Zigzag is a technical indicator used to identify and highlight significant changes in price trends or price swings. It helps traders visualize the overall direction of the market by smoothing out minor price fluctuations and focusing on major price movements. The Zigzag indicator connects significant highs and lows on a chart, ignoring smaller price movements in between.

The Vortex Oscillator is a technical indicator that aims to capture both the direction and strength of a price trend. It is based on the concept of vortex movements, which are defined as positive and negative price movements within a given period.

The Vortex Oscillator calculates two lines: the Positive Vortex Line (VI+) and the Negative Vortex Line (VI-)

Vortex Oscillator

The Volatility Stop is a technical indicator designed to help traders identify potential stop-loss levels based on market volatility. It provides a dynamic trailing stop that adjusts according to the price volatility of an asset. The indicator aims to protect profits by tightening the stop-loss during periods of low volatility and widening it during periods of high volatility.

Volatility Stop (VStop)

The TSI Ergodic indicator is an enhanced version of the True Strength Index (TSI) that aims to provide a smoother and more accurate representation of market trends and potential reversals. It was developed by William Blau and is designed to reduce noise and increase the responsiveness of the TSI.

The Ergodic TSI line is plotted on a chart and oscillates around a centerline, typically at zero. It can take positive or negative values.

TSI Ergodic

Stochastic RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a technical indicator that combines the concepts of both Stochastic Oscillator and RSI to provide insights into overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It aims to offer a more sensitive and responsive measure of market momentum and potential reversal points.

The Stochastic RSI indicator calculates the RSI values and then applies the Stochastic formula to those values.

The Keltner Channel is a technical analysis indicator that helps identify price volatility, potential breakouts, and trend reversals. It is similar to Bollinger Bands but uses different calculations and interpretations. The Keltner Channel consists of three lines: the middle line, upper channel line, and lower channel line.

Keltner Channel

The Hull Moving Average (HMA) is a popular technical indicator that aims to provide a smoother and more responsive moving average by using a weighted calculation method. It was developed by Alan Hull and is designed to reduce lag and improve trend identification compared to traditional moving averages.

The Hull Moving Average aims to provide a smoother line compared to other moving averages while maintaining a good response to price changes.

The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator designed to identify potential reversals in price trends and to generate buy and sell signals. The Fisher Transform uses a mathematical transformation to convert price data into a Gaussian probability distribution, making it easier to identify extreme price values and turning points.

Fisher Transform

The Ease of Movement (EOM) indicator is a technical analysis tool that measures the relationship between price changes and trading volume to assess the ease of price movement in a financial market. It helps traders identify potential bullish or bearish signals based on the relationship between price and volume.

The Ease of Movement indicator aims to provide insights into the strength and sustainability of price trends by considering the volume of trades accompanying price movements.

Ease of Movement

Donchian Channels, also known as Donchian Channels or Price Channels, are a popular technical analysis tool used to identify the current price's trading range and potential breakouts.

pper Channel Line: This line represents the highest price observed over a specified period, typically a certain number of days. It forms the upper boundary of the price channel.

Lower Channel Line: This line represents the lowest price observed over the same specified period. It forms the lower boundary of the price channel.

Middle Channel Line: The middle line is the simple average of the upper and lower channel lines. It helps provide a reference point for the current price within the trading range.

Donchian Channels

The Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) is a technical indicator used to analyze and identify cycles or patterns in price movements by removing the overall trend component from the price series. It aims to highlight shorter-term price cycles and potential overbought or oversold conditions.

Detrented Price Oscillator

It is a composite indicator that combines elements of three popular indicators: Relative Strength Index (RSI), UpDown Length, and Rate of Change (ROC). Connors RSI aims to provide a comprehensive view of both momentum and mean reversion characteristics in a single indicator.

The Choppiness Index is based on the concept that trending markets tend to have longer and smoother price movements, while choppy or sideways markets exhibit shorter and more volatile price swings.



Choppiness Index

The SuperTrend indicator consists of two main components: the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier. The ATR measures the volatility of the market and is used to calculate the distance of the SuperTrend line from the price. The multiplier determines the sensitivity of the indicator to changes in price.

Super Trend

The indicator consists of two main components: the dominant cycle and the restoring filter. The dominant cycle estimates the period of the underlying trend in the market. This is achieved using digital signal processing techniques, such as the Hilbert transform or the Maximum Entropy Method, to extract the dominant cycle from the price data.

Restoring Pull

The Nadaraya-Watson envelope is a type of moving average calculated by taking a weighted average of data points over a period of time. 

The envelope is created by drawing two lines (one above and one below) parallel to the moving average at a user-defined percentage distance. Top and bottom lines form a “band” around the moving average that can be used to identify potential trend changes and generate trading signals.

Nadaraya Watson Envelope

HLC Trend Indicator is a simple trend-following forex trading indicator, used to determine the market trends in crossover methods. 

This indicator uses a single indicator window and plots the signals in a much convenient method so that everybody can read its signals. Besides, it can also be added to other trend-based strategies as a trend filter.

HLC Trend

Time segmented volume (TSV) is a technical analysis indicator that segments a stock's price and volume according to specific time intervals. The price and volume data is then compared to uncover periods of accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling).

deal entry and exit points are commonly found as the stock moves across the baseline level. This indicator is similar to on-balance volume (OBV) because it measures the amount of money flowing in or out of a particular stock.

Time Segmented Volume (TSV)

RSI is a momentum oscillator that compares the magnitude of a stock's recent gains to the magnitude of its recent losses and turns that information into a number that ranges from zero to one hundred. RSI is an overbought-oversold indicator. Stocks with high RSI values can be interpreted as having overbought positions; stocks with low RSI values can be interpreted as having oversold positions.

Wilder's RSI

The Weighted Deviation Bands Forex Indicator works similar to Bollinger Bands but it uses the linear weighted average for its calculations.

The indicator draws the Weighted Deviation bands on the chart and they can provide both accurate trade entry and exit signals. During low volatile markets, the Weighted Deviation bands channel will be narrow while it will widen during high volatile markets.

Weighted Deviation Bands

The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) is a technical indicator that provides trading signals by identifying trends and trend reversals. At its core, ALMA uses moving averages but historically speaking, moving averages are known to have drawbacks, especially when it comes to accuracy and speed.  This includes simple and exponential moving averages. 

ALMA reduces the noise that can interfere when using traditional moving averages by calculating each moving average simultaneously, from right to left and the other from left to right.

ALMA

The advance/decline line (or A/D line) is a technical indicator that plots the difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks on a daily basis. The indicator is cumulative, with a positive number being added to the prior number, or if the number is negative it is subtracted from the prior number.

The A/D line is used to show market sentiment, as it tells traders whether there are more stocks rising or falling. It is used to confirm price trends in major indexes, and can also warn of reversals when divergence occurs.

Advance / Decline Line

The market facilitation index is an indicator that measures the strength or weakness behind movements of the price of an asset.

The MFI indicator can help you decide when a price trend is strong enough to justify trading it, when a new trend may be about to start and when to avoid entering trades altogether.

It does this by looking at changes in the size of price moves and whether the trading volume is rising or falling.

Market Facilitation Index

The Bill Williams Gator Oscillator is an indicator that the famous trader it was named after developed in concert with several other indicators. The Gator Oscillator helps determine whether a market is in a trend or if it’s simply consolidating. It’s used to decide when to enter and exit a trade, as timing in trading is crucial. 

 

The Gator Oscillator is typically used in conjunction with the Alligator Indicator, as a secondary indicator. The Alligator Indicator is simply three simple moving averages in the 5, 9, and 13 variety shifted forward in order to smooth out the readings

Gator Oscillator

The fractal indicator is based on a simple price pattern that is frequently seen in financial markets. Outside of trading, a fractal is a recurring geometric pattern that is repeated on all time frames. From this concept, the fractal indicator was devised. The indicator isolates potential turning points on a price chart. It then draws arrows to indicate the existence of a pattern.

The bullish fractal pattern signals the price could move higher. A bearish fractal signals the price could move lower. Bullish fractals are marked by a down arrow, and bearish fractals are marked by an up arrow.

Fractals

The Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator is an indicator that traders use to measure momentum in a market. Like all indicators, it is typically used as part of a larger trading system.

The oscillator is generally used to confirm a trend but can also be used to anticipate a potential reversal of the trend. As an oscillator, it will fluctuate above and below the zero line which is considered neutral. In its standard form, the histogram will print out in red or green bars, with the bar turning green when its value is higher than the one before it.



Awesome Oscillator

The Alligator indicator uses three smoothed moving averages, set at five, eight, and 13 periods, which are all Fibonacci numbers. The initial smoothed average is calculated with a simple moving average (SMA), adding additional smoothed averages that slow down indicator turns.

The three moving averages comprise the Jaw, Teeth, and Lips of the Alligator, opening, and closing in reaction to evolving trends and trading ranges:

Jaw (blue line): Starts with the 13-bar SMMA and is smoothed by eight bars on subsequent values.

Teeth (red line): Starts with the eight-bar SMMA and is smoothed by five bars on subsequent values.

Lips (green line): Starts with the five-bar SMMA and is smoothed by three bars on subsequent values.

The Accelerator Oscillator is one of several popular indicators developed by the well-known technical analyst Bill Williams.

Williams maintained that the direction of momentum will always change before the price, so that, by looking at momentum as well as price, traders can gain an advantage. The Accelerator Indicator seeks to go one step further and detect early changes in momentum – that is, when momentum is accelerating or decelerating. 



Accelerator Oscillator

If the price of a security falls, but only on low volume, there may be other factors at work aside from a true bear turn. For example, some market makers or other participants are away on vacation leading to less liquidity than usual, or buyers are waiting for the price to move slightly lower before entering bids. Either way, down volume reflects a condition where the price moves down along with increases in trading volume that confirms the price move lower.

Volumes

On-balance volume (OBV), creates a running total of positive and negative trading volume for a stock or security. One of the original momentum oscillators, OBV spawns from Joe Granville's theory that volume precedes price in an instructive, measurable fashion. The formula's calculation is simple, rising whenever volume on up days is greater than volume on down days and vice versa.

On Balance Volume

The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100.

Money Flow Index

The accumulation/distribution indicator (A/D) is a cumulative indicator that uses volume and price to assess whether a stock is being accumulated or distributed. The A/D measure seeks to identify divergences between the stock price and the volume flow. This provides insight into how strong a trend is. If the price is rising but the indicator is falling, then it suggests that buying or accumulation volume may not be enough to support the price rise and a price decline could be forthcoming.

Accumulation / Distribution

Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to find entry and exit points in the market. The indicator is very similar to the Stochastic oscillator and is used in the same way. It was developed by Larry Williams and it compares a stock’s closing price to the high-low range over a specific period, typically 14 days or periods.

When the indicator is between -20 and zero the price is overbought, or near the high of its recent price range. When the indicator is between -80 and -100 the price is oversold, or far from the high of its recent range.


Willams' Percent Range

The triple exponential average (TRIX) is a momentum indicator used by technical traders that shows the percentage change in a moving average that has been smoothed exponentially three times. The triple smoothing of moving averages is designed to filter out price movements that are considered insignificant or unimportant. TRIX is also implemented by technical traders to produce signals that are similar in nature to the moving average convergence divergence (MACD).

TRIX calculates a triple exponential moving average of the log of the price input over the period of time specified by the length input for the current bar. The current bar's value is subtracted by the previous bar's value. This prevents cycles that are shorter than the period defined by length input from being considered by the indicator.

TRIX

The stochastic oscillator is range-bound, meaning it is always between 0 and 100. This makes it a useful indicator of overbought and oversold conditions.

Traditionally, readings over 80 are considered in the overbought range, and readings under 20 are considered oversold. However, these are not always indicative of impending reversal; very strong trends can maintain overbought or oversold conditions for an extended period. Instead, traders should look to changes in the stochastic oscillator for clues about future trend shifts.

Stochastic Oscillator

The Relative Vigor Index (RVI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the strength of a trend by comparing a security's closing price to its trading range while smoothing the results using a simple moving average (SMA).

The RVI's usefulness is based on the observed tendency for prices to close higher than they open during uptrends, and to close lower than they open in downtrends.

Relative Vigor Index

The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security.

The RSI can do more than point to overbought and oversold securities. It can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought situation. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.

Relative Straight Index (RSI)

OsMA is an abbreviation for the term oscillator of a moving average (MA). The OsMA is a technical indicator that shows the difference between an oscillator and its moving average over a given period of time.

The MACD is the most common oscillator used in the OsMA indicator, although any oscillator can be used. The MACD has a built-in moving average, which is the signal line. The signal line is an average of the MACD line. The OsMA is the difference or space between these two lines, usually drawn as a histogram. It can provide trend confirmation as well as possible trade signals.

Moving Average of Oscillator

Momentum is the rate of acceleration of a security's price—that is, the speed at which the price is changing. Market momentum refers to the aggregate rate of acceleration for the broader market as a whole.

Market momentum can be used as a measure of overall market sentiment that can support buying and selling with and against market trends. It is one of several indicators that can help an investor to follow price trends.

Momentum

Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD, or MAC-D) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of a security’s price. The MACD line is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA.

The result of that calculation is the MACD line. A nine-day EMA of the MACD line is called the signal line, which is then plotted on top of the MACD line, which can function as a trigger for buy or sell signals. Traders may buy the security when the MACD line crosses above the signal line and sell—or short—the security when the MACD line crosses below the signal line. MACD indicators can be interpreted in several ways, but the more common methods are crossovers, divergences, and rapid rises/falls.

MACD

The force index is a technical indicator that measures the amount of power used to move the price of an asset.  It uses price and volume to determine the amount of strength behind a price move. The index is an oscillator, fluctuating between positive and negative territory. It is unbounded meaning the index can go up or down indefinitely. It is used for trend and breakout confirmation, as well as spotting potential turning points by looking for divergences.

Force Index

The DeMarker (or DeMark) indicator, also known by the abbreviation "DeM," is a technical analysis tool that compares the most recent maximum and minimum prices to the previous period's equivalent price to measure the demand of the underlying asset. From this comparison, it aims to assess the directional trend of the market.

 This indicator is often used in combination with other signals and is generally used to determine price exhaustion, identify market tops and bottoms, and assess risk levels. Although the DeMarker indicator was originally created with daily price bars in mind, it can be applied to any time frame since it is based on relative price data.

DeMarker

The Commodity Channel Index​ (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold. 

This technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.

Commodity Channel Index

The oscillator measures the accumulation-distribution line of moving average convergence-divergence (MACD).

The Chaikin oscillator is a tool for technical analysts more than for fundamental analysts, who study a company’s business performance to garner information about the future direction of its stock price. Fundamental analysts believe that the skill needed to forecast the market is about being the most informed. Technical analysts believe that all known information is already priced into stocks and that patterns in the ups and downs of equity prices can better predict the market’s movements. Technical analysts use the Chaikin oscillator to find directional trends in momentum.

The Bull Power and Bear Power are oscillators , they measure the power of buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears) to push the price in their favor. The two indicators combined are known as Elder-Ray Index. The function of a baseline is often performed by a 13-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of closing prices.  

The logic is simple: the market situation is constantly changing as bears turn into bulls and vice versa. The indicators help to track this conversion and trade on it. 

Bulls Power and Bears Power are useful ways to look at the price and see the strength behind the market. Bulls Power measures the capability of buyers in the market, to lift prices above an average consensus of value.

Bears Power measures the capability of sellers, to drag prices below an average consensus of value. Using them in tandem with a measure of trend allows you to identify favourable entry points.

The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.

The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.

Traders can use shorter periods than 14 days to generate more trading signals, while longer periods have a higher probability to generate fewer trading signals.

Average True Range (ATR)

The variable index dynamic average (VIDYA, for short is an adaptive moving average, which means that it not only smooths the price but also adapts to market volatility. The indicator uses the standard deviation to adapt to the market volatility.

Variable Index Dynamic Average

The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) was designed to smooth price fluctuations, thereby making it easier to identify trends without the lag associated with traditional moving averages (MA). It does this by taking multiple exponential moving averages (EMA) of the original EMA and subtracting out some of the lag.

The TEMA is used like other MAs. It can help identify trend direction, signal potential short-term trend changes or pullbacks, and provide support or resistance. The TEMA can be compared with the double exponential moving average (DEMA).

TEMA

Standard Deviation is the statistical measure of price volatility, measuring how widely prices are dispersed from the average price. Dispersion is the difference between the actual price and the average price. 

Standard deviation is also a measure of volatility. If prices trade in a narrow trading range, the standard deviation will return a low value that indicates low volatility. If prices trade in a wide range, swing wildly up and down, then standard deviation returns a high value that indicates high volatility.

Standard Deviation

The parabolic SAR, or parabolic stop and reverse, is a popular indicator that is mainly used by traders to determine the future short-term momentum of a given asset.

The parabolic SAR indicator is graphically shown on the chart of an asset as a series of dots placed either over or below the price (depending on the asset's momentum). A small dot is placed below the price when the trend of the asset is upward, while a dot is placed above the price when the trend is downward.

Parabolic SAR

In finance, a moving average (MA) is a stock indicator commonly used in technical analysis. The reason for calculating the moving average of a stock is to help smooth out the price data by creating a constantly updated average price.

By calculating the moving average, the impacts of random, short-term fluctuations on the price of a stock over a specified time frame are mitigated. Simple moving averages (SMAs) use a simple arithmetic average of prices over some timespan, while exponential moving averages (EMAs) place greater weight on more recent prices than older ones over the time period.

Moving Average

Also called the equilibrium chart, it is new to the mainstream but has risen in popularity among novice and experienced traders. Known for its applications in futures and equities, the Ichimoku shows more data points, which provide a more reliable price action.

The application offers multiple tests and combines three indicators into one chart. This allows a trader to make the most informed decisions about their investments.

The fractal adaptive moving average, FRAMA, tracks price closely. But when there is increased volatility, the indicator will slow down. The indicator can pinpoint market turning points and help reduce noise from price movements.

The main advantage of the fractal adaptive moving average over the traditional moving average is that it tends to slow down when the market enters a range but quickly catch up when there is an explosive trend. This makes it rather useful to ride massive trends.

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average

Envelopes Technical Indicator is formed with two Moving Averages, one of which is shifted upward and another one is shifted downward. The selection of optimum relative number of band margins shifting is determined with the market volatility: the higher the latter is, the stronger the shift is.

Envelopes define the upper and the lower margins of the price range. Signal to sell appears when the price reaches the upper margin of the band; signal to buy appears when the price reaches the lower margin.

The logic behind envelopes is that overzealous buyers and sellers push the price to the extremes (i.e., the upper and lower bands), at which point the prices often stabilize by moving to more realistic levels.

Envelopes

The double exponential moving average (DEMA) is a technical indicator devised to reduce the lag in the results produced by a traditional moving average. Technical traders use it to lessen the amount of "noise" that can distort the movements on a price chart.

Like any moving average, the DEMA is used to indicate the trend in the price of a stock or other asset. By tracking its price over time, the trader can spot an uptrend—when the price moves above its average, or a downtrend—when the price moves below its average. When the price crosses the average, it may signal a sustained change in the trend.

DEMA

A Bollinger Band® is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines. They are plotted as two standard deviations, both positively and negatively, away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price and can be adjusted to user preferences.

Bollinger Bands® is a popular technique. Many traders believe the closer the prices move to the upper band, the more overbought the market, and the closer the prices move to the lower band, the more oversold the market. John Bollinger has a set of 22 rules to follow when using the bands as a trading system.

Bollinger Bands

What Is Wilder's DMI (ADX) Indicator?
Wilder’s DMI (ADX) consists of three indicators that measure a trend’s strength and direction. Three lines compose the Direction Movement Index (DMI): ADX (black line), DI+ (green line), and DI- (red line). The Average Directional Index (ADX) line shows the strength of the trend. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The color of the lines can be altered, but black, green, and red are the default in most software.

The Plus Direction Indicator (DI+) and Minus Direction Indicator (DI-) show the current price direction. When the DI+ is above DI-, the current price momentum is up. When the DI- is above DI+, the current price momentum is down.

Average Directional Index Wilder

The average directional index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend.


The trend can be either up or down, and this is shown by two accompanying indicators, the negative directional indicator (-DI) and the positive directional indicator (+DI). Therefore, the ADX commonly includes three separate lines.



These are used to help assess whether a trade should be taken long or short, or if a trade should be taken at all.
