EurX VertexFX Indicator

The EURX indicator is a powerful VertexFx client-side indicator script that calculates the Euro Index in real-time.
The Euro Index is a powerful macro-economic indicator that presents a composite view of the European currencies. It is calculated from five major European currencies, namely EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, EURJPY and EURSEK (Swedish Krona). 
The calculation of the Euro Index is as follows, 

34.38805726 x Pow(EURUSD, 0.3155) x Pow(EURJPY, 0.1891) x Pow(EURGBP, 0.3056) x Pow(EURSEK, 0.0785) x Pow(EURCHF, 0.1113)

where Pow(currency, exponent) is the exponent (power) of the currency value.

The main Euro Index labeled EURX is plotted as a thick line. The indicator also plots two moving averages of the EURX, namely the short term and long term moving average. The periods of these averages can be configured and changed by modifying the SMA_PERIOD_SHORT and SMA_PERIOD_LONG respectively. The EURX depicts the strength of the Euro against the five major currencies, namely the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, the British pound and the Swedish kroner. A rising EURX index implies that the Euro is gaining strength against other currencies, and a falling EURX index implies the Euro is weakening against the other currencies. Therefore, we buy when the EURX is rising and sell when EURX is falling. The short term moving average provides a reference as to when to buy or sell the Euro based on the EURX indicator.

BUY : Enter a BUY trade in any of the Euro denonimated currencies, namely EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, EURJPY or EURSEK when the EURX indicator crosses above its short term moving average.

SELL : Enter a SELL trade in any of the Euro denominated currencies, namely EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, EURJPY or EURSEK when the EURX indicator crosses below its short term moving average.

CCI Filter VertexFX Indicator

CCI Filter indicator is VertexFX client-side indicator script based on the Commodity Channel Index -CCI and Moving Average methods. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a powerful indicator that provides important information on the trend. It is cyclical in nature and follows price closely. When the CCI has bottomed out below zero and is rising gradually, it implies that the market is rising and bullish. On the contrary, when the CCI has peaked and is falling gradually, it implies that the market is falling and bearish in nature. This is combined with the Moving Average of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) which provides crossover signals. To calculate the CCI_Filter indicator, we first calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent CCI_PERIOD bars. The CCI PRICE specifies the price field to be used to calculate the CCI indicator. This is the BLUE component of the indicator. In the next step, we calculate the Moving Average of the CCI over the recent MA_PERIOD bars. T...

We filter for condition when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band, or below the lower Bollinger Band. If USE_ATR_FILTER is set to true then the ATR value is added to the upper Bollinger Band, or subtracted from the lower Bollinge...
