This indicator combines the Relative Vigor Index oscillator with Bollinger Bands to define overbought and oversold boundaries. The bands are intended to adjust the reference thresholds to changing conditions, so oscillator extremes are evaluated relative to…
JMASlope measures the rate of price change after smoothing it with the JMA averaging method. The document positions it as a more responsive counterpart to Bill Williams’ Awesome Oscillator, offering a way to view changes in price momentum with smoothing…
This brief indicator description explains a channel display derived from a price histogram. It marks the histogram's upper boundary with a red line, highlights a central area where 60% of trades occur, and shows a wider area covering 90% of trades. Blue…
