Corrected Average, also called Optimal Moving Average, is a smoothed indicator intended to avoid following price for small deviations that may produce false trend signals. It starts with a moving average of the selected applied price, using a configurable…
This indicator places two moving averages, labeled fast and slow, in the main chart window and uses a colored histogram to show the gap between a selected pair of values. The histogram can represent price versus the fast average, price versus the slow…
This stock-selection idea combines three filters: daily range relative to an average true range measure, a large single-day gain within the recent 25 trading days, and a weekly moving-average crossover intended to identify a longer-term uptrend. The…
This document describes a semaphore signal indicator built around the XCCX_StDev oscillator. Its configurable mode selects among five signal rules: oscillator levels alone, deviation thresholds alone, both conditions together, or the combined conditions…
The Damiani Volameter is presented as a filter for identifying whether market conditions are trending or ranging. It compares a volatility meter with a threshold: the document says a green line above the black line indicates a trend, while the reverse…
This simple expert-advisor concept uses an 8-period weighted moving average and a 28-period exponential moving average to generate directional trades. A cross of the weighted average above the exponential average opens a long position; a cross below opens a…
This overview describes several ways to trade short-term moves in continuously open crypto markets. It groups trend following and momentum among simpler approaches, then discusses range trading, breakouts and news-driven volatility. More demanding methods…
This article introduces trend following, mean reversion, arbitrage, and high-frequency trading, then argues that trend following is the most accessible of these approaches for individual A-share investors. It describes trend following as entering in the…
The SP Indicator combines a smoothed moving-average line with volatility-based upper and lower bands. Candle colors indicate whether price is above, below, or between the bands: these states are presented as bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions. Optional…
The document describes an A-share stock screen combining three technical conditions: price amplitude above a threshold, MACD below zero two days earlier, and the 20-day moving average above the 120-day average. The moving-average relationship is intended to…
This expert advisor combines a three-moving-average crossover signal with a Price Channel indicator. The moving averages expose configurable periods, shifts, and calculation methods, while the crossover component can be configured for current-bar signals and…
The document describes a visual variation of the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator. It calculates the difference between fast and slow exponential averages, then compares the resulting MACD line with its prior value to determine whether…
This opinion piece presents trading principles drawn from an interview with a Chinese market participant. It argues for acting on clearly defined chart breaks or confirmed volume-supported moves, using public policy and industry developments to identify…
The document describes a velocity indicator presented as a smoother form of momentum. It says the calculation uses T3 smoothing and displays velocity as a tape, with Heikin Ashi prices included among the available price inputs. Its suggested use is the same…
BykovTrend presents its signals as colored candlesticks. Green candles indicate rising signals and orange candles indicate falling signals. Candle brightness distinguishes signals aligned with the prevailing trend from those running against it: aligned…
The document describes an approximation of a curvature trend indicator using an exponential moving average as its central trend line and average true range to scale upper and lower bands. The bands begin at a chosen ATR multiple from the moving average, then…
The document describes a TDI indicator displayed as a trend index line, a direction line, and a directional histogram. Its calculation uses a configurable period and applied price. The histogram indicates the favored trade direction: upward for buying and…
This indicator adapts Bollinger Bands by calculating a moving average and the standard deviation of closing prices, then offsetting the resulting upper and lower bands by a chosen number of bars. The stated purpose is to display a support and resistance…
This post outlines a Chinese equity screen that combines metaverse-sector membership, an arc-shaped price pattern, and a prior-day close above the 250-day moving average. The long moving-average condition is intended to favor stocks already in an established…
I Seek Trends adapts the ATR-based SuperTrend by inserting neutral phases between confirmed bullish and bearish states. Its five states distinguish established trends, transitions out of either trend, and full neutrality after a failed breakout. When price…
This stock screening approach combines a Metaverse concept classification with an upward-sloping 30-day moving average and fundamental filters. It first selects companies associated with the theme, then looks for a rising average and firms below the stated…
The indicator colors a chart background according to whether the close agrees with both Supertrend and Parabolic SAR. It marks an upward condition when the close is above both indicators and a downward condition when the close is below both. The example uses…
This MetaTrader indicator displays the direction or trade signal produced by the Stalin indicator for a chosen bar and timeframe. It marks continuing trends with a colored star and trend changes with a directional arrow, and can also issue alerts and audio…
