The Consecutive RSI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is useful in identifying the current trend, and its strength. When the RSI is rising it indicates a bullish trend and when it is falling it indicates a bearish trend.
It is observed that in strong trending markets, prices tend to rise fast when they reach overbought levels. Likewise prices tend to fall quickly when the reach oversold levels. This is because when the trend is strong and it attracts more (and new) market participants. As a result traders can expect to make good profits when the Consecutive RSI generates signals.
In the first step we calculate the Relative Strength Index. A BUY signal is generated when the RSI crosses above the overbought level (e.g. 70) from below, and is rising consecutively for the specified number of candles. This implies a strong bullish trend with new market participants. The price tends to rise very quickly from this level before the trend ends.


A SELL signal is generated when the RSI crosses below the oversold level (e.g. 30) from above, and is falling consecutively for the specified number of candles. This implies a strong bearish trend with new market participants. The price tends to fall very quickly from this level before the trend ends.
By using the number of consecutive candles (CONSECUTIVE_BARS) we filter out weak trends, whipsaws or saturation in prices around overbought and oversold levels. 
BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of the candle when the BUY entry arrow is displayed on the chart. The stop-loss can be placed at the nearest Swing Low. A trailing stop is also recommended when the position is profitable.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of the candle when the SELL entry arrow is displayed on the chart. The stop-loss can be placed at the nearest Swing High. A trailing stop is also recommened when the position is profitable.

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 ...
