Connors RSI is described as an oscillator formed by averaging three components: a conventional RSI on the chosen price, an RSI applied to the length of consecutive up or down closes, and a percentile-rank measure of recent changes. The streak component…
This short indicator description presents a Stochastic Oscillator derived from William Blau’s Stochastic Momentum concept, as discussed in his book on momentum, direction, and divergence. The implementation displays the oscillator as a color-coded histogram…
The document explains a ZigZag indicator that stores swing highs and lows in separate buffers. A candidate high or low is identified by comparing it with the corresponding values across a configurable number of earlier bars; the stated default lookback is…
The document introduces PAIN, a price-action oscillator that displays an OHL3C candlestick price ratio over a chosen period. Its two controls are the calculation period and the moving-average method. The description identifies the moving average used in the…
The Expert Advisor described here trades changes in the direction of the HullTrendOSMA histogram. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the indicator’s direction has changed, making the strategy a reversal-signal approach. The document also states that…
The document explains the KDJ indicator’s calculation from a recent price range. It finds the highest high and lowest low over the selected period, then expresses the current close’s distance above the low as a percentage of that range. This raw stochastic…
This document describes a chart indicator for MetaTrader that extends the standard crosshair with two readings: the percentage difference between selected price points and the elapsed time between them. Time is displayed in familiar units such as hours,…
The document describes an indicator that reports the minimum and maximum amplitude over a chosen period. It presents the measure as a way to observe volatility and the size of past price swings, and as a possible substitute for ATR. A relative amplitude…
This tutorial presents pyfolio as a Python toolkit for evaluating trading strategies through return, position, transaction, stress-period, and Bayesian analyses. Its central output is a set of tear sheets combining tables and plots, with lower-level plotting…
This brief description explains an indicator-based breakout system built around a Mikahekin channel. The visual signal changes when price moves outside a gray channel, with blue indicating an upward trend and yellow indicating a downward trend. Candle colors…
This document outlines a basic automated scalp approach that uses the Zigzag indicator to identify recent price highs and lows. The system treats those swing points as potential support or resistance, draws a trend line based on the market’s reaction around…
This document describes a customized Envelopes indicator that displays the channel as a filled cloud, labels its latest values, and adds a price grid based on rounded channel levels. A user input controls the number of digits used for rounding, allowing the…
This expert-advisor description outlines a once-per-day RSI strategy with separate buy and sell signals. For a buy, RSI must be above 50 on the hourly timeframe, and the stop distance must satisfy a configured maximum. The stop is placed beyond the prior…
This brief indicator note describes a timeframe-selection option for KaufWMAcross. A user can choose the chart period from the indicator’s inputs; the example default is a four-hour timeframe. The central idea is to make the indicator’s calculations…
The Percent Difference Oscillator (PDO) expresses the gap between the current closing price and a moving average as a percentage of that average. Its calculation divides the close-minus-average difference by the average and multiplies by 100, so positive…
This short note addresses a chart-display problem in MetaTrader 4: arrows placed on a chart may appear at changing distances from price bars after the user scrolls. That shifting presentation can make the markers hard to see and interpret. The proposed…
This note describes a higher-timeframe variant of the XWPR_Histogram_Vol indicator. A timeframe input lets the user select the chart period used by the indicator; the example sets that input to a four-hour period by default. The document also states that the…
This brief description introduces i-GAP, a semaphore-style indicator that generates signals when price gaps appear. It identifies the creator and notes that an earlier version was implemented in MQL4 and published in 2008. The document does not explain how…
The expert advisor described here uses a moving average to determine entries and offers two martingale variants. After a loss, one variant opens a larger trade in the opposite direction; the other opens a larger trade based on whether price is above or below…
This alert tool monitors an indicator that compares linear, quadratic, logarithmic, and exponential regressions, then selects the model that best fits the analyzed data. It notifies the trader when that selection changes, including when the fitted regression…
This document describes an expert advisor built around Parabolic Stop and Reverse signals. A trade signal is generated after a bar closes and the indicated trend direction changes. The system can also apply a fixed maximum holding period, closing an open…
The document introduces volume-weighted average price as an intraday benchmark for comparing a stock’s current trading level with its volume-weighted average for the day. It notes that institutional traders and algorithms use VWAP to assess execution or…
Spectr is described as an indicator that measures the oscillation spectrum of a financial asset and normalizes it using a simple moving average. This gives a brief conceptual description of how the indicator relates price movement to a moving average, but…
This note introduces fractal dimension as a way to describe how price patterns retain similar roughness across chart timeframes. It explains the concept through covering a pattern with objects of different sizes: the relationship between the number and scale…
