Asctrend indicator in depth - page 2

 

If we are talking about new filter so this indicator may be good one: I_XO_A_H . I just modified this indicator to work for 5 digit broker (what is why ..._5d). This indicator is used for Scalp_net system (my system :) ) for the long time.

PS. I uploaded this indicator as zip archive version our forum is not allowing to have "_" in the name of indicator sorry.

The other indicator which may be good filter is STIX (this is famous indicator working on oversold/overbought levels) - example (indicator is attached):

And next filter - default Stochastic indicator with the settings 14/5/5, price close, MA method simple (working on the same way as STIX - sell from 60 - 80 level and buy is confirmed if indicator is below 50 - 20 or 30 or 40 as an optional one):

Did you know that Stochastic and WPR are exactly the same ? Only difference is scaling.

Yes, WPR and Stochastic are having similar formula for calculation and both are used for measures overbought/oversold levels. But stochastic indicator is usually used for overbought/oversold in many EAs by many versions of indicator. But WPR - not sorry. I mean: Stochastic indicator is practically used for almost everywhere.

 

Just an example: 3 indicators with same settings

Just an example - compare in CodeBase about

how many WPR indicator (10) vs how many Stochastic indicators (100 stoch related indies)

 

Stochastic indicator (Sto.chas.tic - sto kas'tik) was invented by C. Ralph Dystant (1902-1978) and George C. Lane (1921-2004). WPR was invented by Larry Williams but he uses Stochastic in some cases as an example of WPR :)

But Stochastic is more developed by many versions and more used than WPR for example.

Yes. And ???

I don't know which came first, Stochastic or WPR, but all information given by WPR as available within Stochastic, so why create another indicator ? One may wonder how much of these indicators in the codebase actually brings something new.
