DDAdaptive VertexFX Indicator

The DDAdaptiveEMA is an innovative VertexFX client-side indicator that trades in the direction of the trend.
As the name suggests, DDAdaptiveEMA is based on the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, unlike the EMA which has lag, the DDAdaptiveEMA indicator reduces the lag in order to provide better trade entries and exits. The DDAdaptiveEMA is based on two components, namely the Dual Differentiator (DD) filter, and an Adaptive EMA. Hence the name DDAdaptiveEMA.
In the first step, we calculate the phase (cycle period) of the price using the Dual Differentiator filter. It provides the optimal phase period over the recent FILTER_PERIOD. In the next step we calculate the EMA based on this optimal phase period. Since the optimal phase period can very for each bar the EMA for each bar may be calculated based on a different period. Hence the name Adaptive EMA.
Unlike using fixed period EMA, by employing adaptive EMA the indicator responds to the price changes faster and reduces the lag.
When the adaptive EMA is rising, the indicator is painted BLUE, whereas when it is falling it is painted RED. This ensures that traders enter BUY trades in rising markets and SHORT trades in falling markets.



BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the DD Adaptive EMA indicator turns BLUE. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing Low. Traders are advised to employ a trailing stop when the trade turns profitable.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the DD Adaptive EMA indicator turns RED. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing High. Traders are advised to employ a trailing stop when the trade turns profitable.

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 ...

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...

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...
