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 and tops out. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High. Use short term EMA to ensure that current price is below the EMA.

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...

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 ...

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...
