Price action seems to be quite an overused term these days, and there was even a recent rant about it that attempted to bring some honest discussion about the ambiguity of the term. Unfortunately, no agreement could be made on the definition, other than something along the lines of 'movement of ticks up or down in the market'. :crap:

 

What is needed is an indicator that does not repaint, and can provide clear direction what the market is doing now. (not to be confused with predicting what the market will do later). The basic definition of trending prices:

 

Uptrend - series of higher highs and higher lows

Downtrend - series of lower lows and lower highs.

 

lacks a starting point and an end point to determine the low or high. Often times these are done in hindsight, but what if the trend measurement could be drawn concurrently with the current price action?:idea: Similar to planning a roadtrip, if the user knew in advance how many ticks/pips they wanted to measure (the end point), and could agree on where the start point is, then a qualification process could be used to determine if the "price action" can in fact create a 'series of higher highs, lower lows, etc' between the two points.

 

APAMI does exactly this, dynamically:thumbs up: This video overview of the technical details of how apami functions should bring you up to speed.

The implementations you are being provided are for metatrader 4 and 5, but conceptually it can be implemented on any decent charting platform that supports a real-time price feed and custom programming language.

I have been referring to this indicator for quite some time on previous threads, and it took a while to put some things together. I use it in my own mechanical trading systems as a first part of the trade lifecycle: detect entry condition. the tradecycle article has one example of how you could implement apami, but the possibilities are technically endless. I suppose using moving averages are somewhat endless also.

 

The full whitepaper covers more technical information about how the indicator is calculated. TBA. But for 99% of you, just watch the videos and throw apami on a chart to see how it works. pay close attention to what happens after the moves "complete"

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
