the $90.00 range. We se a great opportunity to grow. In our case, 2,000 shares will do great in the long term or the time it will take to go back up. A nice relative strength and a good set of technical indicators will help to protect our position.

You can watch and practice such of a move with Paper or Simulated money accounts, if you can not afford to take the move. This illustration is for educational purposes only and not intended as a financial advice of any kind.

Looking for ways to adapt out strategies to the latest moves of the market is something easy, but it needs to be done very accurately. There are certain technical indicators that can do a better job than others, if used or deployed properly. That will take into consideration the settings such as length, plot type and kind.

On this presentation, we used some custom made relative strength indicators, with specific moving average types, to monitor both, the price and the lower indicators trend. In that way, one indicator can support another, while at the same time, give us with a very accurate picture of the latest. From there, it is up to us to monitor for entry or exits when the moves get into our side of the position.

A great custom volume lower indicator can also help to monitor when such moves are very active, an action that can lead to potential profits when done properly. Regardless of the market conditions, having a clear picture that can give us a great sense of orientation, the only thing better than that is a GPS.

As always, a good set of custom technical indicators can allow us to visualize, real time actions on price move. As shown, while in an uptrend, Tesla stock on a small move to the downside, good enough to be noticeable by well known or popular financial news providers.

On a daily chart and on a 3 minutes chart, such of a visual presentation, shows exactly when it happen or will happen, so investors can act accordingly.

Machine learning and automated systems serve a purpose, but a good analysis shows that most of the time, the main goal is not the exact price, but rather, in what director prices is heading or moving to.

Beware of some stock recommendation services. While some seems to make the task of searching for a good candidate very easy, that easy you can lose your money. Therefore, our strategy of always develop tools that can lead us to review, and when possible at the time and if not ahead of the move.

Here for example, a daily chart of a stock that was recommended weeks ago by some brand name or well know service provider. It happens, that even when TV analysts speak, we need to put those into the test, not to jump right ahead, expecting to move. Such of a strategy, expose your investment to a very high volatility and uncertainty, so the money can  be gone in no time.

The idea is to avoid major loses or to cut them in time, or to produce gains that will enhance your trading experience and or portfolio. As above, our indicator shows that such of a predicted uptrend move was not going to happen, and it kept its plot all of the time, up to todays date. Later on, the upper indicator shows that in the near future, the lower indicator has been and still it correct.

Here, a chart of  Dogecoin and Relative Strength to compare with the Volume Profile. In an agreement, both indicator shows the true move of the cryptocurrency in real time. A good way to test any instrument you are investing in.

The lack of volume and investors interest the price, while it seems confusing for some, who enter the market to then get caught in some loses. With the system, we can see where the general interest is at, when it comes to price, then confirm with the Relative Strength, or vice versa.

The latest market moves and challenges need some really good tools and technical indicators. Therefore, we have to implement them, in a very well taught way.  For this illustration, the RS or relative strength, is showing a move over an average of a certain length, so we can track only when the trend is up, in the case of long entries.

The same if we wan to short the market or any given instrument. Not only some labels that track the rating level of the comparing fund, etf or index, but crosses and levels when those profitable crosses happen. For a great percentage of return on an investment, and the best protection on losses, we are testing to see how the market and its behavior can leads us to profits.
