RedK Volume-Weighted Directional Efficiency Index (DXF)RedK Volume-Weighted Directional Efficiency Index (DXF) is a momentum indicator - that builds on Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER) concept.
DXF utilizes a restricted +100/-100 oscillator to represent the "quality" of a trend, and does a good job in detecting the possibility of an upcoming trend change (in both direction and quality), improving our ability to make decisions on trade entries and exits.
Here's a quick background on Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied from internet sources -----------------------------
Developed by Perry Kaufman and introduced in his book “New Trading Systems and Methods”, the Efficiency Ratio reflects relative market speed to volatility. There are cases, when it is used as a filter, which helps a trader to avoid ”choppy” markets or trading ranges and to identify smoother trends.
ER is the result of dividing the net change in price movement during n-periods by the sum of all bar-to-bar price changes during the same n-periods. In case the market is trending smoother, then the ratio will be higher. In case the ratio shows readings in proximity to zero, this implies that market movement is inefficient and ”choppy”.
If the Efficiency Ratio shows a reading of +100, this means that the trading instrument is in a bull trend and trending with perfect efficiency.
If the Efficiency Ratio shows a reading of -100, this means that the trading instrument is in a bear trend and trending with perfect efficiency.
It is impossible for any instrument to have a perfect Efficiency ratio, because any movement against the major trend during the examined period of time would cause the ratio to drop.
If the Efficiency Ratio shows a reading above +30 (common setting for the "Significant Level"), this is indicative of a quality bull trend. If the ratio shows a reading below -30, this is indicative of a quality bear trend.

Kaufman also used the ER as basis for his famous Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA).

How is DXF different from other ER-based indicators?
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Let's get the easy part out of the way: DXF has a "volume-weighting" option ✔
This option is OFF by default (to avoid errors with instruments with no volume data)
- once this option is applied, it provides the benefit of combining the volume effect into the calculation - those who appreciate the effect of volume on price action will hopefully find this option valuable
- The calculation of ER and how it can be "best utilized":
Let's examine the ER concept a bit closer: as a (math) concept, the (original) Efficiency Ratio (ER) takes the positive change of the price of an instrument during a certain period, and divide it by the sum of (absolute) price moves that were observed during that same period.
So, in the trader's language, we will be saying "out of a total of $20 moves (up and down) that MSFT did in the past 10 days, MSFT only made a net change of $5 up during that period" - so the "10-day ER" for MSFT in that case is 5/20 = 25% -- then we continue to observe that ongoing "10-day ER" and if it increases, we can expect that MSFT is going to establish a strong move (trend) up --- right?
the magic word here is to "observe the ongoing ER" - many of the ER based indicators just use the ER as calculated by Kaufman's original method. IMHO, these are just "point-in-time readings" - if we hope to get real insights from the ER, we need to take an average of that reading - for our "time window" we're interested in - and only then we can identify trends and patterns in the ER value as it changes during that windowss- DXF does that - and that allows a trader to say "the (weighted) 5-day average of the 10-day ER for MSFT is increasing, and that why i expect an up-trend" -- makes sense ? both the "Lookback" used to calculate the ER, and the Length of observed "window" for the Average ER are adjustable in DXF settings
Other Uses and Settings :
---------------------------------
- As a momentum indicator, DXF can predict an upcoming change of trend - cause that will reflect on the average ER value. There are few examples in the chart where the price move and ER trend *do not agree* - The trader can see these signs and take decisions accordingly
- DXF can help reveal best entries and exits: assume we are long-term bullish on MSFT, and we want to "buy the dip" - DXF can help reveal the time where price is recovering from extreme weakness - and that would be the ideal buy opportunities for us - exampled marked on the chart
- the Stepping & Smoothing options enable better visualization of the DXF plot. the "raw" DXF is still shown as a silver line.
- The "Significant Levels" option is available and is set to -20/+20 by default .. also adjustable in indicator settings.
- Please use DXF in combination with other trend and volume indicators, and with thorough chart / price action analysis and not in isolation to ensure you get proper signal confirmation for trades. In the chart above, you can see DXF combined with a moving average that can act as a filter and to confirm the price moves.

As usual, feedback & comments are welcome - if you find this work useful in your trading arsenal, please share a comment - i would be more than happy to learn about that. Good luck!

CCI Scalping Strategy---From the "Bitcoin Trading Strategies" book, by David Hanson---
After testing, works better with an ATR stop instead of the Strategy Stop. This parameter
can be changed from the strategy Inputs panel.
"CCI Scalping Strategy
Recommended Timeframe: 5 minutes
Indicators: 20 Period CCI, 20 WMA
Long when: Price closes above 20 WMA and CCI is below -100, enter when CCI crosses above -100.
Stop: Above 20 WMA"
Ehlers AutoCorrelation Indicator [CC]The AutoCorrelation Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics pgs 94-98) and this can be viewed as both a momentum indicator and a trend indicator. This was his basis for several other indicators that he created which I will be publishing soon but essentially as this indicator goes up then the stock is in an uptrend and also has upward momentum. You will notice that this indicator starts to go down even during an uptrend showing that the underlying trend is going to have an upcoming reversal. He also warns that the halfway mark is a possible reversal point so keep an eye out for that.
Generally speaking a good signal is to enter a long position when the indicator is under the midline and is starting to go up (or when the line is green) and to exit the position when the indicator goes over the midline. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors mean normal signals.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like me to publish!
Relative Volume (RVOL)Relative Volume is calculated by taking the ratio of current volume relative to a moving average of your choice. It gives you a quick way to see how much volume is involved in the current movement relative to a recent period.
Features:
-Customizable Moving Average: You can choose the period (default is 21) and type (SMA or EMA)
-Customizable base level: Default setting is 1.
-Smoothing option: Uses a Hull moving average to smooth out the RVOL area plot, by default its turned off.
Enjoy!
Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATRHere I present you on of Trade Pro's Trading Idea: Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATR.
This strategy is not as profitable as it can be seen in one of his videos. In the forex market, the strategy could reach a maximum of 35% profitability.
I have, as some of my followers have requested, created an overview of the current position, risk and leverage settings in the form of a table.
Furthermore, one can again swap between short and long positions.
It is now possible to select or deselect individual indicators.
I have chosen the ATR alone as a take profit stop loss, as in his strategy.
A position is only triggered as soon as all prerequisites have been fulfilled and a command is executed. This prevents false triggering by bots and repainting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does the strategy work?
ENTRY
Long
The MACD indicator must be above the zero line.
Then the K line must cross the D line.
Finally, when this happens, the Money Flow Index must be above the zero line.
Short
Contrary to the premise of long positions.
EXIT
ATR Exit
The value of ATR at the time of buying is multiplied by the value entered in "Profit factor ATR" and "Stop factor ATR". As soon as the price reaches this value, it is closed.
Important
The script must be optimized for each coin or currency pair.
I will publish a guide to the strategy shortly. There I will explain how the table works and how to set the strategy correctly.
The results of the strategy are without commissions and leverage.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in the comments.
255 EMA Strategy//--- From 15 Trading Examples by Trader Alyx ---
// Seems like this strategy works better if we reverse the EMA filter logic.
// "Description: This basic scalping strategy allows you to enter the market based upon sentiment
// provided by the EMA, set at 255 periods. When price is trading below the 255 EMA, you would
// look to enter a LONG BUY positions, and when price is trading above the 255 EMA, you would
// look to enter a SELL SHORT position. The MACD lagging indicator will show you clear signals for
// when to do this. When the MACD lines cross in a bullish manner and price is below the 255
// EMA, buy. When the MACD lines cross in a bearish manner and price is above the 255 EMA,
// sell.
// NOTE: Make sure that price is trading away from the 255EMA before entering a LONG or SHORT
// position. As you can see in the chart below, the clearest signs for trade entry were presented
// when price was trading AWAY from the 255EMA"
Ehlers Adaptive Relative Strength Index V1 [CC]The Adaptive Relative Strength Index was created by John Ehlers and this is his first version. I will of course publish his updated version at a later date along with publishing the final script from Jim Sloman's Ocean Theory book. I have changed his script to include extra smoothing to provide clear buy and sell signals. This is a version of a RSI that is very adaptive to changes by finding the length of the current cycle and using that to calculate the rsi and I use this same basic process to provide extra smoothing. A great strategy of course is to buy right after the indicator goes from below the oversold level to right above it and stay in until the indicator turns red or when it reaches the overbought level. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones and the darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors are normal signals.

Trend Follow SystemTrend following algorithm:
We take 1- 5 Fibonacci Ema values. 21, 34, 55, 89, 144
2- We normalize the changes of these values over time between 1-100.
3- We take the ema value of 1 length so that it does not follow a horizontal course after the normalization process.
4- In order not to experience too much change, we take the value of sma with a length of 5.
5-We think that when all values are 100, the trend is up, when all values are 0, the trend is down, otherwise the trend is horizontal.
Natural Market River [CC]The Natural Market River was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 59-62) and this is another momentum indicator that is extremely similar to the previous indicator I published, the Natural Market Mirror . This has almost identical buy and sell signals but different way to handle calculations so I'm going to leave it up to you which one you will prefer. Since this is almost identical, the buy and sell signals work in the same way with both strong signals and normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

CCI & EMA strategy by TradeswithashishThis strategy is extremely useful for positional traders or traders using timeframe 15-minute of higher. It uses following combo of values:
VWAP, CCI, Volume and Moving average (simple and exponential)
Caution:
Avoid taking trade if candle size is greater than twice the average candle size. for that wait for the retracement to near trailing stoploss
Natural Market Mirror [CC]The Natural Market Mirror was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 49-57) and this is a continuation of my series from Jim Sloman's indicators. This indicator is also a momentum indicator and is very similar to the previous indicator I published, the Ocean Indicator and of course this indicator is built using ideas from the Ocean indicator. It may just be my opinion but I feel like this indicator provides better buy and sell signals in comparison. I built this using strong buy and sell indicators in addition to normal ones so darker colors are the strong signals and lighter colors are the normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

RSI OverBought/Sold Price PredictUsing the RSI formula, predict what price should be next to be oversold or overbought.
For using support and resistance, turn on "smoothing" option.
White Line = what price should be next to be RSI = 50.
Orange Line = what price should be next to be RSI = 70 or 30 (Default)
Yellow Line = what price should be next to be RSI = 80 or 20 (Default)
Green Line = what price should be next to be RSI = 90 or 10 (Default)
Momentum Performance This Indicator displays the momentum (performance) of the symbol in percent.
You can compare the performance with other symbols.
The default benchmarks are the S&P 500, the MSCI World and the FTSE All World EX US.
The default length corresponds to one year in the timeframes monthly, weekly and daily.
In intraday the default length is 200, but you can also set your own setting.
You have also the opportunity to display a average momentum performance of the main symbol.
Ocean Indicator [CC]The Ocean Indicator was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 39-47). Sadly he passed away a few years ago so it is extremely hard to find his code or more information about his trading system other than through his books so I did my best to replicate all of his work and I will be publishing his indicators over the next few weeks. Big thanks to @altcoinz for giving me all of the information I needed to replicate his work. Since this is his basic foundation for everything else he has done, I will be publishing it first. I had to change things a bit to provide clear buy and sell signals so let me know your thoughts.
This is essentially his version of a momentum indicator and the basics of it are to buy when momentum is increasing and sell when it is decreasing. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones and darker colors are for strong signals and lighter colors are for normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

I struggled to always see it visually this marks whether there is or isn't imbalance
Very quick way of finding imbalance between bars
[VPCI] Volume Price Confirmation Indicatorversion 1.1
I implemented Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), invented by Buff Dormeier.
I applied the logic in the book "Investing with Volume Analysis".
Like MACD, it can also be used as a divergence or convergence method. The default value of whether to use this function is off.
Gold cross and dead cross points can also be marked. The default in this case is on.
It will be continuously updated. I will add the [four kinds of strategic sectors; sooner or later with the volume.
Thank you so much.
MACD ReLoadedA different approach to Gerald Appel's classical Moving Average Convergence Divergence.
Appel originaly set MACD with exponential moving averages.
In this version users can apply 11 different types of moving averages which they can benefit from their smoothness and vice versa sharpnesses...
Built in Moving Average type defaultly set as VAR but users can choose from 11 different Moving Average types like:
SMA : Simple Moving Average
EMA : Exponential Moving Average
WMA : Weighted Moving Average
DEMA : Double Exponential Moving Average
TMA : Triangular Moving Average
VAR : Variable Index Dynamic Moving Average a.k.a. VIDYA
WWMA : Welles Wilder's Moving Average
ZLEMA : Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
TSF : True Strength Force
HULL : Hull Moving Average
TILL : Tillson T3 Moving Average
In shorter time frames backtest results shows us TILL, WWMA, VIDYA (VAR) could be used to overcome whipsaws because they have less numbers of signals.
In longer time frames like daily charts WMA, Volume Weighted MACD V2, and MACDAS and SMA are more accurate according to backtest results.
My interpretation of Buff Dormeier's Volume Weighted MACD V2:
Thomas Aspray's MACD: (MACDAS)
GD MomentumGD Momentum plots short, medium, and long term momentum indicators. The indicators are inspired by momentum structural analysis techniques, and are the % above or below different moving averages. The short term plot is the % above or below the 30 unit moving average, medium is 200 units, and long is 1000 units.
Draw trend lines and horizontal lines to identify the momentum structure and detect trend changes before they show up in price action.
Rate Of Change [SIDD]This Oscillator is helping identify rate of change in Price.
Basic Definition :-
The Rate of Change ( ROC ) is a momentum technical indicator.
It measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a certain number of periods ago.
This indicator is plotted against zero, with the indicator moving upwards into positive territory if price changes are to the upside, and moving into negative territory if price changes are to the downside.
Customization of inbuilt ROC:- I have created EMA of ROC with 9 days exponential moving average and Coloring the plot of 9 EMA of ROC Green and RED. Green line indicates that Price change rate is positive in last 9 time period on selected resolution (time frame) and Red line indicated that negative price change rate.
I have identified the zone like +5 and -5 line area in study where some resistance or support is there for 9 EMA ROC line. and if 9 EMA ROC crosses those line then intensity of previous trend get increased.
I have drawn here breakout trendline from lower high candle with hand mark up and same time ROC is above 5 marked with hand up. Similarly I have drawn hand mark down where breakdown trendline is drawn for higher low candle breakdown.
You can see clearly ROC 9 EMA is sync correctly with breakout and breakdown candle when ROC 9 EMA
is above 5 and below 5.
I able to observed that ROC 9 EMA is helping in finding correct breakout and breakdown candles with proper trendline breakout and breakdown.
above all my observation is with daily time frame and 1 Hr time frame candles mostly. If you are changing time frame then see the difference and post same in comment so I can watch those changes as well,
You can modify this study and lets create better than this as well. As I think nothing is perfect in this world always there is scope of improvement.
This study to see how the price are getting changing and what is the rate of change .
This study doesn't give any buy and sell recommendation.
I have other indicator which is given in my signature below that you can check.
Ultimate Momentum Indicator [CC]This is a custom indicator of mine loosely based on the work by Steve J Godwin & Louisa C Schneider (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2021 pg 22) and this works pretty well at anticipating future price swings as the momentum falls. The idea I was going for was to introduce the idea of reversals in combination with a momentum indicator so you can better identify peaks and valleys. I have included strong buy and signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are the strong buy and sell signals and lighter colors are the normal ones. I would recommend to buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like me to publish!
Dynamic Price SwingFinally, a price channel oscillator that works.
I programmed three flavors into this.
The first flavor uses the Fast and Slow EMA to check for the trend to ensure you don't trade in the wrong direction simply because the price crosses the previous highest high or lowest low (based on lookback bars).
The second flavor uses a seven point average of the Fibonacci bands to create an upper and lower central channel for quick trades (like DOGE).
The third flavor uses the golden Fibonacci ratio of 1.618 and trades when the price moves above or below this band.
Ehlers Smoothed Adaptive Momentum [CC]The Smoothed Adaptive Momentum indicator was created by John Ehlers and this indicator gives a lot of useful information. When the indicator is above 0 then there is very strong upward momentum and when the indicator falls below 0 then there is very strong downward momentum. A very profitable way to use this particular indicator is buy long when the indicator is below 0 and it crosses over it's signal line and then sell of course when you get the first sell signal. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors are normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

[FTA] Curvature of MeniscusIntroduction:
Curvature of Meniscus is a hybrid indicator comprised of three parts:
1. The first part is a heavily modified Demarker RSI which is represented as the histogram and is the main trend indicator C1 .
2. The second part is the 0 line which is replaced by the Waddah Attar Explosion V2 indicator C2 .
3. The third part is the background color which is borrowed from the Klinger Safety Zones volume indicator Vol .
It is smooth and has almost zero lag.
The signals can be used as per nnfx C1-C2-Vol algorithm.
The DeMarker indicator is relatively unknown to trading beginners but enjoys huge support from the more experienced traders. The indicator measures the strength of a trend and thus can give you a warning when a change in the trend direction might occur. This can not only help you to find new trade entries but also prevent you from entering into losing trades or letting your open trades run and ultimately result in a loss.
The line of the indicator is calculated as follows: First the indicator finds the minimal and the maximal value of the specified period. Afterwards those values are used to calculate the moving average of these values which then is displayed in the chart. Just like most oscillators the DeMarker indicator uses oversold and overbought zones at 0.3 and 0.7 to define good entry opportunities.
The "Curvature of Meniscus" indicator has the DeMarker indicator/RSI modified in three different ways:
1. Smoothed and almost no-lagged;
2. Colored histogram to determine the trend and the divergences;
3. An early signal line for those who like to take counter-trend trades/reversal entries.
Play with the settings and let me know what you think about this new hybrid!
