Interpreting Signal Projections
The cheat sheet organizes trigger prices hierarchically, with the highest projections at the top. Understanding the color coding is crucial:
Support Zones (Blue)
- Below current price: Limits downward movement
- Above current price: Confirms upward momentum
Resistance Zones (Red)
- Above current price: Limits upward movement
- Below current price: Confirms downward momentum
Market Timing Indicators
- Narrow trading ranges occur when blue zones are below and red zones above current price
- Breakouts happen when blue moves above or red moves below current price
Core Technical Indicators Explained
Stochastic Oscillators
Barchart's proprietary formulas for 14-Day Stochastic Stalls:
%K Stochastic Formula:
Value1 = (3×%K - 2×Raw Stochastic)Value2 = (14-Day High - 14-Day Low)/100Stall = (Value1×Value2) + 14-Day Low
%D Stochastic Formula:
Value1 = (3×%D - 2×%K)Value2 = (14-Day High - 14-Day Low)/100Stall = (Value1×Value2) + 14-Day Low
Pivot Points Analysis
Key levels for intraday trading (calculated from previous day's H, L, C):
| Level | Formula |
|---|---|
| Pivot Point (PP) | (H + L + C)/3 |
| Resistance 1 (R1) | (2×PP) - L |
| Resistance 2 (R2) | PP + (R1 - S1) |
| Support 1 (S1) | (2×PP) - H |
| Support 2 (S2) | PP - (R1 - S1) |

- Divide by (data points - 1)
- Square root the result
Statistical Probabilities
- 1SD: 68% probability price stays within range
- 2SD: 95% probability
