Short-term Volume and Price Oscillator (SVAPO), developed by Sylvian Vervroot, combines both Price and Volume to construct an oscillator. In essence, when the price is trending up and volume is increasing, volume is added into the oscillator calculation. Conversely, when price is trending down and volume is increasing, volume will be subtracted from the...

This oscillator is derived from Absolute Strength Index, originally developed by Tudor Marcelin (Art Invest). I made it an oscillator mainly to make it easy to identify the divergences and price-flows. There is not much documentation available online for Absolute Strength Index afaik, lets hope Mr.Tudor comes across this and provides us a detailed writeup...

Market temperature, introduced by Dr.Alexander Elder, helps differentiate between sleepy, quiet and hot market periods. Following is Mr.Elder's explanation on how to use this indicator (from his book "Come in to my Trading Room"): "When markets are quiet, the adjacent bars tend to overlap. The consensus of value is well established, and the crowd does little...

This indicator was designed to work in real time, and needs the "calculate on every tick" turned on. It verifies if the volume from the current candle is increasing more or less than the average. Example using 5 min. candles: 1 minute is 20% of the time for the candle. So, if the volume is at 20% or below of the vol.average, the market is stable(price not moving...

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.

I was pretty...

Market Direction Indicator (MDI), by Donald Lambert, is an extension of simple moving average cross over systems. Series of price cross over points are determined to derive MDI. Note that the short/long lengths will differ between instruments. They need to be tuned properly. I have added an option to specify a "cutoff" parameter. When MDI is in the cutoff zone...

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...

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...

Another famous Ehlers indicator. This is the adaptive version of Ehlers' Cyber Cycle (CC) (already published, check "More info" below). Idea behind making something "adaptive" is to calculate it using dynamic cycle period inputs instead of static setting. In adaptive cyber cycle, Ehlers uses the dominant cycle period as the length in computation of...

Macek, compares the direction of the change in price (up or down) to the direction of the change in volume and assigns a number to that specific relationship. By quantifying price/volume interaction, P-V rank seeks to determine our position within a typical market cycle. The various modes shown on the chart above or...
