Kauffman Volatality VertexFX Indicator

Kaufman Volatility indicator is a VertexFX client-side indicator script that provides a measure of volatility and in identifying the current stage of the market.

This indicator was designed by Perry Kaufman and is used in combination with other indicators to estimate stop-loss and volatility characteristics of the market.
When the market is in a consolidation phase, the Kaufman Volatility indicator is dropping in value. On the contrary, when the market is trending strongly (either bullish or bearish) the Kaufman Volatility indicator is rising. It does not provide us with the direction of the trend, but only the strength of the trend.

To calculate the Kaufman Volatility, we first find the absolute difference in the Close of the current candle from the previous candle.
This absolute difference is then added over the recent PERIOD bars to derive the Kaufman Volatility indicator.


The Kaufman Volatility indicator does not provide BUY or SELL signals.

BUY - This indicator does not provide BUY or SELL signals.

Parameters:

1) PERIOD - The period over which the Kaufman Volatility indicator is calculated.
2) SHOW_HISTOGRAM - Specifies whether the indicator is displayed as a line or a histogram. If SHOW_HISTOGRAM is TRUE, then the indicator is displayed in histogram style. If FALSE, it is displayed as a line.

WPR+CCI Vertexfx Indicator

The WPR+CCI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Williams Percent Rank (WPR) and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). The Williams Percent Rank indicator provides insights into the current price with respect to its historical highs and lows over the specified period. Lower values of WPR suggest bearish trend and higher values of WPR indicator bullish trend. The WPR is bounded between -100 and 0. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the price variations from its statistical mean. Traders use CCI to help identify price reversals, price extremes and trend strength. The CCI typically oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations will occur within the range of +100 and -100. Readings above +100 imply an overbought condition, while readings below -100 imply an oversold condition. The WPR+CCI indicator uses the WPR as the primary indicator and the CCI as the filter indicator. When the WPR is rising and the CCI is above +80 the WPR+CCI indicator turns BL...

ICWRA VertexFX Indicator

ICRWa ICWRa indicator is a VertexFx indicator that provides precise BUY and SELL signals by identifying market cycles using trends. When the price moves in well-defined cycles, the trending indicators like Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Average True Range (ATR) are useful in identifying trading spots where entry and exit signals can be taken. During sideways markets and whipsaws, these indicators can be tuned to avoid trades, or to exit losing trades quickly. The ICWRa indicator employs this strategy. In the first step, we calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent 50 bars. In the second step, we calculate the Average True Range (ATR) values over the recent 5 bars. In the third step, we calculate the standard deviation of the CCI and ATR over the recent 50 bars to identify the trading triggers. When all the three components are rising, a BUY signal is generated by the indicator. Similarly, when all the three components are falling, a SELL signal is generate...

Welford Variance VertexFX Indicator

The Welford Variance indicator is a useful VertexFx client-side indicator for identifying trend changes on higher time-frames. It calculates the standard deviation and variance of the price changes over the Variance Period (VAR_PERIOD), and then smoothes it using a smoothing co-efficient. The Welford Variance indicator should be used in combination with other trend-following oscillators like Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) or Stochastic Oscillator. The standard deviation defines how much the current price is deviating from the mean price. Higher the standard deviation, greater is the volality. In the first step, we calculate the mean and standard deviation of the recent VAR_PERIOD candles. In the next step, we calculate the variance by subtracting the price from the standard deviation. Finally, we smooth the variance, using the co-efficient, which is reciprocal of (1 + VAR_PERIOD). When the variance increases, the probabilty of fast p...
