Using 3cANALYSIS Research

Transcription

1 Using 3cANALYSIS Research The firm s analysts have a consistent and accurate track record in forecasting the direction of financial markets and our main goal is to identify profitable trading opportunities. 3cANALYSIS publishes daily research & trading recommendations from Tuesday through to Friday with Monday seeing the publication of the weekly forecast. Performance of every published recommendation is measured according to a set of trading guidelines that we believe complement our research. This document gives an explanation of three key aspects of the 3cANALYSIS service: How best to utilise the recommendations published on 3cAnalysis.com: An explanation of the trading guidelines used to measure the performance of our calls. We believe these strategies can be used effectively maximise the usefulness of our recommendations. How to use our Neutral calls. Some clients use our forecasts to optimise the timing of their trades and hedge financial transactions. However there are also a number who take trading positions based on our calls. Each 3cANALYSIS recommendation contains everything needed to manage a specific trade.

2 1. The main menu s allow you to navigate to any of the asset classes that your subscription gives you access to. Once inside the asset class you can choose which of the assets within that class to view this lower menu has a drop-down to select the time period. 2. On the right hand side of the menus there is navigation to the Updates page (all live changes to the published calls) and back the Client Area. 3. Charts; each call has 2-3 charts. Each chart is clear and concise, putting into graphic form the reasons behind the analysis. The tabs above access each chart. 4. Brief synopsis of the forecast including the key risk level. 5. Link to the Summary page (a quick & easy overview of all calls within that particular asset class) Resistance & 3 Support points. Hover over the levels to see the reason that the level is relevant. 7. The narrative a full explanation of the analysis behind the call but jargon-free. 8. The Quick Reference to the call for all time periods for the individual asset being viewed. This box moves lower when Updates are posted to enable them to be seen. 9. The Alerts Bar scrolling news and technical information of a broad range of financial instruments not just those that are analysed by 3cAnalysis. In the example above EURUSD is forecast as Bearish below from London s 7am open is the overnight high. There are 3 charts, each highlighting the technical reasons behind the conclusions that result in the Bearish call. There are 3 Support levels shown and in this particular case they represent levels that we believe the market will take profits/reduce exposure on bearish positions. Contrary to this, resistance levels show the risk level mentioned above plus 2 subsequent technical levels that are relevant if the market chooses a different direction to that assessed. Obviously, a Bullish call would result in this situation reversed.

3 Trading with 3cANALYSIS Daily recommendations Our daily calls are the most practical to trade. They are published Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday with a high level of updates to aid management. 56 daily trade calls per week in 14 currency pairs. 28 daily recommendations per week in 7 Equity Indices futures 16 daily calls per week in 4 Bond futures. Our analysts have an average of 32 years expertise in analysing financial markets using a combination of technical analysis, behavioural science and trading experience. Therefore our clients consistently receive the very best assessment of market prospects. Our calls can help improve the timing of the positions you need to hedge or give the opportunity to enter a trade based on our recommendation. All FX, Bond market and Stock indices calls are made with London s 7am open in mind and the success of our analysis is judged from that point until 1pm London time. If the call has been successful then the forecast is closed at that time. If unsuccessful, but without the risk point being broken, or has lacked movement, then the call is open until 4pm (unless cancelled by an update). The exceptions being the later FTSE open and US markets where the calls are based on the futures exchange opening. Live Updates Obviously price action throughout the trading day/session may alter analysis and so we send relevant updates to our calls as, and when, our assessment changes. New targets, reduction of exposure, changes to the risk level and the closing of any positions are sent via and immediately updated on the website.

4 Weekly calls; Monday sees the publication of our calls for the coming week and the same principles are applied to these recommendations with the call beginning from London s 7am on Monday through until Friday. Updates are made in the same way as daily calls. 3cAnalysis Neutral Calls While most of the calls signalled by 3cAnalysis are a Bullish or Bearish, there are occasions when market price action does not provide a clear view. When this is the case we offer a neutral call, highlighting the important downside and topside technical levels. Within these parameters the market s indecision is likely to continue but a move through either side is expected to indicate a change in investors opinion of value leading to a clear positive or negative tone. Our calls therefore change to bullish or bearish with 2 subsequent targets. The neutral parameters, and the technical reasons behind them, are monitored closely throughout the day and any change to analysis can lead to the cancellation of the forecast or change to an outright view at different levels. A minimum risk in the event of a breakout is shown in the original call. 3cAnalysis Bullish/Buy Dip to & Bearish/Sell Rally to Calls Another variation of our straightforward Bullish & Bearish call is used when the overall direction of the market is clearly assessed but signals suggest that an early counter move may occur first. The aim is to ensure the right call is made but the average levels that the trader/investor may be able to enter are improved by this call. For example; Bearish & Sell at with a stop at was a recent weekly AUDUSD call. Published over the weekend our forecast recommends a Bearish bias from Monday's 7am open but leaving room to sell further at The risk level on the overall call is assessed as
