FireBird

Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

The trend is identified by combining Parabolic stop and reverse indicator (PSAR) and ADX indicator. When PSAR is in buy mode and ADX is showing an uptrend, the trend is marked as up. When PSAR is in sell mode and ADX is showing downtrend, the trend is marked as down. All other situations are marked as a neutral trend.

RSL

Levy’s Relative Strength Indicator (RSL) is used to identify the instruments showing strength and weakness. The concept of Relative Strength to Levy is based on the assumption that securities which exhibited a large relative strength in the past will also develop relatively strongly in the future, and conversely. RSL is used to create balanced long-short portfolios in trading portfolios. For Currency traders, RSL can be used to pick the currency pairs showing the highest strength and weakness. Traders create a portfolio of positions by buying stronger instruments and selling the weaker instruments.
The first step in creating a long-short portfolio is ranking all instruments based on their strength and weakness. Note down the RSL value of each currency pair at the start of the week or month. The pair that has the highest RSL value is the strongest one. The pair that has the lowest RSL value is the weakest one. Now open Buy positions on the top two stronger pairs and open sell positions on top two weaker pairs. Keep the positions open for the next week or month start. At the start of next week or month, again rank the instruments based on their RSL values and adjust the positions. This portfolio is hedged, market neutral and offer steady return over long periods of time.

Kase Peak Oscillator

The Kase Peak Oscillator is made of statistical observation of prices over the last KPeriod. It automatically adapts its cycle to any timeframe or instrument by using a percentile rank of what happens now in comparison of the whole distribution of past values. It consists of a histogram and a line indicating overbought oversold levels.

Buy Signal: Histogram cross above the zero level
Sell Signal: Histogram cross below the zero levels

When histogram reaches the line, chances are a reversal or consolidation may follow. However, in strong trends, the histogram may overshoot the line for may bars before slowing down. This can be used to book profits and open trades if reversal is confirmed by other indicators or price action. Like all indicators, Kase Peak Oscillator also generate whipsaws in consolidating markets.

Divergence between the histogram and price bars present good trading opportunities. When price makes new lows and the oscillator fails to make new lows, it is a divergence between the price and the oscillator. When divergence happens, there is high probability that trend reverse upward. For trend reversal down, price makes new high and oscillator fail to reach a new high.

VolatilityRatio VertexFX Indicator
The VolatilityRatio is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based Volatility and trend reversal.

Volatility is a measure of fast market movements. When volatility increases the markets are moving fast and making big ranges. However, we cannot predict the direction of the market based on the volatility. The VolatilityRatio (VR) determines the direction and the end of the trend thus providing a valuable tool to traders.

When VR is above 1 it indicates a bullish trend, and similarly when VR is below 1 it indicates bearish trend. By waiting for the bullish and bearish trends to top out and bottom out respectively traders can exit at the earliest their LONG and SHORT positions respectively.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) when the Volatility Ratio is RED and bottoms out. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Use short term EMA to ensure that current price is above the EMA.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) when the Volatility Ratio is BLUE and tops out. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High. Use short term EMA to ensure that current price is below the EMA.

Simple Decycler Oscillator VertexFX Indicator


The Simple Decycler Oscillator is a powerful VertexFx client-side indicator that identifies the start and reversal of a trend.

One of the major drawbacks of conventional indicators is that the signals have lag resulting in delayed trade entries. The Simple Decycler Oscillator attempts to reduce the lag by using two oscillators.
The indicator comprises of two components, the fast oscillator identified by the BLUE line and the slow oscillator identified by the RED line. The fast component is calculated using the FAST_PERIOD and the FAST_K co-efficient. Similarly, the slow component is calculated using the SLOW_PERIOD and the SLOW_K co-efficient.
The components are calculated using cycle analysis theory. The strength of the trend is calculated using a high-pass filter over the specified period and smoothed with the smoothing co-efficient (K).
The difference between the BLUE and the RED line indicates the direction of the current trend. When the BLUE line is above the RED line the trend is considered bullish and when it is below the RED line the trend is considered bearish.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of candle when the fast (BLUE) line closes above the slow (RED) line. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of candle when the fast (BLUE) line closes below the slow (RED) line. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High.

MACD OSMAX VertexFX Indicator

is a powerful VertexFX client-side indicator based on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is provides information about the current trend and its strength. When the MACD bottoms out and starts rising it implies the market is in bullish mode, whereas when it tops out and starts falling it implies that the market is in bearish mode. However, one of the drawbacks of the MACD indicator is that it introduces lag and introduces whipsaws when the market turns sideways. The primary reason for the lag is the use of Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the calculation of the MACD.
The MACD OSMAX indicator overcomes the drawbacks of the MACD indicator by using Exponential Moving Average (EMA) instead of SMA. In addition to using the EMA, it also uses a weightage co-efficient OSMAX to give more weightage to the recent signal.
In the first step we calculate the EMA of the PERIOD_FAST and the PERIOD_SLOW. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the slower EMA from the faster EMA. The MACD signal is derived by computing the EMA of the MACD using the PERIOD_SIGNAL. Finally the OSMAX is calculated by subtracting the Signal from the MACD and multiplying it by the OSMAX co-efficient. The OSMAX is plotted as an histogram.
When both the OSMAX and MACD are rising the histogram is plotted BLUE. When both OSMAX and MACD are falling the histogram is plotted RED. The histogram is plotted GRAY when OSMAX and MACD are diverging. When the OSMAX turns BLUE from RED or GRAY it implies that the trend has turned bullish. Likewise, when the OSMAX turns RED from BLUE or GRAY it implies the trend is bearish. It has been studied that OSMAX generates better results when traders enter LONG when OSMAX turns BLUE below the zero level, and enter SHORT when OSMAX turns RED above the zero level.
As compared to the standard MACD, the MACD OSMAX indicator reduces the lag and responds to price movements quickly, thus enabling the trader to enter trades earlier and exit trades before it is too late.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of the candle when the indicator histogram turns BLUE below the zero level either from RED or GRAY. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of the candle when the indicator histogram turns RED above the zero level either from BLUE or GRAY. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High.

CCIinMA VertexFX Indicator


s an innovative VertexFX client-side indicator based on Moving Average and Commodity Channel Index indicators.

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) provides valuable insight of the current trend. However since the CCI is not bounded it tends to generate the signals too early or too late. The CCIinMA indicator overcomes this drawback by using a short period Moving Average (MA).

We calculate the Moving Average based on the MA_PERIOD and the MA_METHOD. The user can choose Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA) or Weighted Moving Average (WMA). In the second step the CCI is calculated based on the CCI period. The CCI_LEVEL_UP defines the bullish breakout level and the CCI_LEVEL_DOWN defines the bearish breakout level. The indicator is plotted BLUE when the CCI is above the CCI_LEVEL_UP and RED when the CCI is below the CCI_LEVEL_DOWN. BLUE color indicates bullish trend, RED indicates a bearish trend.

BUY / EXIT SHORT - Enter LONG (or exit SHORT) at the close of candle when indicator color turns BLUE. The stop-loss can be placed below the nearest Swing Low. Do not place LONG trades if the indicator color is BLUE but the indicator is falling.
SHORT / EXIT LONG - Enter SHORT (or exit LONG) at the close of candle when indicator color turns RED. The stop-loss can be placed above the nearest Swing High. Don not place SHORT trades if the indicator color is RED but the indicator is rising.
