TRAINING ON TRADING CENTER

Trading the Forex Exchange market, commodities or indices via CFDs, Futures and Options is very different than trading classic stocks or bonds. Training hard before start trading is absolutely essential.
1. Identifying Chart Patterns
A chart pattern is a distinct formation on the chart of financial-traded securities. There are many different types of patterns. When a chart pattern is confirmed –there is a high probability that a certain (upward / downward) price movement will occur in the near future. A chart pattern is not able to predict with certainty future price movements but it can indicate a high probability trade.
Two (2) Categories of Chart Patterns (Reversal and Continuation)
There are two major chart pattern categories: the Reversal and the Continuation chart patterns. Reversal patterns are signaling the altering of the current trend while continuation patterns signaling the continuation of the current trend.

2. The Leverage Formula

Money Management is everything when Trading Derivatives. The way we manage our funds should always be oriented towards our current capabilities and our future expected needs.

3. ΔMP and Σ(ΔMP) Indicators
ΔMP is the latest technical analysis tool by TradingCenter. ΔMP is an indicator that can be used on any financial asset and almost on any chart timeframe.
The Importance of ΔMP
ΔMP expresses the divergence between the closing price and the mean price. Positive ΔMP values in a row indicate that the price of an asset continuously closes near the highest intraday price. That is a sign of a positive momentum regarding the dynamics of intraday demand/supply. In general, when ΔMP shows highly positive values for a certain period, the odds of winning for that period are better.
Calculation
This is how ΔMP works:
ΔMP reflects the daily difference between the Closing Price and the Mean Price
□ Where:
Mean Price = (Daily High + Daily Low) / 2
ΔMP = {(Closing Price – Mean Price) / Mean Price} %

4. Trading Center Indicator (TCI)
Trading Center using a wide trading experience created a new trading indicator called TCI. Trading Center Indicator (TCI) can be used to analyze any financial traded asset in any timeframe, both backward and forwards.
TCI Concept: “Looking backward to identify what to buy and then looking forward to deciding when to buy it”
TCI takes into account several daily activity numbers as opening, high and low price, and trading volume/value. TCI is formulated by two moving averages that incorporate all the above trading activity data. Moving Average (1) is producing a daily valuation while Moving Average (2) is correcting the results. Each moving average is measured separately.
Looking Backward and Forward
The two moving averages which form the basic TCI structure can be set up to a desired backward or forward time frame.
(1) When TCI is set backward then overbought/oversold levels may be identified
(2) When TCI is set forward then the best timing to execute trades may be forecasted
