About This Site


This site analyzes approximately 500 securities in the Middle East Stock Markets on daily basis using end of day data. The job accomplished in the background is immense. The data for all the stocks is downloaded and checked for false and suspicious data. The filtered data is then analyzed by a very sophisticated algorithm that issues daily signals. The commentaries are automatically generated for each signal and are revised in case of signal failures. All of this is done in a couple of hours after the closing bell.

The job performed in the background is very complex but presentation of the results is simple and user friendly. There are six trading signals posted. These are BUY-IF, BUY CONFIRMED, SELL-IF, SELL CONFIRMED, HOLD and WAIT. The signals are accompanied by daily commentaries. A multiple factor weighting scheme assign stars ranging between zero and five to all the stocks. The average success of five star stocks is a very impressive 90.1%. Other important features of the site are portfolio tracking, stock scanning, and two-year signal history, all of which are explained below.

Most of this section of the site including the signals as well as the commentaries is open to the public and is free of charge. However, access to star ratings, portfolio tracking and stock scanning are membership privileges.


The Philosophy


The philosophy shaping the signal system stems from our experiences which extend across quite a few years. This is not a trend following system. It emphasizes the identification of reversal points and is able to generate significant profits even in sideways and bearish markets. The essential tool used for this purpose is the Japanese candlestick patterns. The algorithm is able to recognize 91 different candlestick formations with high precision. It identifies relevant candlesticks applicable to each security on a daily basis, explains the patterns shortly and generates a brief candlestick commentary. Interested investors may visit our educational website www.candlesticker.com for thorough information about each pattern.

This site transforms the investor into a dynamic and vital element of the trading system in order to cope with the speed and volatility of the market. This is a feature unique only to this site. To accomplish this, pattern based bullish and bearish alerts are issued. Alerts can be confirmed only under certain pre-defined conditions. The task of the investor is to confirm the validity of these conditions in the next day(s) and then go long or short only in case of confirmation. The Signals section explains this process in more detail.

There is no fundamental analysis on this site. You won’t find balance sheets, news, experts, comments, and gossip here, distractions that are conducive to manipulation and wrong interpretation. The aim is to create a truly objective system with no human interference at all (even from us). The system prevents interference of human emotions with trading decisions.


The Signals


BUY-IF and SELL-IF are conditional pre-signals(alerts) generated on the basis of daily candlestick patterns. They are posted for the next day's trading. Traders should consider the signals as confirmed and place their orders only if the market action in the next day proves that the alert generating pattern is confirmed.

There are three specific and well defined rules of confirmation for the pre-signals. Each of these confirmation rules is associated with pre-defined and definite price benchmarks. The confirmation rules and price benchmarks applicable the next day are explained in detail in the daily commentaries. The investor's job is to determine whether any of the three confirmation rules is satisfied by comparing the price activity on the confirmation day with the benchmarks. If the investor is convinced about the validity of the confirmation, he/she must place the orders without waiting until the following day. The system frequently (in the absence of negating patterns) waits one more day, thus allowing a second chance of confirmation. If the pattern is still not confirmed, then the conditional signals should be taken as null and void and should be ignored.

BUY CONFIRMED and SELL CONFIRMED are post-signals confirming the conditional signals. They show that the pattern is confirmed. They are actually a warning and a last chance for traders to place their orders. If investors are unable to monitor the prices during the confirmation day, they may wait to see if the BUY-IF or SELL-IF alert has been transformed or not into a BUY CONFIRMED or SELL CONFIRMED in the system. However by doing so, investors may make their trades at less advantageous prices.

HOLD comes after a BUY CONFIRMED and stays until the next confirmed SELL signal. It urges investors to keep their long positions as long as the HOLD tag stays.

WAIT comes after a SELL CONFIRMED and stays until the next confirmed BUY signal. Investors are urged to keep their cash positions as long as the WAIT tag stays.

The system monitors the performance of each signal after it is issued. The investors are notified by revised commentaries in case of slight signal failures. If signal errors reach to intolerable levels, commentaries are revised again to accommodate a special warning.

A transparent history of the confirmed signals is given for each stock and index. Wherever applicable, the history is given for the last two years. The success and failure of the signals are clearly shown with checks and cross signs. Moreover, investors can also see what has happened to a $100 invested two years ago and following signal based trading. The buying and selling rates in the history table are price benchmarks used for confirmation. Consequently, the signal history reflects the prices at which an investor acting on the basis of signals can genuinely buy or sell. The gains reported in the history table do not include potential short sales, interest gains, and broker commissions.


Members Area


Our members enjoy certain privileges in return for a modest fee. These privileges are portfolio tracking, stock scanning, and access to the stock star ratings.

Members can create and track their own portfolios. When the portfolio button on the members’ daily home page is clicked, an empty page opens. Adding a stock to a portfolio is easy. It is sufficient to go to the page of any stock and click on the “Add to Portfolio” button. A click on the “Remove from Portfolio” button on the stock page deletes this stock from the portfolio. The day’s signal, previous signal, gain/loss since last signal and star rating is reported for each stock on the portfolio page.

Stars are assigned to all the stocks on the basis of a multiple factoring scheme according to percentage gain in the last two years, in the last three months, signal hit ratio, volume and beta value. Stocks below a certain score are not rated and get no stars. The highest rating is five stars. The average success rate is 64.5% for unrated stocks, 83.3% for rated stocks and 90.1% for five star stocks.

Stock Scanning is a very effective and convenient tool that enables the members to scan the stocks with respect to the market, currently posted signal, star rating and volume levels. Simply select a market (e.g. Amman) and then select a signal (e.g. BUY-IF). You can narrow the scope of your scan by selecting an appropriate star rating, e.g. only four and more (4+) stars, and volume (e.g. only stocks with a volume over 10 million). You will then instantly be provided with a list of all stocks satisfying your criteria (all the stocks in Amman Stock Exchange with a BUY-IF signal, a volume over 10 million,and a rating of four stars and above). To select multiple signals at once, hold down the Ctrl key while highlighting the desired signals.

Rules of Confirmation


There are three symmetric confirmation criteria for BUY-IF and SELL-IF alerts. The investor is expected to monitor the market and check by himself/herself if any of these criteria hold or not on the confirmation day.

A BUY-IF signal is confirmed and turns into a BUY CONFIRMED signal by one of the three following conditions:

The market opens with an upward gap (an opening price above the previous close) signaling a bullish sentiment. The benchmark is the opening price. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay above this benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a white candlestick with an upward gap.

The market opens at a level either equal to or below the previous close. The benchmark is the closing price of the previous day. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay above this benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a white candlestick closing above the previous close.

The market opens with a big downward gap (an opening price way below the previous close) suggesting a very bearish day in this rarely observed case. However, the prices turn up and the day ends with a long white candlestick that still closes below the previous day’s close. The benchmark is the closing price of the long white candlestick. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a long white candlestick closing below the previous close.

If one of these conditions is not satisfied, the BUY-IF alert remains valid without confirmation and three confirmation criteria are sought in the following day. The only exception is a long black candlestick, which makes the signal void and invalid automatically without further search. If there is still no confirmation in the following day, the alerts are void and invalid regardless of the following day’s pattern and the search is terminated.

On the other hand, a SELL-IF signal is confirmed and turns into a SELL CONFIRMED signal by one of the following conditions:

The market opens with a downward gap (an opening price below the previous close) signaling a bearish sentiment. The benchmark is the opening price. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay below the benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a black candlestick with a downward gap.

The market opens at a level, equal to or above the previous close. The benchmark is the closing price of the previous day. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay below the benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a black candlestick closing below the previous close.

The market opens with a big upward gap (an opening price way above the previous close) suggesting a very bullish day in this rarely observed case. However, the prices turn down and the day ends with a long black candlestick that still closes above the previous day’s close. The benchmark is the closing price of the long black candlestick. The pattern of this confirmation is a long black candlestick closing above the previous close.

If one of these conditions is not satisfied, the SELL-IF alert remains valid without confirmation and three confirmation criteria are sought in the following day. The only exception is a long white candlestick which makes the signal void and invalid automatically without further search. If there is still no confirmation in the following day, the alerts are void and invalid regardless of the following day’s pattern and the search is terminated.


Intraday Signal Confirmation Module


This module is the biggest aid to investors seeking confirmation for a BUY-IF or SELL-IF signal issued at the end of the previous day. The intraday module starts 15 minutes after the market opens and ends at the closing bell. It calculates the "benchmark price" and shows the current confirmation status according to the above defined "Rules of Confirmation". It saves the investor from the trouble of making complex calculations to decide whether the previous BUY-IF or SELL-IF signal is "CURRENTLY CONFIRMED" or "CURRENTLY UNCORFIRMED" or whether it is "CURRENTLY REJECTED", according to the position of the current price with respect to the benchmark price, and according to the type of the candlestick formed at that moment.

The current confirmation status may change during the session according to the intraday stock price. The final confirmation is given according to the closing price.

The module is provided free for all the market indices. For stocks, the intraday signal confirmation module is a membership feature.


Stock Search


The search box is a very effective tool. It allows you to directly access the daily page of any stock simply by typing the stock symbol or company name in the search box and then by clicking on the GO button.
