Dynamic Action Convergence DivergenceGoodbye MACD. Hello DACD.
The Dynamic Action Convergence Divergence (DACD) indicator presents a unique approach to understanding market trends and potential price reversals. This indicator is distinctly different from the currently published scripts in the following ways:
1. The DACD is rooted in the principles of the Average Directional Index (ADX) — especially as construed by the helpful work of @robertkowalski — but innovates by focusing on the divergence and convergence of the directional movement indicators (DI+ and DI-). This focus offers a more dynamic perspective on price action.
2. The DACD incorporates a histogram representation of the difference between DI+ and DI-, making it easier to visually interpret periods of divergence (potential reversal points) and convergence (potential continuation points).
3. It further enhances interpretation by applying a familiar color scheme to the histogram, allowing for an immediate visual understanding of the trend direction and its strength.
4. Unique to the DACD, it scales the difference between DI+ and DI-, applies a moving average, and then represents this as a line on the graph (referred to as "DI+ - DI-"). This line provides a smoothed view of the difference between DI+ and DI-, offering additional insight into the trend's characteristics.
5. Finally, a second moving average is calculated over the "DI+ - DI-" line, creating a signal line akin to the MACD's signal line. This signal line provides a benchmark to the "DI+ - DI-" line, indicating potential points of trend exhaustion and reversal.
The DACD can be used across various markets, including equities, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies, making it a versatile tool for any trader's arsenal. As with any technical indicator, the DACD should be used in conjunction with other indicators and forms of analysis to confirm signals and make more informed trading decisions.
The DACD excels in trending markets where it can highlight potential continuation and reversal points. However, during periods of consolidation or sideways moving markets, the DACD may provide less reliable signals. Therefore, it's essential to consider the overall market context when using the DACD.
The originality of the DACD lies in its novel application of the concepts from the ADX, its unique presentation style, and the additional moving averages applied to the difference between DI+ and DI-. These factors contribute to a unique trading indicator that stands apart from the crowd and offers new opportunities for technical analysis.

POSTSCRIPT: DACD VS MACD
Goodbye MACD. Hello DACD.
The MACD and DACD, while visually similar due to the familiar color scheme, are fundamentally different in their logic and data processing.
MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator, using the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. Its color scheme is well-recognized, assisting traders in quickly interpreting market momentum and potential trend shifts.
On the other hand, DACD, while maintaining a similar visual style for ease of adoption, is rooted in the principles of the Average Directional Index (ADX). It focuses on the divergence and convergence of the directional movement indicators (DI+ and DI-), providing a dynamic perspective on price action.
The familiar color scheme is purposefully used to facilitate easier transition for traders from MACD to DACD, despite their different underpinnings. This allows users to intuitively understand the new indicator while benefiting from its unique insight into market trends.
ADX
Trend Momentum SynthesizerBy analyzing the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Squeeze Momentum indicators, this indicator helps identify potential bullish, bearish, or undecided market conditions.
The algorithm within considers the positions of the MACD and Squeeze Momentum indicators to determine the overall market sentiment. When the indicators align and indicate a bullish market condition, the indicator's plot color will be either dark green, green, yellow, or lime, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the indicators align and indicate a bearish market condition, the plot color will be maroon or red, denoting a potential bearish trend. When the indicators are inconclusive, the plot color will be orange, suggesting an undecided market.
The ADX is an addon component of this indicator, helping to assess the strength of a trend. By analyzing the ADX, the indicator determines whether a trend is strong enough, providing additional confirmation for potential trade signals. The ADX smoothing and DI (Directional Index) length parameters can be customized to suit individual trading preferences.
By combining these indicators, the algorithm provides traders with a comprehensive view of the market, helping them make informed trading decisions. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential market opportunities and aligns with the objective of maximizing trading performance.
How to use the indicator:
Note: I used back-testing for fine tuning do not base your trades on signals from the testing framework.
TL_Strategy [APIDEVs]TL_STRATEGY:
The TL_STRATEGY , is a whole ecosystem of indicators that make up a quite powerful and famous strategy in cryptocurrency trading, it is composed of the following indicators:
• Exponential moving media bands (10 and 55).
• Squeeze Momentum indicator (SQZMON PRO +).
• Volume profile (VP Developed by APIDEVs).
• Average directional index ( ADX PRO +).
In ApiDev , we decided to visually optimize this strategy, that is why we created an information panel that shows the joint projection of all the indicators that we already mentioned.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN THE STRATEGY:
Simpler: We simplified the interface of all indicators [so that the trader can follow the ABCs of his strategy without much complication.
Buy and sell signals: Based on a strategy that incorporates two moving averages of 10 and 55 periods, the observation of the strength of the ADX and the directionality of the oscillators of the SQZMON, signals of buying and selling to be valued by the trader.
Side panel: We integrate a side panel that allows observing the assessment and direction of all the indicators that make up the strategy.
It has an alert system that will send notifications about the changes that occur in the indicator.
Fetch ATR + MA StrategyA trend following indicator that allows traders/investors to enter trades for the long term, as it is mainly tested on the daily chart. The indicator fires off buy and sell signals. The sell signals can be turned off as trader can decide to use this indicator for long term buy signals. The buy signals are indicated by the green diamonds, and the red diamonds show the points on then chart where the asset can be sold.
The indicator uses a couple indicators in order to generate the buy signals:
- ADX
- ATR
- Moving Average of ATR
- 50 SMA
- 200 SMA
The buy signal is generated at the cross overs of the 50 and 200 SMA's while the ATR is lower than then Moving Average of the ATR. The buy signal is fired when these conditions are met and if the ADX is lower than 30.
The thought process is as follows:
When the ATR is lower than its moving average, the price should be in a low volatilty environment. An ADX between 25 and 50 signals a Strong trend. Every value below 25 is an absent or weak trend. So entering a trade when the volatilty is still low but increasing, you'll be entering a trade at the start of a new uptrend. This mechanism also filters out lots of false signals of the simple cross overs.
The sell signals are fired every time the 50 SMA drops below the 200 SMA.
RDX Relative Directional IndexRDX Relative Directional Index, Strength + Direction + Trend. This indicator is the combination of RSI and DMI or ADX. RDX aims at providing Relative direction of the price along with strength of the trend. This acts as both RSI and Average Directional Index. as the strength grows the RSI line becomes wider and when there is high volatility and market fluctuation the line becomes thinner. Color decides the Direction. This indicator provides sideways detection of RSI signal.
RDX Width: This determines the strength of RSI and Strength of ADX, The strength grows RDX band grows wider, as strength decreases band shrinks and merge into the RSI line. for exact working simply disable RSI plot on the indicator. when there is no strength the RSI vanishes..
Technical:
RSI : with default 14 period
ADX : Default 14 period
RDX=RSI+(ADX-20)/5
Color Code:
Red: Down Direction
Green: Up Direction
Sideways:
A rectangular channel is plotted on RSI 50 Level
Oversold Overbought:
Oversold and Overbought Levels are plotted for normal RSI Oversold and Overbought detection.
Buy/Sell:
Buy sell signals from ADX crossover are plotted and its easy to determine
Strength + Direction + Trend in one go

RiverFlow ADX ScreenerRiverFlow ADX Screener, Scans ADX and Donchian Trend values across various Timeframes. This screener provides support to the Riverflow indicator. Riverflow concept is based on Two indicators. Donchian Channel and ADX or DMI.
How to implement?
1.Donchian Channel with period 20
2. ADX / DMI 14,14 threshold 20
Entry / Exit:
1. Buy/Sell Signal from ADX Crossovers.
2. Trend Confirmation Donchian Channel.
3. Major Trend EMA 200
Buy/Sell:
After a buy/sell is generated by ADX Crossover, Check for Donchian Trend. it has to be in same direction as trend. for FTT trades take 2x limit. for Forex and Stocks take 1:1.5, SL must be placed below recent swing. One can use Riverflow indicator for better results.
ADX Indicator is plotted with
Plus: Green line
Minus: Red Line
ADX strength: plotted as Background area.
TREND: Trend is represented by Green and Red Area around Threshold line
Table:
red indicates down trend
green indicates up trend
grey indicates sideways
Weak ADX levels are treated sideways and a channel is plotted on ADX and PLUS and MINUS lines . NO TRADES are to be TAKEN on within the SIDEWAYS region.
Settings are not required as it purely works on Default settings. However Donchian Length can be changed from settings.
Timeframes below 1Day are screened. Riverflow strategy works on timeframe 5M and above timeframe. so option is not provided for lower timeframes.

Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/EntriesThe Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.
ADX Filter - The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to filter out weak trends and only generate buy/sell signals when the market exhibits a strong trend. The ADX measures the strength of the trend, and a customizable threshold level ensures that trades are only entered during strong trends.
ATR-based Exits and Entries - The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set profit target and stop-loss levels. ATR is a measure of market volatility, and these levels help traders determine when to exit a trade to secure profit or minimize loss.
Performance Statistics Table - A table is displayed on the chart, recording and showing the total number of winning trades, losing trades, percentage of profitable trades, average profit, and average loss. This information helps traders evaluate the performance of the strategy over time.
The Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a powerful trend-following strategy that can assist traders in making more informed decisions in the financial markets. By combining multiple technical analysis tools and providing performance statistics, this indicator helps traders improve their trading strategy and evaluate its success.

Adaptive Fusion ADX VortexIntroduction
The Adaptive Fusion ADX DI Vortex Indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify trend strength and potential trend reversals in the market. This indicator uses a combination of technical analysis (TA) and mathematical concepts to provide accurate and reliable signals.
Features
The Adaptive Fusion ADX DI Vortex Indicator has several features that make it a powerful tool for traders. The Fusion Mode combines the Vortex Indicator and the ADX DI indicator to provide a more accurate picture of the market. The Hurst Exponent Filter helps to filter out choppy markets (inspired by balipour). Additionally, the indicator can be customized with various inputs and settings to suit individual trading strategies.
Signals
The enterLong signal is generated when the algorithm detects that it's a good time to buy a stock or other asset. This signal is based on certain conditions such as the values of technical indicators like ADX, Vortex, and Fusion. For example, if the ADX value is above a certain threshold and there is a crossover between the plus and minus lines of the ADX indicator, then the algorithm will generate an enterLong signal.
Similarly, the enterShort signal is generated when the algorithm detects that it's a good time to sell a stock or other asset. This signal is also based on certain conditions such as the values of technical indicators like ADX, Vortex, and Fusion. For example, if the ADX value is above a certain threshold and there is a crossunder between the plus and minus lines of the ADX indicator, then the algorithm will generate an enterShort signal.
The exitLong and exitShort signals are generated when the algorithm detects that it's a good time to close a long or short position, respectively. These signals are also based on certain conditions such as the values of technical indicators like ADX, Vortex, and Fusion. For example, if the ADX value crosses above a certain threshold or there is a crossover between the minus and plus lines of the ADX indicator, then the algorithm will generate an exitLong signal.
Usage
Traders can use this indicator in a variety of ways, depending on their trading strategy and style. Short-term traders may use it to identify short-term trends and potential trade opportunities, while long-term traders may use it to identify long-term trends and potential investment opportunities. The indicator can also be used to confirm other technical indicators or trading signals. Personally, I prefer to use it for short-term trades.
Strengths
One of the strengths of the Adaptive Fusion ADX DI Vortex Indicator is its accuracy and reliability. The indicator uses a combination of TA and mathematical concepts to provide accurate and reliable signals, helping traders make informed trading decisions. It is also versatile and can be used in a variety of trading strategies.
Weaknesses
While this indicator has many strengths, it also has some weaknesses. One of the weaknesses is that it can generate false signals in choppy or sideways markets. Additionally, the indicator may lag behind the market, making it less effective in fast-moving markets. That's a reason why I included the Hurst Exponent Filter and special smoothing.
Concepts
The Adaptive ADX DI Vortex Indicator with Fusion Mode and Hurst Filter is based on several key concepts. The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to measure trend strength, while the Vortex Indicator is used to identify trend reversals. The Hurst Exponent is used to filter out noise and provide a more accurate picture of the market.
In conclusion, the Adaptive Fusion ADX DI Vortex Indicator is a versatile and powerful tool for traders. By combining technical analysis and mathematical concepts, this indicator provides accurate and reliable signals for identifying trend strength and potential trend reversals. While it has some weaknesses, its many strengths and features make it a valuable addition to any trader's toolbox.

Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator [CHE]Why use the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator ?
Flat markets, where prices remain within a narrow range for an extended period, can be both critical and dangerous for traders. In a flat market, the price action becomes less predictable, and traders may struggle to find profitable trading opportunities. As a result, many traders may decide to take a break from the market until a clear trend emerges.
However, flat markets can also be dangerous for traders who continue to trade despite the lack of clear trends. In the absence of a clear direction, traders may be tempted to take larger risks or make impulsive trades in an attempt to capture small profits. Such behavior can quickly lead to significant losses, especially if the market suddenly breaks out of its flat range, causing traders to experience large drawdowns.
Therefore, it is essential to approach flat markets with caution and to have a clear trading plan that incorporates strategies for both trending and flat markets. Traders may also use technical indicators, such as the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator, to help identify flat markets and determine when it is appropriate to enter or exit a position.
The confluence between flat markets and low ADX readings can further increase the risk of trading during these periods. The ADX (Average Directional Index) is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. A low ADX reading indicates that the market is in a consolidation phase, which can coincide with a flat market. When a flat market occurs during a period of low ADX, traders should be even more cautious, as there is little to no directional bias in the market. In this situation, traders may want to consider waiting for a clear trend to emerge or using range-bound trading strategies to avoid taking excessive risks.
Introduction:
Pine Script is a programming language used for developing custom technical analysis indicators and trading strategies in TradingView. This particular script is an indicator designed to identify flat markets and low ADX conditions. In this description, we will delve deeper into the functionality of this script and how it can be used to improve trading decisions.
Description:
The first input in the script is the length of the moving average used for calculating the center line. This moving average is used to define the high and low range of the market. The script then calculates the middle value of the range by taking the double exponential moving average (EMA) of the high, low, and close prices.
The script then determines whether the market is flat by comparing the middle value of the range with the high and low values. If the middle value is greater than the high value or less than the low value, the market is not flat. If the middle value is within the high and low range, the script considers the market to be flat. The script also uses RSI filter settings to further confirm if the market is flat or not. If the RSI value is between the RSI min and max values, then the market is considered flat. If the RSI value is outside this range, the market is not considered flat.
The script also calculates the ADX (Average Directional Index) to determine whether it's in a low area. ADX is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. The script uses the ADX filter settings to define the ADX threshold value. If the ADX value is below the threshold value, the script considers the market to be in a low ADX area.
The script provides various input options to customize the display settings, including the option to show the flat market and low ADX areas. Users can choose their preferred colors for the flat market and low ADX areas and adjust the transparency levels to suit their needs.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this Pine Script indicator is designed to identify flat market and low ADX conditions, which can help traders make informed trading decisions. The script uses a range of inputs and calculations to determine the market direction, RSI filter, and ADX filter. By customizing the display settings, users can adjust the indicator to suit their preferences and improve their trading strategies. Overall, this script can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain an edge in the markets.

JSS Table - RSI, DI+, DI-, ADXSimple table to show the values for indicators which can be used to initiate trades:
RSI: Long above 55 // Short below 45 // Choppy between 45-55
DI+: Long above 25
DI-: Short above 25
Note when to avoid trend trades:
- If DI+ and DI- are both below 25 then market is choppy
- If RSI is between 45-55 then market is choppy
ADX Volume Trend
Thie indicator is a modified and upgraded version of the popular ADX tool.
ADX is used to determine the strength of a trend, and also to determine the direction in which the trend is likely to go.
With this script, I have added in the formula the usage of volume, leading to the following functionality.
The length is used to determine the period to calculate the trend strength and direction, and the average is used to then determine the oscillator and to confront the previous line.
The volume average determines how many volumes bars the indicator should use to determine if a volume bar is above or below average if volume mode is selected.
With the volume mode on, you'll get the DI+ and DI- lines, which are by default displayed as a histogram that calculates the difference between the two lines, called "Directional difference", are calculated using also the volume in the formula, multiplying the normal output by the volume multiplier. I suggest using this mode in high-volume markets.
The trend strength difference is the area calculated using the difference between the ADX line and his moving average and can be used to analyze divergences in the swing points.
It has a lot of improvements and new functionalities, like:
- Histogram to show the output at best
- Averages to compare the data
- The option to include the volume inside of the formula
- Other options and esthetic changes
This indicator is created to improve the usability of the popular ADX indicator, including the very important variable of the volumes, in fact, it's the best to use for the Volume Spread Analysis.
GKD-V Average Directional Index (ADX) [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Average Directional Index (ADX) is a Volatility/Volume module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum

█ Average Directional Index (ADX)
What is Average Directional Index (ADX)
Trading in the direction of a strong trend reduces risk and increases profit potential. The average directional index (ADX) is used to determine when the price is trending strongly. In many cases, it is the ultimate trend indicator. After all, the trend may be your friend, but it sure helps to know who your friends are.
ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used. ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two directional movement indicator (DMI) lines, but for our purposes here, we are only concerned with the ADX itself.
Signals
Traditional: ADX is above the threshold cutoff; both longs/shorts triggered when ADX is above the threshold cutoff
Crossing: ADX crosses above/below the threshold cutoff; longs or shorts are only valid on the candle where the cross happens. Both cross-ups and cross-downs are valid for both shorts and longs
Signal Modifiers
X-Bar Rule: If signals occur within XX bars, then the signal is still valid
Bars Rising: This is for traditional signals only. This requires that an upward slop of ADX be present over XX bars
Other things to note
The GKD trading system requires that a GKD-V indicator be present in the indicator chain, but the GKD-V indicator doesn't need to be active. You can turn on/off the Volatility Ratio as you wish so you can backtest your trading strategy with the filter on or off.
Additional features will be added in future releases.

Strength Index I2-SIIdea:
Enhance the Stoch RSI with DMI to get the visualization of the strength movement.
Concept:
(Note that we take the close to get the closing price).
-Combination of 2 Stoch RSI (using value K): 1 is UP, 1 is DOWN (these settings have been customized).
-Every time they cross, it calculates the direction of 3 nearly previous crossings to get the color of the current line.
-The value has been re-calculated with the processed value from ADX and DI- (That's why it can be more than 100 or -100 in some cases).
-RSI Overbuy and oversell are removed because the value could be beyond it.
How it works:
1. The line is show as the strength index of bars
- Green means the up strength is strong.
- Red means the down strength is strong.
- Gray means the previous strength is getting week.
2. This one can be used to find divergence.
3. This indicator provides a warning signal when the color of the line changes:
- Change color:
+Turn red: "Down Red"
+Turn green: "Up Green"
+Turn gray: "Down Gray"/"Up Gray"
Suitable time frames:
15m, 4h, 1D, 1W
* Please note that this logic does not attempt to predict future prices or 100% accurate signal.

Ichimoku Cloud and ADX with Trailing Stop Loss (by Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
DMI is simple to interpret. When +DI > - DI, it means the price is trending up. On the other hand, when -DI > +DI, the trend is weak or moving on the downside. The ADX does not give an indication of the direction but about the strength of the trend.
Typically values of ADX above 25 mean that the trend is steeply moving up or down, based on the -DI and +DI positioning. This script aims to capture swings in the DMI, and thus, in the trend of the asset, using a contrarian approach.
Trading on high values of ADX, the strategy tries to spot extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Values of ADX above 45 may suggest that the trend has overextended and is maybe about to reverse.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the ADX indicator to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from December 2022 and provides good returns.
A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
Cuban's Pair Trading IndexThe purpose of this indicator is to visually simplify the relationship between two assets when searching for pair trades or higher beta opportunities.
With highly correlated pairs, it can be a blessing or a curse during volatility when you're somehow stuck in the only lower beta pairs, or maybe you're market neutral and the wrong leg starts nuking.
This indicator was built as a visual way to track pair relationships.
Fundamentally, this script does the following:
Plots the relative performance of the relationship between two assets across multiple time horizons
Uses a consistent measurement of historical performance, regardless of asset -- currently standard deviations, may add log difference in the future
Plots a custom Average Directional Index on the current chart ticker for current asset contextual momentum
Plots the average 'rotation' of both the ADX and Pair Delta independently, over n numbers of rotations -- able to be specified using the 'Rotation Lookback' variable
If you've never pair traded crypto before (i.e. long $DYDX, short $ETH), you might not be aware that most highly correlated alt asset returns tend to oscillate on a low timeframe rolling basis around the performance of the majors -- and more recently, predominantly $ETH. With this in mind and using this oscillator, we can track that relationship.
Users are given the ability to adjust the following:
Comparison Asset
Fast and Slow Delta Lookbacks
Whether to wait for one bar delay during security calls
Rotation Lookback
Rotation Threshold for Pair Delta and ADX independently
ADX Lookback
Whether to utilize the ADX on the current chart ticker or also net that off against the ADX of the comparison asset
TO DO:
Aesthetic update to Pair Delta plot
Permanent fix for security call forced delay
RSI & ADX [APIDEVs]The RSI ( Relative Strength Index ) is an oscillator-type indicator used by traders who perform technical analysis to estimate the status of overbought or oversold of an asset on the stock market.
This tool gives the trader the advantage of comparing supply and demand (buying and selling), therefore, we must take into account the following interpretation for its use.
If the buy and sell index are equal, the indicator takes a percentage value of 50, which indicates that the relative forces are in equity.
As its value is over 50%, it indicates that the buyer interest is higher than the seller.
When it is less than 50%, then we must know that the selling force is greater.
It also indicates that when the RSI is above 70 on the oscillator, the price is oversold, therefore, it should exit the market.
Similarly, when the RSI is below 30, the asset is oversold, so it is considered convenient to buy.
NEW RSI & ADX
The main improvement lies in the incorporation of a script that allows to visually observe the force of the movement and that this reinforces the perception of the RSI trajectory. It is for this reason that we incorporate the Average Directional Index ( ADX ) in this indicator so that through its logic it can provide other visual elements to help traders.
In this merger we try to maintain the original design of the RSI in order to make a clean integration that does not confuse traders with another indicator.
Improvements made:
• The coloration resulting from the crossing of the DI + and DI- of the ADX was incorporated into the line that marks point 50 of this indicator.
o When the Di + is above the DI- the trend is bullish therefore the middle line of the RSI will be painted green.
o When the Di- is above the DI + the trend is bearish therefore the middle line of the RSI will be painted green.
• A green background was added for the uptrend and red for the downtrend, which is activated exclusively when the price acquires a strong trend. This highly important feature for the interpretation of this new version of the indicator was absorbed from the ADX.
• A function was added that allows showing the weakness of the RSI by changing its color from green to red as the case may be.
• Thinking of the more traditional users, a function was incorporated that allows painting the RSI in a single color.
• A color selector was incorporated that allows painting the candles based on ADX or RSI.
• Added a side panel that indicates the numerical value of the ADX and the RSI.
• As a visual improvement, an upper and lower band was created that more clearly shows the oversold and overbought state of the oscillator.
ADX_Oscillator [APIDEVs]ADX (ORIGINAL VERSION)
The ADX Indicator ( Average Directional Index ), is a non-directional oscillator type indicator, that is, it quantifies the strength of a trend regardless of its direction. In its original version, it is made up of 3 lines that represent the direction and strength of the movement:
• A line representing the ADX indicator.
• A green line representing the bullish Direction Index (DI +).
• A red line representing the Bearish Direction Index (DI-).
When the ADX is greater than 35, the market is in a strong trend, when it is between 35 and 20 the market is in trend and when it is less than 20 it indicates that the market is in range.
ADX OSCILLATOR (OUR VERSION)
At APIDEVs we really care about improving the understanding and experience of our users, which is why, in response to multiple requests, we decided to make important modifications to the ADX , which we consider to be the most powerful indicator of strength.
For many traders it was really confusing to understand that the ADX could be bullish or bearish and at the same time have the same numerical values, so in our version of the “ADX PRO +” we added colors and different intensity levels for your better understanding, however. , many needed a more explicit indicator and it is based on this request that we decided to take a leap into the incredible and that is how the “ADX OCILLATOR” was born.
We convert the ADX into a trend oscillator, now simpler and with multiple advantages which we will proceed to list:
1. The ADX was transformed into a directional oscillator whose color is based on the crossing of (DI +) and (DI-). This modification opens the door to the replacement of the Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SQZMOM) as a directional complement to the ADX .
2. A Background was added that is activated exclusively when the market has a strong upward or downward trend, specifying through its colors and intensity the type and direction of the force.
3. The original ADX parameters were adjusted to almost eliminate completely the “no trend” condition. This condition only created confusion for traders.
4. Added a system of signals based on the direction of the oscillator and the strength of the ADX .
• When the oscillator is sloping up and the ADX is green, the LONG (L) signal is activated.
• When the oscillator slopes downward and the ADX is red, the SHORT (S) signal is activated.
5. A side panel has been enabled that visually expresses the numerical value and direction of the ADX , as well as the direction of the oscillator.
6. An alert system was enabled so that traders receive notifications on all their devices:
• It is activated when the ADX changes color.
• It is activated when the Oscillator crosses the 0 point.
• It is activated when any input signal is activated.
RSI Bands [APIDEVs]RSI BANDS:
It is an exclusive product of ApiDevs, this indicator selectively integrates a series of highly advanced algorithms that aim to provide the trader with an effective and profitable trading system, based on a series of conditions that project the price direction with a reasonable probability.
This indicator bears the name of “RSI Bands”, this is because we have based this trading system on the “Relative Strength Index ( RSI )”, the strength of this indicator is centennial and we at APIDEVs have decided to focus our efforts on the development of powerful tools based on the favorite indicators of the afternoon.
WHAT IT HAS INCORPORATED:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMAs): The RSI Bands has, by default, a band composed of two moving averages of 10 and 55 exponential periods, which can be modified in the indicator menu.
• Possibility of changing the value of the EMAs.
• Function was enabled to change the color and transparency of the bands.
• Visual alerts SHORT (L) and LONG (L) were added when there is the crossing of the EMAS.
• Hull Moving Average ( HMA ) of 100 periods was also incorporated, also modifiable for those who wish to strengthen their visual analysis. (Disabled by default)
• We also add an Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) of 200 periods to mark the trend. (Disabled by default).
2. ATR ( Average True Range ): This indicator has two main functions in the RSI Bands, the first is to mark the trend of the asset and the second is to establish a margin of safety in price volatility , that is, a maximum estimate of the setbacks without this representing a change in the direction of the price.
3. RSI ( Relative Strength Index ): It was visually incorporated into the RSI Bands, the graph is obtained on the right side and its purpose is to visually indicate where the price is with respect to the RSI PRO+ indicator, offering the following improvements :
• ALERT SYSTEM: THE RSI PRO+ has the ADX incorporated into its algorithm, which allows establishing a filter that will provide reliable inputs, represented by the LONG (L) and SHORT (S) signals.
• FILTER AGAINST TREND: The signals described above will be activated according to the crossing of the RSI above the 50 point, provided that the ADX agrees with the market direction.
• Possibility of deactivating this graphical representation.
4. ADX ( Average Directional Index ): The ADX in this indicator is intended to estimate the strength of the movement, it is present in each part of the code, either to indicate the strength of the market or to serve as a filter against trend. In the same way, we apply certain exclusive improvements for this indicator:
• It was established as default values of the ADX that the Level Range was 10 and the Level Trend 25. This significantly changes the behavior of this indicator, almost completely eliminating the zone of disinterest that was usually considered.
• A function was activated to paint the sails the color of the ADX .
5. ADX Ocillator: Yes, we developed a Wave oscillator type ADX and incorporated it into this strategy. From this indicator, which we recommend using in conjunction with the RSI Bands, we extracted the LONG (L) and SHORT (S) signals. The ADX Oscillator is the improved version of the traditional ADX as it offers the following improvements:
• Its interpretation is much simpler.
• Allows you to set entry and exit signals during the trend change and during the price path.
• It has an integrated alert system.
STRATEGY PANEL:
This panel is an exclusive creation of APIDEVs, and its purpose is to parameterize five conditionals based on the indicators that make up our RSI strategy, giving the trader an immediate vision of the status of the asset analyzed considering this strategy. That is, we decided to transfer our experience of using this indicator on a panel that will project the price trajectory visually. It has the following characteristics:
• It can be placed anywhere on the screen through the main menu of the indicator, it can even be deactivated.
• It can be resized, we designed this to adapt to all types of screens, including those of mobile phones.
• It has an upper panel called "Project" which will calculate the percentage probability that the price has to take a direction based on all the indicators incorporated into the strategy. Their values range from (+ 100%) to (-100%).
STRATEGY PANEL PARAMETERS:
1. EMAs: This panel has 2 variables:
• LONG: If the fast EMA is above the slow EMA .
• SHORT: If the fast EMA is below the slow EMA .
2. RSI: This panel has 3 variables:
• LONG: The RSI should be bullish (green) and above the 50 point.
• SHORT: The RSI should be bearish (red) and be below the 50 point.
• RANK: (Range)this condition is activated when there is no concordance with the RSI condition and its crossing.
3. ATR: This panel has 2 variables:
• LONG: When the price is above the ATR.
• SHORT: When the price is below the ATR.
4. ADX: This panel has 3 variables:
• LONG: The ADX is green. That is, the DI + is above the DI-.
• SHORT: The ADX is red. That is, the DI- is above the DI +.
• RANK: ADX is below point 10.
It also has a numerical value that indicates the value of the ADX and two texts indicating the strength of the trend:
• Trend ( bullish or bearish ).
• Strong trend ( bullish or bearish ).
5. OSC: This panel has 3 variables:
• LONG: The oscillator slopes upward and the built-in ADX is green.
• SHORT: The oscillator slopes downward and the built-in ADX is red.
• RANK: The oscillator slopes downward and the built-in ADX is green and the opposite. In short, there is no coherence in the movement of the oscillator and the projection of the ADX .
