Step RSI [Loxx]Enhanced Moving Average Calculation with Stepped Moving Average and the Advantages over Regular RSI
Technical analysis plays a crucial role in understanding and predicting market trends. One popular indicator used by traders and analysts is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). However, an enhanced approach called Stepped Moving Average, in combination with the Slow RSI function, offers several advantages over regular RSI calculations.
Stepped Moving Average and Moving Averages:
The Stepped Moving Average function serves as a crucial component in the calculation of moving averages. Moving averages smooth out price data over a specific period to identify trends and potential trading signals. By employing the Stepped Moving Average function, traders can enhance the accuracy of moving averages and make more informed decisions.
Stepped Moving Average takes two parameters: the current RSI value and a size parameter. It computes the next step in the moving average calculation by determining the upper and lower bounds of the moving average range. It accomplishes this by adjusting the values of smax and smin based on the given RSI and size.
Furthermore, Stepped Moving Average introduces the concept of a trend variable. By comparing the previous trend value with the current RSI and the previous upper and lower bounds, it updates the trend accordingly. This feature enables traders to identify potential shifts in market sentiment and make timely adjustments to their trading strategies.
Advantages over Regular RSI:
Enhanced Range Boundaries:
The inclusion of size parameters in Stepped Moving Average allows for more precise determination of the upper and lower bounds of the moving average range. This feature provides traders with a clearer understanding of the potential price levels that can influence market behavior. Consequently, it aids in setting more effective entry and exit points for trades.
Improved Trend Identification:
The trend variable in Stepped Moving Average helps traders identify changes in market trends more accurately. By considering the previous trend value and comparing it to the current RSI and previous bounds, Stepped Moving Average captures trend reversals with greater precision. This capability empowers traders to respond swiftly to market shifts and potentially capture more profitable trading opportunities.
Smoother Moving Averages:
Stepped Moving Average's ability to adjust the moving average range bounds based on trend changes and size parameters results in smoother moving averages. Regular RSI calculations may produce jagged or erratic results due to abrupt market movements. Stepped Moving Average mitigates this issue by dynamically adapting the range boundaries, thereby providing traders with more reliable and consistent moving average signals.
Complementary Functionality with Slow RSI:
Stepped Moving Average and Slow RSI function in harmony to provide a comprehensive trading analysis toolkit. While Stepped Moving Average refines the moving average calculation process, Slow RSI offers a more accurate representation of market strength. The combination of these two functions facilitates a deeper understanding of market dynamics and assists traders in making better-informed decisions.

Step-MA Filtered Stochastic [Loxx]Step-MA Filtered Stochastic is a stochastic indicator with step moving average filtering. This smooths the signal by filtering out noise.
What is the Stochastic Indicator?
The stochastic oscillator, also known as stochastic indicator, is a popular trading indicator that is useful for predicting trend reversals. It also focuses on price momentum and can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels in shares, indices, currencies and many other investment assets.
The stochastic oscillator measures the momentum of price movements. Momentum is the rate of acceleration in price movement. The idea behind the stochastic indicator is that the momentum of an instrument’s price will often change before the price movement of the instrument actually changes direction. As a result, the indicator can be used to predict trend reversals.
The stochastic indicator can be used by experienced traders and those learning technical analysis. With the help of other technical analysis tools such as moving averages, trendlines and support and resistance levels, the stochastic oscillator can help to improve trading accuracy and identify profitable entry and exit points.

Step-MA Filtered CCI [Loxx]Step-MA Filtered CCI is a CCI indicator that is filtered using a stepping moving average function. This produces a CCI that is much cleaner due to noise reduction.
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.

Generalized Step Moving Average w/ Pips Filter [Loxx]Generalized Step Moving Average w/ Pips Filter is a stepping function on source input to derive a moving average. This general form the stepping can also be applied to any other input such as EMA, SMA, HMA, WMA, etc.. This moving average employ a filtering system based on the following:
Core filter, both min and max value: pips * (multiplier) or the (average of momentum) * (multiplier).
Post processing filter: pips * (multiplier)
These filtering options require trend to shift by the above values before changing direction thereby reducing noise and yielding a better defined trend.
Things to note
This indicator requires fine tuning to make it work on all tickers. If you place this on a chart and it shows all green or red candles, then you must adjust the indicator to coincide with the pip movement of that ticker.
This indicator can be used on any timeframe.
