Mayer Multiple + Bollinger Bands: NVDAAs requested by Parabolic Trav, this is an experiment to adapt the Mayer Multiple to other assets displaying parabolic growth trends. It builds upon previous work by using Bollinger Band-style indicators based on the moving average of the multiple as indicator thresholds, rather than simply a value on the Y axis or an addition to the MA as I proposed here . This greatly increases the adaptability of the multiple to assets other than BTC.
As per the above chart, it does seem that the standard deviation lines can function as areas of support and resistance, as the multiple bounces off the lower 2SD in late 2008, and interacts with the upper 1SD multiple times through 2015-2017.

SPYIX EMAVariation on idea at url below using SPYIX from BATS instead of VIX
from marketsci.wordpress.com
Aids in identifying changes in volatility direction.
EDIT: just noticed that URL is now password protected. The concept from the author is simple: use EMA and SMA smoothing of the VIX as two signal lines. When they cross you have a change in VIX direction. I simply coded that for SPYIX which is a slightly different (but theoretically similar) index vs VIX. SPYIX provides intraday updates without a subscription so this indicator can be used for intraday tracking.
Simple RSI-MA Algo Beats DOW By Huge Margin Over Past 100 Years!This simple RSI-MA long/short algorithm beats the Dow by a FREAKING HUGE margin over the past century (excluding dividends and trading costs).
The algorithm uses a fast SMA of the RSI as a buy/cover signal and a slow SMA of the RSI as a sell/short signal.
Backtest period = 09/17/1916 - 11/02/2015
Dow = 98 --> 17,830 = +18,094% = 5.38% CAGR
Algorithm = net profit + open P/L = +43,349% = 6.31% CAGR
Notice how the algorithm dodged both the 30s' Great Depression and the 2008 Crisis. Pretty cool huh? :)
ALGORITHM'S FORMULA (use weekly chart):
Buy/Cover = MA10(RSI10) cross> 50
Sell/Short = MA50(RSI10) cross< 50

Vervoort Heiken Ashi Candlestick OscillatorHeiken-Ashi Candlestick Oscillator (HACO), by Sylvian Vervoort, is a digital oscillator version of the colored candlesticks.
Explanation from Vervoort:
"HACO is not meant to be an automatic trading system, so when there is a buy or sell signal from HACO, make sure it is confirmed by other TA techniques. HACO will certainly aid in signaling buy/sell opportunities and help you hold on to a trade, making it more profitable. The behavior of HACO is closely related to the level and speed of price change. It can be used on charts of any time frame ranging from intraday to monthly."
HACO has 2 configurable length parameters - "UP TEMA length" and "Down TEMA length". Vervoort suggests having them the same value.
I have also added an option to color the bars (overlay mode).

Kaufman Stress IndicatorStress Indicator, first proposed by Mr. Perry Kaufman, provides an easy way for trading pairs / arbs.
Kaufman's trading rules for Stress Indicator:
- Decide on a pair to trade: For ex., AAPL v QQQ
- Calculate the Stress Indicator (SI) for that pair
- Buy the stock when SI 50
- Calculate the 60-day moving average of QQQ
- If the trend of QQQ is down, hedge the stock position with QQQ equal to the risk of the stock using the 20-day ATR of each
- Exit the hedge when the stock position exits, or exit the hedge when the trend of QQQ turns up
- Do not trade stocks under $3
Explanation of all potential SI applications is beyond this post. For more info:

- TASC 2014 March issue.
Though Kaufman's Stress stategy is built on top of this Stress Indicator, I suggest reading up his full strategy guidelines before applying this.
Kaufman suggests using 60SMA on the index to track the slope. I have included a custom SMA (find it in the middle pane) that can show SMA for any selected symbol. Use the guide below to import that in to your charts: drive.google.com
