Too Many Cooks trend indicatorToo many Cooks in The Kitchen
You have probably heard the adage "Too many cooks spoils the broth" before. The meaning behind it is obviously that when to many people are trying to work on the same task at once it simply devolves into a fight for control and creates a mess of the situation. But is this true for indicators is the question I had and thus I made this indicator, a simple combination of 8 random trend finding indicators I assembled (A list of these indicators and their authors will be available at the bottom of this page) . Is it any good though ? In short yes, it is a decent trend finding indicator and could likely be used in your strategy in the place of your current trend finding indicator if you so wish. However much of the versatility of the individual indicators IS lost and would not be possible to get back in this big mess of a broth, so this indicator will not be the be all end all of trend indicators nor will it be a free money machine like you may be expecting looking at the list of included indicators so the adage was correct to a degree.

ATR with EOM and VORTEXThis is a strategy, designed for long trends for stock and crypto market.
Its made of ATR for volatility, EOM for volume and VORTEX for the trend direction.
In this case on the ATR, I applied an EMA to check if current position is above the EMA -> bull trend, below ema -> bear trend
For EOM I am using the positive and negative value scale, if its positive we are in a bull movement, otherwise a bear movement.
Lastly for VORTEX, I took the min and max, and made an average, after that I am using the average and compare it with 1 value. Above 1 -> bull, belowe 1-> bear.
This strategy only goes long.
If you have any questions, let me know.
coates moving averages (cma)This indicator uses three moving averages:
2 period low simple ma
2 period high simple ma
9 period least squares ma
The trend is determined by the angle of the moving averages, current close relative the the 9 least squares ma (lsm) and the current close relative to the prior two periods high and low.
When there are consecutive closes inside the prior two candles high and low then a range is signaled:
In ranges the buy zone is between the lowest low and the lowest close of the current range. The sell zone is between the highest high and the highest close. The zones are adjusted as long as the new close is within the prior two candles range:
When price closes above the 2 high ma and the 9 lsm then a bull trend is signaled if all moving averages are angled upward (as seen at #4 in the chart above and #1 the chart below ). If the 9 lsm and / or the 2 low ma continue to angle downward, following a close above the 2 high ma and 9 lsm, then a prolonged range or reversal is expected (#2 in the chart below):
During a bull trend the buy zone is between the 2 low ma and the 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 high ma:
During dip buying opportunities price should resist closing below the 9 lsm. If there is one close below the 9 lsm then it is a canary in the coalmine that tells us to proceed with caution. This will often signal a range, based on the conditions outlined above. To avoid a prolonged range, or reversal, price needs to immediately react in the direction of the prevailing trend:
If the moving averages are angled down and the most recent close is below the 2 low ma and 9 lsm then trend is fully bearish:
During a bear trend the short zone is between the 2 high ma and 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 low ma:
When the 2 high ma angles down and the 2 low ma angles up while price closes inside both mas then it indicates a cma squeeze:
Volatility is expected in the direction of the breakout following the squeeze. In this situation traps / shakeouts are common. If there is a wick outside the cma, with a close inside, then it indicates a trap / shakeout. If there is a close outside the 2 high / low ma then it signals a breakout.
A trend is considered balanced when the 9 lsm is roughly equidistant from the 2 low and 2 high mas. If the 9 lsm crosses the 2 high or 2 low ma then it signals exhaustion / imbalance.
For a stop loss I use the prior three periods low, for bull trends, and the prior three periods high for bear trends. I would expect other reliable stops, such as the parabolic sar or bill williams fractal, to be effective as well. The default moving averages should be very effective on all timeframes and assets classes, however this indicator was developed for bitcoin with a focus on higher timeframes such as the 4h, daily and weekly.
As with any other technical indicator there will be bad signals. Proceed with caution and never risk more than you are willing to lose.
Spread Entry Balance of PowerThis is a bar chart showing the strength of a potential option spread entry using 8 conditions for each side of a trade, bull or bear.
In theory, if the SE Strength (Spread Entry Strength) is at one of the extremes of the Bear or Bull side, then a spread is prime for entry.
To calculate this, the 8 conditions receive a 1 or zero dependent on whether the condition is true (1) or false (0), and then all of those are summed. The primary gist of the strength comes from Nishant's book, or my interpretation thereof, with some additives that limits what I need to review (such as condition 8 below.)
The 8 Bull Conditions are:
1) Bollinger Bands are outside of the Keltner Channels
2) ADX is trending up
3) RSI is trending up
4) -DI is trending down
5) RSI is under 30
6) Price is below the lower Keltner Channel
7) Price is between the lower Bollinger Band and the Bollinger basis.
8) Price at one point within the last 5 bars was below the lower Bollinger Band
The 8 Bear Conditions are the inverse conditions (except the first), and the conditions are given a negative disposition (meaning they sum to -8 :)):
1) Bollinger Bands are outside of the Keltner Channels
2) ADX is trending down
3) RSI is trending down
4) +DI is trending up
5) RSI is over 70
6) Price is above the upper Keltner Channel
7) Price is between the upper Bollinger Band and the Bollinger basis.
8) Price at one point within the last 5 bars was above the upper Bollinger Band

Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO)The indicator is based on Akram El Sherbini's article "Time Cycle Oscillators" published in IFTA journal 2018 (pages 78-80) (www.ftaa.org.hk)
The SHO is a bounded oscillator for the simple harmonic index that calculates the period of the market’s cycle. The oscillator is used for short and intermediate terms and moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent. The SHO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40, respectively. At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60. The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears. The SHO oscillates between +40 and -40. The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals. In an uptrend, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market. On the contrary, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears control the market. Reaching the extreme level -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness. Mostly, the oscillator will retrace from its centerline rather than the upper boundary +40. On the other hand, reaching +60 in a downtrend is a sign of strength and the oscillator will not be able to reach its lower boundary -40.
Centerline Crossover Tactic
This tactic is tested during uptrends. The buy signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross their centerlines to the upside. The sell signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross down their centerlines. To define the uptrend in the system, stocks closing above their 50-day EMA are considered while the ADX is above 18.
Uptrend Tactic
During uptrends, the bulls control the markets, and the oscillators will move above their centerline with an increase in the period of cycles. The lower boundaries and equilibrium line crossovers generate buy signals, while crossing the upper boundaries will generate sell signals. The “Re-entry” and “Exit at weakness” tactics are combined with the uptrend tactic. Consequently, we will have three buy signals and two sell signals.
Sideways Tactic
During sideways, the oscillators fluctuate between their upper and lower boundaries. Crossing the lower boundary to the upside will generate a buy signal. On the other hand, crossing the upper boundary to the downside will generate a sell signal. When the bears take control, the oscillators will cross down the lower boundaries, triggering exit signals. Therefore, this tactic will consist of one buy signal and two sell signals. The sideway tactic is defined when stocks close above their 50-day EMA and the ADX is below 18

Multi Timeframe ADX and DI w/ AlertsThis script is based off the public DMI code and used to get a quick visual of trend and direction across 3 different timeframes. Alert conditions have been setup for trend changes to bull/bear for all 3 timeframes. This script is meant to pull together the concepts of multi-time frame indicators, custom functions, and custom alert conditions.
The primary instructions for this script was to find a version of the ADX Indicator and give it the same treatment as we did with the Heiken Ashi demo (displaying green/red/gray circles to indicate trend and direction) over a configurable time frame. Display a matrix of each timeframe and the corresponding directional color (green=bull, red=bear, gray=non-trending). Have it produce an alert when the state of indicator changes to either bull or bear.
Elder impulse system with double exponential moving average dema
This version of impulse uses the double exponential moving average instead of the typical ema both to calculate macd and the moving slow and fast moving average that are plotted.
The impulse system :
The Impulse System combines two simple but powerful indicators.
One measures market inertia, the other its momentum. When both
point in the same direction, they identify an impulse worth following.
We get an entry signal when both indicators get in gear.
The Impulse System uses an exponential moving average to find
uptrends and downtrends. When the EMA rises, it shows that inertia
favors the bulls. When EMA falls, inertia works for the bears. The sec-
ond component is MACD-Histogram, an oscillator whose slope reflects
changes of power among bulls or bears. When MACD-Histogram rises,
it shows that bulls are becoming stronger. When it falls, it shows that
bears are growing stronger.
The Impulse System flags those bars where both the inertia and the
momentum point in the same direction. When both the EMA and
MACD-Histogram rise, they show that bulls are roaring and the uptrend
is accelerating.

The SafeZone Stop :
Once in a trade, where should you put your stop? This is one of the
hardest questions in technical analysis. After answering it, you’ll face
an even harder one—when and where to move that stop with the pas-
sage of time. Put a stop too close and it’ll get whacked by some mean-
ingless intraday swing. Put it too far, and you’ll have very skimpy
protection.
The Parabolic System, described in Trading for a Living, tried to
tackle this problem by moving stops closer to the market each day,
accelerating whenever a stock or a commodity reached a new extreme.
The trouble with Parabolic was that it kept moving even if the market
stayed flat and often got hit by meaningless noise.
SafeZone trails prices with stops tight enough to protect
capital but remote enough to keep clear of most random fluctuations.
Engineers design filters to suppress noise and allow the signal to come
through. If the trend is the signal, then the countertrend motion is the
noise. When the trend is up, we can define noise as that part of each
day’s range that protrudes below the previous day’s low. When the trend
is down, we can define noise as that part of each day’s range that pro-
trudes above the previous day’s high. SafeZone measures market noise
and places stops at a multiple of noise level away from the market.
We can make our lookback period 100 days or so if we want to aver-
age long-term market behavior.
SafeZone offers an original approach to placing stops. It monitors
changes in prices and adapts stops to the current levels of activity. It
places stops at individually tailored distances rather than at obvious
support and resistance levels.
Absolute Strength MTF IndicatorIntroduction
The non-signal version of the absolute strength indicator from fxcodebase.com requested by ernie76 . This indicator originally from mt4 aim to estimate the bullish/bearish force of the market by using various methods.
The Indicator
Two lines are plotted, a bull line (blue) representing the bullish/buying force and a bear one (red) representing the bearish/selling force, when the bull line is greater than the bear line the market is considered to be strongly bullish, else strongly bearish.
The indicator use various method, Rsi, stochastic, adx. The Rsi method is the one by default.
The stochastic method is less reactive but smoother
The Adx method is way different, while the other two methods make the bull and bear lines somewhat uncorrelated, the adx method focus more on the overall market strength than individual buyer/seller strength.
The smoothing method use 3 different filters, SMA, EMA and LSMA, LSMA is more reactive than the two previous one while EMA is just more computer efficient.
It is possible to use price data of different time frames for the calculation of the indicator.
Stochastic method with 4 hour price close as source.
Conclusion
A classic indicator who can be derived into a lot of ways using a more adaptive architecture or recursion. Hope you find it a use :)
A big thanks to ernie76 for the request and the support/testing of the indicator
Feel free to pm me for any request.
10/5 Weekly/Daily EMAs with ConfirmationsPlots Daily and Weekly 10 & 5 EMAs (but fully customizable to your own).
In addition to plotting the EMAs it color coordinates trend bias and has cross confirmation signals.
Philosophy and how to read:
I use this indicator when trading strictly on the daily timeframe. I have not tested it on other timeframes.
In my trade system I start with both the monthly and weekly charts to define overall bias.
Here’s the general rule of thumb.
10 EMA is direction (bias) and 5 EMA is price.
If 5EMA is below 10EMA there is a bear bias. If 5EMA is above 10EMA there is a bull bias.
This indicator will plot both the daily and weekly 10 & 5 EMAs.
It will also color code the background based on how these EMAs relate to each other.
Light red typically is just the daily is confirmed bear (typically because it could be either or)
Dark red, both daily and weekly in confirmed bear.
Light green, typically just daily is confirmed bull (typically because it could be either or)
Dark green, both daily and weekly in confirmed bull.
In addition to background highlight there is confirmation crosses.
The daily confirmation cross is default yellow triangle.
Down triangle is 5 crossing the 10 downward.
Up triangle is the 5 crossing the 10 upward.
The weekly confirmation is the same only is aqua color.
Generally, on a color change you want to see one or both confirmation in the direction of the bias change.
If you only want to plot the daily bias in the options unclick the setting: Include Weekly Background Plotting. Unclicking this will remove the background coloring for the weekly bias. This might be helpful if you only want to see the strength of what the weekly timeframe is telling you.
Also, I’m primarily a trend trader but I also do have a reversal system I trade with lower R:R parameters.
A good reversal confirmation signal I’ve noticed is the instrument that you are trading should go through a cycle of light color to dark color.
You could also create alerts with this indicator based on just signals. When the signal fires the value will be 1.
Future Updates:
I want to find some way to correlate the distance between these EMAs to enhance the signal. Also to include a velocity component. Plus a few more things.

: Volume Zone Oscillator & Price Zone Oscillator LB Update JRMThis is a simple update of Lazy Bear's " Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone Indicator" Script. PZO plots on the same indicator. The horizontal plot lines are taken primarily from two articles by Wahalil and Steckler "In The Volume Zone" May 2011, Stocks and Commodities and "Entering The Price Zone"June 2011, Stocks and Commodities. With both indicators on the same plot it is easier to see divergences between the indicators. I did add a plot line at 80 and -80 as well because that is getting into truly extreme price/volume territory where one might contemplate a close your eyes and sell or cover particularly if confirmed at a higher time frame with the expectation of some type of corrective move..
The inputs and plot lines can be edited as per Lazy Bear's original script and follows the original format. Many thanks to Lazy Bear.
