Аutochartist Indicator for МetaTrader 4:

  • A state-of-the-art offer for a trader;
  • Visually-pleasing and efficient with a graphic display of patterns and trends;
  • Access to a range of analytical forecasts.

The Autochartist Indicator plugin is integrated into the MetaTrader terminal and only differs from the main application in that it will show currency pair patterns only for open windows.

The chart will show the 5 most recent patterns, both complete and emerging:

  • The yellow lines are emerging patterns. If you move the mouse over these patterns, a popup will appear that has a number ending in .em.
  • They blue lines are completed patterns. These have a popup with a number ending in .cp.
  • The arrows represent either a bullish or bearish pattern (these again will have a .cp or .em) and they will describe WHICH pattern they refer to (for example, channel down).
  • The single horizontal grey is the prediction line (where the price is expected to break through for completed patterns).

  • Autochartist is a trading assistant that scans online trading information and alerts you to trading opportunities. It is not a trading system; it is a program that enables you to systematically look for trades.
  • 1. Autochartist alerts you to trades every 15 minutes. You can use these alerts to begin your market-cycle analysis.
  • 2. Autochartist will continue to alert you to a pattern as it develops; these alerts are called "re-alerts" or "continuing alerts" If the pattern changes to the point where it is no longer valid then Autochartist will not re-alert you.
  • 3. When you start using the program, it is crucial that you set up the search criteria: your search tabs must include your preferred symbols and intervals.
  • 4. Сhart patterns are simply dynamic and static lines and levels (support, resistance, trend lines) that come together to create a pattern.
  • 5. Good alerts rank high in the Uniformity and Clarity columns.
  • 6. Positions can be opened and closed in your trading platform only: MetaTrader 4, Systematic and Alpari Direct.
  • 7. Both "continuing" patterns and "reversal" may develop differently from the way it was forecasted. These are simply likelihoods based on the patterns, trends, and other price actions that Autochartist analyzes.
  • 8. Complete Patterns are patterns that have broken or "triggered", while Emerging Patterns are patterns that are still developing. To use your time wisely, refer to the Emerging Patterns section to be proactive about trade entries and refer to the Complete Patterns section to get assistance with trade management.
  • 9. Autochartist identifies chart patterns using an agreed computer algorithm which reads profitable and unprofitable patterns in due time.
  • 10. You can enter the program using your investor password.

Daily Forex Update: AUD/USD

26.07.2010 12:12

The area from 0.8950 to 0.8970 continues to put pressure on the bulls as the Australian Dollar holds onto its gains from the past week against the U.S. Dollar in the AUD/USD pair. The Aussie Dollar and the commodities sector move in strong correlation, and with the Dow Jones higher today, commodities are rallying - which keeps sentiment bullish on the intraday AUD/USD. The current ceiling at 0.8971 is also near the 200 period simple moving average on the daily time frame which will present significant resistance.Daily Research Image20100726dailyfximage.png

Weekly Forex Update: EUR/JPY

27.07.2010 14:30

After breaking through the downtrend line resistance of a Falling Wedge pattern at 110.00 (E) on the daily chart, the EUR/JPY has rallied to prior resistance between 113.30 and 113.40-well shy of the Autochartist Forecast area between 115.07 and 121.75 (F). The likely reason for the stall that came after the pattern reversal higher is the current market cycle, which still shows a strong eight-bar Initial Trend reading. This suggests there is still a strong downtrend on the daily chart; add to this the weak, two-bar Autochartist Breakout reading, and it seems the low bullish momentum that accompanied the pattern break was simply not enough to immediately push the EUR/JPY pair higher towards the Forecast area above.Weekly Research Image 20100727weekfximage1.png
