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 BLUE. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Do not place LONG trades if the indicator color is BLUE but the indicator is falling.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of candle when indicator color turns RED. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High. Don not place SHORT trades if the indicator color is RED but the indicator is rising.

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...
