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 Zone it is considered a bullish breakout, and the trader can enter long positions in such a scenario. When the sRSI crosses below the Neutral Zone it is considered a bearish breakout, and the trader can enter short positions.
In addition to the Neutral Zone levels sRSI also provides the OverBought and Oversold Levels. When the sRSI crosses above the OverBought Level it is safe to exit the long position. Similarly, when sRSI crosses below the OverSold Level it is safe to exit the short position.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at close of candle when the sRSI indicator turns BLUE either from RED or GRAY. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Do not enter LONG if sRSI was BLUE before it turned GRAY and turned BLUE again. This ensures that we do not enter in sideways or whipsaw markets.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at close of candle when the sRSI indicator turns RED either from BLUE or GRAY. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High. Do not enter SHORT if sRSI was RED before it turned GRAY and turned RED again. This ensures that we do not enter in sideways or whipsaw markets.

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...

iDoubleChannel VertexFX Indicator

iDoubleChannel is a powerful VertexFX indicator that closely follows the price trends. The indicator comprises three components, namely the Upper (BLUE) trend, the Lower (RED) trend, and the Center (YELLOW) trend. When the Lower (RED) component is above the Upper (BLUE) component it signals a bullish trend. Likewise, when the Upper (BLUE) component is above the Lower (RED) component it signals a bearish trend. Traders should avoid trading against the trend. The Center (YELLOW) trend provides a guideline to the price movement. When the Center trend is between the Upper and Lower trends it implies a continuation of the trend. When the Center trend deviates outside the Upper and Lower trend it signals the end of a trend and the probability of a trend reversal is very high. The Center trend is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Close over the recent CHANNEL_PERIOD candles. The Upper trend is calculated from the cumulative sum of the High and difference between the High and Close over ...
