Anchored Momentum (AMOM), by Rudy Stefenel, is a modified momentum indicator to capture the relative momentum. AMOM uses SMA as the reference for deriving momentum, thereby anchoring it to that MA rather than "value of close n bars back". Mr.Stefenel suggests using this like other oscillators -- crossing signal line, crossing zero, divergences. For alerts, use...
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...
The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent. A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength,...

I 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...
This is a famous indicator I have seen used by many Forex traders in MT4 platform. This indicator uses the difference between EMA of "close" and EMA of "open" to form the oscillator lines (not just a convergence/divergence calculation between EMA of "close") Current market state is determined by which histogram is above zero line. For more confirmation, wait for...
The "AC-P" version of the Derivative Oscillator is my personal customized version of Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator (using Everget's implementation of it as the base), with the the following modifications and additions: VWAP Indication - option to show whether the price input option is above or below the Daily VWAP (red triangles = price input is...
HACOLT (Heikin Ashi Candles Oscillator Long Term) is a technical indicator designed by Sylvain Vervoort. It is based on Mr.Vervoort's other indicator, HACO (Heikin-Ashi Candles Oscillator - posted here: ). Optimized for long-term trading, HACOLT shows three levels: -1, 0 and 1. These levels suggest "an open short position", "no open position", and "an open long...
I 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...
One more to add to the Ehlers collection. Ehlers Instantaneous Trendline, by John Ehlers, identifies the market trend by doing removing cycle component. I think, this simplicity is what makes it attractive :) To understand Ehlers's thought process behind this, refer to the PDF linked below. There are atleast 6 variations of this ITrend. This version is from...

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) *...
Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average (eVWMA) is a statistical measure using the volume to define the period of the moving average. The eVWMA can be looked at as an approximation to the average price paid per share. Multiplier is usually the number of shares, but it can be approximated using cumulative sum of volume (Enable it via "Use Cumulative Volume" option)...
This is a port of a famous MT4 indicator, as requested by user @maximus71. This indicator uses MACD/BB to track trend direction and strength. Author suggests using this indicator on 30mins. Explanation from the indicator developer: "Various components of the indicator are: Dead Zone Line: Works as a filter for weak signals. Do not trade when the red or green...

STO is designed to be calculated using either issues or volume, I will post a follow up indicator that makes use of volume. You can read about the interpretation of the signals (& gotchas) in the link below. I have added support for NYSE /...
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...
Cycle Channel is loosely based on Hurst's nested channels. Basic idea is to identify and highlight the shorter cycles, in the context of higher degree cycles. This indicator plots the shorter term (red) & medium term (green) cycles as channels. Some things to note: As you can see the red channel keeps moving with in the bounds of green channel. When green...
Variable Moving Average, often abbreviated as VMA, is an Exponential Moving Average developed by Tushar S. Chande. VMA automatically adjusts its smoothing constant on the basis of Market Volatility. Use this like other Moving Averages. I have added the following options that can be enabled via options page: - Trend Direction Indication: Green = Up trend, Blue =...
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...
