Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin Oscillator) Indicator plots Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin). This indicator looks
to improve on Larry William's Accumulation Distribution formula that
compared the closing price with the opening price. In the early 1970's,
opening prices for stocks stopped being transmitted by the exchanges.
This made it difficult to calculate Williams' formula. The Chaikin
Oscillator uses the average price of the bar calculated as follows
(High + Low) /2 instead of the Open.
The indicator subtracts a 10 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function from a 3 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function.

[ZL]Z-score IndicatorThe Z-indicator is popular in the statistics. What if we use it to identify the tops and bottoms. Very simple indicator.
Indicator: Intrady Momentum IndexThe Intraday Momentum Index (IMI), developed by Tushar Chande, is a cross-breed between RSI and candlestick analysis. IMI determines the candle type that dominated the recent price action, using that to pinpoint the extremes in intraday momentum.
As the market tries to bottom after a sell off, there are gradually more candles with green bodies, even though prices remain in a narrow range. IMI can be used to detect this shift, because its values will increase towards 70. Similarly, as the market begins to top, there will be more red candles, causing IMI to decline towards 20. When the market is in trading range, IMI values will be in the neutral range of 40 to 60.
Usually intraday momentum leads interday momentum. QStick can show interday momentum, it complements IMI. You will find it in my published indicators.
I have added volatility bands based OB/OS, in addition to static OB/OS levels. You can also turn on IMI Ehlers smoothing. BTW, all parameters are configurable, so do check out the options page.

Indicators: 6 RSI variationsAs we all know, as published by Wilder, RSI makes use of "CLOSE" values. You probably have experimented changing the input to hl2 or hlc3 . I have included many other RSI variations in this chart. Refer to the developers section below to learn how you can use this code in your scripts.
1) RSI with Volume
---------------------------------------------
Suggested by Morris, this idea adds volume to the RSI indicator. Because volume offers one means of determining whether money is entering or leaving a market, this would provide additional information with which to make trading decisions.
2) RSI using last Open
---------------------------------------------
This is RSI with yesterday's open, This basically compares two full days of price action and in the process produces a smoother RSI line.
RSI of today's close is used as a signal (blue line).
3) RSI using SMA
---------------------------------------------
Wilder used his own MA for calculating RSI (check my post on Wilders MA here - -- This closely resembles EMA). One of Morris's suggestion is to try out SMA.
Compared to normal RSI, you will see more squiggles here.
4) RSI using EMA
---------------------------------------------
Same idea as above, but using EMA.
5) RSI with Fibs
---------------------------------------------
How much does RSI retrace? This makes it easy to determine that :)
6) RSI of MACD
---------------------------------------------
As I mentioned earlier, RSI is a pluggable formula. You can substitute "close" with any data series to derive an index out of it.
This shows RSI of MACD. Note that this is range bound.
More info on RSI variations:
drive.google.com
For Pinescript developers:
---------------------------------------------
You can substitute your favorite indicator in the RSI function. I have made the RSI calculation a separate function in all the indicators above.
Following are the reusable functions (simply copy to your script and call with proper arguments):
* WiMA(src, length)
* calc_rsi(fv, length): This is equivalent to stock rsi() in TV.
* calc_rsi_volume(fv, length)
* calc_rsi_sma(fv, length)
* calc_rsi_ema(fv, length)
* calc_rsi_lastopen(fv, length)
* calc_macd(src, fast, slow)
You can also pick up fibs drawing code and put in on any indicator.
Indicators: Twiggs Money Flow [TMF] & Wilder's MA [WiMA]TMF is a CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) variation that addresses some of the gaps in the original indicator. More info: www.incrediblecharts.com
TMF uses true range, rather than daily Highs minus Lows. Also, uses Wilder's MA rather than SMA/EMA.
Since I had to write Wilder's MA (WiMA) for TMF, I have published that also as a separate indicator. WiMA is like EMA, but with a different "alpha" value.
How to include this in your charts?

- Click on "Share" button (top right on this chart). A dialog box opens up.
- Click on "Make it mine" button. This will create a copy of my published chart for you to edit.
- You can click on "{}" button next to the indicator name to get access to the source code.
- Save it to your CustomScripts library.
3 more indicators: Inverse Fisher on RSI/MFI and CyberCycleSuggested by John Ehlers, IFT helps you to determine the exact oversold/overbought points in any oscillator-type indicators.
The 3 IFT based indicators in this chart are:
- Inverse Fisher on RSI (IFTRSI)
- Inverse Fisher on MFI (IFTMFI)
- Inverse Fisher on CyberCycle (IFTCC)
Suggested method to use any IFT indicator is to buy when the indicator crosses over –0.5 or crosses over +0.5 if it has not previously crossed over –0.5 and to sell short when the indicators crosses under +0.5 or crosses under –0.5 if it has not previously crossed under +0.5.
More info: www.mesasoftware.com
You can use these indicators by doing "Make it mine" (Click on "Share" to open the dialog box with this button).
Let me know what you think, would love to hear how these indicators are used and how effective these are for other instruments.
Indicator: HawkEye Volume IndicatorHawkEye 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 indicator out there as I don't have access to one (noticed the "clone" part? :) ). This is a direct port of a similar MT4 indicator. If you have access to the commercial indicator in another platform, do post some comparison results.
Indicator: Relative Volume Indicator & Freedom Of MovementRelative Volume Indicator
------------------------------
RVI is a support-resistance technical indicator developed by Melvin E. Dickover. Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price Lines" (DPLs), also introduced by the author.
RVI is usually plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default) when the volume is unusually large. According to the author, this happens if the indicator value exceeds 2.0, thus signifying that a possible DPL is present.
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value)
corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the
DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its
close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar,
the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using
the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used
instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open
price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, RVI is used along with the FreedomOfMovement indicator discussed next.
Freedom of Movement Indicator
------------------------------
FOM is a support-resistance technical indicator, also by Melvin E. Dickover. FOM is the ratio of relative effect (relative price change) to the relative effort (normalized volume), expressed in standard deviations. This value is plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default( when this ratio is unusually high. These highlighted bars, or "spikes", define the positioning of the DPLs.
Suggestions for placing DPLs are the same as for the Relative Volume Indicator discussed above.
Note that clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the Relative Volume Indicator. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.

I am still trying these on various instruments to understand the workings more. Don't forget to share what you learn -- any use cases / ideal scenarios / gotchas, would love to hear them all.
Indicators: Chartmill Value Indicator & Random Walk IndexChartMill Value Indicator & Modified ChartMill Value Indicator :
-------------------------------
Developed by Dirk Vandycke, CVI tracks how far the price spread is from its MA. Since MA keeps increasing even when price consolidates or stalls, it is very difficult for the deviation from a moving average to remain in the overbought or oversold regions for extended periods, which represents a significant improvement over other oscillators such as the RSI and Stochastic indicators.
However, a simple price spread from a moving average would not be comparable across all securities, which would preclude us from using the spread in systematic strategies. Fortunately, Mr.Vandycke addresses this problem by dividing the spread by the average true range, which is dependent on both the price level and volatility of the underlying security.
There is a variation of CVI called Modified CVI, which does time normalization of ATR (not the MA). This indicator supports displaying "Modified CVI" too. Check the options page.
This indicator is best used with other oscillators, to confirm signals. Zero line (in this case, "1" line since the gray line is drawn at the value of 1) crossovers should also be considered as signals.
I suggest tuning the OB/OS levels to match your instrument (usually it is around 0.5/-0.5 range).

www.traders.com
Random Walk Index
-------------------------
RWI is used to determine if an issue is trending or in a random trading range (like ADX/Aroon). It attempts to do this by first determining an issue's trading range. The next step is to calculate a series of RWI indexes for the maximum look-back period. The largest index move in relation to a random walk is used as today's index.
Michael Poulos, inventor of RWI, recommends 2 to 7 for the short-term time frames and 8-64 for long terms. An issue is trending higher if the long term RWI of highs is greater than 1, while a downtrend is indicated if the long term RWI of lows is greater than 1.
Below are some more rules developed by Mr.Poulos:
- Enter a long (or close short) when the long-term RWI of the highs is greater than 1 and the short-term RWI of lows peaks above 1
- Enter short (or close long) when the long-term RWI of the lows is greater than 1 and the short-term RWI of highs peaks above 1

Indicator: WaveTrend Oscillator [WT]WaveTrend Oscillator is a port of a famous TS/MT indicator.
When the oscillator is above the overbought band (red lines) and crosses down the signal (dotted line), it is usually a good SELL signal. Similarly, when the oscillator crosses above the signal when below the Oversold band (green lines), it is a good BUY signal.
I have marked some cross-overs in the above chart. As you can see, they are *not* the only useful signals WT generates. Try it on your instrument and let me know what you think.
Indicators OverlayHello All,
This script shows the indicators in separate windows on the main chart. Included indicators are RSI, CCI, OBV, Stochastic, Money Flow Index, Average True Range and Chande Momentum Oscillator. indicator windows are located at the top or bottom of the chart according to last moves of the Closing price. Different colors are used for each indicator. Horizontal levels are shown as dashed line and label as well.
Using the options;
You can enable/disable the indicators you want to see or not
You can change source and length for each indicator
You can set window length. using this length indicator windows are located on the chart
After you added this indicator to your chart I recommend: right click on any of the indicator windows => "Visual Order" => "Bring to front" as seen screenshot below:
in this example only 3 indicators enabled and period is set as 80:
indicator windows moves to the top or bottom of the chart according to the close price:
P.S. if you want to see any other indicator in the options then leave a comment under the indicator ;)
Enjoy!

Indicator: Vervoort Smoothed Oscillator [LazyBear]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 for this oscillator (detailed explanation in the reference material below):
- It must be bullish for a buy signal and bearish for a sell signal. This means that both the oscillators must be moving up or down.
- Use the oscillators for detecting divergences. Divergence even in one is still valid.
- Stoch crossing 50 is a good confirmation signal. Momentum usually is an excellent leading indicator, so keep an eye on Stoch.

Complete list of my indicators (Check the comments, I keep the list updated there):
Indicator: Elder Impulse SystemAccording to Elder, "The Impulse System encourages you to enter a trade cautiously but exit fast, by identifying inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. This is the professional approach to trading, the total opposite of the amateur's style. Beginners jump into trades without thinking too much and take forever to get out, hoping and waiting for the market to turn their way."
The Impulse System is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. As a result, the Impulse System combines trend following and momentum to identify impulses that can be traded.
By default it uses your chart's time frame, but you can set it to any custom time frame via options page. Optionally, price bars can be color coded too.

Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone IndicatorVolume Zone Indicator (VZO) and Price Zone Indicator (PZO) are by Waleed Aly Khalil.
Volume Zone Indicator (VZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
VZO is a leading volume oscillator that evaluates volume in relation to the direction of the net price change on each bar.
A value of 40 or above shows bullish accumulation. Low values (< 40) are bearish. Near zero or between +/- 20, the market is either in consolidation or near a break out. When VZO is near +/- 60, an end to the bull/bear run should be expected soon. If that run has been opposite to the long term price trend direction, then a reversal often will occur.
Traditional way of looking at this also works:
* +/- 40 levels are overbought / oversold
* +/- 60 levels are extreme overbought / oversold
More info:
drive.google.com
Price Zone Indicator (PZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
PZO is interpreted the same way as VZO (same formula with "close" substituted for "volume").
Chart Markings
------------------------------------------------------------
In the chart above,
* The red circles indicate a run-end (or reversal) zones (VZO +/- 60).
* Blue rectangle shows the consolidation zone (VZO betwen +/- 20)
I have been trying out VZO only for a week now, but I think this has lot of potential. Give it a try, let me know what you think.
Indicators: Better Volume Indicator & InstrumentVolumeBetter Volume Indicator
-----------------------------------------
This is a direct port of a famous indicator from Tradestation platform.
BVI improves on your typical volume histogram by coloring the bars based on 5 criteria:
* Volume Climax Up – high volume, high range, up bars (red)
* Volume Climax Down – high volume, high range, down bars (white)
* High Volume Churn – high volume, low range bars (green, barcolor= blue)
* Low Volume – low volume bars (yellow)
* Volume Climax plus High Volume Churn – both the above conditions (magenta)
When there are no volume signals the default histogram bar coloring is cyan.
Bars can also be colored to match volume color. Enable "Change BarColors?" in the options page.
Volume Climax Up bars are typically seen at:
* The start of up trends
* The end of up trends, and
* Pullbacks during down trends.
Volume Climax Down bars are typically seen at:
* The start of down trends
* The end of down trends, and
* Pullbacks during up trends.
High Volume Churn bars are typically seen at:
* The end of up trends
* The end of down trends, and
* Profit taking mid-trend.
Low Volume bars are typically seen at:
* The end of up trends
* The end of down trends, and
* Pullbacks mid-trend.

Instrument Volume
-----------------------------------------
This is a simple script that allows you to plot volume for any instrument.
Very handy when you want to compare volumes. Just add multiple instances and select the symbol you want via Options page.
This script also gets close/open for the selected symbol. If you are itching to get started on Pinescripting (scripting language used at TV), I suggest trying out the following, using this script as the template:
- Show RSI for any instrument
(hint: "close" for the selected symbol is already in script. Do a "plot(rsi(c, 14))")
- MACD / CCI / ....
- Plot the difference (not correlation). This may be of interest in some instruments.
For ex. BTC in BTCE exchange mostly lags BITSTAMP.
Hope this piques your interest in Pine. Feel free to post in the Pinescript room if you have any queries.
Indicators: Traders Dynamic Index, HLCTrends and Trix Ribbon1) Trix Ribbon
===============================================================
This was built on request. Many Stock/FX traders overlay multiple Trix lines to form the ribbon, this indicator makes it easy.
Also, optionally this can plot a BollingerBand on Trix_1.
More info on Trix:
stockcharts.com
2) High/Low/Close Trend Indicator
===============================================================
Simple indicator using EMAs of H/L/C. If blue line is above the red line, the trend is up, else down. Keep an eye on the zero line too.
3) Traders Dynamic Index
===============================================================
This hybrid indicator helps to decipher and monitor market conditions related to trend direction, market strength, and market volatility.
TDI has the following components:
* Green line = RSI Price line
* Red line = Trade Signal line
* Blue lines = Volatility Bands
* Orange line = Market Base Line
Trend Direction - Immediate and Overall:
----------------------------------------------------
* Immediate = Green over Red...price action is moving up.
Red over Green...price action is moving down.
* Overall = Orange line trends up and down generally between the lines 32 & 68. Watch for Orange line to bounces off these lines for market reversal. Trade long when price is above the Orange line, and trade short when price is below.
Market Strength & Volatility - Immediate and Overall:
----------------------------------------------------
* Immediate = Green Line - Strong = Steep slope up or down.
Weak = Moderate to Flat slope.
* Overall = Blue Lines - When expanding, market is strong and trending. When constricting, market is weak and in a range. When the Blue lines are extremely tight in a narrow range, expect an economic announcement or other market condition to spike the market.
Entry conditions:
----------------------------------------------------
* Scalping - Long = Green over Red,
Short = Red over Green
* Active - Long = Green over Red & Orange lines
Short = Red over Green & Orange lines
* Moderate - Long = Green over Red, Orange, & 50 lines
Short= Red over Green, Green below Orange & 50 line
Exit conditions:
----------------------------------------------------
If Green crosses either Blue lines, consider exiting when the Green line crosses back over the Blue line.
* Long = Green crosses below Red
* Short = Green crosses above Red

Indicators: Constance Brown Composite Index & RSI+AvgsI am a big fan of Constance Brown. Her book "Technical Analysis for Trading Professionals" is an absolute classic (get the 2nd edition).
I have included here 2 of the indicators she uses in all her charts.
Composite Index
----------------------------------------
This is a formula Ms Brown developed (Cardwell may not agree!) to identify divergence failures with in the RSI. This also highlights the horizontal support levels with in the indicator area.
This index removes the normalization range restrictions in RSI. This means it is not bound with in 0-100 range. Also, this has embedded momentum calculation in it.
The fine nuances of this indicator are not documented well enough, if you find some good documentation, do let me know. Always use this with RSI (like the next one).
RSI+Avgs
----------------------------------------
This is plain 14 period RSI with a 9-period EMA and 45-period SMA overlaid.
Indicators: Rainbow Charts Oscillator, Binary Wave and MAsRainbow 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. If you see any value above 0.5 there, the trend is definitely up (all MAs pointing up).

Here's my complete list of indicators (With these 3, the total count should be above 100 now...will update the list later today)
Indicators: KaseCD & Kase Peak OscillatorI have included ports of 2 indicators from MT4 (not from the original commercial source). I couldn't cross check if these matched their commercial equivalents (you need to assume they don't!). If you own any of these in other platforms, appreciate if you could publish some comparison results here.
Kase Peak Oscillator is the difference between two trend measurements, one for rising markets and the other for falling markets. KCD is the PeakOsc minus its own average. So, KPO takes the place of a traditional oscillator and the KCD takes place of the traditional MACD.
Ms.Kase claims KCD is far more accurate than MACD.

Indicators: Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram & Sentiment Zone OscVolume-Weighted MACD Histogram
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram, first discussed by Buff Dormeier, is a modified version of MACD study. It calculates volume-averaged Close price for finding the histogram.
More info:
www.moneyshow.com
Sentiment Zone Oscillator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sentiment Zone Oscillator, developed by Walid Khalil, is a complementing oscillator to VZO and PZO.
To quote Walid:
>> The sentiment zone oscillator (SZO) is a leading contrary oscillator that measures the extreme emotions of a single market or share.
>> It measures and defines both extremes, bullishness (overoptimism) and bearishness (overpessimism), that could lead to a change
>> in sentiment, eventually changing the trend of the time frame under study. The SZO was devised on the belief that after several waves
>> of rising prices, investors begin to get bullish on the stock with increasing confidence since the price has been rising for some time.
>> The SZO measures that bullishness/bearishness and marks overbought/oversold levels.
SZO has its own oversold/overbought bands. Also, when SZO goes above 7, it indicates extreme optimism. When the SZO goes below -7, it indicates extreme pessimism.

Indicators: Butterworth & Super Smoother filtersThese indicators, from John Ehlers' book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures", are EMA alternatives.
The basic idea behind all these is to try to get smoothing with as little lag as possible. As you can see from the chart, they are much smoother, have better response, and a closer match to market prices.
Basically, all the responsiveness of a faster EMA, with the smoothing of a slower EMA :)
Indicator: Volatility Quality Index [VQI]Volatility Quality Index (VQI), by Thomas Stridsman, points out the difference between bad and good volatility in order to identify better trade opportunities in the market.
This plots 3 lines:
- Red line is the VQI (actually, sum of VQI).
- Green line is the 9-period SMA of sum_of_VQI.
- Orange line is the 200-period SMA of sum_of_VQI.
Stridsman suggested to buy when VQI has increased in the previous 10 bars (use the SMAs) and sell when it has decreased in the previous 10 bars. IMO, use this with your other indicators as a confirmation signal.
