StochinMA VertexFX Indicator

The StochInMA is an innovative VertexFX client-side indicator that identifies trend reversals and trading levels.

The StochInMA as the name suggests is a combination of the Moving Average and the Stochastic Oscillator.

The Moving Average by itself provides the direction of the trend and critical reversal levels. When the price is above the Moving Average the trend is considered bullish. Contrarily, when the price is below the Moving Average the trend is considered bearish. However, Moving Average by itself has a lag and results in late entries or exits.
The StochInMA adds a new dimension to the Moving Average indicator by color coding the Moving Average based on the Stochastic Oscillator levels. Traders find the Stochastic Oscillator useful in identifying trend reversals. When the Stochastic Oscillator crosses above the upper threshold it typically is a sign of bullish breakout, and below the lower threshold a sign of bearish breakout. By coloring the Moving Average based on the strength of the Stochastic Oscillator, traders get a better perspective of the strength of the trend. One of the major advantages of the StochInMA indicator is it prevents traders from false entries and early exits.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the StochInMA indicator turns BLUE from either GREEN or RED. The stop-loss can be set to the nearest Swing Low. Traders are advised to employ a trading stop when the trade turns profitable. Do not enter fresh LONG trades if the indicator turns BLUE from YELLOW.

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...

Kauffman Volatality VertexFX Indicator

Kaufman Volatility indicator is a VertexFX client-side indicator script that provides a measure of volatility and in identifying the current stage of the market. This indicator was designed by Perry Kaufman and is used in combination with other indicators to estimate stop-loss and volatility characteristics of the market. When the market is in a consolidation phase, the Kaufman Volatility indicator is dropping in value. On the contrary, when the market is trending strongly (either bullish or bearish) the Kaufman Volatility indicator is rising. It does not provide us with the direction of the trend, but only the strength of the trend. To calculate the Kaufman Volatility, we first find the absolute difference in the Close of the current candle from the previous candle. This absolute difference is then added over the recent PERIOD bars to derive the Kaufman Volatility indicator. The Kaufman Volatility indicator does not provide BUY or SELL signals. BUY - This indicator does ...
