Dow Theory:

In 1897, Dow invented the Dow Jones average, calculating it backward for many years.

Dow Theory was one of the initial mathematical theories which form the base of many indicators and trading strategies used in modern technical analysis.

When Charles derived the Dow Theory of the stock market, he saw that most stocks move in synchronization with the up and downtrend of the markets.

By calculation the averages of stocks and their prices, he found the correlation between the rise and fall of the stocks with the general market and derived the relation in a single value.

Dow Theory basic principles.

The basic principles of Dow Theory can be subcategorized as:

  • The averages discount everything
  • The market has three movements

The three movements are:

1.    In primary trend:

  • The upward price movement is known as a bull market or uptrend.
  • The downward price movement is known as a bear market or downtrend.

2.    The secondary reaction:

The primary trends do not move in one direction continuously. The primary trends are interrupted by reactions. We call these corrections in a bull market or uptrend and rallies in a bear market or downtrend.

3.     Daily fluctuations:

These tend to be quite random and are usually unimportant except to very short-term traders.

The six basic tenants of the Dow Theory are:

  1. The market discounts everything.
  2. The market has three stock trading trends (primary, secondary and minor).
  3. Trends have three phases (accumulation, mass participation, and distribution).
  4. The averages must confirm each other.
  5. Volume must confirm the trend.
  6. A trend in the stock is assumed to be intact until a valid signal is given by the price itself that it has reversed.
