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.

MaksiGen VertexFX Indicator

MaksiGen Range Move is a simplistic VertexFX client-side indicator script that generates BUY and SELL signals based on trading ranges, and range breakout methodology. The concept behind the indicator is to find the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows over a shorter period and a longer period. If the Highest Highs and the Lowest Lows are identical, it implies that the market is range bound over the specified range, and a breakout is possible. The idea is to trade the breakout on either side, using BUY-STOP or SELL-STOP trades. In the first step, we calculate the Highest High and the Lowest Low over the recent PERIOD FAST bars. These levels are displayed by SILVER dotted horizontal lines. In the second step, we calculate the Highest High and the Lowest Low over the recent PERIOD SLOW bars. Once again, these levels are displayed by SILVER dotted horizontal lines. Trendlines are drawn between the two Lowest Low levels and Highest High levels in GOLDEN color. The trendlines typical for a ...

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...

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...
