RMA VertexFX Indicator

he RMA (Relative Moving Average) is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Simple Moving Average indicator.
The Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicator is useful to identify the start and reversal of a trend. When the price closes above the SMA it is considered bullish signal, and when it closes below the SMA it is considered bearish signal. However, one of the major drawbacks of the SMA is lag and whipsaws. The SMA is a lagging indicator, and as a result the signals are late thereby reducing profit opportunities. Similarly in sideways markets, the SMA generates whipsaws which can result in too many trades and losses. The RMA indicator attempts to remove the drawbacks of the SMA by reducing the lag period.
The RMA is calculated using three moving averages, namely long term, medium term and short term. The long term period is computed as three times the RMA_PERIOD. The medium term is computed as twice the RMA_PERIOD, and the short term is computed using the RMA_PERIOD.
We subtract the medium term SMA from the long term SMA and then add the short term SMA.
Thus, RMA = SMA(3 x PERIOD) - SMA(2 x PERIOD) + SMA(PERIOD)
The RMA reduces the lag of the SMA, by subtracting the medium term SMA and then adding the long term SMA. Any movements that occurred over the longer period are automatically filter out thereby reducing the lag.
BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of the candle when the RMA indicator turns GREEN and the price is above the RMA indicator. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing Low.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of the candle when the RMA indicator turns RED and the price is below the RMA indicator. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing High.

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...

SVEStochastic RSI VertexFX Indicator

The SVEStochasticRSI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator that identifies market cycles and the strength of a trend. As the name implies, it is an enhancement of the Stochastic RSI and was originally created by Sylvain Vervoort. The main advantage over the traditional StochasticRSI is that the method of calculating the RSI in this indicator is more responsive to price changes. As a result the lag is minimal. In the first step we calculate the RSI using the enhanced SVE method. We use a smoothing co-efficient ALPHA, which is the square-root of the reciprocal period for calculating the RSI. The price changes used to calculate the normal RSI are multiplied by the smoothing co-efficient to derive the SVE RSI. In the next step we calculate the Stochastic value of this RSI which is called the SVEStochasticRSI. The advantage of applying the Stochastic indicator to the RSI is that is when the price starts trending the indicator starts moving upwards or downwards very quickly thereby h...

VolatilityRatio VertexFX Indicator

The VolatilityRatio is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based Volatility and trend reversal. Volatility is a measure of fast market movements. When volatility increases the markets are moving fast and making big ranges. However, we cannot predict the direction of the market based on the volatility. The VolatilityRatio (VR) determines the direction and the end of the trend thus providing a valuable tool to traders. When VR is above 1 it indicates a bullish trend, and similarly when VR is below 1 it indicates bearish trend. By waiting for the bullish and bearish trends to top out and bottom out respectively traders can exit at the earliest their LONG and SHORT positions respectively. BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the Volatility Ratio is RED and bottoms out. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Use short term EMA to ensure that current price is above the EMA. SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the Volatility Ratio is BLUE...
