The document describes a True Strength Index oscillator paired with two sequentially smoothed signal lines, called shadows. It lists adjustable inputs for the price source and its period, two TSI smoothing periods, each shadow’s averaging period and method,…
This short note describes a basic trading-platform script that records close prices alongside date and time fields, then writes the records to a comma-separated file in the platform’s default files folder. The intended use is to make price observations…
This indicator description explains an alert tool for the Stochastic oscillator. It sends notifications when the main and signal lines intersect and the signal cloud changes color. Configurable inputs include the oscillator periods, smoothing method, price…
