RSI Laguerre Time w/Fractal Energy

Designed by John Ehlers, the Laguerre Relative Strength Index attempts to avoid whipsaws and lag, which traditional RSI tends to show. The Laguerre Relative Strength Index uses a four-element filter in order to provide a “time warp”, such that the low frequency elements are delayed much more than the high frequency elements.

Accumulation/Distribution

A momentum indicator that shows whether the security is being generally accumulated (bought) or distributed (sold). It seeks to identify divergences betweenthe price and volume flow. Its formula: Acc/Dist = ((Close – Low) – (High – Close)) / (High – Low) * Volume

Accumulation/Distribution Pressure

This is a momentum indicator that determines whether the security is being generally accumulated (bought) or distributed (sold) based solely on price action: it sums up all if close > close[1] then close - Min(close[1], low) else if close < close[1] then close - Max(close[1], high) else 0

ADX

Average Direction Index - developed by Welles Wilder. Shows the strength of the trend, whether the trend is positive or negative - the higher the value, the stronger the trend.

The two Directional Movement Indicators (DMIs) show whether the trend is positive or negative - that is, if DMI+ is higher than DMI-, the trend is positive, otherwise negative.

Directional Movement Indicator - created by J. Welles Wilder, published in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. It identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving.

more...

Ergodic Candle Oscillator

Created by William Blau. It is a double smoothed ratio of the difference between the Close and Open of each bar to the difference between its High and Low.

Fast Stochastic

Fast Stochastic - the raw stochastic line (%K) is calculated as the position of current price in the range of highest high and lowest low for the time period for %K. It is then exponentially smoothed to produce the %D line.

Fisher Transform

Fisher Transform - published by John Ehlers in the Stocks and Commodity Magazine Nov. 2002. It is used to identify price reversals and is based on the assumption that prices behave like a square wave and do not follow a Gaussian or normal distribution."

more...

Force Index

Force Index - An oscillator that measures the force, or power, of bulls behind particular market rallies and of bears behind every decline.
The three key components of the force index are the direction of price change, the extent of the price change, and the trading volume. When the force index is used in conjunction with a moving average, the resulting figure can accurately measure significant changes in the power of bulls and bears. In this way, Elder has taken an extremely useful solitary indicator, the moving average, and combined it with his force index for even greater predictive success.

more...

Full Stochastic

Full Stochastic - a general version of the Stochastic. The third parameter is the smoothing parameter. If set to 1, makes the line a Fast Stochastic. If set to 3, it becomes a Slow Stochastic.

Gator Oscillator

Created by Bill Williams, it is supplemental to the Alligator indicator. It shows the degree of convergence/divergence of the Alligator's three lines and helps discern the trending (awake) and non-trending (slumber) patterns.

QStick

Tushar Chande:, "Qstick extracts the essence of the candlestick approach by taking a moving average of the difference between the closing and the opening price. …It can be plotted over a candlestick chart to spot divergences. …When markets make giant price moves, a slackening of the momentum can be seen when Qstick crosses its trailing average. ………A longer term, trend following approach with Qstick is to use the zero crossing of the Qstick values."

Rainbow Oscillator

Rainbow Oscillator - built on the MA Rainbow indicator

ROC

Rate of Change

RSI

RVI

Schaff Trend Cycle

Combines Slow Stochastics and the MACD. The improved signal line gives the STC better ability to act as an early warning sign to detect trends.

more...

Slow RSI

Slow RSI - The Slow Relative Strength Index is a version of the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI), adapted for usage on longer-term charts. While closely resembling the RSI, its calculation mechanism involves comparing the close price with its exponential moving average instead of its previous value. The overall sense of the indicator, though, remains the same: it compares the magnitude of a stock's recent gains to the magnitude of its recent losses on the scale from 0 to 100.
