VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications: * Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish. * The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price. * A volatility threshold...
This indicator displays the trend-adjusted price activity of a security. It oscillates around the zero-line. It is usually plotted as OHLC, but Pine doesn't have this support yet. So, I have rendered OHLC separately (see chart for the details). This indicator is particularly useful for ‘scalping’ in a sideways market, where there is limited movement taking...
Rainbow Charts, by Mel Widner, is a trend detector. It uses recursively smoothed MAs (remember, this idea was proposed back in 1997 -- it was certainly cool back then!) and also builds an oscillator out of the MAs. Oscillator bands indicate the stability range. I have also included a simple binary wave based on whether all the MAs are in an upward slope or not....
Krivo index, suggested by Richard Krivo, tries to quantify the "strength" of a currency by checking how many of its pairs are trading strongly (close above 200sma). As you can see from the chart, KI gives an excellent overview of their strength. Note how it correctly points out the JPY crash (Nov 2012). I decided to implement KI for each currency separately to...
I have included ports of 2 indicators from MT4 (not from the original commercial source). I couldn't cross check if these matched their commercial equivalents (you need to assume they don't!). If you own any of these in other platforms, appreciate if you could publish some comparison results here. Kase Peak Oscillator is the difference between two trend...
ChartMill Value Indicator & Modified ChartMill Value Indicator : ------------------------------- Developed by Dirk Vandycke, CVI tracks how far the price spread is from its MA. Since MA keeps increasing even when price consolidates or stalls, it is very difficult for the deviation from a moving average to remain in the overbought or oversold regions for...
Relative Volume Indicator ------------------------------ RVI is a support-resistance technical indicator developed by Melvin E. Dickover. Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price...
According to Elder, "The Impulse System encourages you to enter a trade cautiously but exit fast, by identifying inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. This is the professional approach to trading, the total opposite of the amateur's style. Beginners jump into trades without thinking too much and take forever to get out, hoping and waiting for...
Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram, first discussed by Buff Dormeier, is a modified version of MACD study. It calculates volume-averaged Close price for finding the histogram. More info: www.moneyshow.com Sentiment Zone Oscillator ...
WaveTrend Oscillator is a port of a famous TS/MT indicator. When the oscillator is above the overbought band (red lines) and crosses down the signal (dotted line), it is usually a good SELL signal. Similarly, when the oscillator crosses above the signal when below the Oversold band (green lines), it is a good BUY signal. I have marked some cross-overs in the...
Volume Zone Indicator (VZO) and Price Zone Indicator (PZO) are by Waleed Aly Khalil. Volume Zone Indicator (VZO) ------------------------------------------------------------ VZO is a leading volume oscillator that evaluates volume in relation to the direction of the net price change on each bar. A value of 40 or above shows bullish accumulation. Low values (<...
As we all know, as published by Wilder, RSI makes use of "CLOSE" values. You probably have experimented changing the input to hl2 or hlc3 . I have included many other RSI variations in this chart. Refer to the developers section below to learn how you can use this code in your scripts. 1) RSI with Volume --------------------------------------------- Suggested...
These indicators, from John Ehlers' book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures", are EMA alternatives. The basic idea behind all these is to try to get smoothing with as little lag as possible. As you can see from the chart, they are much smoother, have better response, and a closer match to market prices. Basically, all the responsiveness of a faster...
Better Volume Indicator ----------------------------------------- This is a direct port of a famous indicator from Tradestation platform. BVI improves on your typical volume histogram by coloring the bars based on 5 criteria: * Volume Climax Up – high volume, high range, up bars (red) * Volume Climax Down – high volume, high range, down bars (white) *...
Developed by Buff Dormeier, VPCI won 2007 Charles H Dow award by the MTA. VPCI plots the relationship between price trend and the volume, as either being in a state of confirmation or contradiction. Excerpt from article below: "Fundamentally, the VPCI reveals the proportional imbalances between price trends and volume-adjusted price trends. An uptrend...

Many Stock/FX traders overlay multiple Trix lines to form the ribbon, this indicator makes it easy. Also, optionally this can plot a BollingerBand on Trix_1.

I am a big fan of Constance Brown. Her book "Technical Analysis for Trading Professionals" is an absolute classic (get the 2nd edition). I have included here 2 of the indicators she uses in all her charts. Composite Index ---------------------------------------- This is a formula Ms Brown developed (Cardwell may not agree!) to identify divergence failures with...
Guppy Multiple Moving Averages --------------------------------- Developed by Daryl Guppy, the basic idea of Multiple moving average(MMA) is to view the trend as two band of moving averages – short term band and long term band. Shortterm averages capture the inferred behaviour of traders and long term represents the investors. Uses fractal repetition to...
