Traders Dynamic Index Indicator Alert v0.1 by JustUncleLThis is a trend trading indicator+alert utilising the Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), Price Action Channel (PAC) and Heikin Ashi candles.
About 6months ago I came across the use of TDI in "E.A.S.Y. Method" that I found in forexfactory forums: www.forexfactory.com
and I was able to set up a chart based on the specifications by using Kurbelklaus scripts. However, I found that the alerts were being generated one or two bars too late, so at that time I was not successful using it with Binary Options. A few months later I found a variation of the method in the forecfactory forums which is able to generate the alerts a bit earlier, so this indicator is a modification of that early detection version.
The indicator can optionally use Heikin Ashi candles only for all it's calculation. I would recommend viewing the chart with Heikin Ashi candles, these smooth out the trends and makes trends very clear.
I found that this method it works good with most currency pairs or commodities and with 5min+ timeframe charts. I would suggest expiry of 2 to 6 candles.
ALERT GENERATION:
=================

---------------------------------------------
Volatility Band VB(34), color: Blue, buffer: UpZone, DnZone
Relative Strength Index RSI(13)
RSI PRICE LINE (2), color: Green, buffer: mab
RSI TRADE SIGNAL LINE (7), color: Red, buffer: mbb
MARKET BASE LINE MID VB(34), color: Orange, buffer: mid
Indicator SignalLevels:
-------------------------------
RSI_OversoldLevel : 22 (normally: 32)
RSI_OverboughtLevel : 78 (normally: 68)
Alert Conditions:
-----------------------
Strong Buy : yellow
Medium Buy : aqua
Weak Buy : blue
Strong Sell : fuchsia
Medium Sell : purple
Weak Sell : black
Hints on How to use:
----------------------------
- When a Medium or Strong alert is generated and MACD histogram colour matches the direction
of the alert (optional auto filter), then place trade in direction of alert candle and MACD.
- I use the multi-Hull MA's for overall trend direction confirmation.
- Best positions normally occur near the MACD(5,15,1) Histogram crossing the zero line.
- The optional coloured Dots along the bottom of the indicator represent the first alert
of this type that was generated in this sequence.
- It is advisable to trade in the direction of the main trend as indicated the HULL MA red cloud:
if red cloud underneath PAC then BULLISH trend, if red cloud above PAC then BEARISH trend.
- Selecting the HeiKin Ashi candles does affect the MACD and MA caculations, so if you select
normal candles the result chart will change. You can still Optionally select to use Heikin Ashi
for calculations.
- When using the Heikin Ashi candles, a good buy entry is indicated by long top wick and no bottom wick
for bull (green) candles and good sell entry is indicated by long bottom wick and no top wick for
bear (red) candles.
- When the MACD histogram is flat and close to zero line,
this indicates a ranging market, do NOT trade when this occurs.
- When the PAC channel on the main chart is spread apart widely, this is an indication
of extreme volatility and choppy chart, do NOT try to trade during these periods.
A choppy chart is also indicated by Heikin Ashi candles with long wicks on both sides
of the candles.
- You can specify what strength level Alerts are generated (default 2):
Level (1) means only generate Strong Alerts only.
Level (2) means generate Strong and Medium Alerts.
Level (3) means generate Strong, Medium and Weak Alerts.

Trend LengthScript tries to capture the length of trends. It calculates an SMA and then determines the slope of the SMA using a simple momentum function. From there it counts bars from when the slope changed directions last. The lime green line is the count from when the slope changed. The yellow line is the average time of a trend. The white line is "trying" to capture the length of a full healthy pip running trend. Pick and SMA you like and then run through many currencies. I find that trends tend to be the same length. Not surprising as the markets are extremely correlated to each other. The trick is to find the most active pair for action. To do that look up my Pairs Range script.
Comments are welcome.
Market Meanness Index-Price ChangesThis is the Market Mean index. It is used to identify if the market is really trending or if it is range bound(random). In theory, a random sample will be mean reverting 75% of the time. This indicator checks to see what how much the market is mean reverting and converts it to a percentage. If the index is around 75 or higher than the price curve of the market is range bound and there is no trend from a statistical standpoint. If the index is below 75 this means the price curve of the market is in fact trending in a direction as the market is not reverting as much as it should if it were truly following a random/range bound price curve.
ZeroLag ema + adx = trueCombined LazyBears ZeroLag EMA and CapnOscars moving average ADX. Here's the result.
I figured it could be used as a trend trendtrading system,
ADX red + ema cross downards = short.
ADX green + ema cross up = long.
ADX black + ema cross = no trade
Or something along those line. A way filter out whipsaws.
This is just something I threw together in 5 min, so din't go all in tho. Haven't had time to test.
2 ADX
3 Z-EMAs
Colors/settings can be customized.
Trend FilterThe indicator paints the bar colours based on the average open and average close for past N days.
if average close is above average open, the bars are coloured green, otherwise they are coloured red
It can be used as a general trend filter on weekly, daily bars. even on intraday timeframes, this would work well and give a sense of the current trend direction.
GetTrendStrategyA simple strategy is to determine the trend. Do not use it for real-time transactions. Use it as a Reaffirmation trade entry.
Moving Average Cross Alert, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) (by ChartArt)See when two moving averages cross. With the option to choose between four moving average calculations:
SMA = simple moving average
EMA = exponential moving average (default)
WMA = weighted moving average
Linear = linear regression
The moving averages can be plotted from different time-frames, like e.g. the weekly or 4 hour time-frame using HL2, HLC3 or OHLC4 as price source for the calculation. In addition there is a background color alert and arrows when the moving averages cross each other when the price also rises or falls. And the moving averages are colored depending on their trend direction (if they are trending up or down).
ZTLs Percentage-based Renko EmulatorHere is another version of my Flex Renko script. It is uses percentage-based brick sizes to draw the Renkos instead of ATR or static brick sizes. What makes the percentage-based drawing style great is that one doesn't need to adjust stops so many times like they would with a ATR based Renko. It also makes moving between tickers smooth as well as one doesn't have to adjust the brick-size for each name.
to use: By default the setting is ".001" or 10 basis points. So ".01" is 1 percent or 100 basis points and so-forth. This style is perfect for those traders who make trades on a percentage basis over a price-level basis. It's also good for percentage-based stops.
The yellow lines represent where the price needs to go to draw another Renko brick.
ZTLs Bar_TrendHere is an adaptation of TTM_Trend I coded. It's all pretty self explanatory. Aqua = buy and red = sell.
There's only one setting to tweak and it's the look-back for highest and lowest.
I have found that this indicator gives signals at almost identical areas to the TTM_Trend but tend to actually be a little more efficient (earlier buy/sell signals), although I haven't thoroughly back-tested it.
Enjoy!

Flex Renko Emulatorupdate:
As far as my algorithm design will take me this is it. So It's complete in my eyes. Here is a "working" version of something I've been looking for for a long time: "Flex" Renko Charting.
Bricks' sizes are determined by ATR and are set by simply choosing a resolution for the ATR calculation. No need to go in and choose renko granulation(resolution) AND brick size. Renko granulation is current chart resolution. Feel free to send me feedback on how to manage the reversal bricks' calculation or any other thoughts and ideas.
Replace the "close" in the main body of the renko calculation with 'high' and 'low' to get more consistent paintings across different aggregations since renkos aren't technically based off closing prices but where the price has been. Of course it's all a matter of preference:
Brick1 = high >
nz(Brick1) + BrickSize ? nz(Brick1) + BrickSize : low <
nz(Brick1) - BrickSize ?
nz(Brick1) - BrickSize
: nz(Brick1)
