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.

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...

SVEStochastic RSI VertexFX Indicator

The SVEStochasticRSI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator that identifies market cycles and the strength of a trend. As the name implies, it is an enhancement of the Stochastic RSI and was originally created by Sylvain Vervoort. The main advantage over the traditional StochasticRSI is that the method of calculating the RSI in this indicator is more responsive to price changes. As a result the lag is minimal. In the first step we calculate the RSI using the enhanced SVE method. We use a smoothing co-efficient ALPHA, which is the square-root of the reciprocal period for calculating the RSI. The price changes used to calculate the normal RSI are multiplied by the smoothing co-efficient to derive the SVE RSI. In the next step we calculate the Stochastic value of this RSI which is called the SVEStochasticRSI. The advantage of applying the Stochastic indicator to the RSI is that is when the price starts trending the indicator starts moving upwards or downwards very quickly thereby h...

VolatilityRatio VertexFX Indicator

The VolatilityRatio is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based Volatility and trend reversal. Volatility is a measure of fast market movements. When volatility increases the markets are moving fast and making big ranges. However, we cannot predict the direction of the market based on the volatility. The VolatilityRatio (VR) determines the direction and the end of the trend thus providing a valuable tool to traders. When VR is above 1 it indicates a bullish trend, and similarly when VR is below 1 it indicates bearish trend. By waiting for the bullish and bearish trends to top out and bottom out respectively traders can exit at the earliest their LONG and SHORT positions respectively. BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the Volatility Ratio is RED and bottoms out. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Use short term EMA to ensure that current price is above the EMA. SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the Volatility Ratio is BLUE...
