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.

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...

iDoubleChannel VertexFX Indicator

iDoubleChannel is a powerful VertexFX indicator that closely follows the price trends. The indicator comprises three components, namely the Upper (BLUE) trend, the Lower (RED) trend, and the Center (YELLOW) trend. When the Lower (RED) component is above the Upper (BLUE) component it signals a bullish trend. Likewise, when the Upper (BLUE) component is above the Lower (RED) component it signals a bearish trend. Traders should avoid trading against the trend. The Center (YELLOW) trend provides a guideline to the price movement. When the Center trend is between the Upper and Lower trends it implies a continuation of the trend. When the Center trend deviates outside the Upper and Lower trend it signals the end of a trend and the probability of a trend reversal is very high. The Center trend is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Close over the recent CHANNEL_PERIOD candles. The Upper trend is calculated from the cumulative sum of the High and difference between the High and Close over ...
