This indicator adapts a stochastic oscillator’s lookback window to an estimated market cycle. It first smooths the midpoint of each bar’s high and low, then derives in-phase and quadrature components using a digital filter. A homodyne discriminator estimates…
This document describes a value chart indicator that plots normalized highs and lows rather than full OHLC candles. It calculates a recent range from summed highs and lows over a configurable depth, derives a central axis and volatility unit from those sums,…
This indicator seeks potential market tops and bottoms by comparing short and long Laguerre-smoothed price series. It calculates a percentage price oscillator from their difference, then ranks the current oscillator against its values over a rolling lookback…
This document presents a simple indicator for measuring how far the current closing price sits, in percentage terms, from an exponential moving average. It calculates the average over a configurable period, then expresses the difference between the close and…
This indicator transforms a stochastic oscillator through two exponential smoothing stages and then maps the result into a bounded signal value. The supplied settings use a 130-period stochastic, a smoothing period of 10, and thresholds at 0.85 and -0.8. A…
This note describes a simple candlestick rule for flagging bearish shooting stars and bullish hammers. It first requires the high-to-low range to exceed twice the absolute distance between open and close, identifying candles with relatively small bodies. It…
This indicator estimates whether recent market regimes favor an uptrend or downtrend and tracks the calibration of its own probability forecasts. It classifies each bar using price change over a lookback window scaled by ATR. Changes beyond a positive or…
This short indicator note proposes viewing price action with candlesticks plotted at inverted values, alongside volume, to gain another perspective on potential market turning points. Its example implementation lets the user switch between ordinary and…
The author presents a DAX strategy on a 30-minute chart that identifies swing highs and lows using moving averages, then enters in the direction of a break beyond those levels. Stochastic and short moving-average filters gate entries, while average true…
The Trend Speed Analyzer combines an adaptive exponential average on the price chart with a separate histogram intended to show the direction and intensity of trend momentum. Its average changes responsiveness using normalized price changes and an…
This document describes two price-action patterns attributed to Larry Williams and presents them as possible reversal signals. The first pattern identifies a bar that moves beyond a recent low or high and then closes beyond the preceding bar’s corresponding…
This indicator plots a selected moving average and colors it according to one chosen oscillator: CCI, RSI, Stochastic, Cycle, or Directional Index. The user can configure the moving-average period and type, oscillator periods, and which oscillator controls…
This indicator uses the position of closing, high, and low prices within Bollinger Bands to identify moves beyond the bands after a contraction. It averages the prior three high and low percentile readings, then tracks conditions above the upper band or…
This indicator compares the average price path after a chosen market condition with the average path after that condition is absent. The user selects a projection horizon and specifies a condition, such as a rising stochastic reading combined with price…
This document explains a chart heatmap that compares an instrument’s typical volume or volatility across months, days of the month, weekdays, or hours. It calculates each period’s total volume or true range, groups observations by the selected calendar…
This strategy uses Internal Bar Strength (IBS), calculated from a bar’s close relative to its high-low range, to identify unusually weak or strong closes. For gold, it proposes buying when IBS falls below a chosen threshold and exiting when price closes…
The indicator places three volatility-scaled bands above and below a smoothed moving average. Band distances use ATR multiplied by Fibonacci-related factors, with the center average providing trend context. The article describes the zones between the middle…
This strategy looks for a narrow-range setup: the current bar sits inside the previous bar and its range is below the recent minimum. It requires Bollinger Band width to be near a recent low, ADX to exceed a threshold, and short-term ATR to be greater than a…
The document introduces nine indicators that compare historical range, volume, and equity gains or losses across calendar periods. For each measure, the collection examines months, weeks, and days of the week to identify periods that have tended to be above…
This post presents an intraday strategy for the FTSE 100, with forex pairs also mentioned as instruments the author trades. It looks for a candle whose open-to-close move exceeds twice a 12-period average true range. A large down candle triggers a long…
This strategy adapts a three-day high-low pattern to one-minute bars on the DAX 40. It enters long when the latest close is above a 200-bar moving average but below a 5-bar average, and when highs and lows have declined across a sequence of recent bars. The…
This indicator marks several price-action reversal setups built from relationships between consecutive bars. It classifies bars as inside, outside, directional up, directional down, two-up, or two-down, with a tolerance parameter to reduce sensitivity to…
The document describes a chart indicator that marks bullish and bearish ABCD price patterns. It tracks candidate swing points A through D, applies Fibonacci retracement levels to assess the C point, and uses extension levels to locate D. Adjustable settings…
MSL Trend Follow combines confirmed swing-point breaks with an ATR-based trailing stop to identify and track directional trends. A close above the latest confirmed swing high signals an uptrend; a close below the latest confirmed swing low signals a…
