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...

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...
