Market Navigator

The Market Navigator turns the methodology taught in Market School by Investors Business Daily into an easy-to-use indicator. This system follows a strict set of rules to help gauge when it's time to increase market exposure or back away.

The indicator considers 24 different buy and sell signals, as well as portfolio management rules, to keep you on the right side of the market with no guesswork.

Buy and sell signals are generated based on different criteria, including the relationship between price and key moving averages, volume, and time. Each signal is assigned a point value, which is then added (buy signal) or subtracted (sell signal) to the running exposure count when the signal occurs. This exposure count is then used to give a recommended maximum exposure level.

The Market Navigator also identifies certain instances when being more aggressive is called for, known as a Power Trend. A Power Trend is triggered within the context of an uptrend that meets a certain criterion of price, length, and moving average relationship.

This indicator is a must-have for any trader looking to take the guesswork out of their trading by automating recommended exposure levels and being in step with the market

Principles covered include:

• Recommended maximum portfolio exposure
  
• Buy switch / restraint rules
  
• Follow through / distribution days
  
• Power Trend
  

Customize the indicator so it fits and looks great on your charts!

• Multiple ways to view key information
  
• Customize colors
  
• Show or hide different element to see as much or as little information as you want
  
• Highlight the background of Power Trends
  
• Change the bar color of distribution/stall days
  
• Change table position & size
  
• Show or hide key moving averages
  

Dynamic Day 1
When you first put the indicator on your chart, it will ask you to select Day 1 of the current rally attempt. A Day 1 is defined as either:

• The first positive day in a down trending market
  
• A down day where the index closes in the upper half of the daily range
  

With over 24 buy and sell signals, the built-in reference table makes it simple to crosscheck which signals occur.

Included with this indicator is access to the Market Navigator Oscillator, which plots the exposure count as a line in a separate pane, keeping your main chart uncluttered. This version allows you to see all of the same information in a condensed form.

If the 95% rule is turned off, higher volume than the previous day will be required for stall days.
