MBA VertexFX Indicator

The MBA is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on four indicators, namely MACD, RSI, Stochastic Oscillator and Momentum indicator.
Each of these indicators have specific characteristics and responds to the price changes in different ways. By combining these four indicators MBA provides a holistic view of the price movements.
The MACD and Stochastic Oscillator provide a good insight into the strength of the trend. When both of these are rising it is the sign of a strong bullish trend. When they are falling it is a sign of a strong bearish trend. When MACD and Stochastic Oscillator are moving in opposite direction it points to trend exhaustion or sideways direction. The Momentum indicator tells us how far the price has changed over the reference period. Greater the value of Momentum, stronger the trender.
The raw MBA value is calculated by multiplying the sum of MACD and RSI with the Stochastic value, and then dividing it by the Momentum. The refined MBA is then derived by computing the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the raw MBA value.
When MBA is GREEN and rising it indicates a bullish trend. When it is YELLOW and falling it indicates a bearish trend. Since the MBA is an oscillator, bounded between 0 and 100, the crucial levels are 20 and 40. When MBA turns GREEN below 20 it is considered a good opportunity to buy, and whereas when it turns YELLOW above 40 it is considered a good opportunity to sell.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at close of candle when the MBA indictor turns GREEN below the 20 level. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at close of candle when the MBA indicator turns YELLOW above the 40 level. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High.

CCI Filter VertexFX Indicator

CCI Filter indicator is VertexFX client-side indicator script based on the Commodity Channel Index -CCI and Moving Average methods. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a powerful indicator that provides important information on the trend. It is cyclical in nature and follows price closely. When the CCI has bottomed out below zero and is rising gradually, it implies that the market is rising and bullish. On the contrary, when the CCI has peaked and is falling gradually, it implies that the market is falling and bearish in nature. This is combined with the Moving Average of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) which provides crossover signals. To calculate the CCI_Filter indicator, we first calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent CCI_PERIOD bars. The CCI PRICE specifies the price field to be used to calculate the CCI indicator. This is the BLUE component of the indicator. In the next step, we calculate the Moving Average of the CCI over the recent MA_PERIOD bars. T...

If USE_ATR_FILTER is set to true then the ATR value is added to the upper Bollinger Band, or subtracted from the lower Bollinge...
