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.

MaksiGen VertexFX Indicator

MaksiGen Range Move is a simplistic VertexFX client-side indicator script that generates BUY and SELL signals based on trading ranges, and range breakout methodology. The concept behind the indicator is to find the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows over a shorter period and a longer period. If the Highest Highs and the Lowest Lows are identical, it implies that the market is range bound over the specified range, and a breakout is possible. The idea is to trade the breakout on either side, using BUY-STOP or SELL-STOP trades. In the first step, we calculate the Highest High and the Lowest Low over the recent PERIOD FAST bars. These levels are displayed by SILVER dotted horizontal lines. In the second step, we calculate the Highest High and the Lowest Low over the recent PERIOD SLOW bars. Once again, these levels are displayed by SILVER dotted horizontal lines. Trendlines are drawn between the two Lowest Low levels and Highest High levels in GOLDEN color. The trendlines typical for a ...

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...

Adaptive ATR VertexFX Indicator

AdaptiveATR is a VertexFX indicator built based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. The Average True Range (ATR) provides information about the volatility of the price. However, one of the drawbacks of the ATR is that it does not provide the direction of the trend, or change in direction. The AdaptiveATR overcomes this drawback by using an adaptive feedback mechanism for calculating the ATR. The original ATR uses High, Low, and Close prices for calculations, whereas AdaptiveATR uses only High and Low prices. As a result, it exhibits a greater sensitivity to volatility and change in direction. In the first step, we calculate the average price based on the High and the Low. In the next step, we calculate the difference of the Average price from its previous Average price. Using concepts of signal-processing, the noise factor is calculated based on this difference. Finally, we subtract the noise from the accumulated Difference over the specified ATR Period. When AdaptiveATR is ris...
