Accelerator Oscillator
Acceleration/Deceleration
(AC) is introduced by Bill Williams; it measures acceleration and
deceleration of the current driving force.
When the AC value of the
current bar is greater than the previous bar value, the histogram bar
is colored in green (and vice versa). According to Mr. Williams this
indicator will change direction before any changes in the driving
force, which will change its direction before the price.
The only
thing that needs to be done to control the market and make decisions is
to watch for changes in color. To save yourself serious reflections,
you must remember: you can not buy with the help of
Acceleration/Deceleration, when the current column is colored red, and
you can not sell, when the current column is colored green.
The purpose of this overview is to introduce the forex market to you. As with many markets there are many derivative of the central market such as futures, options and forwards. In these tutorials we will be discussing the main market sometimes referred to as the Spot or Cash market.
The word "FOREX" is derived from the words Foreign Exchange and is the largest financial market in the world. Unlike many markets the FX market is open 24 hours per day and has an estimated $3.2 Trillion in turnover every day.
This tremendous turnover is more than the combined turnover of the main worlds' stock markets on any given day. This tends to lead to a very liquid market and thus a desirable market to trade.
Unlike many other securities (any financial instrument that can be traded) the FX market does not have a fixed exchange. It is primarily traded through banks, brokers, dealers, financial institutions and private individuals.
Trades are executed through phone and increasingly through the Internet.
It is only in the last few years that the smaller investor has been able to gain access to this market. Previously the large amounts of deposits required precluded the smaller investors. With the advent of the Internet and growing competition it is now easily within the reach of most investors.
