Adaptive Price Zone - APZ

  

The APZ is a key element of the diet of technical investors, or chartists, giving them a heads up that the market is inflecting. Most often, an APZ draws on groups of stocks, bonds, news items, and other elemental parts, comprising stock market moves in order to predict the future for traders.

The 50, 100, and 200 day moving averages drive their inflections in adaptive price zones, which smooth otherwise Rocky Mountain-like changes in short term market swings. Our advice: just pull out and polish the crystal ball and a Bible.
