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.

CCI Filter VertexFX Indicator

CCI Filter indicator is VertexFX client-side indicator script based on the Commodity Channel Index -CCI and Moving Average methods. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a powerful indicator that provides important information on the trend. It is cyclical in nature and follows price closely. When the CCI has bottomed out below zero and is rising gradually, it implies that the market is rising and bullish. On the contrary, when the CCI has peaked and is falling gradually, it implies that the market is falling and bearish in nature. This is combined with the Moving Average of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) which provides crossover signals. To calculate the CCI_Filter indicator, we first calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent CCI_PERIOD bars. The CCI PRICE specifies the price field to be used to calculate the CCI indicator. This is the BLUE component of the indicator. In the next step, we calculate the Moving Average of the CCI over the recent MA_PERIOD bars. T...

Follow Line VertexFX Indcator

FollowLine is a powerful VertexFX indicator based on the Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator. The Bollinger Bands indicator is a powerful indicator to identify trading ranges. However it cannot identify how far the trend will continue, or when the trend will reverse. The FollowLine indicator employs a combination of Bollinger Bands, Moving Average and Average True Range to identify start and reversal of trend with minimal lag. The FollowLine indicator generates BUY and SELL arrows when the trade setups identified. Likewise, when the trend turns bullish the indicator is displayed in BLUE, and when bearish the indicator is displayed in RED. In the first step, we calculate the upper and lower Bollinger Bands using the BB_PERIOD and BB_DEVIATION parameters. We filter for condition when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band, or below the lower Bollinger Band. If USE_ATR_FILTER is set to true then the ATR value is added to the upper Bollinger Band, or subtracted from the lower Bollinge...
