Dynamic Zone RSI VertexFX Indicator

The Dynamic Zone RSI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands used to identify market swings.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is useful in identifying the current trend, and its strength. When the RSI bottoms out and starts to rise it implies a bullish trend. On the contrary, when the RSI tops out and starts to fall it implies a bearish trend. The Bollinger Bands provides a trading range for the price based on standard deviation. The Dynamic Zone RSI indicator combines these two indicators to provide a composite overview of the trend.
In the first step, the RSI is calculated based on the RSI period. In the second step, the Bollinger Bands of this RSI are calculated to generate the center, upper and lower RSI zones. The range between the upper and lower band is called the Dynamic Zone.
When the RSI is below the lower band, the trend is bearish. When it turns sideways or bottoms out, the trend now becomes neutral. When the RSI crosses above the lower band from below it is considered the start of a bullish trend.
Likewise, when the RSI is above the upper band, the trend is bullish. When it turns sideways or tops out, the trend now becomes neutral. When the RSI crosses below the upper band from above it is considered the start of a bearish trend.
Unlike RSI which provides fixed levels (e.g. 30/70) for entry and exit, Dynamic Zone RSI adapts the trading levels based on the price and the characteristics.
BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the Dynamic Zone RSI (blue) crosses above the lower band from below.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the Dynamic Zone RSI (blue) crosses below the upper band from above.

RSIofPSAR VertexFX Indicator

RSIofPSAR is a VertexFX indicator that identifies trend reversals, it is based on two underlying indicators namely the Parabolic Stop-And-Reverse (PSAR) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The PSAR indicator is very useful in trend-following techniques when the trend is clear. However, it leads to whipsaws in sideways markets leading to losses. The RSI indicator is useful in identifying trend reversals and sideways markets. RSIofPSAR is created by combining these characteristics from the two indicators providing use with a composite indicator the identifies trend reversals. In the first step, we calculate the Parabolic Stop-And-Reverse (PSAR) of the price series. In the next step, we calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the PSAR calculated in the previous step. Instead of calculating the RSI using the standard technique, we use a smoothing co-efficient to eliminate the lag. The RSIofPSAR is a bounded oscillator ranging between 0 and 100. It turns BLUE when it is rising an...

Adaptive ATR VertexFX Indicator

AdaptiveATR is a VertexFX indicator built based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. The Average True Range (ATR) provides information about the volatility of the price. However, one of the drawbacks of the ATR is that it does not provide the direction of the trend, or change in direction. The AdaptiveATR overcomes this drawback by using an adaptive feedback mechanism for calculating the ATR. The original ATR uses High, Low, and Close prices for calculations, whereas AdaptiveATR uses only High and Low prices. As a result, it exhibits a greater sensitivity to volatility and change in direction. In the first step, we calculate the average price based on the High and the Low. In the next step, we calculate the difference of the Average price from its previous Average price. Using concepts of signal-processing, the noise factor is calculated based on this difference. Finally, we subtract the noise from the accumulated Difference over the specified ATR Period. When AdaptiveATR is ris...

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...
