The document explains the Gann HiLo Activator as a trend-following indicator attributed to Robert Krausz. It compares the close with moving averages of prior highs and lows, using a three-period lookback in the supplied version. When price is above the…
The 89WMA Trend Aktivator is described as a standalone trend-following indicator with behavior similar to Supertrend. It begins with a weighted moving average, then derives two offset levels from shifted versions of that average. An average true range…
This stock-selection idea combines three short-term conditions: daily amplitude above a threshold, at least one limit-up event during the past month, and a positive ten-day return below an upper bound. The article’s proposed refinement adds a PEG ceiling,…
This indicator studies whether price tends to rise or fall on the bar after a run of consecutive candles with the same direction. It measures runs from one to twelve candles and simulates a long position entered at the close of the run and exited one candle…
This indicator estimates buying and selling pressure from candle bodies and wicks. It assigns values to bullish, bearish, and neutral candle configurations, then smooths the directional series with a Hull-style weighted average. The resulting upper and lower…
This indicator extends the classic SuperTrend by centering its bands on the midpoint of the recent high-low range, rather than the closing price. It offers three ways to measure the band width: Average True Range, standard deviation, or standard error. A…
Trend Envelopes is a trend-following overlay built from moving averages of highs and lows. The upper and lower bands form a range that responds to recent price extremes. A close beyond the prior band changes the regime; closes between the bands leave the…
The document defines a swing high or low by comparing a middle bar with the bars immediately before and after it. A swing high occurs when both the middle bar’s high and low exceed the corresponding values of both neighboring bars. A swing low occurs when…
The document defines a volume weighted moving average (VWMA) as the sum of each period’s closing price multiplied by its volume, divided by total volume over the same lookback. It recommends comparing the VWMA with a simple moving average (SMA) calculated…
This indicator adapts Average True Range for comparing stocks with different share prices. Standard ATR is expressed in price units, so equal ATR readings can represent different relative moves for securities trading at different prices. The proposed…
This indicator uses a slow Supertrend to define trend legs and automatically anchor Fibonacci retracement levels to each leg. At a trend flip, it resets the anchors using the flip bar and a five-bar lookback, then updates them as the leg makes new highs or…
This indicator description combines directional movement from ADX with Bollinger Bandwidth to visualize trend direction alongside volatility expansion. It colors the histogram green when the positive directional indicator is at least the negative one, and…
This indicator uses a rolling linear regression of closing prices to identify directional trend changes. It plots a blue line during a positive regime and a red line during a negative regime. The described settings use a 100-bar regression window and a…
The Double Seven method is presented as a long-only daily strategy for ETF or futures index markets. It first requires the close to be above its 200-day moving average. An entry occurs when the day’s low reaches or falls below the lowest close over the…
This indicator guide explains how to identify potential reversal patterns by finding price pivots, connecting them into a zigzag, and checking whether successive peaks or troughs fall within a configurable tolerance. The described defaults use a five-bar…
The Trading Activity Index gauges whether an instrument is unusually busy or quiet relative to its own recent history. It starts with price multiplied by volume, averages that dollar-volume measure over a short formation window, then applies a logarithm to…
The document describes a moving median indicator for price data and explains the underlying Torben search algorithm. For each window, the routine finds its minimum and maximum, tests a midpoint, and counts values below, above, or equal to that candidate. It…
This document describes a trend indicator that combines a Hull Moving Average (HMA), a modified HMA variant, and an optional Kalman-style filter. The filter updates a smoothed price estimate and velocity from the input series; the indicator then calculates…
This short indicator note describes an Awesome Oscillator implementation for ProRealTime, where the indicator is not included by default. It defines the oscillator as the difference between five-period and 34-period simple averages of median price. It also…
This document describes an indicator that estimates skewness and excess kurtosis over a selected rolling period of closing prices. Skewness summarizes distributional asymmetry, while kurtosis describes tail weight relative to a normal distribution. The…
This indicator uses a ZigZag series to identify turning points that are treated as fractal support and resistance. It detects a potential upward turn when the ZigZag value rises after a prior decline, and a downward turn when it falls after a prior rise. An…
This strategy combines daily mid-level filters with gap-related price comparisons to generate one long or short trade during the 9:00 AM bar. It calculates the midpoint of the prior day and the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low across configurable…
This strategy uses a five-minute chart to trade breakouts in the direction of a longer term moving average. For longs, price must be above the 200 period hourly average while remaining below its upper Bollinger boundary; a rising short term average and…
The document describes the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC), a trend-oriented oscillator built from the difference between short- and long-period Wilder averages. It normalizes that difference against its rolling high and low over a cycle window, scales the result,…
