Master the essentials of regression analysis to quantify trend strength, detect early warning signs of potential trend changes, and promote a more objective, less emotional approach to trading. Switch to dynamic moving averages that adjust their effective length based on market momentum or volatility so you can set unique stops, develop trading bands for a breakout trading system, and pinpoint resistance or support.

Improve identification of candlestick patterns. With Qstick, you can quantify both the internal momentum and shadows, and produce objective numbers to look at rather than a pattern to ponder.
