Roofing filters, first discussed by Mr.John Ehlers, act as a passband, filtering out unwanted noise from market data and accentuating turning points. I have included 2 indicators with filters enabled. Both support double smoothing via options page. All the parameters are configurable. Info on Roofing Filter and Ehlers Super...

Heard this story from Larry Williams…the trader who holds the record for winning the U.S. Trading Championship by turning $10K in to 2 Million. A trader named Owen Taylor developed this formula as a Floor Trader before to calculate the Projected High and Low of the next day. The formula worked so well…Owen charged other Traders 1K to get it. I was pretty...

This indicator takes market volume and organizes it into wave charts, clearly highlighting inflection points and regions of supply/demand. Try tuning this for your instrument (Forex not supported) by adjusting the "Trend Detection Length". This "clubs together" minor waves. If you like an oscillator-kind-of display, enable "ShowDistributionBelowZero" option....

This is Mr. Sylvian Vervoort's take on improving some well-known indicators (%B and Stoch) using smoothing techniques. A combination of TEMA and WMA does a nice job smoothing out %B, derived from zero-lag “Rainbow” data series. The same Rainbow series, averaged with the typical price, smooth the Stochastic K oscillator to produce slowStoch. Vervroot's strategy...

RSI bands provide an intuitive way of visualizing how the price movement causes RSI to move with in its range (0-100). Upper/Lower bands signify overbought and oversold levels respectively (Default: 70/30, you can customize them via options page). These bands closely match what Constance Brown explains in her book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional"....

*** *** Bollinger Bands (BB) usually expand quickly after a volatility increase but contract more slowly as volatility declines. This extended time it takes for BB to contract after a volatility drop can make trading some instruments using BB alone difficult or less profitable. In the October 1998 issue of "Futures" there is an article written by Dennis...

This indicator is a composite of MACD and Z-Score (requested by @ChartAt). The general idea is that counter-trend component of the Z-score is used to adjust/improve the trend component of the MACD. The advantage is that it is a more accurate and “assumption-free” and can more accurately describe how a market or stock actually works in a given time frame. I have...

BBImpulse is part of the latest indicators package offered by John Bollinger. Excerpt from their market blurb (www.bbforex.com): "BBImpulse is derived from %b. Its value is the periodic change of %b, so if %b was 0.45 this period and 0.20 last period the present value of BBImpulse is 0.25. We present two reference levels on the chart, an alert level and an...

Fixed a typo in the code where BB multiplier was stuck at 1.5. Thanks @ucsgears for bringing it to my notice. Updated source: pastebin.com Use the updated source instead of the what TV shows below. This is a derivative of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator, as discussed in his book "Mastering the Trade" (chapter 11). Black crosses on the...

The PSO, developed by Lee Leibfarth, is a rewired version of a short-period stochastic. This provides a quick response to changes in market direction. This highly sensitive indicator allows for early anticipation of price turns and can be used to establish definitive trading zones that identify potential trading opportunities. Rules as suggested by Mr.Lee: For...

Introduced by M.H.Pee, Trend Trigger Factor is designed to keep the trader trading with the trend. System rules according to the developer: * If the 15-day TTF is above 100 (indicating an uptrend), you will want to be in long positions. * If the 15-day TTF is below -100, you will want to be short. * If it is between -100 and 100, you should remain with the...

The Acceleration Band System was published in "Big Trends in Trading" by Price Headley in 2002. The system designed to catch stocks as they start to trend but before they go parabolic. The system is simple but supposed to be very effective. This system makes use of %R and ADX a lot to determine the entries/exits. Refer to the documents listed below for the...

HawkEye volume, developed by Nigel Hawks, is supposed to be a premier VSA indicator. Documentation on this is scarce (looks like the training seminars/sessions conducted by the parent company cover this in detail), if you come across any (other than what I have mentioned on that chart) do let me know. I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial...

Stress Indicator, first proposed by Mr. Perry Kaufman, provides an easy way for trading pairs / arbs. Kaufman's trading rules for Stress Indicator: - Decide on a pair to trade: For ex., AAPL v QQQ - Calculate the Stress Indicator (SI) for that pair - Buy the stock when SI 50 - Calculate the 60-day moving average of QQQ - If the trend of QQQ is down,...

VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications: * Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish. * The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price. * A volatility threshold...

This indicator displays the trend-adjusted price activity of a security. It oscillates around the zero-line. It is usually plotted as OHLC, but Pine doesn't have this support yet. So, I have rendered OHLC separately (see chart for the details). This indicator is particularly useful for ‘scalping’ in a sideways market, where there is limited movement taking...

Custom Pivots Indicator - Plots Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Levels. I created this indicator because when you have multiple Pivots on one chart (For Example The Monthly, Weekly, And Daily Pivots), the only way to know exactly what pivot level your looking at is to color ALL S1 Pivots the same color, but create the plot types to look different. ...

Rainbow Charts, by Mel Widner, is a trend detector. It uses recursively smoothed MAs (remember, this idea was proposed back in 1997 -- it was certainly cool back then!) and also builds an oscillator out of the MAs. Oscillator bands indicate the stability range. I have also included a simple binary wave based on whether all the MAs are in an upward slope or not....
