HawkEye volume, developed by Nigel Hawks, is supposed to be a premier VSA indicator. Documentation on this is scarce (looks like the training seminars/sessions conducted by the parent company cover this in detail), if you come across any (other than what I have mentioned on that chart) do let me know. I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial...

I know a Trader that went 18 months without a losing trade. This Trader averaged trading 700-800 contracts per month in the Futures markets. The was not his only system but here were his rules. He looked at the 60 minute bar and calculated the ranges of the bars over the last 3 months. IF the range of the Bar was Greater Than the 99th Percentile, He would Fade...

VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications: * Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish. * The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price. * A volatility threshold...

This indicator displays the trend-adjusted price activity of a security. It oscillates around the zero-line. It is usually plotted as OHLC, but Pine doesn't have this support yet. So, I have rendered OHLC separately (see chart for the details). This indicator is particularly useful for ‘scalping’ in a sideways market, where there is limited movement taking...

Rainbow Charts, by Mel Widner, is a trend detector. It uses recursively smoothed MAs (remember, this idea was proposed back in 1997 -- it was certainly cool back then!) and also builds an oscillator out of the MAs. Oscillator bands indicate the stability range. I have also included a simple binary wave based on whether all the MAs are in an upward slope or not....

Krivo index, suggested by Richard Krivo, tries to quantify the "strength" of a currency by checking how many of its pairs are trading strongly (close above 200sma). As you can see from the chart, KI gives an excellent overview of their strength. Note how it correctly points out the JPY crash (Nov 2012). I decided to implement KI for each currency separately to...

I have included ports of 2 indicators from MT4 (not from the original commercial source). I couldn't cross check if these matched their commercial equivalents (you need to assume they don't!). If you own any of these in other platforms, appreciate if you could publish some comparison results here. Kase Peak Oscillator is the difference between two trend...

ChartMill Value Indicator & Modified ChartMill Value Indicator : ------------------------------- Developed by Dirk Vandycke, CVI tracks how far the price spread is from its MA.

Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price...

According to Elder, "The Impulse System encourages you to enter a trade cautiously but exit fast, by identifying inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. This is the professional approach to trading, the total opposite of the amateur's style. Beginners jump into trades without thinking too much and take forever to get out, hoping and waiting for...

WaveTrend Oscillator is a port of a famous TS/MT indicator. When the oscillator is above the overbought band (red lines) and crosses down the signal (dotted line), it is usually a good SELL signal. Similarly, when the oscillator crosses above the signal when below the Oversold band (green lines), it is a good BUY signal. I have marked some cross-overs in the...

These indicators, from John Ehlers' book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures", are EMA alternatives. The basic idea behind all these is to try to get smoothing with as little lag as possible. As you can see from the chart, they are much smoother, have better response, and a closer match to market prices. Basically, all the responsiveness of a faster...
