This long-only stock strategy enters after price crosses above a threshold based on the prior 254 bars’ high and closing-price volatility. The entry condition adds a 3% buffer above that threshold. It sets a 15% loss stop and uses Wilder’s ARC as a trailing…

The indicator constructs synthetic candles from four TRiX values calculated for the source instrument’s open, close, high, and low. Because TRiX is based on triple exponential moving averages, the resulting candles are described as smooth. A Keltner channel…
XDPO_HTF_Signal presents the output of the XDPO_Sign indicator on a selected bar and timeframe. It uses a right-pointing arrow when the existing trend continues and a diagonal arrow when the trend changes; arrow color and direction communicate the trend or…
The document introduces a histogram indicator based on Andrew Abraham’s “Trading the Trend” article in TASC. It says the indicator aims to follow the original article’s description, in contrast to renamed or modified versions of the system. The displayed…
The document describes a stock selection screen combining daily price amplitude with weekly chart signals. Its technical conditions are amplitude above 1, a positive weekly histogram, and a weekly MA5 crossing above MA10. It then proposes adding a…
The True Strength Index (TSI) is presented as a momentum-based indicator intended to show trend direction and overbought or oversold conditions. It smooths price momentum, calculated from the change in closing price, with exponential moving averages. The…
This MetaTrader 5 expert advisor is described as a trend-following and momentum approach for swing trades. It uses the last completed candle and compares the 50-period and 200-period exponential moving averages to determine trend direction. When a trend is…
The document explains a variation on Bill Williams’s Awesome Oscillator. The standard indicator subtracts a 34-period simple moving average of bar midpoints from a 5-period simple moving average of the same values, using the midpoint of each bar’s high and…
This indicator design replaces the stochastic oscillator’s rolling high-low range with standard-deviation bands around a smoothed least-squares moving average. It computes a linear-regression endpoint, smooths it with an EMA, and adds and subtracts a…
The MA Trend indicator summarizes where the closing price sits relative to a fan of moving averages. For each average, it assigns a positive value when the close is above it and a negative value when the close is below it, then averages those values. The…
The Purple Cloud indicator combines ATR-based volatility bands, a SuperTrend trend filter, and 20-, 50-, and 200-period exponential moving averages. It marks potential reversals when price crosses a band and the indicator’s trend state changes. SuperTrend…
The Line Regression Intercept (LRI) fits an ordinary least-squares line to a rolling window of closing prices, then plots the fitted value at the window’s oldest bar. Because this is not the fitted value at the current bar, the baseline trails price and is…
This guide defines a price gap as a discontinuity between consecutive bars and describes how chartists interpret gaps in relation to trends. Common gaps are small and frequent, and often fill, so the document treats them as offering little directional…
The document describes an elastic volume-weighted moving average (eWMA) and a band intended to mark possible support or resistance and help identify trend changes. The average updates using current volume relative to the sum of volume over a chosen period,…
The document presents a smoothed variation of the Heiken Ashi indicator. Instead of feeding raw prices into its calculations, the method first uses filtered or averaged prices. The stated aim is to reduce some false signals and make the indicator easier to…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades changes in the direction of the ColorXdinMA moving average. A signal is formed when a bar closes and the moving average changes direction, making the closing bar the stated decision point. The advisor…
This ProRealCode example describes a daily strategy for the US 100 that uses a smoothed Bollinger %b oscillator built from Heiken Ashi prices and repeated TEMA smoothing. It enters long positions when the oscillator is below a lower threshold and price is…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 indicator that combines the MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) with the Following Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA) and allows their use with multiple chart timeframes. Alongside platform-supported timeframes, it offers…
This indicator is a second version of a stochastic oscillator combined with a Super Smoother treatment. Its added feature is a color-coded stochastic component plotted around a central 50 level. The author presents the visual treatment as a way to make the…
The document explains the Momentum indicator as a measure of price change over a chosen lookback, calculated by dividing the current close by the close from n bars earlier and scaling the ratio by 100. It describes two common interpretations. As a…
The document proposes a trend-oriented grid as a position management and exit framework that can be paired with different entry signals. It divides capital into ten portions, opens with one portion after an entry condition, and sets a midpoint, stop, and…
The proposed stock screen selects companies associated with the metaverse theme, whose previous closing price is above the 250-day moving average, and whose listing year is 2021. The long moving average acts as a broad price-trend filter, while the theme and…
The LBR Paint Bars indicator colors candles according to their position relative to a volatility cloud. The cloud boundaries are built from rolling highs and lows over a chosen lookback period, adjusted inward or outward by a distance based on the average…
JuiceZ is described as a financial-asset volatility indicator built from the absolute value of the OSMA oscillator, a chart point value, and a user-set level. That level defines a flat region: OSMA readings beneath it cause the indicator to be negative. The…
