The document describes an attempt to compress several Ichimoku comparisons into a separate histogram so that signals can be viewed without adding clutter to the main price chart. Five conditions compare the conversion and base lines, current and lagged…
This indicator labels price bars using comparisons between each bar’s high and low and those of the preceding bar. It distinguishes inside bars, outside bars, bars making both a higher high and higher low, and bars making both a lower high and lower low. The…
The document defines a simple candlestick signal that labels a bar as bullish, bearish, or neutral. A bullish signal requires the current candle to close above its open and above the previous high, while opening below the previous low. A bearish signal…
The Alan Square, also called DaBox, is a price action framework built from the prior period’s high and low. It marks the range boundaries, midpoint, quarter levels, and extensions, then projects diagonal lines from key levels. Major angles are described as…
The Alligator indicator combines three smoothed moving averages with periods of 5, 8, and 13, named the Lips, Teeth, and Jaw. Their differing speeds and forward shifts create a set of lines that respond at different rates to price movement. The description…
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…
This indicator identifies bullish or bearish engulfing candles using either candle bodies or full high-low ranges. A configurable lookback checks whether a chosen number of preceding closes moved consecutively in one direction, then requires that sequence…
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 indicator identifies intraday support and resistance from rolling lows and highs. It checks whether an extreme remains unchanged across a confirmation lookback, then smooths repeated values and records levels that persist across consecutive bars. A…
The document describes a ProRealCode indicator that smooths price inputs before calculating Heikin-Ashi open, high, low, and close values. A second set of configurable averages smooths those derived candle values. The indicator can either draw the smoothed…
This stock strategy builds a daily signal from two nested exponential moving averages: a longer average of closing prices and a shorter average of that result. Their percentage difference serves as a proxy for comparing daily and weekly RSI behavior around…
The document explains an indicator that automates wedge-style chart analysis by detecting pivot highs and lows, connecting selected pivots into upper and lower trendlines, and projecting each line forward by 20 bars. A configurable lookback determines which…
The document presents an indicator that draws Heikin-Ashi candles and marks narrow-body candles as potential dojis. It distinguishes an upward case, a downward case, and an undecided case, using the relationship between the Heikin-Ashi and regular candle…
This indicator note explains a WaveTrend oscillator port and describes two proposed crossover signals: a bearish signal when the oscillator crosses below its signal line while above the overbought band, and a bullish signal when it crosses above the signal…
The Genesis Matrix dashboard combines four colored signals into a directional filter: TVI slope, CCI relative to zero, T3 moving-average slope, and a GannHiLo price test. The described system triggers a buy when all four indicators turn blue from red, and a…
This indicator converts closing prices into rolling standardized deviations from their recent averages, then smooths the results across three lookback horizons. The supplied periods are 180, 60, and 20 observations. Each series subtracts its lookback average…
This indicator calculates conventional pivot levels from the prior period’s high, low, and close, with selectable daily, weekly, monthly, or four-hour periods. It uses the resulting range to plot a central pivot, three resistance levels, three support…
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…
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,…
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…
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 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…
