Alpha N Trend Indicator

The Alpha-N indicator is a very powerful oscillator. It is an oscillator which provides sharp signals for trend following. Many indicators available on the market tend to provide trend following signals very late: the trend is already well established when they give their signals, and this means that the chances are high that you enter close to or at the end of the trend. The Alpha-N indicator provides many good signals for short or long trades very often early in the trend allowing to catch the majority of the move. In our experience, it is the most accurate trend indicator. Combined with candlestick analysis and fundamental analysis, it is the basis of a solid trend following system. See the snapshots for examples on its accuracy.

How it works? (See illustrated examples of the power of the Alpha-N). The oscillator is represented at the bottom of the chart with green and red bars that oscillate around the zero line. When the price is in an uptrend, the oscillator shows green bars. When the price is in a downtrend, the oscillators shows red bars. When the oscillator changes sign, it is a signal to enter the market (trend changes direction). If the oscillator changes sign from positive (green bar) to negative (red bar), one has to sell. If the oscillator changes sign from negative (red bar) to positive (green bar), one has to buy. The recommended stop loss level is the level of the bar that has generated the change in sign, other stop loss approaches can be as well used.
