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.

SRSI VertexFX Indicator

The sRSI (Sell Relative Strength Index) is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on enhanced implementation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. The RSI indicator is useful in identifying the trend of the strength as well as the end of the trend. However, one of the drawbacks of the sRSI is that it introduces lag. Another drawback of RSI is that since all price changes are given equal weightage the more recent price changes are not reflected quickly in the calculations. The sRSI solves this drawback by giving weightage to the more recent price changes. The traditional RSI uses only Close prices. The sRSI uses Open, High, Low and Close prices to capture not only the change in trend but also the strength of the trend within the candle. We use two levels to identify the strength of the sRSI. The primary Neutral Zone level is used to identify sideways trend. When sRSI is inside the NEUTRAL_ZONE the trend is considered sideways. When sRSI crosses above the Neutral

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

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
