The Relative Momentum Index (RMI) was developed by Roger Altman. Impressed with the Relative Strength Index's sensitivity to the number of look-back periods, yet frustrated with it's inconsistent oscillation between defined overbought and oversold levels, Mr. Altman added a momentum component to the RSI. As mentioned, the RMI is a variation...
This technique was described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples....
A modified DMI, This turns the standard DMI into an Oscillator. The DMI cross signal is the same, but as an OSC you get the added benefits or finding divergences, etc. The added WIlder's Average Line (blue) can help you see if a short term trend is getting less interesting.
An open source version of the DMI. Mostly published for other scripters to modify. Typical useage: www.investopedia.com
The currency index represents the change in one currency by reference to all other foreign currencies. The index is calculated by taking the average of the variations in one currency by reference to the others. Represented in graphical form, it allows for easy visualization of the individual trends in each currency. The index of the currencies is a simple...
The Accumulation Swing Index is a cumulative total of the Swing Index. The Accumulation Swing Index was developed by Welles Wilder. The SwingIndex function was developed to help cut through the maze of Open, High, Low and Close prices to indicate the real strength and direction of the market. The Swing Index function looks at the Open, High, Low and ...
Krivo index, suggested by Richard Krivo, tries to quantify the "strength" of a currency by checking how many of its pairs are trading strongly (close above 200sma). As you can see from the chart, KI gives an excellent overview of their strength. Note how it correctly points out the JPY crash (Nov 2012). I decided to implement KI for each currency separately to...
The theory behind the indexes is as follows: On days of increasing volume, you can expect prices to increase, and on days of decreasing volume, you can expect prices to decrease. This goes with the idea of the market being in-gear and out-of-gear. Both PVI and NVI work in similar fashions: Both are a running cumulative of values, which...
Smart money index (SMI) or smart money flow index is a technical analysis indicator demonstrating investors sentiment. The index was invented and popularized by money manager Don Hays. The indicator is based on intra-day price patterns. The main idea is that the majority of traders (emotional, news-driven) overreact at the beginning of the trading day because...
The Market Facilitation Index is an indicator that relates price range to volume and measures the efficency of price movement. Use the indicator to determine if the market is trending. If the Market Facilitation Index increased, then the market is facilitating trade and is more efficient, implying that the market is trending. If the Market...
In essence, it is simply the standard deviation of the last x bars of a y-bar moving average. Thus, the TAI is a simple trend indicator when prices trend with authority, the slope of the moving average increases, and when prices meander in a trendless range, the slope of the moving average decreases.
The RVI is a modified form of the relative strength index (RSI). The original RSI calculation separates one-day net changes into positive closes and negative closes, then smoothes the data and normalizes the ratio on a scale of zero to 100 as the basis for the formula. The RVI uses the same basic formula but substitutes the 10-day...

The SwingIndex function was developed to help cut through the maze of Open, High, Low and Close prices to indicate the real strength and direction of the market. The Swing Index function looks at the Open, High,...
The Mass Index was designed to identify trend reversals by measuring the narrowing and widening of the range between the high and low prices. As this range widens, the Mass Index increases; as the range narrows the Mass Index decreases. The Mass Index was developed by Donald Dorsey.
