How the Hilbert sine wave can transform your Trading

Friday, December 10, 2010

The Hilbert sine wave combines the best characteristics of the oscillator and moving average. An oscillator signals over-sold and over-bought issues in a cyclical trends in the region while moving average marks the beginning and end of a trending movement.

Markets alternate between periods, when the cycling and periods when the price trending. Using a wave, the structure of the market can be defined with 5 ways:

1. cyclical turning points where value returns out of support and resistance levels almost perfectly.
2. "regions;" circular turning points where momentum causes market value exceeding the level of support or resistance before resetting the cycle
3. Breakouts from cyclical fluctuations in voltage mode, where a "overrun" maintains its evolution and the market makes a strong directional or trend move.
4. The trend move loses momentum and throw back at a turning point before resuming our inclined circular movement. and
5. The trend that ends with a final circular shift.

Improved sine wave, an adaptation of Hilbert sine wave, can be used for defining market structure in each time frame: tick lines, minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. It can also be used for any market: futures, stocks, forex, indices or options. To use this technique with multiple timeframes, you must understand that the trend will move to a lower time frame are the circular motion in a larger timeframe. The Wave is uniquely suited for use on multiple timeframes as this provides circular bends and the end of trending periods.

A key question to answer with Hilbert sine wave is whether to "observe" the level of support or resistance, or "overrun" and maybe even become a trend to move your value instead? These bends high probability can be identified by looking for two things: bends corresponds to higher cycle timeframes and volume confirmation patterns.

Using improving sine wave can make all the difference to your trading.
