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.

Double Smoothed AMA VertexFX Indicator

Double Smoothed Adaptive Moving Average (DSAMA) is a VertexFX indicator based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicator. One of the biggest drawbacks of the SMA is the presence of lag which delays trade entries and exits. The DSAMA indicator offers three advantages of the SMA indicator. First and foremost, unlike the fixed period of the SMA, the period of the DSAMA is adaptive and is calculated based on a fast and slow period range. As a result, it shows a better response than normal SMA. Secondly, by using a smoothing algorithm, the lag is reduced thereby allowing traders to enter and exit trades faster before the price has moved too far away. Building the Indicator: In the first step, we calculate the greatest and smallest value of the price over the recent PERIOD candles. Based on the greatest, smallest, and the current value, the smoothing coefficient is calculated. Finally, the two levels of smoothing are applied, one using the FAST_PERIOD and then using the SLOW_PERIOD to red...

iDoubleChannel VertexFX Indicator

iDoubleChannel is a powerful VertexFX indicator that closely follows the price trends. The indicator comprises three components, namely the Upper (BLUE) trend, the Lower (RED) trend, and the Center (YELLOW) trend. When the Lower (RED) component is above the Upper (BLUE) component it signals a bullish trend. Likewise, when the Upper (BLUE) component is above the Lower (RED) component it signals a bearish trend. Traders should avoid trading against the trend. The Center (YELLOW) trend provides a guideline to the price movement. When the Center trend is between the Upper and Lower trends it implies a continuation of the trend. When the Center trend deviates outside the Upper and Lower trend it signals the end of a trend and the probability of a trend reversal is very high. The Center trend is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Close over the recent CHANNEL_PERIOD candles. The Upper trend is calculated from the cumulative sum of the High and difference between the High and Close over ...
