Indicating Ranges

Technical and Cyclical Strength of Financial Markets

The ebb and flow of financial markets are challenging to keep up with. Having reliable tools and various indicators to study can help you better prepare and assess trends, patterns, sentiment and overall conditions of financial markets. This preparation can make or break investment decisions.

The Indicating Ranges are a collection of high-level bullish, bearish, neutral indicators generated from proprietary computer models. This provides a high-level, point-in-time observation of a financial market's technical and cyclical condition upon the closing of each day, week, month, quarter and year.

While the Indicating Ranges span both short and long-term views, there are four primary indicators produced by the models that summarize market behavior: Intermediate Momentum, Intermediate Trend, Long-Term Trend and Long-Term Cyclical Strength.

The Indicating Ranges cater to both investors and traders, and can be used in combination with other propriety models (the Global Market Watch, the Energy Model, etc) as well as any additional technical analysis they may conduct.
The power of Indicating Ranges lies in its ability to translate computer analysis into an easy-to-understand status reading. A simple Bearish (negative), Neutral, and Bullish (positive) status helps users quickly grasp the overall mood and condition of the market at a given point in time, and if it correlates with other points of analysis.

When the Indicating Ranges are all BULLISH (especially across multiple time levels), this is a relatively strong signal to further research a market's price activity. Study the price charts (including the Energy Model and Stochastics) as well as the GMW to see if there is alignment with this signal from the Indicating Ranges. In addition, Socrates Pro users can also research the Timing Arrays to determine if a new bullish trend is beginning, or if a current trend is continuing, while they use the Reversal System for potential areas of technical resistance by researching the nearest Bullish Reversals above the market.

When the Indicating Ranges are all BEARISH (especially across multiple time levels), this is a relatively strong signal to further research a market's price activity. Study the price charts (including the Energy Model and Stochastics) as well as the GMW to see if there is alignment with this signal from the Indicating Ranges. In addition, Socrates Pro users can also research the Timing Arrays to determine if a new bearish trend is beginning, or if a current trend is continuing, while they use the Reversal System for potential areas of technical support by researching the nearest Bearish Reversals below the market.

Different Indicators for Different Perspectives

 

A number of proprietary models on Socrates Platform continuously update after each daily close of the current Week, Month, Quarter or Year (each is considered a unit of time), but the Indicating Ranges only update on the close of a unit of time. In other words, think of the Indicating Ranges as a timestamp view of a market's technical and cyclical condition at the end of (closing of) each Week, Month, Quarter, and Year.
 
The Daily time level is different of course, as each day of trade is a self-contained unit of time (a Day) with hundreds of closed loop sessions each year. Compare this to Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly Indicating Ranges that close 52, 12, 4 and 1 time per year (respectively).
 
Experienced and active market participants can follow the Daily Indicating Ranges as they monitor how a current week is trending with price charts, technical studies, the GMW, and whatever other other models and tools they may be using. The same logic applies when following the Daily and Weekly Indicating Ranges to see how the current month is trending. And so on.
