Advanced Price Direction AlgorithmPrices can go up or down or falter in their movement.
This code evaluates this by looking at two consecutive bars or sets of bars.
If you put the set size to 1, the current and previous bar is evaluated.
If put to 2, the last2 and the 2 before these are evaluated.
Default is 12 because this seems to coincide with trend changes.
This code provides an advanced way to evaluate what the price does in a sort of three-value Boolean with the values up, down or falter.
I use this code in indicators I develop where price direction is taken into account.
The simple output makes it possible to use it as an indicator on its own.

Leavitt Convolution Acceleration [CC]The Leavitt Convolution Slope indicator was created by Jay Leavitt (Stocks and Commodities Oct 2019, page 11), who is most well-known for creating the Volume-Weighted Average Price indicator. This indicator didn't have a good explanation or description so I custom-coded most of it. The way it works is it will give trend spikes in the direction of the underlying trend. If you don't see a spike then it means that the stock isn't trending at the moment. One possible avenue to explore with this indicator is judging the size of the trend spike before you open a position in that direction (or the opposite direction if you are shorting). I added a normalization function using code from a good friend @loxx that I recommend leaving on but feel free to experiment with it. I have color coded the lines to turn light green for a standard buy signal or dark green for a strong buy signal and light red for a standard sell signal, and dark red for a strong sell signal.
This is another indicator in a series that I'm publishing to fulfill a special request from @ashok1961 so let me know if you ever have any special requests for me.
+ Average Candle Bodies RangeACBR, or, Average Candle Bodies Range is a volatility and momentum indicator designed to indicate periods of increasing volatility and/or momentum. The genesis of the idea formed from my pondering what a trend trader is really looking for in terms of a volatility indicator. Most indicators I've come across haven't, in my opinion, done a satisfactory job of highlighting this. I kept thinking about the ATR (I use it for stops and targets) but I realized I didn't care about highs or lows in regards to a candle's volatility or momentum, nor do I care about their relation to a previous close. What really matters to me is candle body expansion. That is all. So, I created this.
ACBR is extremely simple at its heart. I made it more complicated of course, because why would I want anything for myself to be simple? Originally it was envisaged to be a simple volatility indicator highlighting areas of increasing and decreasing volatility. Then I decided some folks might want an indicator that could show this in a directional manner, i.e., an oscillator, so I spent some more hours tackling that
To start, the original version of the indicator simply subtracts opening price from closing price if the candle closes above the open, and subtracts the close from the open if the candle closes below the open. This way we get a positive number that simply measures candle expansion. We then apply a moving average to these values in order to smooth them (if you want). To get an oscillator we always subtract the close from the open, thus when a candle closes below its open we get a negative number.
I've naturally added an optional signal line as a helpful way of gauging volatility because obviously the values themselves may not tell you much. But I've also added something that I call a baseline. You can use this in a few ways, but first let me explain the two options for how the baseline can be calculated. And what do I mean by 'baseline?' I think of it as an area of the indicator where if the ACBR is below you will not want to enter into any trades, and if the ACBR is above then you are free to enter trades based on your system (or you might want to enter in areas of low volatility if your system calls for that). Waddah Attar Explosion is another indicator that implements something similar. The baseline is calculated in two different ways: one of which is making a Donchian Channel of the ACBR, and then using the basis as the baseline, while the other is applying an RMA to the cb_dif, which is the base unit that makes up the ACBR. Now, the basis of a Donchian Channel typically is the average of the highs and the lows. If we did that here we would have a baseline much too high (but maybe not...), however, I've made the divisor user adjustable. In this way you can adjust the height (or I guess you might say 'width' if it's an oscillator) however you like, thus making the indicator more or less sensitive. In the case of using the ACBR as the baseline we apply a multiplier to the values in order to adjust the height. Apologies if I'm being overly verbose. If you want to skip all of this I have tooltips in the settings for all of the inputs that I think need an explanation.
When using the indicator as an oscillator there are baselines above and below the zero line. One funny thing: if using the ACBR as calculation type for the baselines in oscillator mode, the baselines themselves will oscillate around the zero line. There is no way to fix this due to the calculation. That isn't necessarily bad (based on my eyeball test), but I probably wouldn't use it in such a way. But experiment! They could actually be a very fine entry or confirmation indicator. And while I'm on the topic of confirmation indicators, using this indicator as an oscillator naturally makes it a confirmation indicator. It just happens to have a volatility measurement baked into it. It may also be used as an exit and continuation indicator. And speaking of these things, there are optional shapes for indicating when you might want to exit or take a continuation trade. I've added alerts for these things too.
Lastly, oscillator mode is good for identifying divergences.
Above we have the indicator set to directional, or oscillator, mode. Baselines are Donchian Channels. I changed the default EMA length from 4 to 24 in this case, otherwise all the settings are default, as in the main image for the indicator (which is clearly set to non-directional). The indicator is set to requiring an advancing signal line for background and bar colors. Background color is not on by default. Candle colors, as you can see are aqua when above the top baseline (and only when the signal line is advancing, as per the settings), magenta when below the bottom baseline, and grey for anything else. The red and blue X's are exit signals. There are two types: one, when the signal line weakens and, two, when the ACBR crosses above or below the signal line. There are also arrows. These are continuation signals (ACBR crossing signal line).
Same image as above, but the baselines are set to ACBR rather than Donchian Channels.
Again, the same image, but with everything but the ACBR Baseline turned off. You can see how this might make for an excellent confirmation indicator, but for the areas of chap. Maybe run a second instance of the indicator on your chart as a volatility indicator, as you would not be using it in that way in this instance.
Here I have bar coloring turned off except for signal line crosses NOT requiring the signal line to be advancing. Background coloring is also turned on. You can see that these all line up with continuation signals, or exits for purple candles.
Same image as above but requiring the signal line to be advancing. You can see that continuation signals are not contingent upon the signal line to be advancing. I had it setup that way at first, but of course it still gave false signals, so I thought more signals (not that there are many) is better than fewer. To be sure, just because the indicator shows a continuation signal does not mean you should always take it.
GKD-C Normalized Velocity [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Normalized Velocity is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Semi-variance as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Normalized Velocity as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Normalized Velocity
What is Normalized Velocity?
Velocity (which is often called a "smoother momentum" since it is much smoother than momentum without lagging at all) with an addition of ATR normalization
Since velocity is (even when normalization is applied) is not an indicator with fixed bounds, this indicator is uses floating levels for what is usually called overbought and oversold levels (+ a floating "zero" line is added). Something that would look like a "fixed levels" is easily achieved if you use long floating levels period in which case those levels are quite similar to fixed levels.
This indicator can be used like any momentum indicator (in that case recommended coloring mode is to use either slope coloring or "zero" middle level crossing coloring) or it can be used as a "trending" indicator in which case it is better to use coloring on outer level cross, and longer calculation periods are advised in that case.
This indicator has two signal optoins: middle crosses or levels crosses

█ Elegant Oscillator
What is Elegant Oscillator?
John Ehlers' Elegant Oscillator is a technical analysis indicator used in stock trading. The indicator is derived from the inverse Fisher Transform, which is a mathematical method used to transform non-Gaussian data into Gaussian data. The Elegant Oscillator uses a bandpass filter and a triple smoothing technique to filter out market noise and identify cycles.
The indicator oscillates around a zero line, with positive values indicating an uptrend and negative values indicating a downtrend. Traders use the Elegant Oscillator to identify potential market reversals and generate trading signals based on its movement. The Elegant Oscillator is commonly used in combination with other technical analysis tools and strategies to increase the probability of successful trades.

Multiple Standard MomentumMultiple Standard Momentum
The momentum indicator is a technical indicator that measures the speed and strength of the price movement of a financial asset. This indicator is used to identify the underlying strength of a trend and predict potential changes in price direction.
The calculation of the momentum indicator is based on the difference between the current price and the price of a previous period. The result is displayed on a chart, which can be positive or negative, depending on whether the current price is higher or lower than the price of the previous period. The indicator can be used on any time frame, but is generally used on short-term charts.
To use the momentum indicator , you look for two types of signals:
🔹 Crossover Signal – When the indicator crosses the zero line, it can signal a change of direction in the price trend.
🔹 Divergence – When the asset price moves in one direction and the indicator moves in the opposite direction, a divergence can be identified. This divergence may indicate a possible trend reversal.
COMPOSITION AND MODE OF USE OF THE INDICATOR
🔹 This indicator displays multiple Momentum levels on a single chart, allowing you to view multiple Momentum lines. Each level is represented on the chart where it can be hidden or shown as desired for better market analysis.
🔹 In addition, a zero trend line (also known as a horizontal trend line) has been added. The zero trend line is a horizontal line that indicates the point at which the current price equals the opening price, which allows users to draw a custom zero trend line on the chart using different colors and time periods of calculation.
* Highest performing custom setup for the Zero Trend Line. For Operations of:
- One Minute: Trend Line Time Frame = Five Minutes.
- Three Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Fifteen Minutes.
- Five Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Thirty Minutes.
- Fifteen Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Sixty Minutes.
Rules For Trading
🔹 Bullish:
* The Zero Trend Line must be in Green Color.
* When the Momentum Line Crosses the Zero Line from Bottom to Top.
🔹 Bearish:
* The Zero Trend Line must be in Red Color.
* When the Momentum Line Crosses the Zero Line from Top to Bottom.
In addition, parameters were defined to activate or deactivate the graphic signal taking into account the previous requirement (Bullish and Bearish):
🔹 Long or Buy = ▲
🔹 Short or Sell = ▼
This script can be used in different markets such as forex, indices, and cryptocurrencies for analysis and trading. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and traders should always conduct their own research and risk management.
Super 6x: RSI, MACD, Stoch, Loxxer, CCI, & Velocity [Loxx]Super 6x: RSI , MACD , Stoch , Loxxer, CCI , & Velocity is a combination of 6 indicators into one histogram. This includes the option to allow repainting.
What is MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA .
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is RSI?
The relative strength index is a technical indicator used in the analysis of financial markets. It is intended to chart the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or market based on the closing prices of a recent trading period. The indicator should not be confused with relative strength .
What is Stochastic?
The stochastic oscillator, also known as stochastic indicator, is a popular trading indicator that is useful for predicting trend reversals. It also focuses on price momentum and can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels in shares, indices, currencies and many other investment assets.
What is Loxxer?
The Loxxer indicator is a technical analysis tool that compares the most recent maximum and minimum prices to the previous period's equivalent price to measure the demand of the underlying asset.
What is Velocity?
In simple words, velocity is the speed at which something moves in a particular direction. For example as the speed of a car travelling north on a highway, or the speed a rocket travels after launching.

Return Abnormality Score [SpiritualHealer117]The Return Abnormality Score indicator is designed to help traders identify potential reversals in price by detecting abnormal daily returns beyond a certain significance level. The indicator uses a normal cumulative distribution function to calculate the probability of the daily return and flags it when it exceeds the specified significance level.
Traders can use this indicator by monitoring the abnormality score. If the daily return is negative, the probability is multiplied by a negative number. Therefore, if the abnormality score goes above the positive threshold, it suggests that the price is oversold, while if it goes below the negative threshold, it indicates that the price is overbought. It can also be helpful for spotting bear or bull traps due to their irregular behavior.
Depending on the trader's preference, the indicator can be smoothed or unsmoothed.
This indicator should be paired with other technical analysis tools like SSL Hybrid for trend confirmation, and proper risk management strategies.
Ehlers Detrending Filter [CC]The Detrending Filter was created by John Ehlers and this is a complementary indicator to one of my previous scripts:
This indicator builds upon his previous work by attempting to detrend the underlying source data that is used to calculate the final result. He was able to create a leading indicator by removing the trend data and by using his previous calculations to turn the source data into a leading indicator.
There are two ways to understand this indicator. First if the indicator is below the midline then it is in a mid to longterm downtrend and if it is above the midline then it is in a mid to longterm uptrend. Also this indicator shows great promise in predicting future trends so because of that aspect, it may give some false signals from time to time.
I have color coded everything to account for both strong signals and normal signals. Strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Stochastic MACD - Slow and FastStochastic MACD - Slow and Fast
The "Stochastic MACD - Slow and Fast" indicator combines two popular technical indicators, the Stochastic Oscillator and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ).
The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that measures the current closing position of an asset relative to its recent price range. This indicator helps traders identify possible turning points in an asset's trend, it is used to identify if the market is overbought or oversold.
On the other hand, the MACD is an indicator used to identify the trend and strength of the market and shows the difference between two exponential moving averages ( EMA ) of different periods. The MACD is commonly used to determine the direction of an asset's price trend.
The combination of both indicators can help traders identify market entry and exit opportunities. This indicator has two parts: a slow part and a fast part. The slow part uses input values for the lengths of the moving averages and the length of the signal for the MACD indicator. The fast part uses different input values for the lengths of the moving averages. Also, each part has its own set of line colors and histogram colors for easy visualization.
In general, the "Stochastic MACD - Slow and Fast" indicator is used to identify possible turning points in the trend of an asset. Traders can use the indicator to determine when to enter or exit a position based on the signals generated by the indicator. The stochastic MACD is a variation of the regular MACD that incorporates a stochastic oscillator to provide additional signals.
In summary, this indicator can be useful for those looking for a combination of two popular indicators to help identify trading opportunities.
In addition, parameters were defined to activate or deactivate the graphic signal.
When the Stochastic MACD Slow Line Crosses the Stochastic MACD Slow Signal Line:
Long or Buy = ↑ // The Entry is more Effective if it is made when the signal is below the Zero Trend Line .
Short or Sell = ↓ // The Entry is more Effective if it is made when the signal is above the Zero Trend Line .
When the Fast Stochastic MACD Line Crosses the Slow Stochastic MACD Line:
Long or Buy = ▲ // The Entry is more Effective if it is made when the signal is below the Zero Trend Line .
Short or Sell = ▼ // The Entry is more Effective if it is made when the signal is above the Zero Trend Line .
Taking into account the above, alerts were also defined for possible Purchases or Sales or entries in Long or Short.
COPOSITION AND USE OF THE INDICATOR
This script is an implementation of the Stochastic MACD indicator with two variations - Slow and Fast. It uses a combination of the Stochastic Oscillator and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator to identify trend reversals and momentum shifts in the price of an asset.
The Slow version of the Stochastic MACD is built using three inputs - fastLength, slowLength, and signalLength. The fastLength and slowLength are used to calculate two exponential moving averages (EMAs), while the signalLength is used to calculate a signal line as an EMA of the difference between the two EMAs. The Stochastic Oscillator is then applied to the difference between the two EMAs, and the resulting values are plotted on the chart.
The Fast version of the Stochastic MACD is built using the same inputs as the Slow version, but with different values. It uses a shorter fastLength value and a longer slowLength value to generate the two EMAs, and the resulting values are plotted on the chart.
The script also includes inputs for choosing the type of moving average to use (SMA, EMA, etc.), the source of price data (open, close, etc.), the lookback period, and the colors for the lines and histogram bars.
This script can be used in different markets such as forex, indices, and cryptocurrencies for analysis and trading. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and traders should always conduct their own research and risk management.
Faytterro Oscillatorwhat is Faytterro oscillator?
An oscillator that perfectly identifies overbought and oversold zones.
what it does?
this places the price between 0 and 100 perfectly but with a little delay. To eliminate this delay, it predicts the price to come, and the indicator becomes clearer as the probability of its prediction increases.
how it does it?
This indicator is obtained with "faytterro bands", another indicator I designed. For more information about faytterro bands:
A kind of stochastic function is applied to the faytterro bands indicator, and then another transformation formula that I have designed and explained in detail in the link above is applied. These formulas are also applied again to calculate the prediction parts.
how to use it?
Use this indicator to see past overbought and oversold zones and to see future ones.
The input named source is used to change the source of the indicator.
The length serves to change the signal frequency of the indicator.

In the column "2σ" , up arrows indicate that the asset is very overbought , down arrows indicate that an asset is very oversold , and an equals sign indicates that the indicator is neutral.
In the column "σ" , up arrows indicate that the asset is overbought , down arrows indicate that an asset is oversold , and an equals sign indicates that the indicator is neutral.
What indicator is
The indicator shows the exhaustion (percentage gap between the closing price and a moving average) at 5 given lengths, 15, 30, 50, 100, and 300. It compares that to two thresholds for exhaustion: one standard deviation out and one two standard deviations out.
Smart QQE ModSmart QQE - Chart Overlay
Smart QQE shows QQE Trend and RSI plot on chart to determine the trend direction and eliminate false signals.
QQE is obtained from original code by Glaz and rescaled to fit on chart. RSI 50 level acts as Zero which is plotted as a Bollinger on chart.
This is not a Bollinger band . its an RSI channel with levels 0-100 plotted around the mid band. The RSI Mid Band is calculated based on RSI value.
Trend:
Price above RSI Mid band is uptrend
Price below RSI Mid band is Down Trend
The Green line - Discount Zone - 0-RSI level - Oversold Zone
The Red Line - Premium Zone - 100 - RSI level - Overbought Zone
Buy / Sell signals
QQE Buy and Sell signals are plotted based on crossovers of RSI and Fast RSI crossovers.
QQE trend is colored based on the crossover.
Candle color:
candle color determines the Original QQE Trend.
Blue - QQE line above Threshold level in Buy Zone
Pink - QQE line below Threshold level in Sell Zone
Entries are to be made with proper confirmation.
HULL MA is provided as a MA Ribbon for additional confirmation. This MA can be changed to various forms Like EMA , SMA , WMA , HMA , RMA the open and close of the MA are plotted so it determines the exact Trend reversal of the price.

Ehlers Reflex Indicator [CC]The Reflex Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2020) and this is a zero lag indicator that works similar to an overbought/oversold indicator but with the current stock cycle data. I find that this indicator works well as a leading indicator as well as a divergence indicator. Generally speaking, this indicator indicates a medium to long term downtrend when the indicator is below the line and a medium to long term uptrend when the indicator is above the line. Ehlers has created a few complementary indicators that I will release in the next few days but just keep in mind that this indicator focuses on the underlying cycle component while removing as much noise with no lag. I have color coded the lines to show strong signals with the darker colors and normal signals with the lighter colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

GKD-E Rex Oscillator [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Rex Oscillator is an Exit module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility . There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility ; e.g., Average True Range , True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility / Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility / volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility , Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility / Volume , Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility / Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility / Volume . The Volatility / Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Schaff Trend Cycle as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator as shown on the chart above
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Rex Oscillator
What is Rex Oscillator
The Rex oscillator measures market behavior based on the relationship of the close to the open, high and low values of the same bar. A big difference between the high and close on a bar indicates weakness, and wide disparity between the low and close indicates strength. The difference between open and close also indicates market performance. This version adds Donchian-style upper/lower boundaries. These levels allow you take advantage of extreme highs/lows and exit at those values.
Other things to note
The GKD trading system requires that a GKD-V indicator be present in the indicator chain, but the GKD-V indicator doesn't need to be active. You can turn on/off the Volatility Ratio as you wish so you can backtest your trading strategy with the filter on or off.
Additional features will be added in future releases.
Direction Analysis WavesDescription
It is an indicator that aims to provide information about the direction of the trend, the basis of which is the CCI, CMO and MFI indices.
Symbols on the indicator are for informational purposes. Information about colors and symbols is given below.
Blue Wave: Graphical representation of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) curve.
Green/Red Wave: Graphical representation of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) curve. This curve turns green when it rises above zero, and turns red when it falls below zero.
Yellow Wave: Graphical representation of the Money Flow Index (MFI) curve.
Blue Line: CCI line.
Green/Red Cross: CCI line shows green cross on red cross below 0 value.
Warning
As a result, this indicator should be expected to give an idea of the trend direction, not a trading signal.

Ehlers Data Sampling Relative Strength Indicator [CC]The Data Sampling Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Mar 2023) and this is a genius method to reduce noise in the market data but also doesn't introduce any lag while doing so. The way this works is because traditionally, people have always relied on the close price as the default input for many indicators such as the RSI or MACD as examples. Since the open is usually virtually identical to the previous close, it has been ignored by most people but Ehlers discovered that if you do a simple average of open and close for the input on any indicator, you can remove much of the noise without any added lag. I have used the RSI as he did in his example and plotted both to show the difference between the traditional RSI and using Ehlers' process as the new Data Sampling RSI. You can clearly see that this new RSI follows the price fluctuations much closer and is much smoother than the traditional RSI. As usual, I have included different colors to show the strength of the buy or sell signals so darker colors mean it is a very strong signal and lighter colors means it is a normal signal. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Feel free to try out this method to replace the input for any indicator and let me know how this works for you! And of course let me know if you would like me to publish any indicator script.
Energy_Arrows[Salty]This script quantifies the energy in a price move by comparing the relationship of 3 configurable exponential moving averages present on a slightly higher timeframe (chosen automatically based on the charts current period). It uses the closing price by default, but this is also configurable using the Source input. There are a few ways to use the information in this indicator. One is to use the values above zero (colored green) to provide a bullish bias for future price, and values below zero (colored red) indicating a bearish bias for future prices. This bias can be shown to be increasing or decreasing base on the upward or downward slope of the indicator. The green and red arrows can be enabled to show if the bias is strengthening or weakening based on the direction they are pointing. Finally, the height changes in the peaks of the indicator can be used to show divergence in the strength of extreme price moves to show when a pull back or reversal may occur.
Hull OscillatorThis oscillator comprehends two different indicators:
- The first one is a MACD but calculated using the Hull Moving Average.
- The second one is to show the direction in which the Hull Moving Average is going.
Notice that in the first indicator, the histogram is colored as follows:
- If the volume pressure (difference between the volume-weighted moving average and the normal one) is positive both for the short term and the long term, it's green, if negative it's red, and if not is simply gray.
This tool can be used both for:
- Analyze the direction to have a bias to follow
- Analyze the divergences
- Obtain the signal to enter and exit the trade
- Analyze the market strength with volume to confirm the signal

Background
When a wave of market conditions in the cryptocurrency market comes, how do you choose which cryptocurrency target to operate?
Function
The function of this indicator is to compare the strength of a single target with the strength of the crypto market. For any cryptocurrency, if its strength is lower than the rise of the cryptocurrency index, then this target is a manifestation of weakness, and you can short it at this time. On the contrary, if a single target rises higher than the cryptocurrency index, then it may be the leader of this wave of market. Therefore, in a bull market, those indicators that are stronger than the crypto market should be our long-term targets; in a bear market, Those indicators that are weaker than the crypto market are all short-selling targets that we should pay attention to.
Its specific use method is as follows:
1. If the market is in the recovery period at the end of the bear market, the indicator can approach 0 from below 0. Its direction is continuously upward, which means that the target is in a rebound market and can be long. If the rising market continues and can maintain a strong market for a long time, the indicator must be in a strong area above the 0 axis. In the same way, the bear market adopts a strategy below the 0 axis.
2. If you want to achieve a stable transaction, the buying point for long positions must be above the 0 axis, and the selling point for short positions must be below the 0 axis.
3. If the retracement falls below the zero axis in the bull market, it means that it is not a market relay, but a market reversal.
4. This indicator does not provide specific buying and selling points, but can only provide a reference relative to the crypto market. The specific buying and selling points and trends still need to be realized in conjunction with other technical indicators.
I distinguish the trend strength by color, which can be interpreted corresponding to RSI 0-100:
1. Deep Bear 0-20, blue
2. Bearish 20-40, green
3. Shock market 40-60, yellow
5. Bullish 60-80, red
6. Deep Bull Market 80-100, Fuchsia
Remarks
This indicator DOES NOT provide long/short entry points. You need combine other indicators to trade.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
CryptoGraph Entry BuilderA complete system to generate buy & sell signals, based on multiple indicators, timeframes and assets
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟣 How it works
This indicator allows you to create buy & sell signals, based on multiple trigger conditions, placed in one easy to use TradingView indicator to produce alerts, backtest, reduce risk and increase profitability. This script is especially designed to be used with the CryptoGraph Strategizer indicator. Signals produced by this indicator, can be used as external input with the CryptoGraph Strategizer, by adding both indicators to your chart and selecting "External Input" as entry source in the inputs of the Strategizer indicator. From that point on, buy & sell signals generated by the Entry Builder, will be used for backtesting.
Each trigger or filtering condition is selectable and able to be combined using the selection boxes.
Trigger or filter conditions can be used on a different timeframes, and with different assets or coin pairs. Make sure to set higher timeframe filters, to a higher timeframe than your chart timeframe.
🟣 How to use
• Add the indicator to your chart
• Select an indicator you woud like to use for entry analysis. Combine more indicators for more entry filtering
• Configure entry conditions per indicator. It is recommended to add and configure one indicator at a time
• Analyse your buy/sell entries
• Connect to CryptoGraph Strategizer as external input source for backtesting purposes
🟣 Indicator Filters
• ATR :
Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility .
Possible options for ATR entry filtering are an ATR value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ATR crossing your input variable for trade entries.
This enables the possibility to only enter positions when the market has a certain degree of volatility .
• ADX :
The Average Directional Index ( ADX ) helps traders determine the strength of a trend, not its actual direction. It can be used to find out whether the
market is ranging or starting a new trend.
Possible options for ADX entry filtering are an ADX value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ADX crossing your input variable for trade entries.
• OBV :
The On Balance Volume indicator (OBV) is used in technical analysis to measure buying and selling pressure. It is a cumulative indicator meaning that on days where price went up, that day's volume is added to the cumulative OBV total.
Possible options for OBV entry filtering are Regular, Hidden or Regular&Hidden divergences. Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
• Moving Average :
Moving Average (MA) is a price based, lagging (or reactive) indicator that displays the average price of a security over a set period of time. A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance .
Possible options for MA entry filtering are price being above/below Moving Average 1, price crossing up/down Moving Average 1, Moving Average 1 being above/below Moving Average 2 and Moving Average 1 crossing up/down Moving Average 2.
• Supertrend :
Supertrend (ST) is a trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR). The calculation of its single line combines trend detection and volatility . It can be used to detect changes in trend direction and to position stops.
Possible options for ST entry filtering are Supertrend being in upward/downward direction, or Supertrend changing direction.
• RSI :
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
Possible options for RSI entry filtering are RSI being smaller/greater than your input value, or RSI crossing up/down your input value.
• Stochastic RSI :
The Stochastic RSI indicator ( Stoch RSI ) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time.
Possible options for Stoch RSI entry filtering are Stoch RSI crossing below or above your input value.
• VWAP Bands :
Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume . VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices.
We use standard deviations, determined by user input, to create VWAP bands.
Possible options for VWAP long entry filtering are: price being below the lower VWAP band, price crossing back up the lower VWAP band or price crossing down the lower VWAP band.
Possible options for VWAP short entry filtering are: price being above the upper VWAP band, price crossing back down the upper VWAP band, or price crossing up the upper VWAP band.
• Bollinger Bands :
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
Possible options for BB long entry filtering are: price being below the lower Bollinger band , price crossing back up the lower Bollinger band or price crossing down the lower Bollinger band .
Possible options for BB short entry filtering are: price being above the upper Bollinger band , price crossing back down the upper Bollinger band , or price crossing up the upper Bollinger band .
• WaveTrend :
WaveTrend (WT) is a smoothed momentum oscillator which enables it to detect true reversals in an accurate manner.
Possible options for WT entry filtering are: Green/red dots below or above a certain WaveTrend value, Regular Divergence, Hidden Divergence and Regular&Hidden Divergence.

█ Waddah Attar Explosion (WAE)
What is Waddah Attar Explosion (WAE)
Waddah Attar Explosion (WAE) Backtest is a momentum strategy that accounts for volatility in the market. It is the combination of MACD and Bollinger Bands with volatility cutoffs to determine entry and exit points. This version of WAE also includes a non-lag MACD option.
Other things to note
The GKD trading system requires that a GKD-V indicator be present in the indicator chain, but the GKD-V indicator doesn't need to be active. You can turn on/off the Volatility Ratio as you wish so you can backtest your trading strategy with the filter on or off.
Additional features will be added in future releases.
VWAP filtered MACD Bars with positive MACD histogram value and closing above VWAP are colored, long positions should be taken in areas made of those bars.
Similarly, bars with negative MACD histogram value and closing below VWAP are also colored, short positions should be taken there.
This indicator by default should be a part of your trend following trading system.
In the setting you can change colors
Above grow: positive and rising MACD histogram value
Above fall: positive and falling MACD histogram value
Below fall: negative and falling MACD histogram value
Below grow: negative and rising MACD histogram value
