This strategy description presents a long-only EUR/USD setup on the four-hour chart. It requires the 21-, 40-, and 100-period exponential moving averages to be ordered upward and rising. A candle must dip below the fastest average and close back above it,…
This indicator attempts to identify periods around a potential crossing between a shorter weighted moving average and a longer simple moving average. It marks a bullish zone when the weighted average is above the simple average while a second, smoothed…
The document describes a short-term DAX strategy on five-minute bars that trades breaks of the prior day’s high or low during a morning window. Long entries require price above a 14-period moving average and are allowed Monday through Thursday, with up to…
This indicator overlays two kinds of bands calculated from log-transformed closing prices. The statistical bands use a rolling average and standard deviation, similar in spirit to Bollinger Bands. The regression bands use a rolling ordinary least squares…
This indicator plots historical average returns for each calendar month using monthly price data. After a user selects a start month and year, it groups each month’s open-to-close changes across the available history and averages them. It displays the twelve…
The document describes a three-candle Popgun pattern: an inside candle is enclosed by two outside candles. It uses the direction of the second outside candle to choose long or short bias, then treats a break beyond that candle’s high or low within the next…
This indicator description adapts the pocket pivot concept associated with Chris Kacher and Gil Morales. It flags an up day when the close is above a longer-term moving average and the day's volume exceeds the largest volume seen on a down day in the recent…
This proposed EUR/USD strategy combines Bollinger Bands, a conventional RSI, a Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), and a custom ATR-based stop line. Long setups begin when price and the momentum measures reach specified lower extremes; the system then waits for the…
The document presents a four-hour forex system: a breakout approach for NZD/USD and a reversal variant for AUD/NZD, described as using the same code with long and short orders reversed. The sample rules combine the direction of recent daily closes, a…
This indicator identifies Bat, Gartley, Crab, Butterfly, AB=CD, and Three Drives formations by evaluating the last five confirmed ZigZag pivots as an XABCD sequence. It calculates retracement and extension ratios between the swings, then compares them with…
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…
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…
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 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…
The document describes a ProBuilder implementation of Larry Williams’s Ultimate Oscillator for use in backtests and automated trading systems. It calculates buying pressure relative to true range over three lookback windows: a base period, twice that period,…
This Gold trading system turns an observed relationship between price waves and the stochastic oscillator into entry and exit rules. It tracks stochastic values relative to upper and lower thresholds, then looks for a crossover against a smoothed stochastic…
The Pollan indicator combines the Commodity Channel Index and Relative Strength Index by comparing their values across a fixed window of historical bars. It forms two oppositely oriented series from the CCI–RSI and RSI–CCI differences, with a coefficient…
This long-only daily strategy seeks short-term rebounds in equity index CFDs while limiting entries to prices above a 200-period moving average. It sums RSI readings over the most recent two periods and enters when this cumulative measure falls below 35,…
This proposed daily stock strategy uses a three-line break reversal signal with a moving-average trend filter. It enters long after an upward reversal, when the moving average is rising or price is above it. The suggested stop is set using the prior…
This indicator compares price with several moving averages to describe market phase. On a daily chart, the author associates the 1,400-day average with a 200-week measure and uses 50-, 100-, and 200-day averages as shorter-term references. The indicator…
This DAX strategy uses a smoothed price signal crossing prior daily, weekly, or monthly highs and lows to trigger long and short trades. It applies moving-average filters to selected crossings, restricts entries to a stated intraday window, and varies…
The strategy identifies a signal bar whose high-to-low range is smaller than that of each of the six preceding bars. It then places a buy limit at the lowest low and a short limit at the highest high across those prior bars, aiming to trade reversals within…
