Indicator Library
PI: RTT TrendStatus
This is a proprietary indicator, part of the RTT Indicator set.

Important Disclaimer: None of the proprietary indicators give specific signals of BUY and/or SELL prices or signals for investment decisions. They do however bring your attention to price action for further analysis only. Any BUY or SELL decision is purely your own responsibility. Please understand that we find favor with our proprietary tools, but they do not work all the time, nothing is 100% accurate. Please review our terms of use.

The RTT TrendStatus, RTT TrendTick and RTT TrendThrust indicators are based on the same formula, but with different presentations of price action.

RTT TrendStatus
The indicator looks at price by how far it has moved away from its trending mean.

The RTT Trendstatus acts like the standard statistical formula known as the 'Z-Score'. The 'Z Score' can be defined as .."is the number of standard deviations away from the mean a particular observation is".. In excel the formula would be Z Score for cell A1 = (A1-AVERAGE(A1:A100))/STDEV(A1:A100). Of course our RTT TrendStatus is not the same code as the Z Score, the concept maybe, we reduced the noise and added a few other tricks. 


Different colors give measurements of the degree.

vExUp (Dark Blue): Very Extended upwards trend
ExUp (Blue): Extend upwards trend.
Up (Green): Up trend.
Test (Gray): Trend in test mode.
Dwn (Red): Down trend.
ExDwn (Purple): Extended downwards trend.
vExDwn (Dark Purple): Very extended downwards trend.

Changes in color give adequate warning to you when price action requires your close attention. The dotted blue lines highlight when price will begin to test the trend, or as we call it entering the 'trend testing zone'.

Interpretation Points:
1) If the immediate presentation of RTT TrendStatus shows NO RED then the trend is bullish. This is inclusive of the RTT TrendStatus pulling back as far to the lower dotted blue line.
2) If the immediate presentation of RTT TrendStatus shows NO GREEN then the trend is bearish. This is inclusive of the RTT TrendStatus pulling back as far to the upper dotted blue line.
3) Changes in color require your attention to price action.
4) The more infrequent the appearance of an extended color the more likely that the reading is significant.
5) The parameters cannot be changed, thus a truly universal security trend tool.

RTT TrendTick
The indicator looks at the bar by bar change levels of the RTT TrendStatus. Bullish above zero and bearish below zero. We normally wait for at least two bars to change color before we consider a change in price momentum, plus we consider the level of the reading where the change occurs. This tool does show the short term changes in price momentum, however anything short term is volatile and prone to a higher ratio of false readings. Readtheticker.com favors price action first, short term price momentum indicators second. All indicators, including ours have a lagging effect, price action leads in all cases.

RTT TrendThrust
The indicator measures price change (i.e thrust) in percentage terms while the RTT TrendStatus is trending either up or down. The percentage move of price is an important measure of demand or supply (reference Wyckoff logic). When thrust weakens the market is reluctant to go into new ground, hence other forces are at work. This tool helps with Wyckoff law of 'Effort vs Results.

RTT TrendPower
The above indicators are not volume weighted, use the above with RTT TrendPower to determine how well volume supports price action. They are a very good marriage.

Investing Quote...

.."In a bull market your game is to buy and hold until you believe that the bull market is near it’s end. To do this you must study general conditions and not tips or special factors affecting individual stocks. Then get out of all your stocks; get out for keeps!"..

Jesse Livermore


.."Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you"..


Pericles

..“If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong.”..

Bernard Baruch


.."man exists for the achievement of his desires"..


Ayn Rand

In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run it is a weighing machine.
