This indicator tutorial describes a ZigZag that changes direction after price retraces a configurable percentage of the current wave. It tracks local highs and lows, the current wave’s start and end, and bar distances so it can move a plotted turning point…
This introduction shows how to build a futures trading rule and assemble it into a larger systematic trading process. Its example EWMAC forecast subtracts a slow exponential moving average from a fast one, then normalizes the difference by a robust estimate…
The document describes a QQE-based approach for assessing trends with a polychromatic momentum indicator. It characterizes the underlying momentum measure as fast, which can help identify trend changes promptly but may also make its signals overly sensitive.…
TrendManager is described as a trend-detection indicator that displays its readings as a colored cloud. The document identifies Matt Kennel as the author and notes that the indicator was originally written in MQL4 and published in 2007. The description does…
This indicator combines two HalfTrend series with different amplitudes. Their difference forms a histogram, and a six-period average of that difference serves as a signal line. The post describes MACD-style interpretations: a histogram crossing the zero line…
The document describes a chart indicator that displays a moving average in candlestick form. Rather than presenting the usual price candles, it visualizes the calculated average as a sequence of bullish or bearish candles, providing a candle-style view of…
This note introduces a smoothed variation of the range-weighted exponential moving average. It attributes the smoothing approach to a method discussed by Lee Leibfarth in work on adaptive price zones. The stated aim is to reduce noisy changes in the…
This document explains a trend indicator that plots a direction line in two colors and marks potential changes with arrows. Its two inputs are a lookback period and a strengthening percentage. The line calculation uses the close at the highest close within…
The document describes a velocity indicator as the difference between a Parabolic Weighted Moving Average and a Linear Weighted Moving Average. It says this construction is associated with what is commonly called Jurik Velocity, and presents a version with a…
The Modified Moving Average is presented as a way to reduce lag relative to a simple moving average. It combines an SMA of the selected price over a chosen period with a slope adjustment, using a period-based scaling factor. The document identifies the…
The article discusses translating plain-language trading rules into Python strategies for the QMT platform. Its example is a moving-average crossover on a named Chinese equity, with an all-in position rule and adjusted price data. The author reports that an…
The document presents a price-smoothing indicator that combines a smoothed estimate with a velocity term. It updates the estimate from the difference between current price and the prior prediction, then uses the velocity’s sign to indicate a long or short…
This document describes a WAMI oscillator indicator that can be set to calculate on a timeframe different from the chart’s timeframe. It fills the space between the oscillator and its signal line with color according to the indicated trend direction. The…
This article advocates using the 20-day moving average as a simple guide to intermediate stock trends. It defines the line as the average closing price over the preceding 20 trading sessions, roughly a month of trading. The proposed reading combines the…
This Chinese stock-selection post proposes screening for shares with MACD above its zero line, three consecutive down days, and a 20-day moving average above the 120-day average. The combination is presented as a way to find stocks in a broader rising trend…
This note describes a simple trend indicator built from three moving averages. It interprets an upper or lower wave approaching the zero level as a possible indication of an uptrend or downtrend. The description offers a basic signal concept: use the wave’s…
The document describes a semaphore-style technical indicator based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). It marks moments when the difference between the HMA and its own averaging changes direction, offering a visual cue about a shift in the indicator’s…
BullsBears is described as a trend indicator that uses volume in its calculations and displays the result as a colored cloud. Green denotes a bullish market state, while red denotes a bearish one. Its stated aim is to identify an initial market impulse and…
This guide outlines six compact trading bot demos, each built around a single AI agent using plain-language instructions and built-in data tools. The examples include discretionary stock selection, market news, news sentiment, trend following, a…
This research summary reviews several empirical findings drawn from macroeconomic and equity data. It reports that principal components built from 132 monthly macro series across 15 categories produce eight factors that explain a stated share of the next…
The Relative Bias Filter is a bounded signal intended to help avoid trades against strong directional conditions. Its signal is based on RSI applied to an average of typical price. A move toward the upper threshold indicates bullish strength and discourages…
This indicator measures the change in a Triangular Moving Average relative to Average True Range, producing a volatility-normalized slope. With the stated default settings, it uses a 20-period average, a 100-period ATR, and upper and lower slope thresholds…
The document presents a discretionary framework that combines broad market assessment with decisions about individual positions. Before trading, a trader reviews trend direction and maturity across daily, weekly, and monthly charts, possible reversal or…
Leading_HTF_Signal is a MetaTrader indicator that displays the trend direction or trade direction generated by the LeadingSign indicator at a selected bar. It uses colored arrows: a right arrow indicates trend continuation, while an arrow showing the deal…
