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

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...

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...

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...
