5. Technical Analysis
John J. Murphy
• “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets”
• The study of market action through the use of chats for the
purpose of forecasting future price trends
Martin J. Pring
• “Technical Analysis Explained”
• The art to identify a trend reversal at a relatively early stage
and ride on that trend until the weight of the evidence shows
or proves that the trend has reversed
John D. Magee and Roberts D. Edwards
• “Technical Analysis of Stocks Trends”
• The science of recording in graphic form the actual history
of trading and then deducing from that pictured history the
probable future trend
6. The Use of Technical Analysis

10. Technical Analysis’ Premises
Price Discounts Everything
Insider Trading (or Speculation) always occurs
Semi – Strong Form Market (Market Data and Public
Information are available)
Price Moves in Trend
Price movement is not random
Random Theory is wrong
History Repeats Itself
What has happened will probably happen again
There are certain patterns or cycles
13. Why Investor Trade / Invest in Stocks
Dividend
Capital Gain
Exceed Cost of Capital
Inflation
Free Risk Interest Rate
Internal Required Return
Exceed certain Benchmark
Market
Other Index
14. Exceed The Benchmark
Earn bigger Gain than JCI
21 Sept’12 – 31 Okt’12
ADHI +53% vs JCI 2%
Experience Loss fewer than JCI
8 Agus’11 – 29 Sept’11
ASII -2% vs JCI -8%
Record Gain even when JCI falls
25 Apr’12 – 31 May’12
ACES 22% vs JCI -8%
18. So …
Outperform means Exceed Benchmark
Earn bigger Gain than JCI
Experience Loss fewer than JCI
Record Gain even JCI fall
Underperform means Not Exceed Benchmark
Earn fewer Gain than JCI
Experience Loss bigger than JCI
Record Loss even JCI rise
19. This seminar aim to help you find
stocks that will Outperform JCI and
also your Portfolio Basket using
Technical Analysis and Bloomberg
tools
21. Who Is He ?
Co-founder of Dorsey, Wrigth & Associates (DWA) in
1987, an investment firm in Virginia, U.S
Fund Manager whose funds often beat market by
using Technical Analysis method
22. How They Do That ?
Using Point & Figure Chart and Relative Strength to
maket their funds Outperform
Relative Strength of :
Stocks and Index
ETF and MSCI
Certain Index and Index Basket
Divide the numerator (stock) and the denominator
(index) then convert it into Point and Figure Chart
23. Point and Figure Chart Analysis
Point and Figure Analysis mostly is Chart Pattern
analysis (and a powerful one)
However, the most difficulty in conducting Point and
Figure Analysis is user must find a correct “Box Size”
and “Box Reversal”
25. Why are we talking about Dorsey ?
Tom Dorsey and DWA proves that Relative Strength
method can be useful in order to find stocks or ETF
that Outperform market
Relative Strength is not necessarily have to be in
form of Point and Figure
Relative Strength can be in other Price Pattern such
as Candlestick and Line Chart
27. What is Relative Rotation Graph (RRG) ?
A method created by Julius de Kempenaer and
developed by Trevor Neil
Available in Bloomberg since 2011 RRG <GO>
A new method that Proof Instruments are Rotating
(similar with Cycle analysis)
RRG can also be used to find Instruments that are
Outperforming and Underperforming as well as
Rising and Falling
29. 4 Sides of RRG
IMPROVING
(Rising but
Underperform)
LAGGING
(Falling and
Underperform)
LEADING
(Rising and
Outperform)
WEAKENING
(Falling but
Outperform)
30. How to Use RRG
Choose your Risk Profile and Match it with your
Strategy
Then choose stocks whose Sector is in your
preference Sides
Suggestion :
Long Term Investor : Lagging Sides
Medium Term : Improving Sides
Short Term Trader : Improving or Leading Sides
31. What is “wrong” with RRG ?
Technically Speaking, RRG Chart is not a normal
Technical Analysis Chart
Still need a deep research to study how Instruments
rotate from Side to Side
Until then, Technical Analysis method should not be applied
However, RRG is a great Coincident Indicators but
should not be employed as Leading Indicators
37. Ratio Chart of AB
Ratio Chart of AB = Divide A with B
If AB Ratio Chart Rises (Outperform)
A is Better than B
Buy A and Sell B
If AB Ratio Chart Falls (Underperform)
B is Better than A
Buy B and Sell A
38. The Original Use
Relative Strength in Technical Analysis is used by
John Murphy in conducting Intermarket Analysis
Relative Strength helps us to find Instruments that
are Performing better than other Instruments
Relative Strength is used in Asset Allocation Strategy
48. “Perfect” means ...
You understand “It” so much that you are able to
maximize “Its” advantages and minimize “Its”
disadvantages
You choose “It” under every circumstances, even if
you have another options
“It” is the only thing / one that you Trust
49. Holy Grail
Holy Grail is a method (indicators, system,
technique, etc) that give you 100% accuracy, 100%
consistent profit and 0% loss
Holy Grail is not exist !
There is no Perfect but there is “Perfect”
50. “Perfect” Indicators means ...
Indicators that you understand so much that you
can Maximize its own Advantages and Minimize
its own Disadvantages
Indicators that you use for Buy and Sell Signals …
but then you know which are the Best Buy and Sell
Signals … and still you are okay if you make wrong
actions because of those so-called “Perfect”
Indicators of yours
52. My Recommendation
I believe the best Trading activities lies in Medium
Term Trading; not Short Term Trading or Long Term
Trading (Investing)
Based on Risk – Reward and Holding Period. MT offer
Higher Profit than ST and Faster than LT
Investor and Trader can employ Medium Term Trading
Medium Term Trading in my Technical Analysis
concept can be translated into :
Buy when Momentum Indicators is Oversold while Trend
Following Indicators is Bullish
Sell when Momentum Indicators is Overbought while
Trend Following Indicators turns to Bearish (from Bullish)
That would be : Buy Low – Sell Higher
53. My “Perfect” Indicators
Bollinger Band Stochastic Oscillator
Type :
Trend Following Indicators
Volatility Indicators
Quantitative Indicators
Purpose :
Trend
Overshoot – Undershoot
(based on Statistical
Method)
High – Low Volatility
Type :
Momentum Indicators
Purpose :
Oversold and
Overbought reading
Timing to Rise or Fall
54. Moving Average
Moving Average is an averaging method that ‘move’
periodically so it is always the latest average
MA20 means average 20 days ago
Since 20 days represents a month, MA20 could also
mean Monthly Average
If Current Price is above MA20, technically speaking
it means Bullish
It’s Bullish because Current Price is above Monthly
Average
Similar parable : MA20 with MoM Rise or Fall, MA60
with QoQ Rise or Fall and MA200 with YoY Rise or
Fall
55. Bollinger Band
Bollinger Band is a Standard Deviation of its Moving
Average
Standard Calculation of Bollinger Band is 2SD and -2SD
of MA20
Statistically Speaking, if Price is below or above 2
(and -2) times its Standard Deviation then it is
beyond ~95% of overall range (normal distribution)
that’s what I called Overshoot and Undershoot
If the range between 2SD and -2SD is widening then
the volatility is high, vice versa
Similar Bollinger Band method often used in PE
Band and PBV band
56. Stochastic Oscillator
Stochasic Oscillator reads how close Current Price
to its extreme certain period range
How close is Current Price to (say) 20 last days range of
highest or lowest range
If Current Price near its Highest Price in 20 last days then
Stochastic Oscillator read an Overbought
If Current Price near its Lowest Price in 20 last days then
Stochastic Oscillator read on Oversold
Often, you don’t need to see Stochastic Oscillator to
prove if it is Overbought or Oversold based on
Stochastic Oscillator method

Band
65. Bloomberg Features
CIX <GO>
Main menu in order to create index
CIXB <GO>
Easier menu to create our own index
CIX is able to create historical Chart based on the
securities and weighting method (Personal, Equal or
Market Weigth)
71. Attention
Historical Chart of Portfolio assumes that the
weighting are consistent with the weighting that you
input in CIX <GO>
That seems not applicable but then we are looking at
the future
Assumes that the weighting will not be changed in
the future
73. What is that ?
The idea is to combine Relative Strength method
with the Amazingness of Bloomberg which can
create a Portfolio Chart
We can try to Outperform certain index then why can
not we choose Stocks in our Portfolio that could
Outperform our Portfolio itself using Relative
Strength and Technical Analysis (and Bloomberg)
80. The Main Steps
Create your Portfolio and Portfolio Chart with CIX
<GO>
Form a Ratio Chart from Stocks in your Portfolio and
Portfolio Charts
Apply Technical Analysis to find which Stocks that
will Outperform Portfolio Charts
81. Another Bloomberg Features
You can look deeper you CIX Chart (Portfolio Chart) with
SEAG <GO> to see how your portfolio react throughout
the time (historically speaking)
If you create many CIX Charts, you can do Screening
with EQS <GO>
Which CIX Charts (Portfolio Charts) that are Oversold or Above
Middle Bollinger Band
You can also do General Check Up your Portfolio using
PORT <GO>
Is your Portfolio have too much Property stocks or your
Portfolio P/E is above P/E of JCI
“Backtesting” feature can be used to find what Indicators
(and their parameters) which fit the best for your Portfolio
Chart
