J. Welles Wilder - 1978
3
The Relative Strength Index was developed by J. Welles Wilder and published in a 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. It has become one of the most popular oscillator indices. Wilder recommends using a 14 period smoothing.
Wilder thought that "failure swings" above 70 and below 30 on the RSI are strong indications of market reversals for overbought and oversold conditions.
My study shows that divergence between RSI and price action is a very strong indication that a market turning point is imminent. Bearish divergence occurs when price makes a new high but the RSI makes a lower high, thus failing to confirm. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a new low but RSI makes a higher low.
Relative Strength Indicator

The RSI is a ratio of the average points gained during “up” periods over the past n periods divided by the average points lost during “down” periods over the same period.
The formula is: (n) for our purposes is 14
RS = Avg. price change on up days ÷ Avg. price change on down days.
The RS value is then entered into this formula to give you the relative strength index:
RSI = 100 – [100 ÷ (1 + RS)]
Relative Strength Index - “Internal Strength”

My study shows that divergence between the RSI and price is a very strong indication that a market turning point is imminent. Bearish divergence occurs when price makes a new high but the RSI makes a lower high, thus failing to confirm. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a new low but the RSI makes a higher low.
What we covered…..

Success is neither magical nor
mysterious. Success is the natural
consequence of consistently
applying basic fundamentals.
How do we decide to enter & exit
Our mission – Identify who is winning the battle by using Japanese Candlestick charting 23
We enter & exit with candlesticks
In the case of Chipotle – a bearish reversal candle 24
The Bulls & Bears always leave signals
On a scale of 0-5, a Bear Sash is a level 4
25
Candlestick misconception
We do not trade on candlestick signals alone
Candlesticks confirm other patterns or indicators
26
Candlesticks tell you what the market is doing now Candlesticks do not predict the future

The psychological edge Entry/exit techniques worth millions
Rule #1 - Traders typically use one calculation to decide to enter or exit a trade. I say, get a second opinion, by waiting one bar before putting on the trade, entry or exit. If you are trading a 15 minute chart, wait one 15 minute bar for confirmation. If you are trading a daily chart, wait one daily bar for confirmation. “Getting a second opinion”
Rule #2 – At the time you enter the trade, place both the stop and exit point(s). All of your calculations should be completed prior to entering the trade, the point at which you are most objective. “Eliminate the emotion”
Rule #3 – Use candlestick patterns to confirm entry/exit. “Let the market communicate to you”

Rising Three Methods “The market is taking a rest from battle”
Basic rule: Market in up trend First candle is a (up/green) long real body Followed by a series of small bodies (5 max) (red or green) which are retracing within the first candle (including the shadows) And finally a (up/green) candle, usually long (although not a requirement) that closes above the close of the first candle Market meaning: Bulls back in control Support/Resistance: Not used

Falling Three Methods “The bear chase begins”
Basic rule: Market in down trend First candle is a (down/red) long real body Followed by a series of small bodies (5 max) (red or green) which are retracing within the first candle (including the shadows) And finally a (down/red) candle, usually long (although not a requirement) that closes below the close of the first candle Market meaning: Bulls back in control Support/Resistance: Not used
