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 reduce the lag.
The DSAMA comprises of the BLUE (bullish) and the RED (bearish) components. When the DSAMA is rising, the indicator is BLUE and when it is falling it turns RED.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the indicator turns BLUE from RED color. Place the stop-loss below the nearest Swing Low. It is recommended to employ a trailing stop when the trade turns profitable.

SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the Double Smoothed AMA indicator turns RED from BLUE color. Place the stop-loss above the nearest Swing High. It is recommended 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...
