MOM HEATThe "MOM HEAT" indicator combines MACD, Stochastic, MFI, and RSI to create a heat map of market momentum.
It calculates wave values based on these indicators for four different timeframes.
The wave values are then normalized and combined to determine overall momentum.
The indicator plots squares on the chart to represent the wave values for each timeframe.
It also draws a line to indicate potential momentum shifts.
Additionally, a table displays the timeframes and their corresponding colors (lib kaigouthro/hsvColor/15).
Overall, the indicator provides a visual representation of market momentum and potential shifts.

MACD Normalized [ChartPrime]Overview of MACD Normalized Indicator
The MACD Normalized indicator, serves as an asset for traders seeking to harness the power of the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) combined with the advantages of the stochastic oscillator. This novel indicator introduces a normalized MACD, offering a potentially enhanced flexibility and adaptability to numerous market conditions and trading techniques.
This indicator stands out by normalizing the MACD to its average high and average low, also factoring in the deviation of the high-low position from the mean. This approach incorporates the high and low in the calculations, providing the benefits of stochastic without its common drawbacks, such as clipping problems. As a result, the indicator becomes exceptionally versatile and suitable for various trading strategies, including both faster and slower settings.
The MACD Normalized Indicator boasts a variety of options and settings. The features include:
Enable Ribbon: Toggle the display of the ribbon accompanying the MACD Normalized, as desired.
Fast Length: Determine the movement speed of the fast line to receive advance notice of potential market opportunities.
Slow Length: Control the movement pace of the slow line for smoother signals and a comprehensive outlook on market trends.
Average Length: Specify the length used to calculate the high and low averages, providing greater control over the indicator's granularity.
Upper Deviation: Establish the extent to which the high and low values deviate from the mean, ensuring adaptability to diverse market situations.
Inner Band (Middle Deviation): Adjust the balance between the high and low deviations to create an inner band signal, giving traders a secondary level of market analysis and decision-making support.
Enable Candle Color: Enable the coloring of candles based on the MACD Normalized value for effortless visualization of trading potential.
Use Cases for the MACD Normalized Indicator
In addition to analyzing market trends and identifying potential trading opportunities, ChartPrime's MACD Normalized Indicator offers a range of applications for traders. These use cases encompass distinct trading scenarios and strategies:
Overbought and Oversold Regions
One of the key applications of the MACD Normalized Indicator is identifying overbought and oversold regions. Overbought refers to a situation where an asset's price has risen significantly and is expected to face a downturn, while oversold indicates a price drop that may subsequently lead to a reversal.
By adjusting the indicator's parameters, such as the upper and inner deviation levels, traders can set precise boundaries to determine overbought and oversold areas. When the MACD moves into the upper region, it may signal that the asset is overbought and due for a price correction. Conversely, if the MACD enters the lower region, it possibly indicates an oversold condition with the potential for a price rebound.
Signal Line Crossovers
The MACD Normalized Indicator displays two lines: the fast line and the slow line (inner band). A common trading strategy involves observing the intersection of these two lines, known as a crossover. When the fast line crosses above the slow line, it may signify a bullish trend or a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, a crossover with the fast line moving below the slow line typically indicates a bearish trend or a selling opportunity.
Divergence and Convergence
Divergence occurs when the price movement of an asset does not align with the corresponding MACD values. If the price establishes a new high while the MACD fails to do the same, a bearish divergence emerges, suggesting a potential downtrend. Similarly, a bullish divergence takes place when the price forms a new low but the MACD does not follow suit, hinting at an upcoming uptrend.
Convergence, on the other hand, is represented by the MACD lines moving closer together. This movement signifies a potential change in the trend, providing traders with a timely opportunity to enter or exit the market.
TTP VIX SpyTTP VIX Spy is an indicator that uses data from TVC:VIX to better time entries in the market.
The assumption used is that when the VIX is coming down from the top of its range then the risk on assets can move to the upside and when the VIX is is pushing higher there's a high likelihood or risk on assets going down.
This indicator observes the momentum of VIX using MACD. It offers two different signals both for longs and shorts: signal 1 and 2.
Signal 1 is activate when the begging of a new trend for the VIX is confirmed.
Signal 2 is activated when the VIX pulls back from an extreme value.
You can configure the parameters of the internal super trend and the look back for the slope applied to price and RSIs.
The indicator offers the following filter parameters:
- Price RSI slope: it filters signals that have RSI slope pointing in the opposite direction of the signal.
- Counter trend: it filters signals that are not counter trending super trend.
- Wide BBW: it filters signals that happen when there hasn't been high price volatility
- Price slope: it filters signals when the price is not pointing in the direction of the signal (buy: up, sell: down)
- VIX RSI filter: it filters VIX RSI values overextended. MACD can be in the right range, but sometimes RSI contradicts it. By default is OFF since it can cause false negatives.
- Working days only: it filters signals that occur in the weekend.
The colours below the price action show how the VIX momentum is changing. Transitions from red into pink and then green show how the fear is fading which tends to lead to lead to bullish moves, and the opposite when the transitions are from green to red.
Performance and initial thoughts.
I have tried VIX Spy on both BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P and BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P and it seems to offer a decent win ratio. As you can see I had to add many filter to remove bad entries and left toggles available to decide which ones you want to use.
I tried the signal in the 4H, 1H and 15min with mixed results. I tend to incline for the results in the 1H.
VIX signal offers a backtestable stream and alerts both for signals 1 and 2.
Pearson's R Convergence DivergenceThis script calculates the convergence divergence and breakouts from the deviations for a fast and slow linear regression slope.
This can be used to predict major market moves before they happen.
For users familiar with MacD, the blue line is similar to the MacD line and the orange line the signal.
The difference is this is not a moving average comparison but a comparison between Pearson's R values.
-0.1 (positive direction)
0.1 (negative direction)
This is why the colors look inverse for a typical MacD.
How to use this:
The idea is that when both trends converge in the 0.8 or -0.8 range and you see a breakout cross occur on either line then the price has a high likelihood of reversing its current trend.
If you see a green cross it means the top of the linear regression for the 'fast' or 'slow' linear regression deviation was broken by the current price. This can signify that upward movement is coming soon.
On the flip side a red cross means the bottom of the linear regression for the 'fast' or 'slow' linear regression deviation was broken by the current price. This can signify that downward movement is coming soon.
These crosses mean a lot more if the pearson's R value is already maxed out near 0.8 or -0.8.
This indicator works because the more sure a trend becomes the more likely it is to break as more traders see the pattern.
The histogram colors do not mean much being 'red' or 'green', what you want to look for is when the histogram starts to approach the 0 mark. This signifies that both linear regression trends are about to reach their peak before reversing trend. So don't confuse this with how you might read the MacD even though it looks very similar. The histogram sloping towards the 0 line will give you a clue how long it might take before the reversal occurs .

MACD-AS MTF [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This script is a modification of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) of Thomas Aspray, and called as MACD-AS and you may get earlier signals than MACD.
On this (my version) you have several extra elements and customization.
Foremost (of course) you have the MACD-AS, which is the HISTOGRAM, also, it has a SIGNAL line (which smooths the MACD-AS), and finally, a higher timeframe oscillator based on one of the previous values (custom).
- Visuals, features, customization:
You can show/hide any of the components with a checkbox (MACD-AS, Signal and HTF Oscillator).
The timeframe for the higher timeframe oscillator is customizable, but by default is automatic and multiplies the chart timeframe by 3: 5m > 15m, 15m > 45m etc.
So we have the MACD-AS as a histogram, with 2 optional color schemes and custom transparency, it works similar to the original MACD, oscillating around the 0 level. Green colors (bull) if above 0, red (bear) below 0.
Smoothed MACD-AS makes the Signal line, going up (bull) shows green color, down (bear) red, changes from one to another also prints a colored dot. There's another feature which darkens the color when the momentum is losing strength, a strength filter input is available for that purpose but the default 0.5 works well.
The higher timeframe oscillator (it's called "oscillator" because you can pick if you want to show the MACD-AS or Signal line of the higher timeframe), is always shown as a line, colors work similar to the Signal line, but BLUE for bull and PINK for bear.
Finally, the background color just changes from green (bull) to red (bear) and vice versa if the Signal line is above or below the 0 line to show bull/bear trend too, this is slower than other indicator signals as well.
- Usage and recommendations:
You can use this script as default MACD, the difference is that you'll use the DOTs of the Signal line (when changing green to red and vice versa) as crossovers on the classic MACD.
You can also use the higher timeframe oscillator as a trend filter to not to trade against it, ex: if the HTF is bull, don't try to SHORT.
My favorite usage is to find DIVERGENCES with the MACD-AS (histogram) with the HTF MACD-AS histogram as well, having 2 confirmations, ex: 5m divergence + 15m divergence.
As always, suggestions are welcome.
Enjoy!

- Descripción:
Este script es una modificación del Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) de Thomas Aspray, y llamado como MACD-AS, se pueden obtener señales más tempranas que con el MACD.
En ésta (mi versión) tiene varios elementos adicionales y personalización.
En primer lugar (por supuesto) tienes el MACD-AS, que es el HISTOGRAMA, también, tiene una línea de SEÑAL (que suaviza el MACD-AS), y por último, un oscilador de marco de tiempo superior basado en uno de los valores anteriores (personalizado).
- Visuales, características, personalización:
Puedes mostrar/ocultar cualquiera de los componentes con un checkbox (MACD-AS, Señal y Oscilador HTF).
La temporalidad para el oscilador HTF es personalizable, pero por defecto es automático y multiplica la temporalidad del gráfico por 3: 5m > 15m, 15m > 45m etc.
El MACD-AS (histograma), con 2 esquemas de color opcionales y transparencia personalizada, funciona de forma similar al MACD original, oscilando alrededor del nivel 0. Colores verdes (alcista) si está por encima de 0, rojo (bajista) por debajo de 0.
El suavizado del MACD-AS hace la línea de señal, subiendo (alcista) muestra color verde, bajando (bajista) rojo, cambios de uno a otro también imprime un punto de color. Hay otra característica que oscurece el color cuando el impulso está perdiendo fuerza, una entrada de filtro de fuerza está disponible para ese propósito, pero el valor predeterminado 0,5 funciona bien.
El oscilador de temporalidad superior (se llama "oscilador" porque puedes elegir si quieres mostrar el MACD-AS o la línea de señal), siempre se muestra como una línea, los colores funcionan de forma similar a la línea de señal, pero AZUL para alcista y ROSA para bajista.
Por último, el color de fondo sólo cambia de verde (alcista) a rojo (bajista) y viceversa si la línea de señal está por encima o por debajo de la línea 0 para mostrar la tendencia alcista / bajista también, eso si, resulta más lento que otros avisos del indicador.
- Uso y recomendaciones:
Puedes usar este script como el MACD clásico, la diferencia es que usarán los PUNTOS de la línea de Señal (cuando cambie de verde a rojo y viceversa) como cruces en el MACD clásico.
También puedes usar el oscilador de mayor temporalidad como filtro de tendencia para no operar en contra de ella, ej: si el HTF es alcista, no intentes SHORTs.
Mi uso favorito es encontrar DIVERGENCIAS con el MACD-AS (histograma) y el HTF MACD-AS, teniendo 2 confirmaciones, ej: 5m divergencia + 15m divergencia.
Como siempre, las sugerencias son bienvenidas.
¡Que lo disfrutéis!
Color Changing MACDJapanese below / 日本語説明は下記
This indicator shows MACD with its colors changing based on trend strength.
The purpose of this indicator is to visually understand phases of trends, which are beginning, advancing and ending, measuring the range between MACD line and signal line.
Since MACD is originated from moving average, the range between MACD line and signal line gradually expands as trends progress while the range gets narrowed as trends come closer to the end. The indicator visualizes this characteristics.
The colors change as follows:
Green: In bullish trend, the range between MACD and signal gets expanded from previous candle, which indicates up trends continue
Purple: The range between MACD and signal gets narrowed from previous candle, which indicates trends gradually come to end.
Red: In bearish trend, the range between MACD and signal gets expanded from previous candle, which indicates down trends continue
See the chart below.
Features
Coloring

RSI, SRSI, MACD and DMI cross - Open source codeHello,
I'm a passionate trader who has spent years studying technical analysis and exploring different trading strategies. Through my research, I've come to realize that certain indicators are essential tools for conducting accurate market analysis and identifying profitable trading opportunities. In particular, I've found that the RSI, SRSI, MACD cross, and Di cross indicators are crucial for my trading success.
Detailed explanation:
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. It is calculated by comparing the average of gains and losses over a certain period of time. In this indicator, the RSI is calculated based on the close price with a length of 14 periods.
The Stochastic RSI is a combination of the Stochastic Oscillator and the RSI. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions of the market. In this indicator, the Stochastic RSI is calculated based on the RSI with a length of 14 periods.
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. It consists of two lines, the MACD line and the signal line, which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the MACD is calculated based on the close price with fast and slow lengths of 12 and 26 periods, respectively, and a signal length of 9 periods.
The DMI is a trend-following indicator that measures the strength of directional movement in the market. It consists of three lines, the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI), the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the Average Directional Index (ADX), which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the DMI is calculated with a length of 14 periods and an ADX smoothing of 14 periods.
The indicator generates buy signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators.
1) For the RSI, a buy signal is generated when the RSI is below or equal to 35 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15, or when the RSI is below or equal to 28 the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15 or when the RSI is below or equal to 25 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 10 or when the RSI is below or equal to 28.
2) For the MACD, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than 0.
3) For the DMI, a buy signal is generated when the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) crosses above the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the -DI is less than the +DI.
The indicator generates sell signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators:
1) For the RSI, a sell signal is generated when the RSI is above or equal to 75 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 80 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 85 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 90 or when the RSI is above or equal to 82.
2)For the MACD, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line is above 0, there is a change in the histogram from positive to negative, the MACD line and histogram are positive in the previous period, and the current histogram value is less than the previous histogram value. On the other hand, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than the previous histogram value.
3)For the DMI a bearish signal is generated when plusDI crosses above minusDI, indicating that bulls are losing strength and bears are taking control.
The indicator uses a combination of these four indicators to generate potential buy and sell signals. The buy signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in oversold conditions, while sell signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in overbought conditions. The indicator also uses MACD crossovers and DMI crossovers to generate additional buy and sell signals.
When a signal is strong?
The use of multiple signals within a specific timeframe can increase the accuracy and reliability of the signals generated by this indicator. It is recommended to look for at least two signals within a range of 5-8 candles in order to increase the probability of a successful trade.
Why it's original?
1) There is no indicator in the library that combine all of these indicators and give you a 360 view
2)The combination of the RSI, Stochastic RSI, MACD, and DMI indicators in a single script it's unique and not available in the libray.
3)The specific parameters and conditions used to calculate the signals may be unique and not found in other scripts or libraries.
4)The use of plotshape() to plot the signals as shapes on the chart may be unique compared to other scripts that simply plot lines or bars to indicate signals.
5)The use of alertcondition() to trigger alerts based on the signals may be unique compared to other scripts that do not have custom alert functionality.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

Your engagement will not only help me improve this tool but will also help other traders discover it and benefit from its features. Thank you for your support!
MACD TrueLevel StrategyThis strategy uses the MACD indicator to determine buy and sell signals. In addition, the strategy employs the use of "TrueLevel Bands," which are essentially envelope bands that are calculated based on the linear regression and standard deviation of the price data over various lengths.
The TrueLevel Bands are calculated for 14 different lengths and are plotted on the chart as lines. The bands are filled with a specified color to make them more visible. The highest upper band and lowest lower band values are stored in variables for easy access.
The user can input the lengths for the TrueLevel Bands and adjust the multiplier for the standard deviation. They can also select the bands they want to use for entry and exit, and enable long and short positions.
The entry conditions for a long position are either a crossover of the MACD line over the signal line or a crossover of the price over the selected entry lower band. The entry conditions for a short position are either a crossunder of the MACD line under the signal line or a crossunder of the price under the selected exit upper band.
The exit conditions for both long and short positions are not specified in the code and are left to the user to define.
Overall, the strategy aims to capture trends by entering long or short positions based on the MACD and TrueLevel Bands, and exiting those positions when the trend reverses.

MACD Chebyshev (CMACD)Introducing the Advanced MACD Chebyshev Indicator
Enhanced Convergence Divergence with Gate Compressor for Improved Trading Signals
Introduction
We are excited to introduce a new, advanced Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator that we've developed, called the MACD Chebyshev (CMACD). This innovative indicator uses the dominant period to determine the frequency of the band pass and employs a delayed version of the signal for better convergence divergence. To further enhance the quality of the signals, we've incorporated a gate compressor in the histogram. In this blog post, we will provide an extensive overview of the CMACD indicator, detailing its features and explaining how it works.
The MACD Chebyshev Indicator
The CMACD indicator is based on the well-known MACD indicator, which is a popular technical analysis tool for identifying potential trend reversals in financial markets. The MACD indicator calculates the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and plots a histogram to represent the convergence and divergence between these EMAs. The CMACD indicator builds on this concept by using the Chebyshev Type I and Type II Moving Averages, which offer superior smoothing and reduced lag compared to traditional EMAs.
The main components of the CMACD indicator are:
1. Signal Line (Blue Line)
2. Delay Line (Orange Line)
3. Histogram (Green and Red bars)
4. Zero Line (Gray Line)
The indicator calculates the difference between the two Chebyshev Moving Averages and plots the histogram based on this difference. The histogram bars change color depending on whether they are above or below the zero line and whether they are growing or falling.
Custom Functions and Features
The CMACD indicator includes several custom functions and features that set it apart from the standard MACD indicator:
1. Dominant Period: The CMACD indicator uses the dominant period to determine the frequency of the band pass. This ensures that the indicator is more responsive to the current market conditions, as it adapts to the dominant cycle in the price data.
2. Delayed Signal: The CMACD indicator employs a delayed version of the signal to provide better convergence divergence. This helps to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the indicator.
3. Ripple: The Ripple parameter allows users to adjust the smoothing factor of the Chebyshev Moving Averages. This can be customized to suit individual trading preferences and strategies.
4. Gate Compressor: The CMACD indicator incorporates a gate compressor in the histogram. This unique feature allows users to specify a Percent Rank for the gate signal level, a Gate Ratio, and a Knee Type (either "hard" or "soft"). The gate compressor works by reducing the amplitude of the histogram bars when their absolute value is below the specified threshold. This helps to filter out noise and improve the clarity of the signals generated by the indicator.
Color Scheme
The CMACD indicator features an intuitive color scheme for easy interpretation of the histogram:
1. Green Bars (Above Zero Line): The histogram bars are green when they are above the zero line. The darker green color indicates a growing bar, while the lighter green color represents a falling bar.
2. Red Bars (Below Zero Line): The histogram bars are red when they are below the zero line. The darker red color indicates a growing bar, while the lighter red color represents a falling bar.
Conclusion
The MACD Chebyshev (CMACD) indicator is an innovative and powerful tool for technical analysis, offering superior performance compared to the standard MACD indicator. With its advanced features, such as the dominant period, delayed signal, ripple adjustment, and gate compressor, the CMACD indicator provides more accurate and reliable trading signals. Incorporate the CMACD indicator into your trading strategy today and experience the enhanced convergence divergence for better trading decisions.

RBX - OBV MACDOBV (On-Balance Volume) is a technical indicator that measures the momentum of buying and selling pressure in a market based on the volume of trades. It uses a cumulative total of volume traded during periods of price increases and decreases to determine the overall trend. When prices rise, OBV increases, and when prices fall, OBV decreases.
The enhanced version of OBV combines the traditional OBV formula with the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator to provide more information about the momentum of the volume flow. The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of price.
In the enhanced OBV with MACD, the top color in the OBV line indicates the quadrant of the MACD, with green indicating the first quadrant (positive value of MACD and increasing), red indicating the second quadrant (negative value of MACD and decreasing), magenta indicating the third quadrant (negative value of MACD and increasing), and cyan indicating the fourth quadrant (positive value of MACD and decreasing).
The top bar color in the enhanced OBV with MACD indicates the increasing or decreasing of the MACD histogram. A green bar indicates an increasing histogram, while a red bar indicates a decreasing histogram.
In addition, the plus bar sign in the enhanced OBV with MACD signifies that the OBV is making a new high or new low. This helps traders identify potential trend reversals or confirm the current trend.
Overall, the enhanced OBV with MACD provides traders with more information about the momentum of volume flow and potential trend reversals, making it a useful tool for technical analysis in trading.

GKD-C Smoother Momentum MACD w/ dual DSL [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Smoother Momentum MACD w/ dual DSL is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Smoother Momentum MACD w/ dual DSL
What is Smoother Momentum?
Smoother Momentum is a technical indicator used to evaluate the momentum of financial assets over a specific period. It is a popular tool among traders and analysts as it helps filter out noise from the price data and provides a clearer understanding of the underlying trend. The code snippet provided is a function, smmom(), that calculates the Smoother Momentum using a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). In the following, we will delve into the concept of Smoother Momentum, its formulation, and the rationale behind the calculations.
Smoother Momentum Formula:
The Smoother Momentum calculation involves three EMAs with different smoothing factors. The function smmom() takes two input parameters: src, which represents the source data (such as price), and per, which represents the period for smoothing.
smmom(float src, float per)=>
float alphareg = 2.0 / (1.0 + per)
float alphadbl = 2.0 / (1.0 + math.sqrt(per))
float ema = src
float ema21 = src
float ema22 = src
if bar_index > 0
ema := nz(ema ) + alphareg * (src - nz(ema ))
ema21 := nz(ema21 ) + alphadbl * (src - nz(ema21 ))
ema22 := nz(ema22 ) + alphadbl * (ema21 - nz(ema22 ))
float out = (ema22 - ema)
out
The smoothing factors for the three EMAs are as follows:
alphareg = 2.0 / (1.0 + per)
alphadbl = 2.0 / (1.0 + sqrt(per))
These factors determine the degree of smoothing applied to the input data. The alphareg factor provides regular smoothing, while the alphadbl factor introduces a double smoothing effect.
The three EMAs are calculated as follows:
ema = src
ema21 = src
ema22 = src
For each bar index greater than zero, the EMAs are updated using the following formulas:
ema := nz(ema ) + alphareg * (src - nz(ema ))
ema21 := nz(ema21 ) + alphadbl * (src - nz(ema21 ))
ema22 := nz(ema22 ) + alphadbl * (ema21 - nz(ema22 ))
The Smoother Momentum (out) is then calculated as the difference between ema22 and ema:
out = (ema22 - ema)
Rationale Behind Smoother Momentum:
The Smoother Momentum indicator is designed to provide a refined view of an asset's momentum by employing multiple levels of smoothing. By incorporating the regular EMA (ema) and the double smoothed EMAs (ema21 and ema22), the indicator minimizes the impact of price fluctuations, resulting in a smoother momentum line.
The use of different smoothing factors allows the indicator to capture both short-term and long-term price movements, making it a valuable tool for various trading strategies. The Smoother Momentum provides traders with a better understanding of the underlying trend and helps them identify potential entry and exit points.
Smoother Momentum is a powerful technical indicator that offers valuable insights into an asset's momentum by leveraging a combination of Exponential Moving Averages with different smoothing factors. The smmom() function is an efficient implementation of the Smoother Momentum indicator, providing traders and analysts with a clear and concise view of the asset's underlying trend. By incorporating this indicator into their trading strategies, market participants can make more informed decisions and improve their overall performance.
What is the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a widely-used technical indicator that measures the relationship between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of an asset's price. Developed by Gerald Appel in the 1970s, the MACD is employed by traders and analysts to identify trend reversals, bullish or bearish momentum, and potential entry or exit points in the market. This following will provide an in-depth understanding of the MACD, its formulation, and the rationale behind its calculations.
MACD Formula:
The MACD is derived from two Exponential Moving Averages of different periods, usually 12 and 26. The MACD line is calculated as the difference between the short-term (12-period) EMA and the long-term (26-period) EMA. Alongside the MACD line, a signal line, typically a 9-period EMA of the MACD line, is calculated. The interaction between the MACD line and the signal line forms the basis for generating trading signals.
Here are the formulas for calculating the MACD components:
1. Short-term EMA (12-period): EMA_short = EMA(price, 12)
2. Long-term EMA (26-period): EMA_long = EMA(price, 26)
3. MACD Line: MACD = EMA_short - EMA_long
4. Signal Line (9-period EMA of MACD): Signal = EMA(MACD, 9)
5. Additionally, the MACD Histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, visualizing the degree of separation between the two lines.
MACD Histogram: Histogram = MACD - Signal
Rationale Behind MACD:
The MACD indicator is based on the principle that moving averages can provide insights into an asset's trend and momentum. By calculating the difference between two EMAs of different periods, the MACD line oscillates around the zero line, capturing the underlying trend and momentum of the asset. When the short-term EMA is above the long-term EMA, the MACD line is positive, indicating bullish momentum. Conversely, when the short-term EMA is below the long-term EMA, the MACD line is negative, signifying bearish momentum.
The signal line, a 9-period EMA of the MACD line, serves as a smoothing factor and a trigger for trading signals. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it generates a bullish signal, suggesting a potential buying opportunity. On the other hand, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it produces a bearish signal, indicating a possible selling opportunity.
The MACD Histogram visualizes the divergence between the MACD line and the signal line, helping traders assess the strength of the trend and the momentum. A widening histogram signifies an increasing divergence between the two lines, indicating stronger momentum, while a narrowing histogram denotes decreasing divergence, suggesting weakening momentum.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a powerful and versatile technical indicator that offers valuable insights into an asset's trend and momentum. By examining the interactions between the MACD line, the signal line, and the MACD Histogram, traders can identify potential trend reversals, bullish or bearish momentum, and entry or exit points in the market. The MACD's effectiveness in various market conditions and its compatibility with different trading strategies make it an indispensable tool for market participants seeking to make well-informed decisions and enhance their overall performance.
What is a Discontinued Signal Line (DSL)?
Many indicators employ signal lines to more easily identify trends or desired states of the indicator. The concept of a signal line is straightforward: by comparing a value to its smoothed, slightly lagging state, one can determine the current momentum or state.
The Discontinued Signal Line builds on this fundamental idea by extending it: rather than having a single signal line, multiple lines are used based on the indicator's current value.
The "signal" line is calculated as follows:
When a specific level is crossed in the desired direction, the EMA of that value is calculated for the intended signal line.
When that level is crossed in the opposite direction, the previous "signal" line value is "inherited," becoming a sort of level.
This approach combines signal lines and levels, aiming to integrate the advantages of both methods.
In essence, DSL enhances the signal line concept by inheriting the previous signal line's value and converting it into a level.
You can select between anchored and unanchored DSL, as well as utilize zero-line crosses without DSL.
What is the Smoother Momentum MACD w/ dual DSL?
This indicator uses the Smoother Momentum algorithm to calculate a MACD. Signals are created by middle crosses, signal crosses, or DSL crosses.

Core components of 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
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
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
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Smoother Momentum MACD w/ dual DSL 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.

Moonhub Cycle IndexMoonhub Cycle Index is a composite index derived from three popular technical analysis indicators: Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Schaff Trend Cycle (STC), and Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO). The indicator is designed to help identify potential trends and market sentiment by combining the unique characteristics of each indicator.
Key components of the indicator include:
Input Parameters:
COEMA Length (len_DIema): The length of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to the Custom Index. Default is set to 9.
COSMA Length (len_DIsma): The length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) applied to the Custom Index. Default is set to 30.
Indicators:
MACD: A momentum oscillator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. It is calculated using the difference between the 12-period and 26-period EMA, and a 9-period EMA (signal line) of the MACD.
STC: A cyclic indicator that identifies cyclical trends in the market. It is calculated using the Stochastic oscillator formula applied to the close, high, and low prices over a 10-period lookback window.
DPO: A price oscillator that eliminates the trend from price data to focus on underlying cycles. It is calculated using a custom function that shifts the price by half the length and subtracts the SMA from the shifted price.
Custom Index: The composite index is calculated by taking the average of the MACD line, STC, and DPO.
COEMA and COSMA: Exponential and Simple Moving Averages applied to the Custom Index using the lengths specified by the input parameters (len_DIema and len_DIsma).
Plots: The Custom Index, COEMA, and COSMA are plotted with different colors and line widths to visualize their interaction and provide insights into potential market trends.
This Custom Index Indicator can be useful for traders who want to analyze the market using a combination of these indicators to make more informed decisions. It can also help identify potential trends and market sentiment by combining the unique characteristics of each indicator.
GKD-C Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD 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 the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of 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
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
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
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD 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.

█ GKD-C Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD
What is the Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD?
The Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) is a lesser-known type of moving average in the field of technical analysis. It is designed to reduce lag and improve the responsiveness of moving averages. The name "Nyquist" likely originates from the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which states that a continuous-time signal can be accurately reconstructed from its discrete samples if the sampling rate is at least twice the highest frequency component of the original signal. The NMA tries to apply this concept to moving averages by reducing the time lag and improving the signal's fidelity to the underlying price movement.
The Nyquist Moving Average is calculated using a primary period (nper) and a secondary period (smper). A lambda value is determined by the ratio of nper to smper, and if lambda is less than 2, it is adjusted to meet the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem's requirements. Then, an alpha value is calculated using lambda and nper. Two moving averages are calculated using the specified type (e.g., simple, exponential, etc.), source data, and the primary and secondary periods. The final NMA is obtained using the alpha value and the two moving averages.
While the NMA is not as popular or widely used as other types of moving averages, like the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), it can still be a valuable tool for technical analysts and traders looking for a more responsive moving average with reduced lag.
As with any technical indicator, it is essential to use the Nyquist Moving Average in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods to maximize its effectiveness and reduce the risk of false signals.
What is the MACD?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a widely used technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. The MACD is a momentum oscillator that helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, and duration of a market trend. It is calculated using exponential moving averages (EMAs) and can provide buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the MACD line, the signal line, and the MACD histogram.
The MACD consists of three components:
1. MACD Line: The MACD line is calculated by subtracting a longer-period EMA from a shorter-period EMA. Typically, a 26-day EMA is subtracted from a 12-day EMA. The resulting line represents the difference between the two EMAs and highlights the momentum of the underlying asset.
2. Signal Line: The signal line is a 9-day EMA of the MACD line. It is used to smooth out the fluctuations of the MACD line and generate trading signals based on crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line.
3. MACD Histogram: The MACD histogram is a visual representation of the difference between the MACD line and the signal line. It is plotted as vertical bars above or below the zero line, with bars above the zero line indicating positive momentum and bars below the zero line indicating negative momentum.
The MACD generates trading signals based on the interaction between the MACD line, the signal line, and the MACD histogram:
1. Bullish Crossover: A buy signal is generated when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating that the short-term momentum is stronger than the long-term momentum and suggesting a potential upward move in the asset's price.
2. Bearish Crossover: A sell signal is generated when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating that the short-term momentum is weaker than the long-term momentum and suggesting a potential downward move in the asset's price.
3. Histogram Divergence: The MACD histogram can also provide signals based on divergences between the histogram and the asset's price. A bullish divergence occurs when the asset's price forms a lower low while the histogram forms a higher low, suggesting a potential reversal to the upside. A bearish divergence occurs when the asset's price forms a higher high while the histogram forms a lower high, suggesting a potential reversal to the downside.
It is essential to use the MACD in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and methods to increase the reliability of the signals and reduce the risk of false signals. Additionally, the MACD is a lagging indicator, meaning it is based on historical data and may not always provide timely signals.
What is the Nyquist Moving Average (NMA) MACD
This indicator uses the Nyquist Moving averge in the MACD caculation instead of the typical EMA.

Know the trend - KTT---------- ENGLISH -----------
This indicator combines the values of four common indicators (MACD, MACD signal, normalized RSI and linear regression) to provide a unified view of the market trend. The indicator calculates the average of the rescaled values of these four indicators and plots it on the chart as a line that changes color based on its position relative to 0. If the line is above 0, it is colored black to indicate a bullish trend. If the line is below 0, it is colored red to indicate a bearish trend. The user can enter a value for the length of the indicator to customize the time period used for calculating the underlying indicators. The indicator works on any time frame.
---------- ITALIANO -----------
Questo indicatore combina i valori di quattro indicatori comuni (MACD, segnale MACD, RSI normalizzato e regressione lineare) per fornire una visione unificata del trend del mercato. L’indicatore calcola la media dei valori riscalati di questi quattro indicatori e la disegna sul grafico come una linea che cambia colore in base alla sua posizione rispetto allo 0. Se la linea è sopra lo 0, viene colorata di nero per indicare un trend rialzista. Se la linea è sotto lo 0, viene colorata di rosso per indicare un trend ribassista. L’utente può inserire un valore per la lunghezza dell’indicatore per personalizzare il periodo di tempo utilizzato per il calcolo degli indicatori sottostanti. L’indicatore funziona su ogni time frame.
KST-Based MACDAs a follow-up to my previous script:
I am posting a stand-alone KST-based MACD.
Note that this indicator is highly laggy. Specific care must be taken when using it.
The MACD-Signal crossing is quite delayed but it is a definite confirmation.
For earlier signs, the Histogram must be analyzed. A shift from Green-White signals the 1st Bear Signal.
A MACD-Signal crossing signals the 2nd Bear SIgnal.
The same applies for bull-signs.
This indicator is useful for long-term charts on which one might want to pinpoint clear, longterm divergences.
Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI and MACD are notoriously problematic when trying to pinpoint long-term divergences.
Finally, this indicator is not meant for pinpointing entry-exit positions. I find it useful for macro analysis. In my experience, the decreased sensitivity of this indicator can show very strong signs, that can be quite laggy.
Inside the indicator there is a setting for "exotic calculations". This is an attempt to make this chart work in both linear/ negative charts (T10Y2Y) and log charts (SPX)
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

█ 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 the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of 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
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
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
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: VHF-Adaptive Super Smoother 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.

What is a Vertical Horizontal Filter?
The Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) is a technical indicator used in trading to identify whether a market is trending or in a sideways trading range. It was developed by Adam White, and is based on the concept that markets tend to exhibit more volatility when they are trending, and less volatility when they are in a sideways range.
The VHF is calculated by taking the ratio of the range of the high and low prices over a specified period to the total range of prices over the same period. The resulting ratio is then multiplied by 100 to create a percentage value.
If the VHF is above a certain threshold, typically 60, it is considered to be indicating a trending market. If it is below the threshold, it is indicating a sideways trading range.
Traders use the VHF to help identify market conditions and to adjust their trading strategies accordingly. In a trending market, traders may look for opportunities to enter or exit positions based on the direction of the trend, while in a sideways trading range, traders may look for opportunities to buy at the bottom of the range and sell at the top.
The VHF can also be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or momentum indicators, to help confirm trading signals. For example, if the VHF is indicating a trending market and the moving average is also indicating a trend, this may provide a stronger signal to enter or exit a trade.
One potential limitation of the VHF is that it can be less effective in markets that are transitioning between trending and sideways trading ranges. During these periods, the VHF may not accurately reflect the current market conditions, and traders may need to use other indicators or methods to help identify the current trend.
In summary, the Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) is a technical indicator used in trading to identify whether a market is trending or in a sideways trading range. It is based on the concept that markets exhibit more volatility when they are trending, and less volatility when they are in a sideways range. Traders use the VHF to help identify market conditions and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
What is the Super Smoother?
developed by John F. Ehlers. This filter is based on aerospace analog filters and is specifically designed to reduce noise in price data. The noise in price data becomes more pronounced as the high-to-low price swings increase, particularly when the chart is plotted for greater time intervals. The Super Smoother Filter was created to address this problem by eliminating noise entirely, as opposed to moving averages such as the exponential moving average (EMA), which only offer a modest attenuation effect.
The aerospace analog filters that serve as the basis for the Super Smoother Filter are known for their ability to produce incredibly smooth signals while maintaining minimal lag. Ehlers adapted this technology to create a filter that is ideally suited for financial data, particularly when it comes to eliminating noise from price charts.
One of the key advantages of the Super Smoother Filter is its ability to provide a high level of accuracy in identifying trend changes. The filter is able to detect trend reversals with a high degree of precision, allowing traders to make more informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade.
Overall, the Ehlers’ Super Smoother Filter is a powerful tool for traders and investors looking to reduce noise in price data and identify trend changes with a high level of accuracy. Its unique design, based on aerospace analog filters, makes it an ideal solution for financial data and sets it apart from other smoothing techniques such as moving averages.
What is VHF-Adaptive Super Smoother Velocity?
The VHF Adaptive approach is applied to the calculation of the momentum indicator. The code first calculates the highest and lowest values of the input source over a specified period using the ta.highest and ta.lowest functions. It then computes the noise level by taking the sum of the absolute price changes over the same period.
The VHF ratio is then calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest values divided by the noise level. This ratio is used to determine the time period, tperiod, for the momentum indicator calculation. The tperiod is calculated as a negative logarithmic function of the VHF ratio, which ensures that the time period decreases as the VHF ratio increases, i.e., as the level of volatility in the market increases. The tperiod is then adjusted to ensure it is not less than one.
Finally, the momentum indicator is computed using the Super Smoother Filter (super) applied to the input source with the time period raised to a power of 0.95 for the upper band and 1.05 for the lower band. The power function also ensures that the time period is adjusted based on the VHF ratio, making the indicator more adaptive to changes in market volatility. There are two signal types: middle and levels crosses.
