McClellan Summation Index is a breadth indicator derived from McClellan Oscillator (). The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values. Even though it is called a Summation Index, the indicator is really an oscillator that fluctuates above/below zero. As such, signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, directional...

Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues. Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator. As the formula reveals, the...

This is a famous indicator I have seen used by many Forex traders in MT4 platform. This indicator uses the difference between EMA of "close" and EMA of "open" to form the oscillator lines (not just a convergence/divergence calculation between EMA of "close") Current market state is determined by which histogram is above zero line. For more confirmation, wait for...

Price-Volume Rank, designed by Anthony J. Macek, compares the direction of the change in price (up or down) to the direction of the change in volume and assigns a number to that specific relationship. By quantifying price/volume interaction, P-V rank seeks to determine our position within a typical market cycle. The various modes shown on the chart above or...

This is Covariance on Covariance. It shows you how much a given covariance period has deviated from it mean over another defined period. Because it is a time series, It can allow you to spot changes in how covariance changes. You can apply trend lines, Fibonacci retracements, etc. This is also volume weighting covariance. This is not a directional indicator nor...

Co-variance is a representation of the average percent data points deviate from there mean. A standard calculation of Co-variance uses One standard Deviation. Using the empirical rule, we can assume that about 68.26% of Data points lie in this range. The advantage to plotting co variance as a time series is that it will show you how volatility of a trailing...

The Volatility Switch (VOLSWITCH) indicator, by Ron McEwan, estimates current volatility in respect to historical data, thus indicating whether the market is trending or in mean reversion mode. Range is normalized to 0 - 1. When Volatility Switch rises above the 0.5 level, volatility in the market is increasing, thus the price action can be expected to become...

A problem I noticed with the built in Vortex indicator was that it didn't include any defined thresholds that are important to understanding how to read the vortex indicator. So I modified the vortex indicator in order to have the thresholds built in so you don't have to draw horizontal lines on your chart.

This is a 3 EMA visualization tool. Relative momentum across 3 timeframes are rendered as A/B/C waves. Also, helpful in identifying spike/exhaustion bars. When all the waves are in the same direction, the momentum is very high on that direction. I have made all options configurable, have fun tuning for your instrument :) Complete list of all my indicators:...

Draws a trend line (like MA) and colors them based on the trend. - Ribbon Mode: Shown at the bottom pane. No trend lines are drawn. - OverlayMode: Bars are colored based on the...

Anchored Momentum (AMOM), by Rudy Stefenel, is a modified momentum indicator to capture the relative momentum. AMOM uses SMA as the reference for deriving momentum, thereby anchoring it to that MA rather than "value of close n bars back". Mr.Stefenel suggests using this like other oscillators -- crossing signal line, crossing zero, divergences. For alerts, use...

Market Direction Indicator (MDI), by Donald Lambert, is an extension of simple moving average cross over systems. Series of price cross over points are determined to derive MDI. Note that the short/long lengths will differ between instruments. They need to be tuned properly. I have added an option to specify a "cutoff" parameter. When MDI is in the cutoff zone...

VMA Bands are ATR bands with VMA as its centre. For a description of options, refer to my VMA post: I have moved VMA calculation in to a separate function. Feel free to use calc_vma() in your scripts. For more MA calculation function (KAMA, VIDYA and others), refer to my complete list of indicators below. Wish you all a very prosperous New year. Hope these...

Variable Moving Average, often abbreviated as VMA, is an Exponential Moving Average developed by Tushar S. Chande. VMA automatically adjusts its smoothing constant on the basis of Market Volatility. Use this like other Moving Averages. I have added the following options that can be enabled via options page: - Trend Direction Indication: Green = Up trend, Blue =...

Universal Oscillator by Mr. Ehlers is an evolution of his SuperSmoother filter. The new indicator follows the swings in price without introducing extra delay. It is controlled through one single input – the band edge – which basically is frequency. The smaller it is set, the less lag there is, but you may see lot of whipsaws. Built-in automatic gain control...

It is based on Mr.Vervoort's other indicator, HACO (Heikin-Ashi Candles Oscillator - posted here: ). Optimized for long-term trading, HACOLT shows three levels: -1, 0 and 1. These levels suggest "an open short position", "no open position", and "an open long...

Heiken-Ashi Candlestick Oscillator (HACO), by Sylvian Vervoort, is a digital oscillator version of the colored candlesticks. Explanation from Vervoort: "HACO is not meant to be an automatic trading system, so when there is a buy or sell signal from HACO, make sure it is confirmed by other TA techniques. HACO will certainly aid in signaling buy/sell...
