Degen Dominator - (Crypto Dominance Tool) - [mutantdog]A fairly simple one this time. Another crypto dominance tool, consider it a sequel to Dominion if you will. Ready to go out-of-the-box with a selection of presets at hand.
The premise is straightforward, rather than viewing the various marketcap dominance indexes as their standard percentage values, here we have them represented as basic oscillators. This allows for multiple indexes to be viewed in one pane and gives a decent overview of their relative changes and thus the flow of capital within the overall crypto market. As a general rule-of-thumb, when a plot is above zero then the dominance is climbing, thus capital is likely flowing in that direction. The inverse applies when below zero. When the market is quiet, all will be close to zero. Basic overbought/oversold conditions can also be inferred too.
Active as default are:
Bitcoin (0range): CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D
Ethereum (Blue): CRYPTOCAP:ETH.D
Stablecoins (Red): CRYPTOCAP:USDT.D + CRYPTOCAP:USDC.D
Altcoins (Green): 100 - (all of the above)
These are plotted according to the selected oscillator preset and it's length parameter. The default is set to 'EMA Centre'. An optional RMA(3) smoothing filter is also included and active as default. Each index plot has its own colour and opacity settings available on the main page.
Additionally, the following are also available (deactivated as default):
Total DeFi : CRYPTOCAP:TOTALDEFI.D
Current Symbol : Will try to match corresponding dominance index for the chart symbol if available.
Custom Input : Manual text input, will try to match if available.
-------------
The included presets determine the oscillator type used, all are fairly simple and easy to interpret:
EMA Centre
SMA Centre
Median Centre
Midrange Centre
The first 4 are all variations on the same theme, simply calculated as the difference between the actual value and its respective average. EMA is the default and is my personal preference, if you generally favour using an SMA then perhaps that would be your better choice. Like the two MAs, median and midrange are also dependant on the length parameter. Midrange is calculated from the difference between highest and lowest values within the length period, with a little extra smoothing from an RMA(3).
Simple Delta
Weighted Delta
Running Delta
Often referred to as momentum, delta is just change over time. 'Simple' is the most basic of these, the difference between the current value and the value (length) bars prior. A more long-winded way of calculating this would be to take the difference between each bar and its previous then average them with an SMA which results in the same value. 'Weighted' adopts that principle but instead uses a WMA, likewise 'Running' is the same but using an RMA. The latter is actually the basis of RSI calculations before any normalisation is applied, as you can see in the next preset.
RSI
CMO
RSI really should not need explaining, it is however applied a little differently here to the usual, in this case centred around 0. The x100 multiplication factor has been dropped too for the sake of consistency. The same principle applies with CMO, which is basically a 'Simple Delta' version of RSI.
Hard Floor
Soft Floor
These last two are a little different but both can provide useful interpretations. The floor here is simply the lowest value within the chosen length period. 'Hard' plots the difference between the current value and the floor, thus giving a value that is always above 0. In this case, focus should be given to the relative heights of each with a simple interpretation that capital is flowing into those that are climbing and out of those descending. 'Soft' is essentially the same except that the floor is smoothed with an RMA(3), the result being that when new lows are made, the plot will break below 0 before the floor corrects a few bars later. This soft break provides additional information to that given by 'Hard' so is probably the more useful of the two.
------------
To finish it off, a bunch of preset alerts are included for the various 0 crossings.
So that just about covers everything then, all quite straightforward really. Future updates may include some extra stuff, the composition of the stablecoin index may change if necessary too. While this is not really a tweaker's tool like some of my other projects, there's still some room for experimentation here. The 'current' and 'custom' indexes can provide some useful data for compatible altcoins and the possibility to compare inter-related tokens (eg: Doge vs Shib). While i introduced this as a sort of sequel to Dominion, it is not intended as a replacement but more of a companion. This initially started as a feature intended for that one but it quickly grew into its own thing. Both the oscillator view here and the more traditional view have merits, i personally use this one primarily now but frequently refer to Dominion for confirmations etc.
That's it for now anyway. As always, feedback is welcome below. Enjoy!
Centered Oscillators
Effortless ContinuationIntroduction:
The Effortless Continuation Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for traders to identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. This indicator combines three popular technical indicators - Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA), and Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) - to generate buy and sell signals. It is suitable for use on any time frame, from intraday trading to swing trading and longer-term investing.
Indicator Components:
The indicator comprises of three main components: MACD, TEMA, and DEMA.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
The MACD is a momentum indicator that measures the difference between two moving averages of the price of an asset. It is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. The MACD line is used to identify changes in momentum, trends, and potential buy and sell signals.
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA):
The TEMA is a type of Moving Average that takes multiple EMA values and applies a triple smoothing to them. This allows the TEMA to react more quickly to changes in price trends than traditional moving averages. The TEMA line is used as an additional confirmation for potential buy and sell signals.
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA):
The DEMA is similar to the TEMA but applies double smoothing to the EMA values. It is used as a signal line to confirm buy and sell signals generated by the MACD and TEMA.
Signal Generation:
The Effortless Continuation Indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the crossover and crossunder of the MACD and DEMA lines, as well as the price being above or below the TEMA line. Long signals are generated when the MACD crosses above the DEMA and the price is above the TEMA. Short signals are generated when the MACD crosses below the DEMA and the price is below the TEMA.
Chop Sensitivity:
The indicator has a user-adjustable "Chop Sensitivity" setting, which allows traders to adjust the ATR sensitivity for long and short signals. ATR is a volatility indicator that measures the average range of price movements over a given period of time. The default value is set to 0.5 ATR, which means that long and short signals will not be generated if the price is within 0.5 ATR of the TEMA.
Alerts:
The Effortless Continuation Indicator has built-in alerts for both long and short signals. It also includes a single alert that will trigger for both long and short signals. This allows traders to stay informed of potential trading opportunities even when they are not actively monitoring the markets.
Conclusion:
The Effortless Continuation Indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that can help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. It is easy to use and can be customized to suit individual trading styles and preferences. It is important to note that this indicator does not predict the market, but rather provides potential signals that should be confirmed with additional technical and fundamental analysis. With its advanced signal generation and alert features, the Effortless Continuation Indicator can be a valuable addition to any trader's toolbox.
Momentum Ratio Oscillator [Loxx]What is Momentum Ratio Oscillator?
The theory behind this indicator involves utilizing a sequence of exponential moving average (EMA) calculations to achieve a smoother value of momentum ratio, which compares the current value to the previous one. Although this results in an outcome similar to that of some pre-existing indicators (such as volume zone or price zone oscillators), the use of EMA for smoothing is what sets it apart. EMA produces a smooth step-like output when values undergo sudden changes, whereas the mathematics used for those other indicators are completely distinct. This is a concept by the beloved Mladen of FX forums.
To utilize this version of the indicator, you have the option of using either levels, middle, or signal crosses for signals. The indicator is range bound from 0 to 1.
What is an EMA?
EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average, which is a type of moving average that is commonly used in technical analysis to smooth out price data and identify trends.
In a simple moving average (SMA), each data point is given equal weight when calculating the average. For example, if you are calculating the 10-day SMA, you would add up the prices for the past 10 days and divide by 10 to get the average. In contrast, in an EMA, more weight is given to recent prices, while older prices are given less weight.
The formula for calculating an EMA involves using a smoothing factor that is multiplied by the difference between the current price and the previous EMA value, and then adding this to the previous EMA value. The smoothing factor is typically calculated based on the length of the EMA being used. For example, a 10-day EMA might use a smoothing factor of 2/(10+1) or 0.1818.
The result of using an EMA is that the line produced is more responsive to recent price changes than a simple moving average. This makes it useful for identifying short-term trends and potential trend reversals. However, it can also be more volatile and prone to whipsaws, so it is often used in combination with other indicators to confirm signals.
Overall, the EMA is a widely used and versatile tool in technical analysis, and its effectiveness depends on the specific context in which it is applied.
What is Momentum?
In technical analysis, momentum refers to the rate of change of an asset's price over a certain period of time. It is often used to identify trends and potential trend reversals in financial markets.
Momentum is calculated by subtracting the closing price of an asset X days ago from its current closing price, where X is the number of days being used for the calculation. The result is the momentum value for that particular day. A positive momentum value suggests that prices are increasing, while a negative value indicates that prices are decreasing.
Traders use momentum in a variety of ways. One common approach is to look for divergences between the momentum indicator and the price of the asset being traded. For example, if an asset's price is trending upwards but its momentum is trending downwards, this could be a sign of a potential trend reversal.
Another popular strategy is to use momentum to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. When an asset's price has been rising rapidly and its momentum is high, it may be considered overbought and due for a correction. Conversely, when an asset's price has been falling rapidly and its momentum is low, it may be considered oversold and due for a bounce back up.
Momentum is also often used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or Bollinger Bands, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Overall, momentum is a useful tool for traders and investors to analyze price movements and identify potential trading opportunities. However, like all technical indicators, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and with consideration of the broader market context.

Vorse4**Vorse4 Indicator**
The Vorse4 Indicator is a technical analysis tool that combines Chaikin Oscillator, Intraday Momentum Index (IMI), MACD, and Parabolic SAR indicators. This indicator generates trading signals when all four indicators simultaneously provide buy or sell signals and visually presents these signals on the chart.
**How to Use:**
1. Buy signal: A buy signal is generated when there is a positive crossover in the Chaikin Oscillator, the IMI is above 50, the MACD line crosses the signal line upwards, and the price is above the Parabolic SAR. It is marked with a green arrow below the chart.
2. Sell signal: A sell signal is generated when there is a negative crossover in the Chaikin Oscillator, the IMI is below 50, the MACD line crosses the signal line downwards, and the price is below the Parabolic SAR. It is marked with a red arrow above the chart.
3. Turning zones: Areas with a high probability of transitioning from buy to sell or sell to buy are marked in yellow. These zones are determined by monitoring turning points in the Chaikin Oscillator, MACD, and Intraday Momentum Index.
**How to Apply:**
1. In your TradingView chart, go to the indicators menu and search for the "Vorse4" indicator.
2. Add the indicator to your chart. You will see green and red arrows indicating buy and sell signals, as well as yellow-colored areas representing turning zones on your chart.
3. Observe the buy and sell signals and trade according to your strategy. Analyze the performance of the indicator on historical data to evaluate the reliability of the signals.
**Note:** You can adjust the indicator parameters to balance the frequency and accuracy of buy and sell signals. Each strategy has a different risk-reward balance, so you can try different values to find the one that works best for you.
Jdawg Sentiment Momentum Oscillator EnhancedThe Jdawg Sentiment Momentum Oscillator Enhanced (JSMO_E) is a versatile technical analysis indicator designed to provide traders with insights into potential trend changes and overbought or oversold market conditions. JSMO_E combines the principles of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the Simple Moving Average (SMA), and the Rate of Change (ROC) to create a comprehensive tool for assessing market sentiment and momentum.
The uniqueness of JSMO_E lies in its ability to integrate the RSI, SMA of RSI, and ROC of RSI, while also allowing users to customize the weight of the ROC component. This combination of features is not commonly found in other indicators, which increases its distinctiveness.
To effectively use JSMO_E, follow these steps:
Apply the JSMO_E indicator to the price chart of the asset you are analyzing.
Observe the plotted JSMO_E line in relation to the zero line, overbought, and oversold levels.
When the JSMO_E line crosses above the zero line, it may signal the beginning of an uptrend or bullish momentum. Conversely, when the JSMO_E line crosses below the zero line, it may indicate the start of a downtrend or bearish momentum.
Overbought and oversold levels, marked by the red and green dashed lines, respectively, can serve as a warning that a trend reversal may be imminent. When the JSMO_E line reaches or surpasses the overbought level, it might indicate that the asset is overvalued and could experience a price decline. Conversely, when the JSMO_E line reaches or goes below the oversold level, it can signal that the asset is undervalued and may experience a price increase.
Adjust the input parameters (RSI Period, SMA Period, ROC Period, and ROC Weight) as needed to optimize the indicator for the specific market and time frame you are analyzing.
The JSMO_E indicator is suitable for various markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. However, its effectiveness may vary depending on the market conditions and time frames used. It is recommended to use JSMO_E in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and methods to confirm potential trade setups and improve overall trading performance. Always conduct thorough backtesting and forward-testing before employing any indicator in a live trading environment.
Price Action Oscillator with RSI--------- ENGLISH ---------
This oscillator combines the Price Action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to help identify potential buy and sell signals in a market. The Price Action Oscillator measures the difference between the closing price and a 20-period moving average, and then normalizes this value by dividing it by the standard deviation of the closing price from the same moving average. The result is an oscillator that oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating that the closing price is above the moving average and negative values indicating the opposite. The oscillator is then normalized again to smooth out the curve.
The RSI is also calculated using a 14-period setting. The color of the oscillator line is determined by its normalized value and the RSI level. A green color is used for averaging values, black for values when the RSI is above 70, and red for values when the RSI is below 30. A dashed line is also plotted at the zero level to help identify potential buy and sell signals.
Traders can use this script to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the cross of the oscillator line with the zero line, as well as the color of the oscillator line. A buy signal may be identified when the oscillator line crosses above the zero line and is colored black, while a sell signal may be identified when the oscillator line crosses below the zero line and is colored red.
---------- ITALIAN -------------
Questo oscillatore combina l'oscillatore Price Action e l'Indice di Forza Relativa (RSI) per aiutare a identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita in un mercato. L'oscillatore Price Action misura la differenza tra il prezzo di chiusura e una media mobile a 20 periodi, e poi normalizza questo valore dividendo la differenza per la deviazione standard della chiusura dalla stessa media mobile. Il risultato è un oscillatore che oscilla intorno allo zero, con valori positivi che indicano che il prezzo di chiusura è sopra la media mobile e valori negativi che indicano il contrario. L'oscillatore viene poi nuovamente normalizzato per levigare la curva.
L'RSI viene anche calcolato utilizzando una configurazione a 14 periodi. Il colore della linea dell'oscillatore è determinato dal suo valore normalizzato e dal livello RSI. Viene utilizzato il colore verde per i valori medi, nero per i valori quando l'RSI è superiore al 70 e rosso per i valori quando l'RSI è inferiore al 30. Viene anche disegnata una linea tratteggiata a livello dello zero per aiutare a identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita.
I trader possono utilizzare questo script per identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita in base all'incrocio della linea dell'oscillatore con la linea dello zero, nonché al colore della linea dell'oscillatore. Un segnale di acquisto può essere identificato quando la linea dell'oscillatore incrocia sopra la linea dello zero e viene colorata di nero, mentre un segnale di vendita può essere identificato quando la linea dell'oscillatore incrocia sotto la linea dello zero e viene colorata di rosso.
CoffeeShopCrypto 3pl MAThe CoffeeShopCrypto 3pl MA indicator is a technical analysis tool that uses three different moving averages to identify trends in the price of an asset. The three moving averages have lengths of 12, 26, and 50. If these numbers sound familiar its because they are based off the standard of the MACD indicator, and can be either simple moving averages (SMA) or exponential moving averages (EMA), depending on user preference.
The following is plotted on the chart
The fast EMA/SMA (based on the 12-period length) in yellow.
The mid EMA/SMA (based on the 26-period length) in gray.
The slow EMA/SMA (based on the 50-period length) in either green or red, depending on whether the current close price is above or below the Overall Trend MA.
In addition to the moving averages, the indicator also calculates the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and uses it to color the bars based on the momentum of the asset.
The MACD is calculated using two user-defined lengths (fast and slow), as well as a user-defined smoothing length for the signal line. The oscillator and signal line can be either SMA or EMA, and the colors of the MACD bars are based on whether the histogram is growing or falling, and whether it is above or below the zero line.
Overall, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive tool for understanding the trend of an asset, as well as the momentum behind that trend. The moving averages provide a clear visual representation of the trend, while the MACD bars give insight into the strength of that trend and potential shifts in momentum.
---------------LONG ENTRY----------------

GKD-C Digital Kahler MACD [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Digital Kahler 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: Digital Kahler 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.

What is Digital Kahler?
From Philipp Kahler's article for www.traders-mag.com, August 2008. "A Classic Indicator in a New Suit: Digital Stochastic"
Digital Indicators
Whenever you study the development of trading systems in particular, you will be struck in an extremely unpleasant way by the seemingly unmotivated indentations and changes in direction of each indicator. An experienced trader can recognise many false signals of the indicator on the basis of his solid background; a stupid trading system usually falls into any trap offered by the unclear indicator course. This is what motivated me to improve even further this and other indicators with the help of a relatively simple procedure. The goal of this development is to be able to use this indicator in a trading system with as few additional conditions as possible. Discretionary traders will likewise be happy about this clear course, which is not nerve-racking and makes concentrating on the essential elements of trading possible.
How Is It Done?
The digital stochastic is a child of the original indicator. We owe a debt of gratitude to George Lane for his idea to design an indicator which describes the position of the current price within the high-low range of the historical price movement. My contribution to this indicator is the changed pattern which improves the quality of the signal without generating too long delays in giving signals. The trick used to generate this “digital” behavior of the indicator. It can be used with most oscillators like RSI or CCI.
First of all, the original is looked at. The indicator always moves between 0 and 100. The precise position of the indicator or its course relative to the trigger line are of no interest to me, I would just like to know whether the indicator is quoted below or above the value 50. This is tantamount to the question of whether the market is just trading above or below the middle of the high-low range of the past few days. If the market trades in the upper half of its high-low range, then the digital stochastic is given the value 1; if the original stochastic is below 50, then the value –1 is given. This leads to a sequence of 1/-1 values – the digital core of the new indicator. These values are subsequently smoothed by means of a short exponential moving average . This way minor false signals are eliminated and the indicator is given its typical form.

TRIX with Momentum----------- ENGLISH --------------
This indicator is called "TRIX with Momentum" and is used to analyze the momentum of an asset's price and predict potential trend reversals. The logic of operation is based on the combination of two indicators: the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TRIX) and the momentum oscillator.
The TRIX is calculated using three exponential moving averages (EMA) of the asset's closing price, with a user-defined length (set to 14 by default). The TRIX is then normalized and centered around 0 to facilitate analysis of its relationship with the momentum oscillator.
The momentum oscillator is calculated using the EMA of the normalized TRIX with a user-defined length (set to 14 by default).
The indicator plots the normalized TRIX and the momentum oscillator on a chart, using different colors to indicate whether the TRIX is above or below 0. Additionally, the color of the y-axis label changes based on the position of the oscillator, while the color of the x-axis label remains gray.
The indicator uses a weighted average between the normalized TRIX and the momentum oscillator to create a colored background of the chart, which changes based on the weighted average. If the weighted average is positive, the chart's background is green, otherwise it is red. Finally, a horizontal line is drawn at point 0 to facilitate visual analysis of the chart.
------------ ITALIANO -------------
Questo indicatore è chiamato "TRIX with Momentum" ed è utilizzato per analizzare il momentum del prezzo di un asset e prevedere eventuali inversioni di trend. La logica di funzionamento è basata sulla combinazione di due indicatori: il TRIX (Indicatori di media mobile Tripla Esponenziale) e l'oscillatore momentum.
L'indicatore consente all'utente di impostare la lunghezza del TRIX e dell'oscillatore momentum come input personalizzato. Il TRIX viene calcolato utilizzando tre medie mobili esponenziali (EMA) della chiusura dei prezzi dell'asset, mentre l'oscillatore momentum viene calcolato utilizzando l'EMA del TRIX normalizzato.
Il TRIX normalizzato viene centrato intorno allo 0 per facilitare l'analisi della sua relazione con l'oscillatore momentum. L'indicatore plotta il TRIX normalizzato e l'oscillatore momentum su un grafico, utilizzando diversi colori per indicare se il TRIX è sopra o sotto lo 0.
L'indicatore utilizza una media pesata tra il TRIX normalizzato e l'oscillatore momentum per creare uno sfondo colorato del grafico, che cambia in base alla media pesata. L'utente può impostare il peso da dare al TRIX e all'oscillatore momentum come input personalizzato, e il peso dell'oscillatore momentum verrà automaticamente impostato come complementare al peso del TRIX.
Se la media pesata è positiva, lo sfondo del grafico è verde, altrimenti è rosso. Viene tracciata anche una linea orizzontale al punto 0 per facilitare l'analisi visiva del grafico.
Infine, il colore dell'etichetta dell'asse y cambia in base alla posizione dell'oscillatore, mentre il colore dell'etichetta dell'asse x rimane sempre grigio.

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 CCI 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: Digital Kahler CCI 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.

Step 3: Multiple the Slow and Fast MAs by their respective input ratios, and then divide by their sum. if the result is greater than 0, then the result is 1, if it's less than 0 then the result is -1, then chart the data
if ((slowr * slow_k + fastr * fast_k) / (fastr + slowr) > 50.0)
temp := 1
if ((slowr * slow_k + fastr * fast_k) / (fastr + slowr) < 50.0)
temp := -1

Bulls v BearsThis script helps you identify the relative strength of bulls and bears in the market. It calculates the difference between the high and the moving average for bulls, and the difference between the moving average and the low for bears. Then it normalizes the values between -100 and 100 using the highest and lowest values of the last "bars back" periods. This allows you to compare the current strength of bulls and bears relative to their historical strength.
The output of the script is a colored column chart that represents the difference between the normalized bulls and bears values. If the chart is mostly green, it means the bulls are currently stronger than the bears, and vice versa for a mostly red chart. Additionally, the script provides bullish and bearish signals based on when the normalized bulls cross above or below the user-defined "Line Height" value.
You can use this script to help you identify potential trend changes in the market, as well as to confirm existing trends.

(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 CCI 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 VHF-Adaptive CCI
What is CCI?
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is a popular technical analysis tool used by traders to identify potential trend reversals, overbought and oversold conditions, and trading opportunities in various financial markets such as stocks, commodities, currencies, and bonds.
The CCI indicator is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between the current price of an asset and its historical average price over a given period of time. The CCI calculation involves subtracting the typical price of an asset from its simple moving average (SMA), and then dividing the result by a multiple of the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the typical price.
The formula for CCI can be written as:
CCI = (Typical Price - SMA) / (0.015 x MAD)
Where:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
SMA = Simple Moving Average of Typical Price over a specified period (usually 20)
MAD = Mean Absolute Deviation of Typical Price over the same period
The CCI values range between -100 and +100. When the CCI value is above +100, it indicates that the asset is overbought, and there is a possibility of a trend reversal or price correction. Conversely, when the CCI value is below -100, it indicates that the asset is oversold, and there is a potential for a trend reversal or price increase.
Traders use CCI in various ways, such as identifying divergences between price and CCI, looking for bullish or bearish crossovers of the CCI line, and using the CCI in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm trading signals.
Overall, CCI is a useful tool for traders and investors to analyze market trends, identify potential reversals, and make informed trading decisions. However, it is important to remember that no single indicator can predict the future market movements with certainty, and traders should always consider other factors such as fundamental analysis, news events, and risk management strategies when making trading decisions.
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 VHF-Adaptive CCI?
This indicator adapts to a VHF filter output. This is done by calculating a period output from the VHF filter. This value is then used to calculate CCI. This adaptivity allows CCI to adjust to price movement more accurately thereby reducing noise and improving signal quality.

BE - OBV MACD█ Overview
BE - OBV MACD - Algo Trading is an indicator developed to analyze volume , MACD and PSAR simultaneously in order to understand how they are co-related to each other. This tool calculates the likelihood of strength for buying or selling within the market direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of flow of volumes (OBV, MACD & PSAR). A positive score is assigned for events where the Buyers volume is rising over the candle, MACD on the price is rising and MACD on the OBV is providing positive output and the PSAR is Below the close price thus generating the Buy Signal, and a negative score for the vise versa thus generating the Sell Signal.
Note: Since this indicator is an overlay indicator MACD and OBV is not shown on the chart. One can add them on the chart if you wish to analyze the impact of the same.
█ Settings
Customization of settings is possible for risk management concepts like setting the initial SL level, Trail SL Level, Day Max Level.
Hide or Show plots and Table is possible from the indicator settings.

OBV-MACDThe OBV-MACD indicator is a momentum-based technical analysis tool that helps traders identify trend reversals and trend strength. This Pine script is an implementation of the OBV-MACD indicator that uses the On-Balance Volume (OBV) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators to provide a momentum data of OBV.
The OBV-MACD indicator uses the OBV to calculate the cumulative volume, which is then smoothed using two moving averages - fast and slow. The difference between these moving averages is plotted as a histogram, with a signal line plotted over it. A buy signal is generated when the histogram crosses above the signal line, indicating a bullish trend, while a sell signal is generated when the histogram crosses below the signal line, indicating a bearish trend.
This Pine script also includes an OBV-MACD-Donchian version that incorporates Donchian channels for the OBV-MACD. The Donchian channel is a technical analysis indicator that helps traders identify the highs and lows of an asset's price over a certain period. The OBV-MACD-Donchian version uses the OBV-MACD indicator along with the Donchian channels to provide signals that the momentum of OBV is making new high/low during that period of time.
Traders can customize the input parameters of the OBV-MACD indicator, such as the timeframe, method of calculation for the moving averages, and the lengths of the moving averages and breakout lengths. The colors of the plot can also be customized to suit the trader's preferences.
Impulse Momentum MACD - Slow and FastImpulse Momentum MACD - Slow and Fast
The Momentum indicator is a technical indicator that measures the speed and strength of the price movement of a financial asset. This indicator is used to identify the underlying strength of a trend and predict potential changes in price direction, when the indicator crosses the zero line, it can signal a change of direction in the price trend.
On the other hand, the MACD is an indicator used to identify the trend and strength of the market and shows the difference between two exponential moving averages ( EMA ) of different periods. The MACD is commonly used to determine the direction of an asset's price trend.
COPOSITION AND USE OF THE INDICATOR
This script is an implementation of the Impulse Momentum MACD indicator with two variations: slow and fast. It uses a combination of the Momentum indicator and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator to identify trend reversals and momentum changes in an asset's price.
The combination of both indicators can help traders identify market entry and exit opportunities. The Impulse Momentum MACD is a Modified MACD, it is formed by filtering the values in a range of Modifiable Moving Averages by calculating their high and low ranges,This indicator has two parts: a slow part and a fast part. The slow part uses input values for the lengths of the moving averages and the length of the signal for the MACD indicator. The fast part uses different input values for the lengths of the moving averages. Also, each part has its own set of line colors and histogram colors for easy visualization.
The script also includes inputs to choose the type of moving average to use (SMA, EMA, etc.), the lookback period, the colors for the histogram lines and bars, and a zero trend line (also known as a horizontal trend line). ).

Know Sure Thing + RibbonFrom now on this will be the main indicator I will be using.
The mathematical foundation of KST is elegant and trustworthy. I took the time to share this beautiful (in my opinion) indicator, because you will probably be seeing it in my future ideas.
I am not a trader, this indicator was made to analyze mainly long-term charts, and trend-continuation/change analysis.
The purpose of this indicator is not to give entry/exit points. However, the 9-period EMA (tightest EMA) can serve as an alternative to the classic "9-period MA signal line".
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

GKD-C T3-based CCI [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C T3-based CCI 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 Stochastic 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: T3-based CCI 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 T3-based CCI
What is T3?
The T3 Moving Average (T3MA) is a technical analysis indicator that was developed by Tim Tillson. It is a trend-following indicator that aims to provide a smoother and more accurate representation of price trends than other moving average indicators.
The T3MA is a type of exponential moving average ( EMA ) that is calculated using a series of complex formulas. Unlike a simple or exponential moving average , which use fixed smoothing factors, the T3MA uses a variable smoothing factor that is based on the volatility of the underlying asset. This means that the T3MA is able to adapt to changing market conditions and provide more accurate signals.
The formula for calculating the T3MA is as follows:
T3 = a * EMA1 + (1 - a) * T3
Where:
-T3 is the current value of the T3MA
-EMA1 is the current value of the first EMA
-T3 is the previous value of the T3MA
-a is the smoothing factor, which is based on the volatility of the underlying asset and is calculated using the following formulas:
-c1 = -1 + exp (-sqrt(2) * pi / period)
-c2 = 2 * c1 * c1 + 2 * c1
-c3 = 1 - c1 - c2
-a = c1 * sqrt(period) * (close - T3) + c2 * T3 + c3 * EMA1
In simple terms, the T3MA is calculated by taking a weighted average of two different EMAs, with the weight given to each EMA depending on the volatility of the asset being analyzed. The T3MA is then smoothed using a second smoothing factor, which further reduces noise and improves the accuracy of the indicator.
The T3MA can be used in a variety of ways by traders and analysts. Some common applications include using the T3MA as a trend-following indicator, with buy signals generated when the price of an asset crosses above the T3MA and sell signals generated when the price crosses below. The T3MA can also be used in combination with other indicators and analytical techniques to confirm trading decisions and identify potential trend reversals.
Overall, the T3 Moving Average is a highly sophisticated and complex technical indicator that is designed to provide a more accurate and reliable representation of price trends. While it may be difficult for novice traders to understand and use effectively, experienced traders and analysts may find the T3MA to be a valuable tool in their trading toolbox.
What is CCI?
he Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a technical analysis indicator that was developed by Donald Lambert in 1980. It's primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market, as well as trend direction and potential price reversals.
The CCI is calculated by taking the difference between the typical price (the average of the high, low, and close prices) and a moving average of the typical price over a certain period of time. This difference is then divided by a factor based on the average deviation of the typical price from the moving average.
The formula for the CCI is:
CCI = (Typical Price - 20-period SMA of Typical Price) / (0.015 x Mean Deviation)
Where:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
SMA = Simple Moving Average
Mean Deviation = Average of the absolute value of the difference between the Typical Price and the SMA over the last 20 periods.
The CCI is usually displayed as a line chart that oscillates around a centerline of zero. Readings above zero indicate that the typical price is above the moving average, while readings below zero indicate that the typical price is below the moving average.
Traders typically use the CCI to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. When the CCI rises above a certain level (e.g., +100), it's considered overbought, indicating that the price may be due for a correction or reversal. When the CCI falls below a certain level (e.g., -100), it's considered oversold, indicating that the price may be due for a bounce or reversal.
The CCI can also be used to identify potential trend reversals. When the CCI crosses above or below the zero line, it can signal a potential change in trend. For example, if the CCI crosses above the zero line, it could indicate that a bullish trend is emerging, while a cross below the zero line could indicate that a bearish trend is emerging.
Overall, the Commodity Channel Index is a useful technical analysis tool for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals in the market. However, like all technical indicators, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management techniques to make informed trading decisions.

Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) of Money Flow Index (MFI)"He who does not know how to make predictions and makes light of his opponents, underestimating his ability, will certainly be defeated by them."
(Sun Tzu - The Art of War)
▮ Introduction
The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is a technical analysis indicator that uses the difference between the current closing price and the high or low price over a specific time period to measure price momentum.
On the other hand, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is an indicator that uses volume and price to measure buying and selling pressure.
When these two indicators are combined, they can provide a more comprehensive view of price direction and market strength.
▮ Improvements
By combining SMI with MFI, we can gain even more insights into the market. One way to do this is to use the MFI as an input to the SMI, rather than just using price.
This means we are measuring momentum based on buying and selling pressure rather than just price.
Another way to improve this indicator is to adjust the periods to suit your specific trading needs.
▮ What to look
When using the SMI MFI indicator, there are a few things to look out for.
First, look at the SMI signal line.
When the line crosses above -40, it is considered a buy signal, while the crossing below +40 is considered a sell signal.
Also, pay attention to divergences between the SMI MFI and the price.
If price is rising but the SMI MFI is showing negative divergence, it could indicate that momentum is waning and a reversal could be in the offing.
Likewise, if price is falling but the SMI MFI is showing positive divergence, this could indicate that momentum is building and a reversal could also be in the offing.
In the examples below, I show the use in conjunction with the price SMI, in which the MFI SMI helps to anticipate divergences:
In summary, the SMI MFI is a useful indicator that can provide valuable insights into market direction and price strength.
By adjusting the timeframes and paying attention to divergences and signal line crossovers, traders can use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
However, remember that no indicator is a magic bullet and should always be used in conjunction with other analytics and indicators to make informed trading decisions.
WillyCycle Oscillator&DoubleMa/ErkOzi/"This code creates a technical analysis indicator used to calculate and visualize the WillyCycle oscillator and double moving average indicators on the price of a financial asset. The functionality can be summarized as follows:
*Calculate the WillyCycle oscillator: The WillyCycle is an oscillator calculated based on the highest and lowest values of an asset. This oscillator is used to measure overbought or oversold conditions of the asset.
*Calculate the double moving average: The double moving average helps determine trends by calculating the short-term and long-term moving averages of asset prices.
*Use the WillyCycle oscillator and double moving average indicators together: The WillyCycle oscillator is combined with the double moving averages to provide a clearer indication of overbought and oversold conditions.
*Visualize the indicator with color coding: The indicator is color-coded to show overbought and oversold conditions. Additionally, line and background colors are changed to make the indicator more readable.
Many parameters can be adjusted on the indicator: The indicator can be customized and modified by the user. For example, the period of the WillyCycle oscillator and the lengths of the double moving averages can be adjusted."
The strategy is based on two indicators - the WillyCycle oscillator and the double moving average. The WillyCycle oscillator measures overbought and oversold conditions of the asset based on its highest and lowest values. The double moving average calculates short-term and long-term moving averages of the asset's price, which can help identify trends.
The WillyCycle oscillator and the double moving average are combined in this strategy to provide a clearer indication of overbought and oversold conditions. When the WillyCycle oscillator indicates that the asset is oversold and the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, it may signal a buy opportunity. Conversely, when the WillyCycle oscillator indicates that the asset is overbought and the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average, it may signal a sell opportunity.
To make it easier for traders to read and interpret the indicator, color-coding is used to indicate overbought and oversold conditions. The user can also customize the indicator by adjusting parameters such as the period of the WillyCycle oscillator and the lengths of the double moving averages.
*ıt provides successful buy and sell signals for price reversals.
*You can open counter trades in overbought and oversold areas by following the averages.
GKD-C Hodrick-Prescott MACD [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Hodrick–Prescott 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 Stochastic 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: Hodrick–Prescott 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 Hodrick–Prescott MACD
What is Hodrick–Prescott filter?
The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is a mathematical tool used in macroeconomics to separate a time series into its trend component and its cyclical component. It was developed by economists Robert Hodrick and Edward Prescott in 1980.
The HP filter works by decomposing a time series into two components: a trend component and a cyclical component. The trend component represents the long-term behavior of the time series, while the cyclical component represents the short-term fluctuations around the trend.
The HP filter is based on the assumption that the trend component of a time series varies smoothly over time, while the cyclical component varies more rapidly. The filter uses a mathematical algorithm to estimate the trend component of the time series, and then subtracts the trend from the original time series to obtain the cyclical component.
The HP filter is widely used in macroeconomics to analyze business cycles, as it allows researchers to separate the underlying trend in economic data from the short-term fluctuations. It is also used in finance to analyze asset prices, and in other fields where time series analysis is important.
What is Hodrick–Prescott MACD?
This indicator uses the HP Filter instead of EMA in the general MACD calculation.

Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Refurbished▮Introduction
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Indicator is a technical indicator used in technical analysis of stocks and other financial instruments.
It was developed by William Blau in 1993 and is considered to be a momentum indicator that can help identify trend reversal points.
Basically, it's a combination of the True Strength Index with a signal line to help identify turning points in the market.
SMI uses the stochastic formula to compare the current closing price of an asset with the maximum and minimum price range over a specific period.
He then compares this ratio to a short-term moving average to create an indicator that oscillates between -100 and +100.
When the SMI is above 0, it is considered positive, indicating that the current price is above the short-term moving average.
When it is below 0, it is considered negative, indicating that the current price is below the short-term moving average.
Traders use the SMI to identify potential trend reversal points.
When the indicator reaches an extreme level above +40 or below -40, a trend reversal is possible.
Furthermore, traders also watch for divergences between the SMI and the asset price to identify potential trading opportunities.
It is important to remember that the SMI is a technical indicator and as such should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to get a complete picture of the market situation.
▮ Improvements
The following features were added:
1. 7 color themes, for TSI, Signal and Histogram.
2. Possibility to customize moving average type for TSI/Signal.
3. Dynamic Zones.
4. Crossing Alerts.
5. Alert points on specific ranges.
5. Coloring of bars according to TSI/Signal/Histogram.
▮ Themes
Examples:
▮ About Dynamic Zones
'Most indicators use a fixed zone for buy and sell signals.
Here's a concept based on zones that are responsive to the past levels of the indicator.'
The concept of Dynamic Zones was described by Leo Zamansky ( Ph .D.) and David Stendahl, in the magazine of Stocks & Commodities V15:7 (306-310).
Basically, a statistical calculation is made to define the extreme levels, delimiting a possible overbought/oversold region.
Given user-defined probabilities, the percentile is calculated using the method of Nearest Rank.
It is calculated by taking the difference between the data point and the number of data points below it, then dividing by the total number of data points in the set.
The result is expressed as a percentage.
This provides a measure of how a particular value compares to other values in a data set, identifying outliers or values that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data.
▮ What to look for
1. Divergences/weakening of a trend/reversal:
2. Supports, resistances, pullbacks:
3. Overbought/Oversold Points:

Colorful Moving Averageswhat is Colorful Moving Averages?
This indicator allows you to use your favorite moving averages in their advanced form.
what it does?
It gives you easy access to the following information with a single indicator: the direction and momentum of the price,
rate of change of momentum (acceleration),
time-dependent change in momentum,
and all the other information a moving average provides.
it paints the selected moving average type according to the momentum it has, and also shows the momentum and acceleration values in a table. colors are interpreted as follows: the color of the moving average is red, the momentum is negative; A green color means the momentum is positive, and a yellow color means the momentum is 0. As the momentum changes, the moving average takes on different shades of these 3 colors. how it actually works can be easily understood at a glance.
"Δ" sign indicates momentum compressed between 100 and -100.
"Γ" sign indicates the momentum of the momentum, that is the acceleration. its values are compressed between 100 and -100.
how it does it?
it uses this formulas:
how to use it?
First, select the moving average type you want to use. then set the length and source. Now, with a single indicator, you can observe both the distance of the price from the mean, its instantaneous momentum relative to the last candle by looking at the symbol "Δ", the current change of momentum by looking at the symbol "Γ", and the time-dependent change in its momentum by looking at the colors. you can also see the maximum and minimum points where the momentum is equal to 0.
FOREX Master Pattern Trend Finder by nnamdertWhat does this Indicator do?
This indicator works by identifying Trends and "potential" shifts in trends before they happen. It is technically a momentum indicator that watches for specific Bullish or Bearish momentum (i.e. Bull Runs, and Crashes).
How does it do this?
It uses a custom script that takes into account extremes in price and certain moving averages and other accurate forward looking indicators. Once it finds a Bull run, signals are triggered in the form of PLUS signs. It does the same for strong Bearish trends. Based on how the script is configured, the Indicator is able to spot (in advance) unique movement in the trend that can predict a change in momentum prior to the change occurring.
These momentum changes can be configured as alerts.
As seen in the screenshot below the indicator triggers "early warning" signals when it detects a specific movement that is indicative of a potential change in momentum or trend. It does this IN ADVANCE of any change - it is ONLY A PREDICTION but allows the trader to look at the asset to determine if the potential change in trend is valid and gives the trader enough time to set up a trade and stop-loss.
As seen in the screenshot below color-coded candles allow the trader to visually SEE the change on the chart making it easier to get a quick glance at the current trend. In addition, Green and Red Crosses were added to the oscillator to help easily identify trends if the color coded candle feature is turned OFF. These Red and Green Crosses are not located at every highlighted bar location, rather, at the first bar that the alert was triggered on. If there was a gap in the trend, the alert triggers, and plots again when a new trend starts.
As seen in the screenshot below, when a strong trend is present in either direction, small red or green dots are plotted on the oscillator. This makes spotting past and current trends much easier. Even if the price is not moving up or down, this indicates strong underlying buying or selling pressure.
Some traders like using indicators as a reversal finder. Although this indicator is NOT A REVERSAL INDICATOR, I added a signal that can be used as a "potential" reversal finder. You can see this in the screenshot below.
These "reversal" signals typically appear prior to a move in the opposite direction (but not always). A stop-loss can be set at the high or low of the previous bar depending on direction.
At times, multiple "conflicting" warning signals appear back-to-back. This is indicative of a "crab" in the market. Basically, indecision is present in the market. These "early warning" signals are smaller and either BLUE or ORANGE . Once a trend is recognized, the signal will be either RED or GREEN and a bit larger.
Viewing a higher timeframe will allow Forex Master Pattern traders to easily spot contraction zones. I manually draw the lines in at these zones. These "Value Lines" are typically respected in the future. As shown in the screenshot below, the level acted as support in the future and a newer value line was created at a "higher level" - this indicates a Bullish momentum in price as buyers and sellers have agreed upon the higher price as a true value area.
As seen in the screenshot below, multiple potential reversal signals plotted on the chart indicate a "weakening' in the strength of the current trend. This allows the trader to strategically move their stop-loss or simply take some profits off the table at this level.
This Indicator does NOT overlay on the current chart but allows the trader to see color coded bars. Simply double clicking within the indicator will expand the indicator to full screen, and double clicking within the chart itself will hide the secondary pane but keep the candles visible on the chart.
Happy Trading and GOOD LUCK!
