78 Glossary VIX: The Chicago Board of Options Volatility Index. Useful for detecting panic lows. Volatility: The tendency for prices to vary. There are many measures of volatility. Standard deviation is one of the more popular. Volatility-Breakout Systems: Trading systems designed to trigger when volatility exceeds a certain level. The most interesting of these require that volatility be low to start with. Volume: The number of transactions or the quantity of items traded in a given period. Volume Indicators: Technical indicators designed to get to the heart of the supply-demand equation by integrating volume. Volume-Price Trend: A variation on On Balance Volume developed by David Markstein that uses percent change in the calculation. Volume-Weighted MACD: A version of MACD developed by Buff Dormeier that uses volume-weighted averages rather than exponential averages. Warrants: Essentially, long-term options. Washout: A sell-off that leads to a total lack of interest, an abandoning of hope. Often the first stage of a base-building process that leads to a rally. W Bottom: The most typical bottom formation. An initial low point followed by a rally and a retest of the low. Generally in the shape of a capital W. Wedge: A consolidation pattern typically characterized by rising bottoms or declining tops. Weighted Moving Average: A moving average in which the weights assigned to each day in the calculation are different. A typical version is the front-weighted moving average in which the most recent periods figure more heavily in the calculation than prior periods. Whipsaw: A sell followed immediately by a buy, or vice versa. Often expensive due to transaction costs. Wyckoff, Richard D.: A technical analyst operating in the early part of the twentieth century whose work stands out even after all these years.
Glossary Yield Curve: A depiction of interest rate levels versus maturities in graphic form with short-term rates at the left and long-term rates at the right. Generally, Treasury debt is the subject. In normal times, short-term rates are lower than long-term rates. Thus, the curve rises from left to right and is said to be positively sloped. Zigzag: An alternating pattern of advances followed by declines typically defined by some minimum price swing.
