Price Crossovers using Moving Averages
Moving averages can also be used to generate signals with simple price crossovers. A bullish signal is generated when prices move above the moving average. A bearish signal is generated when prices move below the moving average. Price crossovers can be combined to trade within the bigger trend. The longer moving average sets the tone for the bigger trend and the shorter moving average is used to generate the signals. One would look for bullish price crosses only when prices are already above the longer moving average. This would be trading in harmony with the bigger trend. For example, if price is above the 200-day moving average, chartists would only focus on signals when price moves above the 50-day moving average. Obviously, a move below the 50-day moving average would precede such a signal, but such bearish crosses would be ignored because the bigger trend is up. A bearish cross would simply suggest a pullback within a bigger uptrend. A cross back above the 50-day moving average would signal an upturn in prices and continuation of the bigger uptrend.
The next chart shows Emerson Electric (EMR) with the 50-day EMA and 200-day EMA. The stock moved above and held above the 200-day moving average in August. There were dips below the 50-day EMA in early November and again in early February. Prices quickly moved back above the 50-day EMA to provide bullish signals (green arrows) in harmony with the bigger uptrend. MACD(1,50,1) is shown in the indicator window to confirm price crosses above or below the 50-day EMA. The 1-day EMA equals the closing price. MACD(1,50,1) is positive when the close is above the 50-day EMA and negative when the close is below the 50-day EMA.
3. Counterparty risk (Risks Associated with ETF’s)
A synthetic ETF has counterparty risk, because the counterparty is contractually obligated to match the return on the index. The deal is arranged with collateral posted by the swap counterparty. A potential hazard is that the investment bank offering the ETF might post its own collateral, and that collateral could be of dubious quality. Furthermore, the investment bank could use its own trading desk as counterparty. These types of set-ups are not allowed under the European guidelines, Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS), so the investor should look for UCITS III-compliant funds.
MORNING STAR
This is a three-candlestick formation that signals a major bottom. It is composed of a first long black body, a second small real body, white or black, gapping lower to form a star. These two candlesticks define a basic star pattern. The third is a white candlestick that closes well into the first session’s black real body. Third candlestick shows that the market turned bullish now.
Recognition Criteria:
1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see a long black candlestick in the first day.
3. Then we see a small body on the second day gapping in the direction of the previous downtrend.
4. Finally we see a white candlestick on the third day.
Explanation:
We see the black body in a falling market suggesting that the bears are in command. Then a small real body appears implying the incapacity of sellers to drive the market lower. The strong white body of third day proves that bulls have taken over. An ideal Bullish Morning Star Pattern preferably has a gap before and after the middle candlestick. The second gap is rare, but lack of it does not take away from the power of this formation.
Important Factors:
The stars may be more than one, two or even three.
The color of the star and its gaps are not important.
Golden Cross
A Golden Cross is when a shorter term moving average crosses above a longer term moving average, for example a 20 day SMA crossing over a 50 day SMA. A golden cross indicates a bullish trend, especially when it is coupled with higher trading volume. As well as being a trend indicator, the longer term moving average becomes a support line as the price rises.
The chart below shows a 20/50 SMA Golden cross:
20 SMA is in Red
50 SMA is in Blue
Form 10-Q~ SEC Filings Explained
Form 10-Q, (also known as a 10-Q or 10Q) is a quarterly report mandated by the United States federalSecurities and Exchange Commission, to be filed by publicly traded corporations.
Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it's an SEC filing that must be filed quarterly with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It contains similar information to the annual form 10-K, however the information is generally less detailed, and the financial statements are generally unaudited. Information for the final quarter of a firm's fiscal year is included in the 10-K, so only three 10-Q filings are made each year.
These reports generally compare last quarter to the current quarter and last years quarter to this years quarter. The SEC put this form in place to facilitate better informed investors. The form 10-Q must be filed within 40 days for large accelerated filers and accelerated filers or 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter for all other registrants (formerly 45 days)
Actively managed ETFs
Actively managed ETFs (AMETFs) are quite recent in the United States. The first one was offered in March 2008, but it was liquidated in October 2008. The actively managed ETFs approved to date are fully transparent, publishing their current securities portfolios on their web sites daily. However, the SEC has indicated that it is willing to consider allowing actively managed ETFs that are not fully transparent in the future.[4]
The fully transparent nature of existing ETFs means that an actively managed ETF is at risk from arbitrage activities by market participants who might choose to front run its trades[citation needed]. The initial actively traded equity ETFs have addressed this problem by trading only weekly or monthly, however today, actively managed ETFs trade at the discretion of the manager and to date, there have been no instances of front running. Actively traded debt ETFs, which are less susceptible to front-running, trade their holdings more frequently.[30]
Actively managed ETFs have grown faster in their first three years of existence than index ETFs did in their first three years of existence. However, as track records develop, many see actively managed ETFs as a significant competitive threat to actively managed mutual funds
Moving Average Lengths and Timeframes
The length of the moving average depends on the analytical objectives. Short moving averages (5-20 periods) are best suited for short-term trends and trading. Chartists interested in medium-term trends would opt for longer moving averages that might extend 20-60 periods. Long-term investors will prefer moving averages with 100 or more periods.
Some moving average lengths are more popular than others. The 200-day moving average is perhaps the most popular. Because of its length, this is clearly a long-term moving average. Next, the 50-day moving average is quite popular for the medium-term trend. Many chartists use the 50-day and 200-day moving averages together. Short-term, a 10-day moving average was quite popular in the past because it was easy to calculate. One simply added the numbers and moved the decimal point.
THREE INSIDE UP (Bullish)
The Bullish Three Inside Up Pattern is another name for the Confirmed Bullish Harami Pattern. The third day is confirmation of the bullish trend reversal.
Recognition Criteria:
1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see a Bullish Harami Pattern in the first two days.
3. Then we see a white candlestick on the third day with a higher close than the second day.
Explanation:
The first two days of this pattern is simply the Bullish Harami Pattern, and the third day confirms the reversal suggested by the Bullish Harami Pattern, since it is a white candlestick closing with a new high for the last three days.
Important Factors:
The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still a confirmation in the form of a white candlestick with a higher close or a gap-up is suggested.
SEC Filings Explained ~ Form 4
Form 4 is a United States SEC filing that relates to insider trading. Every director, officer or owner of more than ten percent of a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a statement of ownership regarding such security. The initial filing is on Form 3 and changes are reported on Form 4. The Annual Statement of beneficial ownership of securities is on Form 5. The forms contain information on the reporting person's relationship to the company and on purchases and sales of such equity securities.
Form 4 is stored in SEC's EDGAR database. EDGAR is Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System. It is a registered trademark of the SEC.
A Form 4 must be filed before the end of the second business day following a change in ownership of securities or derivative securities (including the exercise or grant of stock options) for individuals subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
BULLISH BREAKAWAY
There is a downtrend but we also see that the prices bottom out and level off now. The result is a long white candlestick that however does not close the initial downward gap of the first and second days. This suggests a short-term reversal.
Recognition Criteria:
1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see a long black candlestick in the first day.
3. Then we see a black candlestick on the second day with a gap below the first day.
4. Bearish mood continues on the third and fourth days as evidenced by lower consecutive closes.
5. Finally however, we see a long white candlestick on the fifth day characterized by a closing price inside the gap caused by the first and second days.
Explanation:
The Bullish Breakaway Pattern appears during a downtrend and it shows that selling accelerated to the point of an oversold market. It starts with a long black day then involves a gap in the direction of the downtrend followed by three consecutively lower price days. So far, all days in this pattern are black with the exception of the third day, which can be either be black or white. The three days after the gap are similar to the Three Black Crows pattern since their highs and lows are each consecutively lower. It is by now apparent that the downtrend has accelerated with a big gap and then starts to fizzle, however it still continues. There is an evident slow deterioration of the downtrend suggested by this pattern. Finally, we see a burst in the opposite direction, which completely recovers the previous three days' price action. The gap is not filled which points out to the weakness of the reversal. This is a short-term reversal.
Important Factors:
A confirmation on the sixth day is recommended in the form of a white candlestick, a large gap up or a higher close, to be sure about the reversal.
LONG LEGGED DOJI
Long Legged Doji is a doji characterized with very long shadows. It shows the indecision of the buyers and sellers. It is one of the important reversal signals.
Recognition Criteria:
1. Market is characterized by a bearish mood and downtrend.
2. Then we see a Doji that gaps in the direction of the downtrend.
3. The real body is either a horizontal line or it is significantly small.
4. Both of the upper and lower shadows are long and they are almost equal in length.
Explanation:
Long Legged Doji shows that there is a great deal of confusion and indecision in the market. This particular pattern shows that the prices moved well above and below the day's opening level, however they finally closed virtually at the same level with the opening price. The end result is only a little change from the opening price despite the whole volatility and excitement during the day that clearly reflects that the market lost its sense of direction.
Important Factors:
Long Legged Doji is more important at tops.
Long Legged Doji is a single candlestick pattern. It requires confirmation in the form of a move opposite to the prior trade on the next trading day.
Varieties of ETFs
The first ETF was the S
Below is a table in order of the sum of the 3, 6, and 12 month returns for individual country ETFs. Each column represents returns for various timeframes and the percent each ETF is above (or below) the 200 day moving averages as of January's close. This list is tracked monthly on the right hand side of my blog Scott's Investments.
Note that all country ETFs are above their 200 day moving average except PGJ (China), GXC (China), FXI (China), EWP (Spain), EWG (Germany), and EWI (Italy). This is a significant change versus last month when none of the ETFs were below the 200 day SMA.
The top 5 based on the sum of the 3-6-12 month returns are below. There are some familiar names: RSX (Russia), [[[TUR]] (Turkey), EIS (Israel), EWZ (Brazil), and ECH (Chile). At the end of December the top 5 were the same 5 ETFs in slightly different order.
One potential strategy investors could use would be to purchase the top ETFs based on the sum of their returns over 3, 6, and 12 months. Or, one could purchase ETFs based solely on 6 month returns (a strategy featured on ETF Screen). An additional twist would be to only purchase the top performing ETFs if they are also above the 200 day moving average.
