HLC Trend VertexFX Indicator

The HLCTrend is a simple yet powerful VertexFX client-side indicator useful to identify trend reversals.
As the name implies, the HLC Trend indicator is based on High, Low and Close price series.

In the first step we calculate the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) of the High, Low and Close prices with HIGH_PERIOD, LOW_PERIOD and CLOSE_PERIOD respectively. In the next step we calculate the Bullish (BLUE) and Bearish (RED) components. The Bullish component is calculated by subtracting the EMA of the High from the EMA of the Close. The Bearish component is calculated by subtracting the EMA of Close from the EMA of Low. When the price starts rising after a fall, the EMA of Close is rising but the EMA of the High does not rise with the same intensity. As a result the BLUE Bullish line is rising and marks the confirmation of a bullish trend. When the price is falling after a rise, the EMA of Low falls rapidily as compared to the EMA of Close thereby marking a bearish trend.

The value of CLOSE_PERIOD should be lesser than that of LOW_PERIOD and the value of the LOW_PERIOD should be smaller than the value of the HIGH_PERIOD.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG when the BLUE line is below zero and rising for 3 consecutive candles and the RED line is above zero and falling. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing Low. Traders are advised to employ a trailing stop when the trade turns profitable.

WPR+CCI Vertexfx Indicator

The WPR+CCI is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Williams Percent Rank (WPR) and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). The Williams Percent Rank indicator provides insights into the current price with respect to its historical highs and lows over the specified period. Lower values of WPR suggest bearish trend and higher values of WPR indicator bullish trend. The WPR is bounded between -100 and 0. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the price variations from its statistical mean. Traders use CCI to help identify price reversals, price extremes and trend strength. The CCI typically oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations will occur within the range of +100 and -100. Readings above +100 imply an overbought condition, while readings below -100 imply an oversold condition. The WPR+CCI indicator uses the WPR as the primary indicator and the CCI as the filter indicator. When the WPR is rising and the CCI is above +80 the WPR+CCI indicator turns BL...

ICWRA VertexFX Indicator

ICRWa ICWRa indicator is a VertexFx indicator that provides precise BUY and SELL signals by identifying market cycles using trends. When the price moves in well-defined cycles, the trending indicators like Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Average True Range (ATR) are useful in identifying trading spots where entry and exit signals can be taken. During sideways markets and whipsaws, these indicators can be tuned to avoid trades, or to exit losing trades quickly. The ICWRa indicator employs this strategy. In the first step, we calculate the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) over the recent 50 bars. In the second step, we calculate the Average True Range (ATR) values over the recent 5 bars. In the third step, we calculate the standard deviation of the CCI and ATR over the recent 50 bars to identify the trading triggers. When all the three components are rising, a BUY signal is generated by the indicator. Similarly, when all the three components are falling, a SELL signal is generate...

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...
