This document describes a static zigzag built from crossings between fast and slow moving averages. A bullish cross starts a green leg, while a bearish cross starts a red leg. The proposed interpretation treats a downward red leg as a buy signal in…

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,…
The document explains a trend indicator attributed to Andrew Abraham’s 1998 article. It defines trend direction using a trailing level built from a weighted average of true range. True range is the largest of the current high-low range and the gaps from the…
This document describes a chart indicator that displays trend direction and trade signals derived from the UltraWPR indicator on a selected bar. It uses a colored background: pale shades mark trend continuation, while brighter shades distinguish buy and sell…
This document outlines a trend indicator that uses a crossover involving a pivot level and its median. It defines the pivot level from the maximum and minimum prices over a specified number of bars together with the closing price. The described calculation…
This article explains why trend-following systems often endure repeated small losses in pursuit of occasional large gains. It advises traders to select a trend horizon that fits their tolerance, comparing possible timeframes through backtests, and to define…
This document explains the Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO), a bounded indicator intended to estimate market-cycle periods over short and intermediate horizons. It describes a centerline as a balance between bullish and bearish periods, with outer levels…
This expert-advisor design turns four RSI readings into a single weighted perceptron score. It uses RSI periods of 12, 36, 108, and 324, rescales each indicator around zero, and combines them with weights selected through optimization. The trading threshold…
The document explains an exponentially weighted moving average crossover (EWMAC) forecast. It subtracts a slower exponential moving average of price from a faster one, then divides that difference by daily price volatility. A positive or negative result…
The document describes a trend oscillator that estimates the dominant direction of candlestick closing prices over a selected period. It identifies two user settings: the lookback period and a calculation method. This positions the indicator as a way to…
This stock screen combines three technical conditions: overlap among the 5-, 10-, 20-, 60-, and 120-day moving averages; a concentration measure subject to a stated threshold; and shortening green bars in the 15-minute MACD histogram. The document describes…
The SSL Hybrid combines several moving average channels with ATR bands to show trend direction, possible continuation entries, exits, and volatility. SSL1 acts as the baseline trend signal: its color indicates bullish or bearish conditions, while a neutral…
This indicator defines a modified Detrended Price Oscillator as the closing price minus a moving average. Users can adjust the moving average period, calculation method, and applied price, allowing them to change the resulting curve. The description says…
This indicator method turns a stair-step moving average into the center of an oscillator. It updates the trend center when a triangular moving average moves beyond a configurable percentage threshold; otherwise, the prior center is retained. A short simple…
The document outlines a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor that combines moving average crossover signals with grid entries. It describes using fast and slow simple moving averages on an hourly chart, with volume and volatility checks to filter signals. Additional…
This indicator changes two parts of a conventional RSI setup. First, it filters prices with a selectable moving average before calculating RSI, aiming to reduce false signals without adding substantial lag. Second, it assesses trends with Discontinued Signal…
This indicator example applies spectral filtering to the Average Directional Index (ADX). It transforms the ADX time series into frequency components and removes higher-order harmonics to produce a smoother series. The stated motivation is to reduce…
This note describes Trend Force, an indicator that displays bullish and bearish trend strength as separate measures. Bullish strength compares the close with the lowest low over a recent lookback, while bearish strength compares the highest high with the…
This Chinese-language article describes an equity screen restricted to the metaverse concept group. It selects stocks whose close is above the five-day moving average and whose weekly MACD is above zero, using these conditions as short- and medium-term trend…
This Expert Advisor generates signals from intersections of TDI-2 indicator lines, evaluated when a bar closes. It follows the direction of the signal and adds to an existing position when the profit from the most recent trade, measured in points, exceeds a…
This indicator adapts the SuperTrend period using the coefficient of determination from a rolling linear fit of recent prices. It computes an R-squared value over the configured lookback and uses that value to adjust the period supplied to SuperTrend, aiming…
Adaptive Momentum Fusion modifies MACD by recalculating the smoothing speed of its fast and slow averages on each bar. Six selectable engines use efficiency, volatility, fractal behavior, momentum, volume, or a composite of those measures to adjust…
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…
The indicator aims to reduce the lag of a simple moving average by incorporating price velocity. It offers three ways to measure velocity: central velocity for a smoother value, forward velocity referenced to the current bar for greater sensitivity to recent…
