RedK Relative Strength Ribbon (RedK RS_Ribbon) is TA tool that plots the Relative Strength of the current chart symbol against another symbol, or an index of choice. It enables us to see when a stock is gaining strength (or weakness) relative to (an index that represents) the market, and when it hits new highs or lows of that relative strength, which may lead to...
The "Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)" is another weapon for the VPA (Volume Price Analysis) enthusiasts and traders who like to include volume-based insights & signals to their trading. The basic concept is to estimate the sell and buy split of the traded volume by extrapolating the price action represented by the shape of the...
This script is more of an educational / utility piece rather than a fully-fledged indicator - It provides an easy way to customize and produce a zero-lag Moving average that can then be used in various scenarios What is DIY_ZLMA? ------------------------ The DIY ZLMA is for fans and enthusiasts of researching Moving Averages (like me) - the script enables the...
RedK EVEREX is an experimental indicator that explores "Volume Price Analysis" basic concepts and Wyckoff law "Effort versus Result" - by inspecting the relative volume (effort) and the associated (relative) price action (result) for each bar - showing the analysis as an easy to read "stacked bands" visual. From that analysis, we calculate a "Relative Rate of...
RedK TrendBeads is a super simple 3 x Moving Average Crossover Signal (Long/Short/Break) script that provides a simple and effective way for traders to identify potential trading opportunities. By combining three moving averages and only exposing a simple signal, the script helps filter out noise and focus on the trend and the trade...
Moving Averages are probably the most commonly used analysis tools, and MACD is possibly the first charting indicator a trader gets to learn about. MACD Basic concept ---------------------------- Without repeating all the tons of documentation about what MACD does, let's quickly re-visit the MACD concept from a 10-mile altitude (note we're keen on simplifying...
The RedK Chop & Breakout Scout (C&BS or just CBS) is a centered oscillator that helps traders identify when the price is in a chop zone, where it's recommended to avoid trading or exit existing trades - and helps identify (good & tradeable) price breakouts. i receive many questions asking for simple ways to identify chops .. Here's one way we can do that. (This...
VADER-DEB is not really a new indicator - This is a "visually enhanced" version of the Volume-Accelerated Directional Energy Ratio (VADER) I recently published - here's the direct link to read more about how RedK VADER works and how to use it (click the chart below to visit the link) The visual improvements I added in VADER-DEB helps bring more insight about...
Momentum Bars (Mo_Bars) offers a different way to visualize (relative) momentum - and uses some simple TA concepts to provide a different perspective into how we read momentum changes and incorporate that in our trading. The idea here (and the script itself) is really super simple, and is (very loosely) inspired by Elder's Impulse System (EIS) - then evolved to...
The Volume-Accelerated Directional Energy Ratio (VADER) makes use of price moves (displacement) and the associated volume (effort) to estimate the positive (buying) and negative (selling) "energy" behind the scenes, enabling traders to "read the market action" in more details and adjust their trading decisions accordingly. How does VADER...
Here's a quick and simple script that produces yet another Smooth and Lazy Moving Average - SALMA - that helps hide noise caused by extreme price fluctuations to enable better trend visualization and tracking Concept: =========== SALMA is based on a simple concept - we calculate a standard deviation channel of a user-selected width - then correct the price value...
The RedK Auto-Stepping Ladder Trader is an experimental tool to help identify trade entry and exits for various types of trades (Trend / Momentum / Breakout and Swing trades) The underlying concept here is loosely similar to the SMAC script - in case you'd like to read some of the "script-specific" write-up . I even borrowed some of the SMAC code, but upgraded...
The Stepping Moving Average Channel (SMAC) is not an indicator - It is more of a trading tool that was put together to enable a trader to take advantage of relatively fast price moves with quick incremental gain - maybe by exploiting opportunities to trade basic options (Calls, Puts) or to help with in/out-type swing trades. This is more a price-level...
RedK Magic Ribbon is simple script that combines a fast and a slow moving averages to create a 2-Moving Average Cross-over / trend visualization tool. We utilize the Compound Ratio Weighted Average (CoRa Wave) as the fast MA line and the RedK Slow Smooth Weighted Moving Average (RSS_WMA) aka LazyLine as the slow MA line. i put this script together when i...
Summary ========= The Bar Strength Inspector / Bar Strength Index (BSI) is an indicator that evaluates each price bar against a user-selectable set of "strength categories" - BSI then calculates a combined score from these categories and provides an index - plotted as a centered oscillator - roughly similar to the way Relative Strength Index (RSI) works, which...
RedK Volume-Weighted Directional Efficiency Index (DXF) is a momentum indicator - that builds on Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER) concept. DXF utilizes a restricted +100/-100 oscillator to represent the "quality" of a trend, and does a good job in detecting the possibility of an upcoming trend change (in both direction and quality), improving our ability to make...
RedK Portfolio Tracker is a simple tool that enables a trader to monitor and track a portfolio of up to 10 holdings (+ free cash) in real time - directly on the chart Now that we have tables in Pine, this is a table version of my previously published Portfolio Tracker - The table works better in visualizing the various table elements (title row, column...
RedK Slow Smooth Average (RSS_WMA) is based on simple, multi-WMA passes to generate a moving average that sacrifices low-lag and fast responsiveness for the sake of smoothness. This smoothness enables an increased trader ability to visualize and track longer-term trends and removes the noise of smaller, relatively insignificant price...
