Nonlinear regression: First, a few words about nonlinear regression: Nonlinear regression is a form of regression analysis in which data is fit to a model and then expressed as a mathematical function. Simple linear regression relates two variables (X and Y) with a straight line (y = mx...

Asymmetric bands: There are a lot of bands type indicators and almost all are working in a very similar way: some basic value is taken to be a central value and the bands are drawn on equal distances up and down. That encloses the prices very well, but usually causes a lag when there is a...

Synthetic smoothed RSI: The idea of this indicator is the same as for the synthetic RSI: Instead of using one RSI, the indicator is using 3 instances of RSI, Those 3 instances of RSI are then used to calculate the "synthetic" value (that is not an average of the 3 since the calculation...

Synthetic RSI: The idea of this indicator is simple: Instead of using one RSI, the indicator is using 3 instances of RSI, Those 3 instances of RSI are then used to calculate the "synthetic" value (that is not an average of the 3 since the calculation differs from an average). As an addition...

Polychromatic Momentum: Denis Meyers that invented Polychromatic Momentum, describes it as: Momentum is defined as the difference, or percent change, between the current bar and a bar some lookback period in the past. The major problem with using momentum based indicators is that the...

Dsl - RSI of average: This indicator is using filtered prices for RSI (instead of using "raw" prices) and is using Discontinued Signal Line for trend assessment (instead of using slope or fixed levels). Price filtering prior to RSI calculation helps in making less false signals without...

Stochastic of Hull: The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator comparing the price to the range of its prices over a certain period of time. The sensitivity of the oscillator to market movements is reducible by adjusting that time period or by taking a Moving Average of the result....

Double Smoothed EMA: In his article "Trading With An Adaptive Price Zone", Lee Leibfarth uses an interesting variation of EMA. Even though the author of the article did not use that name, due to the nature of how the indicator is calculated, we are going to use the "double smoothed EMA"....

Schaff Trend Cycle - DEMA: The Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) indicator is the product of combining Slow Stochastics and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD). The MACD has a reputation as a trend indicator, but it's also notorious for lagging due to its slow responsive signal line. The...

Rsi(var) Zerolag DEMA: As it was shown in the Rsi(var) indicator, other Moving Averages can be used for calculation of an RSI indicator. This version is one more step in that direction. Adding zero lag DEMA to the RSI calculation as a preferred smoothing method has two things as a result: It...

Triple Hull: The indicator is using 3 instances of Hull Moving Average. The Hull Moving Average (HMA), developed by Alan Hull, is an extremely fast and smooth moving average. In fact, the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time. Combining 3...
