Objective and Systematic Chart Analysis

While working in London, I had the pleasure of meeting the late David Fuller and learning from his presentations. David noted that there are three possibilities when we analyze a chart.

  • First, we see what we WANT to see. This usually means our biases are interfering with our analysis and distorting our vision.
  • Second, we see what we THINK we see. This usually means we do not have a robust analytical process to objectively work through a chart.
  • Third, we see what is REALLY there. A systematic and objective approach to chart analysis will help us see what is really on the chart.

TrendInvestorPro is all about seeing what is really there. We cannot expect to get it right all of the time, but a systematic and objective approach will greatly improve our odds. After all, trading and investing are all about odds so we should do everything we can to improve these odds.

Tools of the Trade

First and foremost, I use Amibroker and Norgate data for system development, backtesting and explorations. It is one of the fastest, cleanest and most versatile platforms out there. There is quite a learning curve because it requires detailed coding.

Second, I use SharpCharts from StockCharts.com for layouts, annotation and chart analysis. I especially like their CandeGlance format for a quick overview.  

I also created the TIP Indicator Edge Plug-In for StockCharts ACP. This plugin includes 11 unique indicators for trend following, mean-reversion setups, trailing stops and volatility. See this article for complete explanations and chart examples.

Third, I use TradingView (affiliate link here) when following the markets during trading hours. They offer a wide array of indicators and data sources.
