XTL — Indicators and Strategies

MACD Plus Moving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD The MACD is an extremely popular indicator used in technical analysis. It can be used to identify aspects of a security's overall trend. Most notably these aspects are momentum, as well as trend direction and duration. What makes the MACD so informative is that it is actually the combination of two different types of indicators. First, the MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, it takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum. Added Color Plots to Settings Pane. Switched MTF Logic to turn ON/OFF automatically w/ TradingView's Built in Feature. Added Ability to Turn ON/OFF Show MacD & Signal Line. Added Ability to Turn ON/OFF Show Histogram. Added Ability to Change MACD Line Colors Based on Trend. Added Ability to Highlight Price Bars Based on Trend. Added Alerts to Settings Pane. Customized Alerts to Show Symbol, TimeFrame, Closing Price, MACD Crosses Up & MACD Crosses Down Signals in Alert. Alerts are Pre-Set to only Alert on Bar Close. Added ability to show Dots when MACD Crosses. Added Ability to Change Plot Widths in Settings Pane. Added in Alert Feature where Cross Up if above 0 or cross down if below 0 (OFF By Default). Squeeze Pro Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC. In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages. The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three. The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings. The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator. And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression. Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) , a custom interpretation of J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Index (DMI), where : DMI is a collection of three separate indicators ( ADX , +DI , -DI ) combined into one and measures the trend’s strength as well as its direction CDMI is a custom interpretation of DMI which presents ( ADX , +DI , -DI ) with a color scale - representing the trend’s strength, color density - representing momentum/slope of the trend’s strength, and triangle up/down shapes - representing the trend’s direction. CDMI provides all the information in a single line with colored triangle shapes plotted on the bottom. DMI can provide quality information and even trading signals but it is not an easy indicator to master, whereus CDMI simplifies its usage. The CDMI adds additional insight of verifying/confirming the trend as well as its strength Label : Displaying the trend strength and direction Displaying adx and di+/di- values Displaying adx's momentum (growing or falling) Where tooltip label describes "howto read colored dmi line" Ability to display historical values of DMI readings displayed in the label. Added "Expert Trend Locator - XTL" The XTL was developed by Tom Joseph (in his book Applying Technical Analysis ) to identify major trends, similar to Elliott Wave 3 type swings. Blue bars are bullish and indicate a potential upwards impulse. Red bars are bearish and indicate a potential downwards impulse. White bars indicate no trend is detected at the moment. Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets. The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility , and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up. The FE green triangles are "Filtered Entries" The AE green triangles are "Aggressive Filtered Entries"

EWO Breaking Bands & XTL Elliott Wave Principle, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott , proposes that the seemingly chaotic behaviour of the different financial markets isn’t actually chaotic. In fact the markets moves in predictable, repetitive cycles or waves and can be measured and forecast using Fibonacci numbers. These waves are a result of influence on investors from outside sources primarily the current psychology of the masses at that given time. Elliott wave predicts that the prices of the a traded currency pair will evolve in waves: five impulsive waves and three corrective waves. Impulsive waves give the main direction of the market expansion and the corrective waves are in the opposite direction (corrective wave occurrences and combination corrective wave occurrences are much higher comparing to impulsive waves) The Elliott Wave Oscillator ( EWO ) helps identifying where you are in the 5 / 3 Elliott Waves , mainly the highest/lowest values of the oscillator might indicate a potential bullish / bearish Wave 3. Mathematically expressed, EWO is the difference between a 5 period and 35 period moving average. In this study instead 35-period, Fibonacci number 34 is implemented for the slow moving average and formula becomes ewo = sma (HL2, 5) - sma (HL2, 34) The Elliott Wave Oscillator enables traders to track Elliott Wave counts and divergences. It allows traders to observe when an existing wave ends and when a new one begins. Included with the EWO are the breakout bands that help identify strong impulses. The Expert Trend Locator ( XTL ) was developed by Tom Joseph (in his book Applying Technical Analysis) to identify major trends, similar to Elliott Wave 3 type swings. Blue bars are bullish and indicate a potential upwards impulse. Red bars are bearish and indicate a potential downwards impulse. White bars indicate no trend is detected at the moment. Added "TSI Arrows". The arrows is intended to help the viewer identify potential turning points. The presence of arrows indicates that the TSI indicator is either "curling" up under the signal line, or "curling" down over the signal line. This can help to anticipate reversals, or moves in favor of trend direction.

Advanced GET: Tom Joseph's XTL, DMA Cloud & Breakout Signals The Expert Trend Locator ( XTL ) was developed by Tom Joseph to identify major trends, similar to elliott wave 3 type swings. Blue bars are bullish and indicate a potential upwards impulse. Red bars are bearish and indicate a potential downwards impulse. White bars indicate no trend is detected at the moment. Added to the indicator is the recommended use to enter a position, as explained by Tom Joseph in his book Applying Technical Analysis: Once a blue or red bar appears, the indicator signals an entry level, a stop loss level and two target levels (2nd is optional). The levels can be shown until a new signal emerges or just above/below the breakout bar. Finally, a cloud formed by two displaced moving averages (DMA) is included, which allow the trend to continue its momentum. During an uptrend the lower moving average could serve as a trailing stop, and during a downtrend the upper moving average could serve as the trailing stop. Enjoy!

Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum). What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels . This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move. Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC. In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages. The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three. The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings. The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator. And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression. Now to explain the parameters: Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price. Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels . Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands . Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel. Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes. Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator. Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing. Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number. Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations. Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets. The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation.
