• Master chart pattern analysis by recognizing market stages
  All market fluctuations are the result of human emotions: fear and greed. Every skilled and experienced trader should know the market stages and perceive whether the fear or greed affects the market.
• How false breakouts can be reduced
  False breakouts represent one of the most sophisticated problems for traders. This article discovers how false breakouts can be reduced with the help of Autochartist.
• Support and resistance nuances of patterns
  Every trader should understand the market trend and know chart analysis to enter the market in proper time. Support and resistance levels are of great importance as they form patterns and therefore become the basis of chart analysis.
• Difference between reversal and continuation patterns
  There are 2 types of patterns to analyze: reversal and continuation patterns. A trader should know how to determine the features of both types.
• Understanding historical pattern tendencies
  Chart patterns are one — if not the oldest — methods of chart and price analysis traders use. In fact, the popularity of chart patterns continues to rise and that's for one reason: they work.
• Understanding Autochartist pattern result column headings
  The chart pattern results of Autochartist are accompanied by a number of headings that give the trader insight into the quality of the pattern. Each of these headings should be studied.

• Autochartist is a trading assistant that scans online trading information and alerts you to trading opportunities. It is not a trading system; it is a program that enables you to systematically look for trades.
• 1. Autochartist alerts you to trades every 15 minutes. You can use these alerts to begin your market-cycle analysis.
• 2. Autochartist will continue to alert you to a pattern as it develops; these alerts are called "re-alerts" or "continuing alerts" If the pattern changes to the point where it is no longer valid then Autochartist will not re-alert you.
• 3. When you start using the program, it is crucial that you set up the search criteria: your search tabs must include your preferred symbols and intervals.
• 4. Сhart patterns are simply dynamic and static lines and levels (support, resistance, trend lines) that come together to create a pattern.
• 5. Good alerts rank high in the Uniformity and Clarity columns.
• 6. Positions can be opened and closed in your trading platform only: MetaTrader 4, Systematic and Alpari Direct.
• 7. Both "continuing" patterns and "reversal" may develop differently from the way it was forecasted. These are simply likelihoods based on the patterns, trends, and other price actions that Autochartist analyzes.
• 8. Complete Patterns are patterns that have broken or "triggered", while Emerging Patterns are patterns that are still developing. To use your time wisely, refer to the Emerging Patterns section to be proactive about trade entries and refer to the Complete Patterns section to get assistance with trade management.
• 9. Autochartist identifies chart patterns using an agreed computer algorithm which reads profitable and unprofitable patterns in due time.
• 10. You can enter the program using your investor password.

Daily Forex Update: CAD/CHF

24.05.2012 16:40

By: Dima Chernovolov

Autochartist has recently identified the Ascending Triangle chart pattern on the daily CAD/CHF charts. The overall Quality of this chart pattern is rated at the 4 bar level as a result of the low Initial Trend (rated at the 2 bar level), below-average Uniformity (5 bars) and stronger Clarity (6 bars). This chart pattern continues the preceding sharp monthly upward price impulse from the major long-term support at the round price level 0.8000. Both of the connecting points of the upper resistance trendline of this chart pattern (points A and B on the chart below) formed when the pair reversed down from the strong resistance at 0.9405 (which had been reversing the pair down over the last few months, as can be seen on the second chart below). The pair is expected to rise further toward the upper resistance trendline of this Ascending Triangle.

As is shown on the following Key Levels chart, Autochartist has recently identified the horizontal resistance level 0.9405 of the type Approach (with Significance rated at the 4 bar level) on the daily CAD/CHF charts. The pair is expected to rise toward this resistance level – which also confirms the bullish forecast for the above Ascending Triangle.

Weekly Commodities Update: US Crude Oil

25.03.2012 22:45

By Jonah S. Ford

US crude oil futures are poised to move higher this week to further Friday’s strong gains. A steady sideways trend holding the $105 per barrel level established near term support and formed a “flag” chart pattern in the process. Friday’s surge pushed through resistance, triggering a buy signal on the Autochartist 240-minute chart.

The breakout from the flag appears to confirm that this will be a continuation pattern, meaning the initial trend higher which carried the market above $105 prior to the consolidation will continue. The pattern proved very consistent over the 21 candles completed during its formation, and scores high across the board with an overall quality ranking of 9 bars. The 10-bar initial trend reading was a strong indication that the breakout would occur to the upside and this was confirmed by the rally above the $107 resistance level.

The projected price target calls for a minimum move to $108.42 per barrel to complete the move. The minor setback going into Fridays close appears to be a classic retest of the top of the flag, which allows traders to enter on Monday at or near the level of the initial breakout.

US crude oil continues to severely lag the Brent crude oil futures, which are the predominant contract for the European oil market. With a nearly $20 per barrel discount to Brent, the WTI futures are well positioned to rally. Even a steady price in the Brent contract is liable to encourage speculative buying in the US market, as it is perceived to be underpriced relative to the rest of the global oil market.

In the event  that US crude cannot sustain the rally from the current level, major technical support remains at the bottom of the flag chart pattern near the $103 per barrel level.
