Topics of Discussion

Elder Impulse System

Developed by Dr. Alexander Elder, the Elder Impulse System integrates trend and momentum by combining the 13-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the MACD Histogram. Price bars are color-coded to reflect the prevailing market condition:

Green Bars:
Both the 13-day EMA and MACD Histogram are rising, indicating strengthening bullish momentum. This environment typically favors initiating or maintaining long positions.

Red Bars:
Both components are declining, signaling bearish momentum. Traders may consider exiting long positions, initiating short trades, or adopting a defensive stance.

Blue/Neutral Bars:
Mixed momentum or consolidation is present, suggesting a lack of clear direction. During such periods, waiting for confirmation in the broader trend is generally advisable.

Ichimoku Cloud

The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) offers a comprehensive view of trend direction, momentum, and key levels of support and resistance.

Key interpretations:

Price above the Cloud:
Indicates a bullish environment, with the Cloud acting as a support zone.

Price below the Cloud:
Reflects bearish conditions, where the Cloud serves as resistance.

Price within the Cloud:
Suggests indecision or consolidation, often signaling a range-bound market.

Additional insights:

A green Cloud (Leading Span A above Leading Span B) supports an uptrend, whereas a red Cloud indicates a downtrend.

A thicker Cloud represents stronger support or resistance.

A bullish crossover of the Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen) above the Base Line (Kijun-sen), especially above the Cloud, strengthens bullish conviction.

A bearish crossover below the Cloud reinforces downside momentum.

The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) above price confirms bullish sentiment, while remaining below price validates a bearish outlook.

Parabolic SAR (PULSar)

The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) indicator identifies trend direction and potential reversal points through a series of plotted dots:

Dots below price: Bullish trend continuation.

Dots above price: Bearish trend continuation.

Dot reversal (switching sides): Potential trend reversal, often used for trailing stop adjustments or exit timing.

Heikin Ashi

Heikin Ashi candlesticks smooth price fluctuations, helping traders identify trend strength more clearly.

Interpretation includes:

Long green candles without lower wicks: Strong, sustained uptrend.

Long red candles without upper wicks: Strong, persistent downtrend.

Small bodies with wicks on both sides: Market indecision and potential reversal signals.

Supertrend

The Supertrend indicator, based on the Average True Range (ATR), provides clear buy and sell signals while functioning as a dynamic trailing stop.

Buy signal: Indicator line shifts below price and turns green.

Sell signal: Indicator line shifts above price and turns red.

The Supertrend line also serves as a trailing stop-loss, adjusting with price movements to help lock in profits.

Conclusion

Understanding these unconventional technical indicators provides a deeper perspective on market behavior beyond simple moving averages or price patterns. When applied together, they help identify trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversal zones with higher confidence.
