Trend Thrust Indicator - RafkaThis indicator defines the impact of volume on the volume-weighted moving average, emphasizing trends with greater volume.
What determines a security’s value? Price is the agreement to exchange despite the possible disagreement in value. Price is the conviction, emotion, and volition of investors. It is not a constant but is influenced by information, opinions, and emotions over time. Volume represents this degree of conviction and is the embodiment of information and opinions flowing through investor channels. It is the asymmetry between the volume being forced through supply (offers) and demand (bids) that facilitates price change. Quantifying the extent of asymmetry between price trends and the corresponding volume flows is a primary objective of volume analysis. Volume analysis research reveals that volume often leads price but may also be used to confirm the present price trend.
Trend thrust indicator
The trend thrust indicator (TTI), an enhanced version of the volume-weighted moving average convergence/divergence (VW-Macd) indicator, was introduced in Buff Pelz Dormeier's book 'Investing With Volume Analysis'. The TTI uses a volume multiplier in unique ways to exaggerate the impact of volume on volume-weighted moving averages. Like the VW-Macd, the TTI uses volume-weighted moving averages as opposed to exponential moving averages. Volume-weighted averages weigh closing prices proportionally to the volume traded during each time period, so the TTI gives greater emphasis to those price trends with greater volume and less emphasis to time periods with lighter volume. In the February 2001 issue of Stocks & Commodities, I showed that volume-weighted moving averages (Buff averages, or Vwmas) improve responsiveness while increasing reliability of simple moving averages.
Like the Macd and VW-Macd, the TTI calculates a spread by subtracting the short (fast) average from the long (slow) average. This spread combined with a volume multiplier creates the Buff spread

Mass Thrust OscillatorThis is a custom indicator that turns my Mass Thrust Indicator into an oscillator which is loosely based on Tushar S. Chande's Market Thrust Oscillator (Stocks & Commodities V. 10:8 (347-350))
Let me know if you would like a custom script or if you want to see me publish any other indicators!
Mass Thrust IndicatorThis is a custom indicator of mine that I based loosely on Tushar S. Chande's Market Thrust Indicator (Stocks & Commodities V. 10:8 (347-350)). Buy the stock if the indicator is green and sell when it turns red.

Dual Thrust Trading Algorithm (ps4)This is an PS4 update to the popular Dual Thrust trading algorithm posted by me some time ago (). It has been commonly used in futures, Forex and equity markets. The idea of Dual Thrust is similar to a typical breakout system, however dual thrust uses the historical price to construct update the look back period - theoretically making it more stable in any given period.

Thrust CountThis counts the number of up or down thrusts over the previous N days and creates a total (up thrust - down thrust) to produce the graph.
It also optionally will include "run days" as part of the same count.
The idea is that it gives you an indication of the strength of the current trend (and can possibly help you spot it reversing ;))
For more on thrust days see:
