Advantage Lines Indicator

Advantage lines were created in an attempt to help eliminate whipsaw from a short-term moving average trading system. The main advantage of a short term moving average trading system is that it provides early entry signals to potential trading opportunities and trend reversals. This is also the disadvantage to the same system.

 

Due to the early entry notification, you receive a lot of false signals, better known as whipsaw. To help eliminate many of these false signals, Mr. Turner created the Advantage Lines, which significantly help in reducing whipsaw, but also somewhat delayed the early entry signals. To enhance and help in getting back the early entry signals, the "projection" part of this indicator actually projects forward where we anticipate tomorrow’s lines to be, and let us know if we are "anticipating" a crossover or not.

Ribbon Indicator

The Ribbon Indicator is a series of moving averages lines used to identify trends. By placing 8 moving averages calculated with differing time periods onto the same chart, we can see the relative strength of a market trend. The indicator is very useful in highlighting and confirming trend changes with the Bulls ‘n Bears Trading System.


Convergence and Divergence
The most important signals are taken from the spacing between the Ribbon lines in each group, not from crossovers. When shorter-term lines (yellow) and longer-term lines (red) within a group are parallel and close together, the group are largely in agreement. When the Ribbon lines widen apart, this signals divergent views within the group. When Ribbon lines converge, this is a sign that the group view is changing.


Trend Strength
Parallel long-term Ribbon lines signal long-term investor support and a strong trend; and short-term Ribbon lines tend to bounce off the long-term Ribbon lines group.


Trend Weakness: Both groups of Ribbon lines converge and fluctuate more than usual.


Trend Start: A change in price direction accompanied by expanding Ribbon lines in both groups.


Short-Term Reversals: The short-term group crossover, diverge and then again converge; while the long-term group remain parallel.

 

 

1. Short-term retracement gives a long entry signal

2. Another short-term retracement

3. Moving averages diverge, increasing the risk of a reversal

4. Strong retracement indicated changing short and medium-term views, but long-term view holds firm

5. Short-term retracement signals recovery

6. Moving averages diverge, warning of another reversal

 

The Ribbon Indicator is unique in Track 'n Trade because it can be viewed both in the indicator window or as a chart overlay.
