The MACD Squeeze indicator adapts the squeeze concept to a MACD histogram. It identifies a potential trading zone when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Bands, using the compression as a condition for deciding when to focus on the MACD signal. The…
This A-share screening proposal combines daily price amplitude above 1%, an outstanding convertible-bond name, and a large reversal-style candle. The example formula treats a session as qualifying when the close is at least 5% above the open or the open is…

This market commentary interprets crypto options conditions ahead of the U.S. election, focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum realized volatility, implied volatility, skew, term structure, and relative performance. It describes realized volatility as stable while…
The Deviation Oscillator is presented as a volatility-oriented indicator that measures the distance between an applied price and its moving average, then scales that distance using the minimum and maximum deviations observed over a selected range. The result…
This post outlines a Chinese equity screen combining a daily range above 1%, dates in 2021, and a current low below the prior day's low. Its final stated selection also adds valuation filters: a price-to-earnings ratio below 30 and a price-to-book ratio…
This note describes a simple technical screen for Chinese stocks: select observations from 2021 where the daily high-low range exceeds 1% and the current high equals the highest high over the current and prior day. The author frames a large range as a sign…
This indicator description explains a ZigZag variant that calculates turning points from the high and low values of Heikin Ashi candles. The Heikin Ashi period is configurable, and users can choose whether the Heikin Ashi candles themselves are displayed.…
This stock-selection idea filters for daily price amplitude of at least 1%, turnover above 2% and no more than 9%, and a closing price between the middle and upper Bollinger Bands. The post presents these conditions as a way to find actively traded, volatile…
ColorXATR is a chart indicator that smooths the Average True Range and displays the result as price-chart points. Its color is intended to distinguish strengthening trends from weakening ones: red indicates strengthening and yellow indicates weakening. Users…
This note describes a Chinese equity screen combining three conditions: daily amplitude above 1, no limit-up close on the prior day, and an opening price near the 10-day moving average. It frames amplitude as a way to find more active stocks, excludes recent…
