| AccumulationDistribution | Accumulation Distribution formula. This indicator uses a relationship between volume and prices to estimate the strength of price movements, and if volume is increased there is a high probability that prices will go up. The accumulation distribution formula is an improved On Balance Volume indicator. This indicator uses a relationship between volume and prices to estimate the strength of price movements, and if volume is increased there is a high probability that prices will go up. |
| AverageTrueRange | Average True Range indicator, which measures commitment and compares the range between the High, Low and Close prices. The Average True Range is an indicator that measures commitment and compares the range between the High, Low and Close prices. This indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder. |
| BollingerBands | Bollinger Bands indicators,are plotted at standard deviation levels above and below a simple moving average. Bollinger Bands are indicators that are plotted at standard deviation levels above and below a simple moving average. Since standard deviation is a measure of volatility, a large standard deviation indicates a volatile market, while a smaller standard deviation indicates a calmer market. Bollinger Bands are a good way to compare volatility and relative price levels over a period of time. |
| ChaikinOscillator | Chaikin Oscillator indicator. It is the difference between a 3-day exponential moving average and a 10-day exponential moving average applied to the Accumulation Distribution. The Chaikin Oscillator indicator is the difference between a 3-day exponential moving average and a 10-day exponential moving average applied to the Accumulation Distribution. Using the Chaikin Oscillator it is possible to monitor volume flow for a market. The Chaikin Oscillator should be used together with the price envelope. |
| CommodityChannelIndex | Commodity Channel Index, which compares prices with their moving averages. The Commodity Channel Index compares prices with their moving averages. If the Commodity channel index is high it means that a price is higher than its moving average, which is an indicator that security is overbought. If the Commodity channel index is low it means that a price is lower than its moving average, which is an indicator that security is oversold. |
| DetrendedPriceOscillator | Detrended Price Oscillator, which attempts to remove trend from prices. The Detrended Price Oscillator attempts to remove trend from prices. By comparing the closing price or any other price with it's moving average, the Detrended Price Oscillator eliminates cycles that are longer than the moving average. |
| EaseOfMovement | Ease of Movement deals with the relationship between volume and price change, and uses volume to indicate how strong a trend is for prices Ease of Movement deals with the relationship between volume and price change, and uses volume to indicate how strong a trend is for prices. Ease of Movement was developed by Richard W Arms. |
| Envelopes | Envelopes are plotted above and below a moving average using a specified percentage as the shift. Envelopes are plotted above and below a moving average using a specified percentage as the shift. The envelopes indicator is used to create signals for buying and selling, and the percentage to be used for calculating the envelopes is specified by the user. This percentage should depend on the volatility of the market (the higher the market volatility, the higher the percentage should be). |
| ExponentialMovingAverage | An Exponential Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time where the most recent days have more weight. An Exponential Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time where the most recent days have more weight. The exponential moving average can be used with any price: Hi, Low, Open and Close, or it could be applied to other indicators. An Exponential Moving average smooths a data series, which is very important in a volatile market. |
| Forecasting | Forecasting (predicting future values using historical observations). The Time Series analysis has two main goals: Identifying the nature of a sequence of observations and predicting future values using historical observations (forecasting). In time series analysis it is assumed that the data consist of a systematic pattern and random noise which usually makes the pattern difficult to identify. Most time series analysis techniques uses filtering to remove noise. |
| MACD | The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) indicator compares two moving averages of prices. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) indicator compares two moving averages of prices. The MACD is used with a 9-day Exponential Moving average as a signal, which indicates buying and selling moments. This indicator was developed by Gerald Appel. |
| MassIndex | The Mass Index is used to predict trend reversal by comparing the difference and range between High and Low prices. The Mass Index is used to predict trend reversal by comparing the difference and range between High and Low prices. If the Mass Index increases the range between High and low increases. If the Mass Index decreases the range between High and Low decreases. |
| MedianPrice | Median prices are mid-point values of daily prices and can be used as a filter for trend indicators. Median prices are mid-point values of daily prices and can be used as a filter for trend indicators. They are also used as a daily average price which is very useful if we want a simpler "view" of prices. |
| MoneyFlow | The Money Flow indicator compares upward changes and downward changes of volume-weighted typical prices. The money flow indicator compares upward changes and downward changes of volume-weighted typical prices. This indicator is similar to the relative strength index, the difference being the volume-weighted prices. This indicator can be used to identify market tops and bottoms. |
| NegativeVolumeIndex | The Negative Volume Index should be used together with the Positive Volume index, and the Negative Volume Index only changes if the volume decreases from the previous day. The Negative Volume Index should be used together with the Positive Volume index, and the Negative Volume Index only changes if the volume decreases from the previous day. |
| OnBalanceVolume | The On Balance Volume indicator measures positive and negative volume flow. The On Balance Volume is one of the first volume indicators that measures positive and negative volume flow. Volume is added if the closing price increases and subtracted if the closing price decreases. On Balance Volume wass developed by Joseph Granville. |
| Performance | The Performance indicator compares a current Close (or any other price) with the first Close value (from the first time period). The Performance indicator compares a current Close (or any other price) with the first Close value (from the first time period ). This indicator shows the degree of a change in a price. |
| PositiveVolumeIndex | The Positive Volume Index should be used together with the Negative Volume index. The Positive volume index only changes if the volume decreases from the previous day. The Positive Volume Index should be used together with the Negative Volume index. The Positive volume index only changes if the volume decreases from the previous day. |
| PriceVolumeTrend | The Price Volume Trend is a cumulative volume total that is calculated using relative changes of the Close price, and should be used with other indicators. The Price Volume Trend is a cumulative volume total that is calculated using relative changes of the Close price, and should be used with other indicators. |
| RateOfChange | The Rate of Change indicator compares a specified Close price with the current price. The Rate of Change indicator is very similar to the Performance indicator, where the Performance indicator compares the first price with current price while the Rate of Change compares a specified Close price with the current price. This formula is used for both prices and volume. |
| RelativeStrengthIndex | The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that compares upward movements of the Close price with downward movements, and results in values that range from 0 to 100. The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that compares upward movements of the Close price with downward movements, and results in values that range from 0 to 100. The Relative Strength index was developed by J. Welles Wilder. |
| MovingAverage | A Simple Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time. The moving average is the most popular price indicator used in technical analyses, and can be used with any price (e.g.Hi, Low, Open and Close) or it can be applied to other indicators. A Simple Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time. The moving average is the most popular price indicator used in technical analyses, and can be used with any price (e.g.Hi, Low, Open and Close) or it can be applied to other indicators. A moving average smooths a data series, which is very important in a volatile market. Also, trends are easier to spot using a moving average. |
| StandardDeviation | Standard deviation is used to indicate volatility, and measures the difference between values (e.g. Closing Price) and their moving average. Standard deviation is used to indicate volatility, and measures the difference between values (e.g. Closing Price) and their moving average. The larger the difference the higher the standard deviation and volatility. The smaller the difference the lower the standard deviation and volatility. |
| StochasticIndicator | The Stochastic Indicator helps to find trend reversal by searching for a period when: the close prices are close to low prices in an upward trending market; or close prices are close to high prices in a downward trending market. When a trend is upward there is a tendency that the close price will be very close to that day's high. During a downward trending market there is a tendency that the close price is closer to the low price. The Stochastic Indicator helps to find trend reversal by searching for a period when: the close prices are close to low prices in an upward trending market; or close prices are close to high prices in a downward trending market. This formula has two output values: K - Simple Stochastic Indicator and D - Smoothed Stochastic Indicator (Moving Average of %K). |
| TriangularMovingAverage | A Triangular Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time where the middle portion of data has more weight. A Triangular Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time where the middle portion of data has more weight. The Triangular Moving Average can be used with any price (Hi, Low, Open, Close) or it can be applied to other indicators. The Triangular Moving Average smooths a data series, which is very important in a volatile market. |
| TRIX | The TRIX indicator is based on a triple moving average of the Closing Price, and its purpose is to eliminate short cycles. The TRIX is based on a triple moving average of the Closing Price, and its purpose is to eliminate short cycles. This indicator keeps the Close price in trends that are shorter than the specified period. |
| TypicalPrice | Typical price is the average value of daily prices, and can be used as a filter for trend indicators. Typical price is the average value of daily prices, and can be used as a filter for trend indicators. It is also used as a daily average price which is very useful if we want a simpler view of prices. |
| VolatilityChaikins | The Volatility Chaikins indicator measures the difference between High and Low prices, and is used to indicate tops or bottoms of the market. The Volatility Chaikins indicator measures the difference between High and Low prices, and is used to indicate tops or bottoms of the market. This formula was developed by Marc Chaikin. |
| VolumeOscillator | The Volume oscillator attempts to identify trends in volume by comparing two moving averages; one with a short period and another with a longer period. The Volume oscillator attempts to identify trends in volume by comparing two moving averages; one with a short period and another with a longer period. |
| WeightedClose | The Weighted Close formula calculates the average value of daily prices. The only difference between Typical Price and the Weighted Close is that the closing price has extra weight, and is considered the most important price. The Weighted Close formula calculates the average value of daily prices. The only difference between Typical Price and the Weighted Close is that the closing price has extra weight, and is considered the most important price. The Weighted Close can be used as a filter for trend indicators, and can also be used as a daily average price (very useful if we want a simpler view of prices). |
| WeightedMovingAverage | A Weighted Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time, where greater weight is attached to the most recent data. A Weighted Moving Average is an average of data calculated over a period of time, where greater weight is attached to the most recent data. The Weighted Moving Average can be used with any price (Hi, Low, Open, Close) or it can be applied to other indicators. The Weighted Moving Average smooths a data series, which is important in a volatile market. Weighting is calculated from a sum of days. |
| WilliamsR | William's William's R is a momentum indicator, and is used to measure overbought and oversold levels. This indicator is very similar to the Stochastic K indicator, except that Williams R is always a negative value between 0 and -100. This indicator was developed by Larry Williams. |
