Expert filtering for what's important

Trading Central combines candlestick patterns with its unique quantitative and technical analysis expertise to focus solely on patterns relevant for decision-making in the current context.

Adaptive Divergence Convergence (ADC)

Long & Short entry/exit signals

Labels guide you in spotting trading opportunities: ↑ (long), LX (long exit), ↓ (short), SX (short exit). These signals are generated based on the status of all ADC components, including price lines, indicators, and oscillators. While these components are derived from the same adaptive “window” of market data, they maintain a degree of independence, allowing Trading Central to make decisions based on the weight of evidence.

Slow & Fast price indicators​

Trading Central uses a front-weighted moving average for the slow indicator, while the fast indicator emulates a variable-length weighted moving average—shorter in trending markets and longer in sideways markets. Like other moving averages, these can be used to generate slow signals by confirming the trend: look for upward-sloping lines, the fast line above the slow line, or the price crossing above these lines. These indicators form the foundation for other ADC components.

Raw & Smooth signal lines​

For fast signals, look for upward-sloping lines and the ADC raw line above the ADC smooth line as your buying signal. For slow signals, ensure both the ADC raw and smooth lines are above 0. Similar to the MACD, the raw signal line represents the difference between the slow and fast indicators (divided by the slow), which is then smoothed using exponential averaging. However, unlike the MACD’s fixed smoothing length of 9, Trading Central automatically determines the smoothing length, typically around 4.

Oscillators Slow & Fast

The ADC system includes two compatible oscillators. For fast signals, watch for the fast oscillator to slope upward and stay above zero. For slow signals, ensure the fast oscillator is above the slow oscillator, or check that the slow oscillator is sloping upward, remains below the fast oscillator, and is above the adaptive filter.
