Advanced Exponential Smoothing Indicator (AESI) [AstrideUnicorn]The Advanced Exponential Smoothing Indicator (AESI) provides a smoothed representation of price data using the exponential smoothing technique. It helps traders identify the overall trend and potential reversal points in the market. SETTINGS Length: The number of periods used for the calculation of the exponential moving average (EMA). Higher values provide a smoother result but may lag behind price movements. Alpha: The smoothing factor that determines the weight of the recent price data in the smoothing calculation. Higher values give more weight to recent data, resulting in a more responsive indicator. Cloud Mode: Determines whether to display a cloud between the AESI line and the EMA line. When enabled, the cloud represents bullish (green) and bearish (red) market conditions. HOW TO USE The AESI indicator consists of a single line that represents the advanced exponential smoothing of the price data. It aims to provide a smoother version of the price series, reducing noise and revealing the underlying trend. Bullish Condition: When the AESI line is above the EMA line, it indicates a bullish market condition. Traders may consider looking for buying opportunities or holding onto existing long positions. Bearish Condition: When the AESI line is below the EMA line, it suggests a bearish market condition. Traders may consider looking for selling opportunities or holding onto existing short positions. Optional Cloud Mode: Enabling the cloud mode allows you to visualize bullish and bearish market conditions more clearly. The cloud appears between the AESI line and the EMA line, providing a visual representation of the prevailing market sentiment. Bullish Cloud: When the AESI line is above the EMA line, the cloud is green, indicating a potential bullish market condition. Bearish Cloud: When the AESI line is below the EMA line, the cloud is red, indicating a potential bearish market condition. Note: The AESI indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading signals and make informed trading decisions. Adjusting the Parameters: You can adjust the Length and Alpha parameters to find the best ones for different timeframes and market conditions. Experimenting with different parameter values can help you find the optimal settings for your trading strategy. It is recommended to backtest the AESI indicator on historical price data and evaluate its performance before using it in live trading. Remember that no indicator can guarantee profitable trades, and it is important to use risk management techniques and exercise caution when making trading decisions.

Risk-Adjusted Return Oscillator The Risk-Adjusted Return Oscillator (RAR) is designed to aid traders in predicting future price action by analysing the risk-adjusted performance of an asset. This oscillator is displayed directly on the price chart, unlike other oscillators. By considering the risk-return relationship, the indicator helps identify periods of overvaluation or undervaluation, allowing traders to anticipate potential price reversals or trend accelerations. HOW TO USE The Risk-Adjusted Return Oscillator analyses the risk-adjusted performance of an asset to detect price reversals and accelerations. Here's how to interpret its signals: Ranging Market: Overbought Signal: When the RAR curve reaches the overbought level (upper red line), it suggests a potential reversal signal. It indicates that the asset may be overvalued, and a price correction or trend reversal could occur. Oversold Signal: When the RAR curve reaches the oversold level (lower red line), it indicates a potential reversal signal. It suggests that the asset may be undervalued, and a price correction or trend reversal could take place. Trending Market: Overbought Signal: In a trending market, an overbought signal (RAR curve reaching upper red line) suggests trend acceleration. It indicates that the existing trend is gaining strength, and buying pressure is increasing. Oversold Signal: In a trending market, an oversold signal (RAR curve reaching lower red line) also signifies trend acceleration. It suggests that the prevailing trend is intensifying, and selling pressure is increasing. Thus, it's important to consider the market context when interpreting overbought and oversold signals. In ranging markets, these signals act as potential reversal points. However, in trending markets, they indicate trend acceleration, reinforcing the current price direction. SETTINGS Period Length: Adjust the number of bars used to calculate returns and standard deviation. Smoothing: Define the smoothing period for the RAR curve. Show Overbought/Oversold Signals: Choose whether to display triangular shapes for overbought and oversold conditions.

Simple Moving Average Slope [AstrideUnicorn]The Simple Moving Average Slope indicator (SMAS) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders detect the direction and strength of the current trend in the price of an asset. It is also a great tool for identifying sideways markets. The indicator plots the slope of a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a specified time period. The slope is normalized by dividing it by the standard deviation of the slope over a longer time period. HOW TO USE Traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in various ways. One common way is to look for bullish or bearish signals. A bullish signal occurs when the normalized slope rises above a predetermined threshold, resulting in the indicator turning green, indicating an upward trend in the market. Conversely, a bearish signal is generated when the normalized slope falls below the negative value of the threshold, causing the indicator to turn red, signaling a downtrend in the market. When the normalized slope falls between the positive and negative threshold values, a neutral signal is generated, indicating that the market is moving sideways. This can help traders avoid false trend signals from other indicators and strategies that may occur when the market is in a sideways regime. Additionally, traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm the trend direction. SETTINGS Window - specifies the number of bars used to calculate the SMA slope. The default value is 20. Threshold - specifies the threshold value used to generate the bullish and bearish signals. The default value is 0.6. Traders can adjust these settings based on their trading strategy and the asset being analyzed.

Price Filter [AstrideUnicorn]The indicator calculates a fast price filter based on the closing price of the underlying asset. Overall, it is intended to provide a fast, reliable way to detect trend direction and confirm trend strength, using statistical measures of price movements. The algorithm was adapted from Marcus Schmidberger's (2018) article "High Frequency Trading with the MSCI World ETF". It demeans the price time series using the long-term average and then normalizes it with the long-term standard deviation. The resulting time series is then compared to specified thresholds to determine the trend direction. HOW TO USE The indicator surface is colored green if the price is trending upwards and red if the price is trending downwards. If the indicator outline is the opposite color of the indicator surface, it indicates that the price is moving against the trend and the current trend may be losing strength. If the 'Use threshold' setting is enabled, the indicator will be colored blue if its value is within the range defined by the upper and lower thresholds. This indicates that the price is trending sideways, or that the current trend is losing strength. SETTNGS Length - the length of the long-term average used to calculate the price filter. Recommended range 20 - 200. The sensitivity of the indicator increases as the value becomes smaller, allowing it to detect smaller price moves and swings earlier. Threshold - the threshold value used to detect trend direction. Use threshold - a boolean (true/false) input that determines whether to use the threshold value for confirmation.
