Kwan – осциллятор , основанный на расчетах с индикаторами RSI, Stochastic и Momentum. По своей сути, он традиционно указывает на уровни перекупленности и перепроданности, установленные трейдером, а также окрашивает индикатор в различные цвета, показывая восходящую и нисходящую тенденцию рынка. Сигналом для индикатора ZigZag BETA может служить как смена цвета линии, так и выход его из установленных уровней. Также можно совместить оба варианта данных сигналов. Комментарий ForTrader.org: индикатор Kwan – хороший вариант осциллятора, основанный на сильных сторонах стандартных индикаторов. Неоценимым достоинством его также является тот факт, что индикатор не перерисовывается, а это значит, не меняет своих торговых сигналов. Скачать индикатор Kwan

Временной индикатор BarTimer визуализирует на графике шкалу, на которой показывается текущее положение свечи относительно ее времени открытия и закрытия. Назначение индикатора – более точный выбор моментов входа в позицию. Если совсем просто, то индикатор BarTimer показывает, как много времени осталось до закрытия свечи. Понятно, что каждый из нас может посмотреть на часы и оценить время закрытия, однако если вы работаете сразу с несколькими таймфреймами, запутаться не сложно. Комментарии ForTrader.org: BarTimer – очень удобный и наглядный индикатор . Подойдет для любой торговой стратегии, особенно для высоких временных периодов или работе с несколькими ТФ.

Индикатор ZerolagStochs реализует все функции осциллятора , при этом совмещая два осциллятора разных периодов, что позволяет добиться более целостной картины. Как и у традиционных осцилляторов у индикатора ZerolagStochs, имеются области «перекупленности» и «перепроданности», но при этом в ряде случаев сигнал на совершение сделки может возникнуть несколько раньше, чем при использовании одного осциллятора. Также сигналы индикатора ZerolagStochs можно интерпретировать по привычной стратегии пересечения двух скользящих средних с высоким и низким периодом. Параметры осциллятора ZerolagStochs вынесены во внешние, что дает возможность к их гибкой настройке. Однако необходимо знать, что все параметры довольно сильно связаны друг с другом, поэтому нужно более детально подходить…

The Multy8 indicator is a graphical display of quotes of 8 different instruments, the names of which are set as input parameters. It should be understood that the Multy8 indicator requires 9 quotes histories, so its work is resource and time consuming, especially if the selected currency pairs were not previously viewed by a trader. Therefore, at the first download it is possible incorrect display of the indicator and it will be necessary to restart it several times. Also it should be noted that the selected instruments must be open in the "market overview" window. Comment of ForTrader.org: The Multy8 indicator is interesting to work on multicurrency strategies, based on comparing the movements of several currency pairs. In other cases it will only significantly load the...

TrendlessOS is a revised and slightly modified indicator based on Joe DiNapoli's book "Trading with DiNapoli Levels". This indicator was developed for visual representation of the moments of real overbought and oversold market. Joe DiNapoli, describing this indicator, suggested using its linear form by setting the necessary levels of overbought/oversold 60%, 80% and 100%, but the histogram with color elements more clearly demonstrates the current dynamics, and this is the advantage of the indicator over the standard version. Signals of the TrendlessOS indicator are appearance of colored bars in the histogram. The green line is the crossing of 60% level, blue - 80%, red - 100%. Comment from ForTrader.org: The TrendlessOS indicator is convenient to use if you apply the trading strategy of Joe...

Master Class: Trading Strategies in Practice - Strategy 5 In the Metatrader's manual I found an interesting sentence in the description of the Williams' Percent Range (Williams' %R) indicator. Quote: "The Williams' Percent Range indicator has a curious ability to anticipate price reversals in a mysterious way. It almost always forms a peak and turns down a certain amount of time before the price peaks and turns down. Similarly, the Williams Percent Range usually forms a trough and turns up ahead of time." End of quote! After that I wanted to understand how this "curious ability" appeared in a simple mathematical formula of the indicator: %R = (MAX (HIGH (i - n)) - CLOSE (i)) / (MAX...

A steady trend in the market is a time when literally EVERYTHING works. Whatever trend indicator you take, whatever price model you use, there will always be profits in a good trend. But after every trend, there comes a flat, which begins to "devour" the profits earned during the trend. We continue to open in the direction of the old trend... and we break through the peaks, but they just break through, and then go back to flat. This is exactly the period we will talk about below. Of course, we will talk about the flat indicators or oscillators (from Latin oscillatio - oscillation). In a nutshell, an oscillator is an indicator that oscillates (swings)...

Master-class: Trading strategies in practice. Strategy 10 When studying stock trading and trading systems in particular, we are used to distinguishing two states in the market: a trend and a flat. Based on the knowledge of which of them prevails in the market, a trader makes a decision to "turn on" one or another system. For example, a trend following system - to work in a trend with wide stop-orders or without them, and with even larger TakeProfits. Or counter-trend - to work in a flat, triggered when the price approaches a significant level of support or resistance. Such a system assumes a relatively short Stop Loss and Take Profit, i.e. exit the market when the price approaches the opposite border of the flat. However on...

The overbought/oversold oscillator or Detrended Oscillator of the famous trader Joe DiNapoli is another tool for calculating overbought/oversold zones of the market. This indicator, as well as several others, has an advantage - its p/o levels will always be dynamic, i.e. they will depend on the market volatility. You will learn about the features of this dynamism in our article. About the use of the Detrended Oscillator for market exits in the book "Trading using DiNapoli levels" is enough, but how to use it to enter the market, there is not a single word. But we do not need it yet for the simple reason that for...

Master Class: Exchange Technical Indicators. Indicator 4 The Relative Strength Index, RSI indicator is one of the most popular oscillators created by Welles Wilder. RSI measures the relative change in the highest and lowest closing prices. The range of variation of the oscillator is from 0 to 100. We distinguish the following zones on the oscillator chart: - "overbought" zone - values from 75 and above are considered optimal for selling. - An "oversold" zone - values from 25 and under - is considered optimal for buying. At the strong movements of the trend the "overbought" and "oversold" zones are 80 and 20, and at the sideways movement of the price - 70 and 30 respectively. The formula for calculating the RSI indicator values...

The indicator is fresh and colored Multi Pair 16 indicator is very fresh, it was written in January 2011. It actually represents a kind of poster in a chart window showing: - the currency pair name; - brief information of MA and MACD, - plan of future movement "up and down"; - confident inscription of necessary actions of a trader - "Buy or Sell"; - percentage of currency pair growth.

Many traders actively use levels known as Pivot points. The strategy takes its roots from the traders of the "trading floor", which with the help of pivot point identified potential turning points within the day. Indicator SDX-TzPivots-alert allows you to build such levels with an accurate visual representation on the chart. Additional parameters of the SDX-TzPivots-alert indicator are the time zone of the MetaTrader 4 trading server (LocalTimeZone) and the time zone of the trading session for which you want to calculate levels (DestTime Zone). Comment of ForTrader.org: SDX-TzPivots-alert indicator is convenient for those traders who are actively building pivot levels manually, to facilitate their work. In other cases, it can be used as a supplement to the strategy. Download SDX-TzPivots-alert indicator

Normalized Volume is a market volume indicator, which is made for the main purpose of filtering false signals, which inevitably occur during a sideways movement of the market. The basis of this strength of the indicator Normalized Volume is to work with the volume and price, and the theory that the emergence of strong trend movements are usually accompanied by an increase in market volumes, so the indicator Normalized Volumе laid down filtering low and high volumes. If the signal to open a position appears above the horizontal line "1", the price movement is strong enough and the breakdown can be regarded as true. Comment from ForTrader.org: The principles of the Normalized Volume indicator are especially useful in breakout or rebound strategies, because they allow you to avoid unnecessary drawbacks....

The Bands+Fibo_True indicator is based on the same principle as the Bollinger Band. However, this modification of the indicator uses the average trading range (Average True Range) instead of the standard deviation. The external lines of the Bands+Fibo_True indicator are obtained by Fibonacci extensions 1.618, 2.618 and 4.326. Thus, this version of the indicator allows not only to trade on the pullback from the boundaries of ranges, but also to work with an actual breakdown of these boundaries, setting the targets for the price movement. Fortarder.ru comment: Bands+Fibo_True is not a bad graphical indicator, it can serve as a channel indicator for breakout and rebound strategies. You can also use it to find strong support and resistance levels. Download the Bands+Fibo_True indicator

The Morning_Fibonacci indicator is based on the tendency of the price to break through the morning opening range and form a trend in the direction of this breakdown. The indicator consists of horizontal lines of different colors, which show possible supports and resistances after the breakdown of the morning flat. These levels represent a Fibonacci grid. It is considered that the end of the flat should be taken as the beginning of the European session. In this case the level 161, for example, is reached with the highest probability (4/5). The Morning_Fibonacci indicator plots the levels 161, 261 and 423 on the price chart. ForTrader.org comment: If you use strategies on the breakdown of the morning ranges in your work, you should add this indicator as an additional filter. Download the Morning_Fibonacci indicator

RCFMA indicator visually resembles MACD, for the construction it uses three moving averages of different periods. Thus, an attempt is made to cover several trends of different duration. Signal to buy appears when the fast moving average indicates growth, ie, the red line indicator RCFMA is above zero, while the histogram must be in the positive zone - moving average is above the slow. The signal to sell occurs in the opposite situation. Comment from ForTrader.org: RCFMA - another variation on the theme of good old moving averages. If your strategy already has a trend indicator, this one will not show you anything new. Download RCFMA indicator
