This indicator guide explains how logarithmic transformations can express price behavior in relative rather than absolute terms. It distinguishes a log price, calculated as the natural logarithm of the close, from log returns, calculated as the difference…
This brief page describes an MQL5 indicator for Chaikin smoothed volatility that allows the user to select the chart timeframe through an input parameter. The default shown is a four-hour period. The page is primarily an indicator listing and setup note: it…
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 newsletter links weaker U.S. payroll data and expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts with diverging moves in gold and crypto. It interprets low VIX readings, short VIX futures positioning, and differences between September and October VIX futures as…

Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) is presented as an exponential moving average whose effective smoothing changes with market volatility. The indicator uses the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) as its volatility measure, so its response can vary with…
This indicator overlays two colored channels derived from standard deviations of the High and Low values of smoothed indicator candles. Its parameters control the JMA smoothing depth and phase, a point gap to ignore, and the Bollinger-style calculation…
The analysis compares Binance BTC/FDUSD order book behavior around six 2025 Federal Open Market Committee decisions: five rate holds and one cut. It tracks five-minute averages of volatility, bid-ask spread, depth, order book imbalance, and pressure…
The proposed Chinese equity screen selects stocks with daily amplitude above 1, turnover between 2% and 9%, and a stated share-float ceiling of 5.5 billion shares. The intended rationale is to find stocks with notable price movement and trading activity…
This indicator plots a moving average of the difference between closing and low prices, normalized relative to Average True Range. It displays overbought and oversold thresholds in a separate chart window. Its inputs let the user choose the calculation…
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…
Grid trading places a series of buy and sell orders at set price intervals. As the market moves through those levels, orders can buy at lower prices and sell at higher ones. The approach seeks to collect gains from price fluctuations without relying on a…
The ExMass indicator is presented as a tool for evaluating market fluctuations. The document identifies its author and notes that the indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published in 2006. It provides no further explanation of the calculation, signal…
This Chinese equity selection proposal filters for stocks with daily amplitude above one percent, at least two limit-up events within the past 500 days, and a positive ten-day return below 35 percent. The rationale combines recent positive momentum with…
This proposed Chinese equity screen combines three conditions: daily amplitude above one percent, large-order net inflows during the afternoon, and membership in metaverse-related themes such as virtual reality, gaming, or digitalization. Its rationale is…
This weekly market note links macro conditions, Bitcoin exchange-traded fund flows, spot momentum, and options positioning. It reports that diminishing outflows from one fund and inflows to other funds accompanied a rise in Bitcoin, and discusses the…
This Chinese-language post outlines an equity screening idea combining daily amplitude above 1%, an opening price near the 10-day moving average, and an arc-shaped price pattern. The proposed rationale is to find stocks with meaningful movement that are near…
This algorithmic example describes a monthly volatility risk premium trade using SPY options and shares. It selects options with an expiry near one month, sells an at-the-money call and put to form a short straddle, and buys a put with a strike near 15%…
This indicator builds a rolling volume profile from completed bars and adjusts price-bin width using Average True Range. It limits the number of bins, identifies the Point of Control as the highest-volume bin, and expands from it to calculate the Value Area.…
