TIA VertexFX Indicator

The Trend Interruption Average (TIA) is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on Moving Average useful in identifying price swings and strength of a trend.


In an uptrending market we see consecutive positive closes. Likewise, in a downtrending market we see consecutive negative closes. The TIA indicator uses the positive / negative consecutive closes to calculate the strength of the trend and potential reversal. The TIA comprises of three components, namely the TIA-Up (GREEN) line, the TIA-Down (RED) line, and the TIA-Difference (BLUE) line.
In the first step, we calculate the cumulative sum of positive closes. If the current close is above previous close, it is assigned a value of 1. If next candle closes above current close, the cumulative count is increment by 1, otherwise it is reset to 0. For example, if there were three consecutive positive closes, the value of cumulative count will be 1, 2 and 3 for the recent three candles. Similarly, the opposite logic is employed for negative closes - we calculate the cumulative sum of the negative closes separately.
In the next step, we calculate the moving average of the cumulative positive closes and negative closes using the MA_PERIOD. The moving average of the cumulative positive closes is the TIA-Up (GREEN) line, and that of the cumulative negative closes is the TIA-Down (RED) line. The TIA-Difference (BLUE) line is the difference between the TIA-Up and TIA-Down.
When the TIA-Up is rising it implies a bullish trend, whereas when the TIA-Down is rising it implies a bearish trend.
BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of the candle when the TIA-Up (GREEN) line closes above the TIA-Down (RED) line. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of the candle when the TIA-Down (RED) line closes above the TIA-Up (GREEN) line. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High.

WPR+CCI Vertexfx Indicator

The WPR+CCI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Williams Percent Rank (WPR) and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). The Williams Percent Rank indicator provides insights into the current price with respect to its historical highs and lows over the specified period. Lower values of WPR suggest bearish trend and higher values of WPR indicator bullish trend. The WPR is bounded between -100 and 0. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the price variations from its statistical mean. Traders use CCI to help identify price reversals, price extremes and trend strength. The CCI typically oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations will occur within the range of +100 and -100. Readings above +100 imply an overbought condition, while readings below -100 imply an oversold condition. The WPR+CCI indicator uses the WPR as the primary indicator and the CCI as the filter indicator. When the WPR is rising and the CCI is above +80 the WPR+CCI indicator turns BL...

ICWRA VertexFX Indicator

ICRWa ICWRa indicator is a VertexFx indicator that provides precise BUY and SELL signals by identifying market cycles using trends. When the price moves in well-defined cycles, the trending indicators like Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Average True Range (ATR) are useful in identifying trading spots where entry and exit signals can be taken. During sideways markets and whipsaws, these indicators can be tuned to avoid trades, or to exit losing trades quickly. The ICWRa indicator employs this strategy. In the first step, we calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent 50 bars. In the second step, we calculate the Average True Range (ATR) values over the recent 5 bars. In the third step, we calculate the standard deviation of the CCI and ATR over the recent 50 bars to identify the trading triggers. When all the three components are rising, a BUY signal is generated by the indicator. Similarly, when all the three components are falling, a SELL signal is generate...

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...
