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...
