The analysis shows a variety of moving averages and oscillators, and an overall buy/sell score based on the combination
of all the indicators. All the figures update live based on each new market tick.
The moving averages combine traditional calculations (EMA, SMA) with averages which are designed to respond more quickly to
changes in price, and to track the current price more closely (Hull, Arnaud Legoux). The table is colour-coded based on whether the
current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) each moving average.
The oscillators track over-bought and over-sold conditions. For example, a value of 80+ on the Stochastic oscillator is
traditionally regarded as an over-bought signal, and therefore bearish.
The technical analysis also shows daily pivot points using a variety of popular calculations. If the current price has
breached a support level, then that is considered as bearish. Conversely, the analysis regards it as bullish if the
price is above a resistance level.
You can change the periods which are used for moving averages, and for oscillators. Adding more moving averages will change
their weight in the total score compared to the oscillators. Conversely, adding or removing oscillators will change their
contribution to the overall score relative to the moving averages.
The USDJPY (or US Dollar Japanese Yen) currency pair represents American (from United States of America) and
Japanese economies. Japanese Yen has a low interest rate and is normally used in carry trades. This is the reason
why it is one of the most traded currencies worldwide. In this pair the US Dollar is the base currency and the
Japanese Yen is the counter currency. The interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve (FED) and the Bank
of Japan (BOJ) affect the value of these currencies. This pair is also known as trading the "ninja" and belongs to the
group of 'Majors', the most important pairs in the world. Other currency pairs in this group also include the following
currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/USD and USD/CAD.
