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

Simple Decycler Oscillator VertexFX Indicator

The Simple Decycler Oscillator is a powerful VertexFx client-side indicator that identifies the start and reversal of a trend. One of the major drawbacks of conventional indicators is that the signals have lag resulting in delayed trade entries. The Simple Decycler Oscillator attempts to reduce the lag by using two oscillators. The indicator comprises of two components, the fast oscillator identified by the BLUE line and the slow oscillator identified by the RED line. The fast component is calculated using the FAST_PERIOD and the FAST_K co-efficient. Similarly, the slow component is calculated using the SLOW_PERIOD and the SLOW_K co-efficient. The components are calculated using cycle analysis theory. The strength of the trend is calculated using a high-pass filter over the specified period and smoothed with the smoothing co-efficient (K). The difference between the BLUE and the RED line indicates the direction of the current trend. When the BLUE line is above the RED line the trend

MACD OSMAX VertexFX Indicator

is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is provides information about the current trend and its strength. When the MACD bottoms out and starts rising it implies the market is in bullish mode, whereas when it tops out and starts falling it implies that the market is in bearish mode. However, one of the drawbacks of the MACD indicator is that it introduces lag and introduces whipsaws when the market turns sideways. The primary reason for the lag is the use of Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the calculation of the MACD. The MACD OSMAX indicator overcomes the drawbacks of the MACD indicator by using Exponential Moving Average (EMA) instead of SMA. In addition to using the EMA, it also uses a weightage co-efficient OSMAX to give more weightage to the recent signal. In the first step we calculate the EMA of the PERIOD_FAST and the PERIOD_SLOW. The MACD is calcu

CCIinMA VertexFX Indicator

is an innovative VertexFX client-side indicator based on Moving Average and Commodity Channel Index indicators. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) provides valuable insight of the current trend. However since the CCI is not bounded it tends to generate the signals too early or too late. The CCIinMA indicator overcomes this drawback by using a short period Moving Average (MA). We calculate the Moving Average based on the MA_PERIOD and the MA_METHOD. The user can choose Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA) or Weighted Moving Average (WMA). In the second step the CCI is calculated based on the CCI period. The CCI_LEVEL_UP defines the bullish breakout level and the CCI_LEVEL_DOWN defines the bearish breakout level. The indicator is plotted BLUE when the CCI is above the CCI_LEVEL_UP and RED when the CCI is below the CCI_LEVEL_DOWN. BLUE color indicates bullish trend, RED indicates a bearish trend. BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of candle when indicator color turns BL

CamarillaFlatAndClear VertexFX Indicator

The CamarillaFlatAndClear is an innovative VertexFX client-side indicator based on daily pivot and Camarilla levels. Pivot levels are an useful tool to identify key support and resistance levels. However, they have outlived their purpose especially for short-term traders. The CamirillaFlatAndClear indicator is an improvement of the pivot levels and Camarilla levels using "squares of 12" method. The indicator provides seven key levels - namely the central Pivot level (YELLOW), three support (RED) and resistance (GREEN) levels each. Unlike traditional pivot level trading methods, the levels provided by this indicator act as breakout levels. Short term traders prefer to trade in the direction of the level (breakout) rather than against it (reversal). When used with short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) it provides excellent breakout trades for short term traders. The central pivot level (YELLOW) is the average of the previous Day's High, Low and Close. The other level
