XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy. Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade. My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength. My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions: the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength. The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value. ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values. The scripts shows a lot of graphical information: The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade. the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end)) the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue How to use this strategy? Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR). Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters) Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock. Do the same for other stocks. Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades! Here are the parameters: Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20) Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100) Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120) Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20) Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100) Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120) Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20) Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing): BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20 NetProfit: 996%, #Trades: 6, %Profitable: 83%, Buy&HoldProfit: 78% BAR(Barco): EMA-Buy=16, SMA-Buy=80, Strength-Buy=44, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=82, Stop#ATR=9 NetProfit: 385%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 55% AAPL(Apple): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=40, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=106, Stop#ATR=8 NetProfit: 6900%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 2938% TNET(Telenet): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=27, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=70, Stop#ATR=14 NetProfit: 129%, #Trade

Currency StrengthRepublished: The original script violated house rules by including an external link to Backtest Rookies. Background The currency strength indicator takes up to 4 forex pairs and calculates the average strength across all pairs. The indicator uses the pair's daily percentage change to calculate the overall strength. For flexibility, it can accept any instrument as an input. This means you can use multiple instances to track various currency strengths. It was designed with the major pairs in mind but there is no reason why it cannot be used for other FX pairs. Note: The indicator defaults to GBP. When setting it up for other currencies, be sure to flag whether the currency is a counter currency or not. The code is provided free and open source. Please modify it as you see fit. Screenshots Defaults with Annotation Yen strength beating pound strength Opposing Trends

Trend Strength IndicatorThis indicator uses Heiken Ashi candle data to plot trend strength signals to your chart. Bright Green: Heiken Ashi candle data is still putting in higher lows and higher highs, and the price closed above the previous low. Dark Green: Heiken Ashi candle closed green, but had a lower low or lower high (trend weakening). Bright Red: Heiken Ashi candle data is still putting in lower lows and lower highs, and the price closed below the previous high. Dark Red: Heiken Ashi candle closed red, but had a higher low or higher high (trend weakening). Optional: I included a setting for allowing high RSI values to overrule Heiken Ashi values (disabled by default). This kind of indicator is best used for managing open positions rather than entering trades. It works on all timeframes and instruments. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions :) Regards, - Matt PS. Here's a snapshot of it against a Heiken Ashi chart for reference:

Pair Strength BasketAgain thanks to LazyBear for bringing over the wavetrend indicator and glaz for the idea of the basket of currencies. This is a power index based on the wavetrend indicator, I cut it down to 5 securities per currency since the limit of securities I could call was 40. I like to use to see which pair is the most OB/OS as it likely presents the best profit potential. AUD = Yellow CAD = Gray CHF = Maroon EUR = Blue GBP = Red JPY = Purple NZD = Lime USD = Green

ADX Color Easy [Dravya]Script #1 So, here is my first script. This is the normal 14 period ADX, but with a color twist, to make it extremely easy on eyes. and then, easily spot the strength. ADX, as you know, shows the strength of the trend. As short term traders, we need price movement and a strong trend. How to use this script ? 1. We don't trade when ADX is in the red zone (0-20) 2. We get ready for trading when it enters the blue zone (20-30) 3. We trade when the ADX enters the green zone (>30) Simple, right ! Now, in the green zone, in which direction you should trade? Here are a few links, to help you use ADX as a strategy , www.tradingsetupsreview.com www.babypips.com Other than this, you can combine this with your own strategies. Personally, I like to use it on stocks on 1H timeframe. Thanks. Would love to hear from you. Please like it to support the project, and help spread it.

Sectors Relative Strength Normal DistributionI wrote this indicator as an attempt to see the Relative Strengths of different sectors in the same scale, but there is also other ways to do that. This indicator plots the normal distribution for the 10 sectors of the SPY for the last X bars of the selected resolution, based on the selected comparative security. It shows which sectors are outperforming and underperforming the SPY (or any other security) relatively to each other by the given deviation.

Relative Strength Index on TranquilizersSome weeks ago, I had a patient in my practice who suffered from internal stability disorders. Certainly not a case of disordered thinking or schizophrenic behaviour, because his general sense of direction wasn’t the problem. He just couldn’t find the right overall balance, an ailment he struggled with for years. Straight away I could diagnose that surgery wasn’t an option, so I gave him a medicine he would clearly benefit from. I never heard from him again…. He must be doing just fine. Cheers, Indicat...

Momentum of Relative strength to Index Leaf_West styleMomentum of Relative Strength to index as used by Leaf_West. This is to be used with the companion Relative Strength to Index indicator Leaf_West Style. Make sure you use the same index for comparison. If you follow his methods be aware of the different moving averages for the different time periods. From Leaf_West: "on my weekly and monthly R/S charts, I include a 13 EMA of the R/S (brown dash line) and an 8 SMA of the 13 EMA (pink solid line). The indicator on the bottom of the weekly/monthly charts is an 8 period momentum indicator of the R/S line. The red horizontal line is drawn at the zero line. For daily or 130-minute time periods (or shorter), my R/S charts are slightly different - the moving averages of the R/S line include a 20EMA (brown dash line), a 50 EMA (blue dash line) and an 8 SMA of the20 EMA (pink solid line). The momentum indicator is also slightly different from the weekly/monthly charts – here I use a 12 period calculation (vs 8 SMA period for the weekly/monthly charts)." Leaf's methods do evolve and so watch for any changes to the preferred MAs etc..

Multi Timeframe RSIThis will show you the RSI of the higher timeframes (up to 1D). Current Timeframe is colored red, higher timeframes are colored from light gray to darker gray (you can change that). There are several ways to enter a trade: 1. look for rising RSI on higher timeframe (line is stepping up in indicator window), wait for current RSI to decline to oversold (with length 14 its below 30), look for a buy entry (vice versa for a sell setup) 2. look for all RSI timeframes to decline to oversold, this is a good zone to enter a buy (vice versa for a sell setup) Keep in Mind that a Stochastic Indicator can have it's High/Low befor Price will have it. Good Luck :)

UCSgears_Linear Regression SlopeThis is version 1 of the Linear Regression Slope. In ideal world the Linear regression slope values will remain same for any time period length. because the equation is y = mx+b, where m is the slope. All I did here is m = y/x The Main Purpose of this indicator is to see, if the Trend is accelerating or decelerating. The first Blue bar will caution when a strong trend is losing strength. I will leave the rest for you to explore. I picked AAPL again, because it does have both up and down trend, in the recent time. Mistake in the code Corrected Version -
