Apirine Slow RSI [LazyBear]The slow relative strength index (SRSI) indicator created by Vitali Apirine is a momentum price oscillator similar to RSI in its application and interpretation. Oscillating between 0 and 100, it generates both OB/OS signals and midline (50) cross over signals and divergences.
As author suggests, bullish/bearish divergences generated by SRSI are not as effective during strong trends. To avoid fading an established trend, the system is used in conjunction with a trend confirmation tool like ADX indicator.
You can configure the OB/OS levels, default are 70/30.

Ehlers Smoothed Adaptive Momentum [LazyBear]Bored of Ehlers yet? :) I still have plenty of Ehlers in my collection, was thinking of publishing one of his Fishers or Adaptive RVI next, but @ChartArt requested Smoothed Adaptive Momentum (SAM), so here we go...
This is my 200th script (not including the variations and other custom scripts I shared over PM). My complete list of indicators here - bit.ly
Now, about the indicator :)
This smoothed adaptive momentum is straightforward to use (per Ehlers original rules). If it crosses above zero buy the next open, if it crosses below zero sell the next open. Of course, I strongly suggest filtering the signals.
Finally, here's an Ehlers-only chart to help determine where BTC is heading :P

Ehlers Adaptive CG Indicator [LazyBear]Lets go with another adaptive indicator today. BTW, this is my 199th script (1 more and I am planning to work on my other backlogs).
This is the adaptive version of Ehlers' Center Of Gravity (CG) (already published, check "More info" below). Idea behind making something "adaptive" is to calculate it using dynamic cycle period inputs instead of static setting. In adaptive CG, Ehlers uses the dominant cycle period as the length in computation of alpha.
According to Ehlers this should be more responsive than the non-adaptive version. Buy and sell signals should often occur one bar earlier than for the non-adaptive version.
I have the usual options in place. Check out plain CC for comparison.
Here's a quick comparison between CG and Adaptive CG:

Ehlers Adaptive Cyber Cycle Indicator [LazyBear]Another famous Ehlers indicator.
This is the adaptive version of Ehlers' Cyber Cycle (CC) (already published, check "More info" below). Idea behind making something "adaptive" is to calculate it using dynamic cycle period inputs instead of static setting. In adaptive cyber cycle, Ehlers uses the dominant cycle period as the length in computation of alpha.
According to Ehlers this should be more responsive than the non-adaptive version. Buy and sell signals should often occur one bar earlier than for the non-adaptive version.

Ehlers Stochastic CG Oscillator [LazyBear]Another one from Ehlers.
Ehlers likes the idea behind StochRSI so much, he dedicated a full chapter in his book (linked below) on how stoch works with his "superlative" (his words, not mine) indicators. This is stoch of his CG oscillator.
Standard stochastic oscillator uses fixed period for calculations and does not adjust to the constantly changing market cycle length. Stochastic CG Oscillator does not have such a drawback.
Use this like normal stochRSI osc (Uncheck "Fill Osc/Trigger" option, sample chart below)

Ehlers MESA Adaptive Moving Average [LazyBear]Another one to add to Ehlers collection.
The MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) adapts to price movement based on the rate of change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator. This method features a fast attack average and a slow decay average so that composite average rapidly ratchets behind price changes and holds the average value until the next ratchet occurs. Consider FAMA (Following AMA) as the signal.
Here are some of the options:
Fill MAMA/FAMA region (ribbon mode):
Mark Crossovers:
The above options (along with the bar colors) allow this to be used as a standalone system.
BTW, John Ehlers calls MAMA, "Mother of all Adaptive Moving Averages", lemme know what you think :)

Ehlers Instantaneous Trend [LazyBear]One more to add to the Ehlers collection.
Ehlers Instantaneous Trendline, by John Ehlers, identifies the market trend by doing removing cycle component. I think, this simplicity is what makes it attractive :) To understand Ehlers's thought process behind this, refer to the PDF linked below.
There are atleast 6 variations of this ITrend. This version is from his early presentations.
Is this better than a simple HMA? May be, May be not. I will leave it to you to decide :)
I have added options to show this as a ribbon, and to color bars based on ITrend. Check out the options page.

Ehlers Center of Gravity Oscillator [LazyBear]As part of my "Ehler's Indicators week", here's one more.
CG Oscillator, by John Ehlers, provides a smoothed, essentially zero lag oscillator for identifying market turning points. The "CG" in the name of the oscillator refers to "Center Of Gravity" of the prices over the window of observation.
Entry/Exit are based on the osc/signal crossovers. Enabling the "Color bars" options helps in easily identifying crossovers.

Premier RSI Oscillator [LazyBear]This is a modified form of PSO (original idea by Lee Leibfarth), to use RSI as the input.
This provides a quick response to changes in market direction. This highly sensitive indicator allows for early anticipation of price turns and can be used to establish definitive trading zones that identify potential trading opportunities.
Entry/Exit rules are the same as PSO. Enabling bar colors makes it easy to identify the entry/exits too (Refer to my comment below for more points to keep in mind regarding colors)
Here's a comparison against normal RSI.

Ehlers Cyber Cycle Indicator [LazyBear]The Cyber Cycle Indicator, developed by John Ehlers, is used for isolating the cycle component of the market from its trend counterpart. Unlike other oscillators like RSI, Cyber Cycle Indicator's wave has a variable amplitude.
Use the osc/signal crossover for entry/exit points. You can enable highlighting the crossovers by using region fills (via options page). I have also added an option to color the bars based on this.
Actually I have lot of Ehlers indicators in my to-publish backlog, will try to prioritize them over the others in the pipeline. Lets have an Ehlers week for indicators :)

ATR Pips [LazyBear]This is ATR in pips. This was requested by user @ElixiumCapital. ATRPIPs in his words:
"ATR PIPs is useful for finding markets with your desired amount of volatility, for example I prefer to trade forex pairs with the highest amount of volatility in the past 5 days, setting the length parameter to 5 days. And setting my stop loss at 25% to 33% of the the indicators value."
I have added options to show a BB around ATR, as well as normal ATR (not in PIPs). All the parameters are configurable.

DiNapoli MACD & Stoch [LazyBear] --- Updated: May 19 2015 ----
Applicable only If you are setting up alerts:
I noticed I have switched the plot names. Histo shd be the MACD and DMACD shd be the Signal.
Replace lines 16 & 17 with these to get the correct names. NOTE that no functionality is affected, just the names.
plot(r, style=columns, color=r>0?green:red, transp=80, title="Dinapoli MACD")
plot(s, color=teal, linewidth=2, title="Trigger")
--- Original Description ---
These two indicators are from one of my favorite books - DiNapoli's Levels. These are custom MACD and Stoch used by him. There are more indicators - Detrended Osc, DisplacedMA - that he uses, will publish them all later.
The settings of normal MACD/Stoch can be tuned to obtain these DiNapoli indicators, or if you are lazy (like me!) just use these :)

Absolute Strength Index Oscillator [LazyBear]This oscillator is derived from Absolute Strength Index, originally developed by Tudor Marcelin (Art Invest).
I made it an oscillator mainly to make it easy to identify the divergences and price-flows. There is not much documentation available online for Absolute Strength Index afaik, lets hope Mr.Tudor comes across this and provides us a detailed writeup :)
Quick testing showed lots of good signals (with minimal lag). Let me know what you guys find in your testing.
Indicator options support coloring bars based on the oscillator/signal values, and a histogram-only mode.

Composite Momentum Index [LazyBear]This is a composite oscillator derived from modified 5/10/20 Chande's Dynamic Momentum Index values.
Volatility is factored in, by design. Look for OB/OS extremes and divergences.
I added the green/red ribbon look to make it easy to read :)

High-Low Index [LazyBear]-- Fixed ---
Source: pastebin.com
Fixes an issue with "Combined" mode, using wrong symbols.
--- Original ---
The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows.
Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more new highs than new lows. 0 indicates there were zero new highs (0% new highs). 100 indicates there was at least 1 new high and no new lows (100% new highs). 50 indicates that new highs and new lows were equal (50% new highs).
Readings consistently above 70 usually coincide with a strong uptrend. Readings consistently below 30 usually coincide with a strong downtrend.

Zweig Market Breadth Thrust Indicator [LazyBear]The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent.
A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength, but has not yet become overbought. This is very rare and has happened only a few times. Dr. Zweig also points out that most bull markets begin with a Breadth Thrust.
All parameters are configurable. You can draw BT for NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX or based on combined data (i.e., AMEX+NYSE+NASD). There is also a "CUSTOM" mode supported, so you can enter your own ADV/DEC symbols.

Impulse MACD [LazyBear]Impulse MACD is a modified MACD, formed by filtering out the values in a MA range (region between MAs of high and low), thereby reducing whipsaw typical in a sideways market. This is usually plotted as histogram. This also plots the traditional histogram (MACD - Signal), to help in finding entries/exits.
Use this like a traditional MACD (Zero line crossing or Signal crossing).
Colors legend:
Impulse MACD: Possible colors => Lime / Green / Orange / Red, based on the ImpulseMACD position with respect to MidLine and Signal.
Impulse MACD Signal: Maroon line.
Blue histogram: (ImpulseMACD - Signal).

Updated the source to show a connected Midline only when ConnectRanges option is enabled.
Updated src: pastebin.com
Sample chart:
---- Original Desc ----
This is a simple indicator that highlights the price ranges. Very helpful in determining a breakout.
There are many ways to incorporate this in to your strategy. One simple idea could be to buy if the price breaks above a range, when above the specified EMA, and to SELL when it breaks down from a range below the EMA.
All options are configurable. Alerts can be setup using the specified plot names.
By default it shows only the ranges, but can be configured to show the full "channel". Chart below shows connected ranges with highlights ON.
Range highlighting can be turned OFF. Chart below shows that:
Note for the pine coders:
As you probably noticed in the charts above, single range is showing 2 colors(red/green). Fill() doesn't accept a series for colors, so I worked around this using two fill() statements with a moving DUMMY line, to get this mixed color effect.

KK_Traders Dynamic Index_Bar HighlightingHey guys,
this is one of my favorite scripts as it represents a whole trading system that has given me very good results!
I have only used it on Bitcoin so far but I am sure it will also work for other instruments.
The original code to this was created by LazyBear, so all props to him for this great script!
I have linked his original post down below.
You can find the full rules to the system in this PDF (which has also been taken from LBs post):
www.forexmt4.com
Here is a short summary of the rules:
Go long when (all conditions have to be met):
The green line is above 50
The green line is above the red line
The green line is above the orange line
The close is above the upper Band of the Price Action Channel
The candles close is above its open
(The green line is below 68)
Go short when (all conditions have to be met):
The green line is below 50
The green line is below the red line
The green line is below the orange line
The close is below the lower band of the Price Action Channel
The candles close is below its open
(The green line is above 32)
Close when:
Any of these conditions aren't true anymore.
I have marked two of the rules in brackets as they seem to cut out a lot of the profits this system generates. You can choose to still use these rules by checking the box that says "Use Original Ruleset" in the options.
The system also contains rules regarding the Heiken Ashi bars. However these aren't as specific as the other rules. This is where your personal judgement comes in and this part is hard to explain. Take a look at the PDF I have linked to get a better understanding.
So far, this is just the TDI trading system and LBs script, now what have I changed?
I have incorporated the Price Action Channel to the system and changed it so that it highlights the bars whenever the system is giving a signal. As long as the bars are green the system is giving a long signal, as long as they are red the system is giving a short signal. Keep in mind that this doesn't consider the bar size of the HA bars. I recommend coloring all bars grey via the chart settings in order to be able to see the bar highlighting properly.
I have also published the Price Action Channel seperately in case some of you wish to view the Channel.
I am fairly new to creating scripts so use it with caution and let me know what you think!
